~Ok, chapter 7!~
The Halloween Ball was tonight and Misti still didn't know what she was going to where. She had completely forgotten to mention the costume idea to Harry and she only had 2 hours to get ready. She'd just have to go in costume alone. She was going medieval and was wearing a shimmering periwinkle dress with an empire waist and flowing skirt. It fitted her perfectly. She did her hair in a bun with occasionally strands of hair that framed her face. Harry and Ron had already headed down to the ball and Hermione had just finished getting ready and was waiting for Hermione. Hermione and Ron had decided to go as Cinderella and Prince Charming. Hermione looked exactly like the fictional character, except for her auburn hair, which hung loosely around her shoulders.
"Are you ready? Harry and Ron are waiting for us."
"You go ahead, I'll be down in a minute." Misti continued looking for her necklace that completed the outfit. She found it. It was a beautiful, pale blue, pearl choker with dangles of blue topaz stones. Like the dress it fit perfectly. As a last touch she added matching earrings. Now she was ready. She headed out of the common room and down to the Great Hall.
Like all dances, the Great Hall was packed with students and teachers. Ron and Hermione were already dancing. Harry was looking around, obviously for Misti. Dumbledore headed over to Harry.
"No need to search any further." He nodded over to the entrance. Harry was astonished. He practically ran over to where Misti was.
"You look beautiful." She smiled.
"Thank you." Harry wasn't the only one who thought so. As Harry and Misti made their way across the floor, heads constantly turned. Harry and Misti started dancing over by Ron and Hermione.
"Hey! You look great Misti!" Hermione exclaimed. Ron was speechless.
Believe by Cher was playing. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. Once the song ended Harry and Misti headed over to a near by table. Parvati and Seamus sat a ways down the table. Harry noticed she seemed to be staring at him.
"Hey Misti, you want to dance?" Fred came over to where they were sitting.
"Sure! I'll be right back." She whispered to Harry. She lightly pecked him on the lips.
"Well, we're joining them." Ron and Hermione left the table to go dance. Parvati took this as an open invitation and walked over to Harry.
" Would you mind dancing with me?" She flashed a smile at him.
"Umm, yeah, I guess."

Sirius sat at the table watching the students dance. It reminded him of when he attended Hogwarts. Painful memories were back. He couldn't believe how much Misti looked exactly like her mother.
"She looks so much like her mother." Sirius hadn't noticed Snape was there as well.
"Yes, she does." Try as he may to hate Snape for it all he couldn't help but put the blame on himself.

Dumbledore had just livened up the party as he had barely managed to get McGonagall to dance with him to an old favorite.
"This will be our theme song this year." Forever Young by Alphaville played loud and lively over the speakers. About half way through the song Fred was dragged away by Lee and George to go do some much needed planning. Malfoy cut in.
"Hi." Misti, unlike the group, didn't see what was so bad about him. She simply thought he needed a chance.

"Oh my god. No he did not!" Ron practically shouted. He elbowed Harry who was engaged in a rather unwanted conversation with Parvati.
"Ow! What Ron!" Ron pointed over to Malfoy and Misti. Hermione grabbed the back of Harry's shirt as he made his attempt to scrabble over the table to get to Malfoy.
"Harry, this isn't the place or the time." Harry and Ron kept throwing deadly glares at Malfoy.
"Harry..." Parvati was desperately trying to regain his attention.
"Not now Parvati." He got up and calmly left the table.
"May I cut in?" Malfoy glared then stepped aside. He knew this was one battle he'd have to work on. Simple insults and wands weren't going to work this time. Take My Breath Away began to play. She leaned her head against him as they danced slowly. Sirius was now doing his best to hold back the tears.
___________________________________________________________________________________
The night wore on and eventually the dance ended, with much reluctance. The Gryffindors all made their way up to the common room while Fred and George disappeared to go get a few things for the party that would continue in the common room.
" Let's go." Misti dragged Harry away from the group.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see."
After a few stair cases and a much smaller tower, they finally managed to get to the top of the tower. Harry walked over to the window where a beautiful image of the lake under the glow of a full moon and billions of stars held him in awe. Misti walked over to where Harry was and began to climb out the window.
"What are you doing?"
"Well, you'd think with all the places you've been around here you'd at least have been upon the roof." Harry was still trying to piece together what was going on.
Come on. It's easy." Harry, still wondering what he was doing, climbed out the window.
"Here, take my hand." She pulled him up to a flat ledge next to the tower.
"This is amazing." Harry looked up to see a perfect view of stars. Below them was an amazing view of the Hogwarts grounds and the Forbidden Forest. Harry went over and sat beside Misti. A slight breeze brushed through her hair. They spent the next few hours in each others' arms gazing at the stars.
