Moonless Nights

Chapter 10: Countdown and Preparation

By Fate's Angel

***Ginny's Pov***

            Hogsmeade was fun when you're normal. But being a vampire is a whole other story.

            Standing outside of my "relatives" costume shop, I had feelings of apprehension.

            The shop looked like it would have been a nice shop if the windows weren't painted black and they didn't put two gargoyles outside that sing a weird Halloween song. Then, the shop would haven been peachy. Eh, it's their shop.

            I opened the door and screaming Muggle instruments met me. Some passersby stopped to see where the noise was coming from.

            They abruptly stopped and there were hushed voices in the shop and some quick light footsteps. Out of the dark abyss of the shop came a familiar head.

            Dark tanned and with a head of different shades of brown…It was Sarah!

            Sarah's eyes adjusted to the outside brightness. Then her eyes widened realized that I was standing in front of her.

            "Ginny" Sarah exclaimed as she pulled me into a hug.

            I returned her hug. She took a step back and she looked me over.

            "Good it will fit" she said.

            "What?"

            "You'll see. Just come inside" as she pulled me into the dark shop.

***Two weeks later***

***Draco's Pov***

            Dumbledore is an old cot. Making us go to a dance. And wear costumes! What is wrong with that man!?

            This situation became worse when Pansy started gnawing my arm again. She's making huge hints that I should go with her. I'm a Malfoy, I don't go to dances with a pug-faced dead weight.

            Now, if I went with little Weasley I might enjoy it. Or maybe not. She's a Weasley…yet a vampire. They kind of cancel each other out…but what I doing thinking of a Weasley!

            Hmmm…now, for a costume…I haven't really thought of that. Ah now I know I will go as myself. No, no not just regular self but vampire self. It will be simple starve for a bit try not to eat people and I'm sure to have a good time. Who am I kidding?! This is going to suck!

            Before you berate me about length. I'm having a slight creative block. This means I have way too many story ideas. Okay, anyway, re-read chapter 8. Oh and sorry for the time jumps. Things are going to start get interesting. Please Review!
