Yay! I have another chapter out. This one is a long one. And it has a kind of a weird cliffhanger. Anyway if there are any grammar mistakes blame that on my beta. And there is any spelling mistakes. Crap! So, on with the story!
Disclamier: I don't own HP. Actually I rather own Final Fantasy 7. ^_^ oh yeah I don't own the song 'Cold' by Static-X
Moonless Nights
Chapter 12: The Dance and the Attack
By: Fate's Angel
Ginny entered the doorway and was greeted by Emile
"Ah the costume suits you well," Emile exclaimed.
"Why, thank you. I believed you picked this out." Ginny asked.
Emile didn't say anything, so Ginny took that as a 'yes'.
Emile looped Ginny's arm around his and they headed towards the side.
"I've observed that you have been sleeping in my class." Emile said.
"Because I was tired." Ginny whined.
Emile chuckled, "Well, you could learn something very useful in my class."
Emile chuckled again, and then strode away. Ginny was left at the punch stand. She watched the band set up and test their equipment.
But Ginny didn't see Ron enter the Great Hall with his two best friends.
***
Ron thought he was a little late, but seeing that everybody wasn't there, he was early. Harry and Hermione were trailing slowly behind him too drunk in their love. Ron's costume was a knight while Harry and Hermione went as Romeo and Juliet. While Ron was heading towards the ball earlier, he had an unpleasant encounter with Malfoy.
Malfoy made a comment about his costume being made out of tin cans. Noticing Malfoy having fangs, Ron's comeback was something about biting someone.
Malfoy's face turned to an annoyed expression. Ron was tensed for an so he could hex him. Ron was surprised when Malfoy walked away without uttering a word.
Which puts us back to the present situation.
***
Ron was looking around recognizing some people but not many others. One person caught his eye. She was standing next to the punch table watching the band set up.
'She looks familiar…' Ron thought, 'Red hair…pale skin…freckles…Wait a minute that's Ginny!'
Ron marched over to Ginny and took her by the arm.
"Ginny! Why are you prancing around half-naked?!" Ron exclaimed.
A few party-goers turned to look where the out burst came from.
"Ron, this is my costume." Ginny said calmly.
"What!? Wait till I-"Ron was cut off when Dumbledore started his speech to kick off the ball.
"Welcome to our 2nd Annual Halloween Ball!"
Students cheered.
"Our guest band tonight is the Blood Crypts! Be careful and have fun!"
The bad started playing 'Cold' while the party was on its course, unfortunately so was Ron's ranting.
"Wait till I tell Mum-"Ron was interrupted again by Draco Malfoy.
Ginny quirked an eyebrow at Malfoy's presence.
"Two Weasley's fighting. How exciting." Draco said sarcastically.
Ron turned another shade of red.
Draco's eyes turned towards Ron's. Draco's eyes turned bright red then swirly.
"You will let you sister have a dance with me."
Ron nodded numbly while Ginny smiled in amusement.
"I accept." Ginny replied.
Draco took Ginny's hand and led her towards the dance floor.
When the dance couple were out of Ron's sight. His head snapped up and looked around. Then noticing Ginny was not there he went to go search for his rouge sister.
Meanwhile on the dance floor the non-romantic vampire couple, were dancing formally.
"So, you used thrall on my brother." Ginny said wryly.
"Of course! You wouldn't have gotten away from him otherwise." Draco said logically.
"True."
"So, aren't you going to thank me?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because you're still a slimy ferret."
"I thought we got pass that."
"Well, obviously I didn't."
Draco stayed quiet after the last comment. They danced out the song. Then started on the next one.
***
Meanwhile, outside on the Hogwarts ground, trouble was brewing.
30 DeathEaters had apparited and were heading to the ball.
At the ball the band were starting on the next song, when suddenly the door burst open. Endless black mass poured into the Great Hall. Students were screaming and running, trying to get away.
The professors moved to protect the students.
"QUIET!!" Lucius ordered.
All movement stopped and the room turned deathly quiet. The DeathEaters were covering all exits. The professors took up defensive positions. The vampire band stood ready to attack.
"Now! I want my son and the female Weasley out now!" Lucius ordered.
A few moments later, two DeathEaters brought out two reluctant vampires.
"I found them, sir!" one of the DeathEaters reported.
"Good, good." Lucius complimented.
"Father!", Draco yelled, "What are you doing here!?"
"Good question, my boy!" Lucius said.
Lucius stated pacing. His leather boots made clicking echoes.
"You two, "pointing to Ginny and Draco, "are very important! You have something that Voldemort wants!"
Some students cringed at the mention of Voldemort, while others gasped at their soon to be enemies.
"This will be a good show!" Lucius continued, "Just watch!"
Lucius pointed his wand and started muttering words. While the ritual was proceeding, Draco and Ginny's eyes turned bright red. Then their bodies were surrounded by white light. After a few seconds it receded, while Lucius put down his wand and smirked.
Draco and Ginny looked normal. Their bodies didn't look any different.
Ginny smirked, her eyes narrowed, "We're baa~ck!"
That was a long chapter. My wrist hurt. Ow! Okay, next chapter should be by next week. I think. Please Review!
