Chapter 5-

The next day harry woke up quite early. He quietly climbed out of bed and went and showered. He stood under the warm water and let it flow down over his face. It was Friday and the last day of classes for the week. Today he had only 4 classes and he had to find Draco and tell him he would come to the party. His first lesson was double potions with the Slytherins so he wouldn't have trouble finding him. He was still a little bit apprehensive about attending a party in the Slytherin common room. But he didn't want to refuse; maybe Draco was for real about wanting to be their friend, and this was going to be a huge party, it was too good to refuse. These parties were meant to be really wild and it was invitation only so he was lucky to be invited. He got out of the shower and dried himself magically and quickly found his clothes. By the time he was dressed and out of the shower it was 7:00 and he quickly made his way downstairs into the common room and sat down by the fire. The house elves came to light the fire early in the mornings now that it was getting cooler and it was always warm in the common rooms when they got up. Harry started to doze off in his chair and soon everyone was down in the common room making noise, he woke up. Hermione was on the couch next to him helping Ron with some last minute potions' homework.

"Hello sleepyhead" she said smiling. "We were waiting for you to wake up before we went down to breakfast. And lucky we had the time because Ron is really slack and has only just finished his homework" she sighed and looked at Ron in an exasperated but loving way. She stood up and straightened her skirt. For some reason her hair looked a lot nicer today and harry saw that Ron had noticed too. Why didn't he comment on it? Ron was very thick when it came to how to win girls. He had to talk to him.

"You go ahead 'Mione, Ron and me need to look over our Divination homework." Hermione looked at harry confused but he nodded at her and gave her a knowing look. She still looked sort of dazed but she gave in and walked out.

"What divination homework mate?" Ron looked really worried.

"Oh god Ron you're as thick as can be! Look at Hermione! She looks divine; you can see it I saw you looking at her. SAY SOMETHING!" he looked at Ron's startled face. 'And come on. come to the party! Yeah maybe it's with the Slytherins but ignore them. focus on Hermione, coz I can plainly see she wants you." He smiled at Ron and walked out. Sometimes people like Ron need to be taken aside and shaken a little. Just hopefully he had taken his advice.

He made his way into the great hall with Ron not too far behind. Every time he turned to look at him he looked as if he was talking to himself and thinking very hard. "God I hope this works" harry thought to himself. He went and sat next to Hermione and Ron sat on the other side of her. "God move mate" he thought. He sat down and looked at the two of them they were talking about what they were going to wear to the Halloween ball. He ate his breakfast and watched the way they spoke to each other. Hermione played with her hair flirtatiously and spoke about her ideas for costumes. Harry tuned out and thought bout what he would wear. He saw Dumbledore standing up to speak. He cleared his voice and everyone turned to look at him.

"I would like to make some quick announcements before you all head off to class. First of all for those of you who need to buy costumes for the Halloween ball you will be allowed to visit Hogsmede tomorrow as long as you are back here by 5. Those of you in the lower year that are not allowed to visit Hogsmede, you will be allowed in small groups if you have a 6th or 7th year or a teacher with you. Also I would like to add that for this ball you wont be asked to bring dates. It is aimed for you to get to know lots of different students so I ask you to dance with as many people as possible. So this is a no date ball. That will be all now enjoy your classes and learn lots." He smiled and his eyes twinkled the way they always did.

Everyone looked at each other. Lucky they weren't needed to bring dates because no one had even thought of it. Harry had no idea what to wear and he was starting to worry. He didn't really have time to worry and he made his way to classes and tried to concentrate. Hermione and Ron had been flirting all day. It was really cute. That night when they sat in the common room after dinner they sat staring at each other from either side of harry. They all had no idea what they were going to wear to the costume ball and they decided they would set out for Hogsmede as early as possible. They all went to bed quite early and got ready for a long day. X x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x X

The next morning they all woke up just after 7 and went down to breakfast early. Barely anyone was awake yet and it was very quite in the great hall. Hermione had decided on what she was going to wear and was teasing the boys with it because she wanted to keep it a secret. But she did promise to help them choose what they would wear.

They set off to hogsmede and made their way to the costume shop. Hermione went off and whispered something to the witch at the counter and she went off and brought Hermione a wrapped up package.

"Go back to school and try it on" she said, "and if it doesn't fit then bring it back when you're alone." She winked at Hermione and then turned to harry and Ron. "Now what would you guy like to wear to your ball? I'm really glad you came in early, because there's going to be a rush with all these hogwarts students wanting costumes." She smiled and then directed harry and Ron over to some costumes by the wall. Ron tried on a few different costumes and Hermione squealed with delight when she saw him in the muggle knight's costume.

"Oh that is just gorgeous! You have to wear that Ron!" she squealed. He looked at her with disbelief as the helmet fell down over his eyes.

"You've got to be kidding me?" he said, "I look ridiculous!"

"Oh no you don't, and don't worry no one will be able to recognize you coz you have the helmet" she said and she ran over to the counter and paid for the costume so he couldn't back out. Harry looked around but couldn't find anything that was right. Nothing caught his eye and he didn't want to wear something ridiculous like Ron.

"What about you harry?" Hermione asked exhausted after her excitement over Ron's costume. "hurry up I'm starving and we've been here ages. I want to get to the three broomsticks for a drink and something to eat. I promised Ginny we'd meet her for lunch at 12 and its nearly quarter to.wow we've been here hours!"

Harry didn't feel much like shopping anymore, maybe he'd come back later by himself.

"Don't worry 'Mione, Dumbledore said we'd have a couple of chances to get costumes so I'll come back another day. I'm starving too and we don't want to keep Ginny waiting."

Hermione knew better than to argue with him about being organised before time so she shrugged and followed him out hugging her costume to her chest. They met up with Ginny in the three broomsticks and she too had her costume but she wouldn't show anyone. She seemed in a more cheerful mood with harry and they had a very happy and friendly lunch. They made their way back to school at about 3 o'clock after a quick visit to Honeydukes to restock on some sweets for class. When they got back to school Hermione disappeared up to the girls' dormitory with her costume and then came down 15 minutes later looking thoroughly pleased with herself.

"Hmm. I'll judge by the smile on your face that your costume fits?' asked Harry grinning mischievously.

"Yes It does, and no you're not going to see what it is" she teased before sitting down on the floor to finish her homework. They spent the rest of the night working on their homework and trying to help harry decide what to wear. They worked late into the night and when they finally dragged themselves to bed they were still no nearer to deciding what harry would wear.
