Finally the time for the ball arrived. Harry was excited. He had been to many wizarding balls and no muggle ones. Except for once. His Aunt and Uncle went to heaps of balls and one time they were forced to take Harry by Hagrid. Harry had wished Hagrid had never done that because the moment he arrived things went terribly wrong. Harry shook his head; he didn't want to think about it. He wandered around looking for Hermione, but really he was looking for Alexis. He found Hermione first in a bright red dress and her hair straightened with a large red flower in her hair. Draco was sitting next to her. He was wearing a smart suit and a black bow tie. He's hair didn't look as greasy as what it did at Hogwarts. In fact, it made him look descent. Harry decided not to bother Hermione so he continued his search for Alexis. He soon found her in a group of girls. Harry didn't really want to go up to her, but remembered back to when he was in Hogwarts and all the times he blew his chances with Cho because he was to nervous. So Harry took a deep breathe a strode over to Alexis.
"Hi Alexis, you look, ummmm, nice" Harry could have hit himself across the head at this moment, nice? Nice was to plain a word to use, besides, she looked more then nice.
"Oh, hi Harry. Girls, this is my date I was telling you about. The one and only Harry Potter. What do you think ladies?" Alexis smirked at the group of girls that had congregated around them. Everyone was silent, until a girl spoke.
"You are so lucky Alexis; Harry Potter is taking you to the ball!" Harry began to blush; luckily someone began banging on a glass. Everyone turned around, a long table appeared, sitting on there were about twenty professors. In the centre was a short dumpy man. Harry guessed that this was Professor Stubble, the principal.
"Welcome new people to Valgonda! We hope you found the ballroom easily!" Professor Stubble began to laugh at his own pathetic joke. "Anyway, LET THE DANCING BEGIN!" Professor Stubble sat down and started talking to the teacher sitting next to him. They didn't play the music that everyone was used to hearing. They began to play muggle music. First was a song by some band called Matchbox 20. Hermione jumped up.
"I love Matchbox 20!" C'mon Malfoy, let's dance" Hermione grabbed Malfoy by the hand a pulled him up. They danced to every song. Halfway through the ball Harry realised that Ron wasn't there. Harry didn't want to go back to the dorm by himself, he didn't want to ask Hermione either because she was having so much fun. So Harry went to get Alexis, Alexis was sitting on chair, nearly asleep.
"Alexis, what's wrong?" Harry rushed up to her. She didn't reply, he looked on the table and there was about 10 empty bottles of beer. Harry knew what beer can do to you, apparently Alexis didn't. Harry picked Alexis up and carried her to the dorm. It was a long walk because Harry just realised that he left his broom upstairs. Finally he reached the top; he had no hands free so he kicked the door open. Ron wasn't in the dorm either. He sat Alexis on a chair.
"Don't go to sleep Alexis, what ever you do, don't go to sleep!" Harry shouted. But it was to late. Alexis had gone to sleep. Harry didn't know what to do, he didn't know where anything was in the school. Hermione! She would know a spell. Harry jumped on his broom and zoomed down the stairs. Hermione was standing at the bottom of the stairs with Draco, just before they did anything Harry jumped in the middle.
"Hermione do you know a spell for concussion?" Harry asked.
"Witches and wizards don't get concussion Harry, now bye-bye" Hermione waved her hand. Harry felt relieved and annoyed. One of his best friends had just told him to go away. He zoomed back up the stairs and entered the room, and there was Ron, but no Alexis.
