Chapter 7:
Harry woke up the next morning to find out that he had not even changed out of his robes that night, being so tired from his detention. ( Professor Snape absolutely had refused to let him leave until he was completely finished whith his essay, and by that time, it was already eleven thirty at night, ) Harry groggily put his glasses on, he stood up, feeling rather happy that he didn't have to change, he felt his scar give a nasty throb, Harry walked over to his bed-side desk and sat down. "If Voldemorts gone," he asked himself. "Than why dose my scar keep hurting?" Harry made a move to reach his hand up to his scar, but something attracted his attention, there was a note pinned to his desk, Harry reached over and picked it up.
Dear harry, I do believe you were at detention with professor Snape last night, if so, I don't believe that you heard the announcement that I made last night: We are going to have a ball in the great hall in one month, ( In honor of Professor Mcgonagall, ) She, being the only person besides myself to have been at hogwarts for over twenty years, Students must make all haste to have a partner by that time. With the deepest respect Professor Dumbledore
Harry's stomach gave a nervous twitch, A ball? In one month!? Harry remembered only to well getting refused by Cho, not that he was going to ask her this time, it was still the same fact though, Harry gave a glance at his clock, noticing that he only had half an our to eat breakfast, get his books, and go all the way to the transfiguration class room, darted down star's to maybe scarf down a bite to eat. When he had finally reached the great hall, he noticed that there was a lot more chatter than usual, Harry soon figured out why, "what do you think I should where to the ball?" Harry heard Parvati and Lavender say to each other, "oh Harry, there you are," Harry turned around to see Ron siting at the table, "I thought Snape had murdered you or something . . ." "Oh hello Harry!" Harry turned sharply around to see Alexandria standing in front of him, "hello," she said again, "I hope Snape wasn't to hard on you," "Don't worry about it," said Harry, as he felt his face go red, "well anyway," she said cheerfully, "who are you thinking of asking to the ball?" Ron raised his eyebrows at Harry, "I don't think I've decided yet," said Harry loudly, noticing that several girls had suddenly gone quiet. "Look Harry, the mail's here!" Harry wasn't surprised to see that Hedwig didn't have anything for him, Sirius, being his only corespondent at Hogwarts, and Harry knew for a fact that he was dead. Harry heard Alexandria give a squeal of delight, as an owl dropped a large parcel into her hands, "come look at this!" Harry heard her shout to one of her friends, "look at this Harry!" she squealed. Harry turned around to see Alexandria holding what looked like a medium sized crystal ball, "watch this!" she said excitedly as she sat down illegally, "watch this!" she said again, and tapped the crystal ball with her wand, paused thoughtfully for a moment, then said in a clear voice "Draco Malfoy!" Harry gasped in surprise as Draco Malfoys face appeared in the crystal ball, the face seemed to be entertaining a small crowd of people, Harry looked over at the Slytherin table, Where Draco Malfoy was siting, he was busy entertaining a crowd of fellow Slytherins, "you see," said Alexandria, "this - " she motioned towards the crystal ball, "is what you call a Draryim, it finds the person that your talking about and puts a moving picture of them in it! And the good thing is, is that the moving picture that it puts in itself, is exactly what there actually doing! It's almost like a pair of binoculars that can find anything that you want," Harry made a mental note never to go to the bathroom unless he was positive that Alexandria was in class.
