So I'm back and still writing even though the only reviews that I got were
from Erin and Beth. But that's cool. I'll live. So on to the Ball. This
chapter is going to have some songs in it because I want to put songs in
and I hate songfics so I'm not writing one.
Nobody moved after Headmaster Prevas's announcement so he turned to Draco and Ginny. "Perhaps you will lead us in the dance?"
Draco bowed to Ginny and offered his arm and Ginny took it. They proceeded to the dance floor, where the enchanted boom box that Prevas had gotten started playing period music. Ginny and Draco swept off into a waltz and Beth, Kelly, Erin, and Mike joined them on the dance floor. Soon everyone was dancing and having a good time. Headmaster Prevas stood again and said, "Students! We would like to announce the opening of a karaoke sign up. Anyone can feel free to sign up. You may sing as many songs you want and we will begin in a few minutes."
Ginny and her friends all turned towards the stage to sign up. She was the first on the list. A few minutes passed and the rush dies down. Headmaster Prevas stood again, "Ok. If everyone can please be seated. Let's see first up we have Ginny Weasley singing 'Hit Me with Your Best Shot'."
Ginny went up on stage and transfigured her dress into a pair of tight black pants with a blood red corset top. Her hair was left flowing down her back. She took the mike and began to sing.
You're a real tough cookie
With a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me
That's okay, lets see how you do it
Put up your dukes, let's get down to it
Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire Away
You come on with the come on
You don't fight fair
That's okay, see if I care!
Knock me down, it's all in vain,
I get right back up on my feet again!
Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire Away
You're a real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me
Before I put another notch in my lipstick case
You better make sure you put me in my place!
Hit me with your best shot...
C'mon!
Hit me with your best shot...
Hit me with your best shot,
Fire Away!
Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire Away
Everyone applauded and she went and sat down. Headmaster Prevas got back up and said, "Next up we have Mr. Draco Malfoy singing 'Only the Good Die Young'."
Come out, Virginia. Don't let me wait.
You Catholic girls start much too late,
Oh, but sooner or later, it comes down to fate.
I might as well be the one.
Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray.
They built you a temple and locked you away,
Oh, but they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done.
Only the good die young.
That's what I said
Only the good, die young
Only the good die young
You might've heard I run with a dangerous crowd.
We ain't too pretty. We ain't too proud.
We might be laughing a bit too loud,
Oh, but that never hurt no one.
So come on, Virginia, show me a sign,
Send up a signal. I'll throw you a line.
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
Never lets in the sun,
Darlin' only the good die young
Whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo
I tell ya, only the good die young
Only the good die young
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation.
You got a brand new soul
Mmmmm, and a cross of gold,
But, Virginia, they didn't give you quite enough information.
You didn't count on me
When you were counting on your rosary.
Oh oh ooh
They say there's a heaven for those who will wait.
Some say it's better but I say it ain't.
I'd rather laugh with the sinners then cry with the saints.
The sinners are much more fun,
Ya know that only the good die young
Ho ho ho baby
I tell ya, only the good die young
Only the good die young
You say your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation.
Ohh,she never cared for me,
Did she ever say a prayer for me?
Oh oh ohh
Come out, come out, come out Virginia Don't let me wait.
You Catholic girls start much too late,
But sooner or later, it comes down to fate.
I might as well be the one
Ya know that only the good die young
Tell ya baby
Ya know that only the good die young
Only the good die young
Only the good
Only the good die young
Whoo whoo whoo whoo whooo....
Everyone applauded and Ginny blushed because she knew the song was directed towards her. Then it was The Dream Teams turn. They looked horrible. Hermione was in red flared pants and a red vest. She had a tie-died t- shirt underneath and a headband around her head. She looked like a hippie. Harry had tried for the hippie look too. He was wearing a pair of striped bell bottoms and a blue shirt. Ron had on the same pants but with a green shirt one. Their singing wasn't much better than their outfits.
After them came Erin and Beth. They sang "These Boots Were Made for Walkin'". After that came Ginny and Draco. They were singing 'Love Will Find a Way'. It was a song about how even though their families were different and hated each other they would never stop loving each other.
Ginny: In a perfect world
One we've never known
We would never need to face the world alone
They can have the world
We'll create our own
I may not be brave or strong or smart
But somewhere in my secret heart
I know
Love will find a way
Anywhere I go
I'm home
If you are there beside me
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
Draco: I was so afraid
Now I realize
Love is never wrong
And so it never dies
There's a perfect world
Shining in your eyes
Both: And if only they could feel it too
The happiness I feel with you
They'd know
Love will find a way
Anywhere we go
We're home
If we are there together
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
I know love will find a way
Ginny and Draco sang very well together and some of the audience had tears in their eyes. There were some more songs that were sang but Ginny and Draco didn't stick around to hear them. Draco took her by the hands and led her out of the Hall. They went into one of the class rooms and Ginny sat down on a desk. Draco came and sat down next to her after locking the door.
"Ginny," he said. "You know I like you. A lot. And I want to make sure that everyone knows how much. So I am giving you this." And with that he held out a ring and slid it onto her finger. It was a silver ring with the initials 'DM' on it.
"The Malfoy men get it at birth. When they met someone that they care a lot about they give it to them to show how much they care. I want you to wear it."
Ginny looked up, her eyes filled with tears she was so happy, and flung her arms around Draco's neck. She reached up and kissed him.
"So I guess that was a yes?"
"Yes."
They could hear the music playing in the other room and Draco held his arm out to Ginny and said, "Madam, may I have this dance?"
Ginny got off the desk and wrapped her arms around his neck. Draco wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. They spent the rest of the dance like that.
So there you go guys. Another chapter. Beth....Sex next chapter, I promise (tho no details lol). I love you and miss you! (you too Erin!!!)....SO hope you enjoy....
