Chapter 4: Halloween Nightmares

Despite the fact that witches and wizards know that Halloween had no evil portents, Charles and Taylor seemed to habit of mixing various solutions in Professor Snape's potions class:

"MR.XAVIER defy the accepted truth. The day they began regular classes was long remembered in Hogwarts lore. Charles seemed to have a!!" Snape bellowed. "What on this good earth are you doing?"

"Just a second!" Charles said from the back of the room. Professor Snape advanced.

"I will no—"

BOOM!

Charles and his lab partner, Neville Longbottom, stood before a smoking and shattered cauldron, hair on end, and soot covering their faces. Snape stood 10 feet away, his skin having gained a grayish tinge from the explosion. Harry began a mental countdown. '3...2...1' POW...

"MR.XAVIER!! Even Longbottom hasn't managed to botch THIS potion, yet somehow you manage to do it on your first try!"

"But...I meant to do that" Charles said Then looked at the glare he was receiving. "But... Didn't you see that! It looked so COOL! And I even got the pink hair!" Neville nervously glanced at Charles.

"P...Pink!?" Neville's voice quivered.

"Yea of course." Charles said as though the thought was the most logical thing in the universe. To prove his point he took some soot out of his hair to reveal a color that could glow in the dark.

Meanwhile in Professor Trelawney's Divination class:

Taylor insisted on correcting Professor Trelawney on each and every prophecy. A slender pointed to Ron.

"MR. WEASLEY! Beware!" Trelawney said mysteriously "You.....will...DIE!!" Ron gulped down.

"Me?!" He said his voice slightly rose. A hand rested on his shoulder.

"Don't worry you'll be 89 when THAT happens" Taylor said. Ron breathed a sigh of relief.

"MR.MATTHEWS! Could you please NOT interrupt me prophecies?" Professor Trelawney said indignantly

"And leave for WORRY himself into an early grave?" Taylor asked a smug grin on his face "And don't tell me I'm gunna die cause we all are eventually" Professor Trelawney looked taken aback.

"Well I shou—"

"Dismiss me from this class?"

"Well...Yes and also I--"

"Should report me to professor Dumbledore?"

"YES....and tell me—"

"How do I manage to complete each sentence you happen to say?' Taylor chuckled "I'm a natural seer"

"Oh..."

"You still want me to leave the class room huh?"

"Yes"

"Ok" Taylor shrugged and shouldered his backpack "Just so you know Charles is coming here next period. I recommend you say bye-bye to your favorite crystal ball" With that said he made his exit leaving Professor Trelawney to wonder.

Unfortunately Taylor's prophecy came true when Charles decided to pour some sort of potion that manages to break the crystal ball.

Although the boys were nightmares in the classroom I was obvious they had become practically every girls dream boy in Hogwarts. Unfortunately both of them were totally uninterested. Not that the girls were going to give up. This as another interesting addition to the Halloween dance.

Girls through out the school were in their finest dress robes prepared to shock both boys with their looks. All arrived on time and awaiting the arrival of the boys. Ron and Harry stood in a corner wearing jeans and shirt. The music was the usual dull ballroom they got stuck with at all dances.

"Thank God Hermione isn't that nuts!" Ron said.

"Where did she go I didn't see her go into the girl's dormitory"

"Oh Fae dragged her off saying that she was going to help Hermione to get ready. I am slightly worried on what she's going to do to my girl..." Ron said trying to figure out what Fae and Hermione were doing. Squeals of surprise came from girls as they saw Charles and Taylor enter. The words visually orgasmic would come to ones mind when they saw both boys. Taylor was wearing Baggy khakis and a tight black t shirt his hair was down, a spiked leash bracelet was around his wrist and pooka shells adorned his neck. Charles left his hair bright pink and wore tight black leather pants and a cropped shirt. He wore a spiked leash on his neck and a thick chain bracelet on his wrist. Both boys were immediately surrounded by girls. Practically walking over them to make it to Harry and Ron.

"Good Gods! Do they have no life?" Taylor muttered under his voice. Charles looked slightly shaken. Harry and Ron chuckled. "Sorry were late"

"OH! By the way! Ron-- Hermione is looking gorgeous!" Charles reported. "They let me do her hair..."

"You did Hermione's hair?!" Ron looked worried. His girlfriend had her hair one by a boy who thought pink hair was "fun" to accidentally get from an explosion.

"Yeah I used to do Fae's but she learned from me to fast"

"oh..."

"See...Here they come..." Taylor said motioning to the door. There entered Fae and Hermione. Hermione was breath taking and Ron could just stare. She wore a hipster khaki skirt that reached just above her knees and an off the shoulder shirt. Her hair was completely straight and a slight tint of gold highlights was on her hair. Besides her was Fae who looked ready to party. She had tight leather flares that had red embroidered dragons down the side and a blood red tank top that clung in just the right places. She had a spiked collar on her neck like Charles as well as a thick chain and a pooka shell bracelet. Ron and Harry stood their speechless as both girls approached them.

"So what do ya think?" Fae asked

"Wow" Harry said, as Ron still remained speechless. He elbowed Ron. The red- head snapped out of it. He gave Hermione a hug and whispered into her ear.

"You look incredible" She blushed.

"So when does the dance really start?" Charles asked now equipped with his partners in crime.

"Um...it is..." Harry responded

"But...." Charles looked crestfallen.

"Don't worry" Fae grinned, whipping out a CD case, Charles practically threw himself on top f her.

"I love you I love you I love you" He said taking the CD case out of her case and running to the boy in charge of music. In a fast undertone, he explained what a CD was, and how to use one with magic. The boy beamed and nodded, taking the CD. Taking out his wand, he cast a quick spell. With a flash of red sparks, all music stopped in the halls giving the impression that somebody cursed the DJ. The CD was floating in the air, spinning on top of a glowing red cloud. Music boomed through the hall. Charles held up a hand and showed three fingers. The DJ nodded and tapped the top of the CD three times. Base and a soft drum beat with a distinct Latin feel filled the hall.

He comes from a foreign place

An Island far away

Intrigues me with every move

Till I'm breathless

I'm helpless

Can't keep my cool.

Fae stood up with a grin THIS was her song. She grabbed Taylor's hand and nodded for Charles to follow. All three stood on the small makeshift Dance floor finding the beat.

Steals My heart when he takes my hand

And we dance to the rhythm of the land

I feel his finger tips grip my hips

As I slip

As we dip into a rare bliss

Students watched in total shock as the new students commenced to dance, hips swinging from side to side in beat with the smooth music. Professor R.A., standing in a corner, had beamed at the use of the CD, and was moving in the slow scintillating motions of a salsa.

Mama used to tell me

Beware of those Latin lovers

I gave my heart to soon

And that's how I became your mother

I say; ay mama you seem to forget

I'm not in love yet

Sweet talk won't win me over

But then I realize

Big Brown eyes can hypnotize

Fae closed her eyes giving her a euphoric look as Taylor gently grabbed her hip and gently pushed her closer to her. She ran her hand through her hair so it could stay out of her face. Charles stood before her. He wore a knowing grin on his face. He knew this was Fae's favorite song.

When he says!

I am full blood BORIQUA

Reads the tattoo on his arm

He tells me mami I need ya!

I can't stand this for to long

As we dance to el ritmo

I say te quiero (te quiero)

I begin to give in with out hesitation

Can't help my infatuation

Draco watched in totals shocked. Was the girl in tight leather, dancing very closely between both boys in public actually the girl he met a week ago? Was it in any way possible? No...right? He cast a glance at Harry And his friends. Hermione looked interested in the dancing and was tapping her foot to the beat of the song. Ron was in absolute shock. If his Jaw could unhinged it would've been on the floor. Harry was looking around and His eyes locked in with Draco. Draco raised an eyebrow in question. Harry shrugged.

Skin the color of Cinnamon

His eyes light up and I melt with in

Feels so good it must be a sin

I can't stop

What I started

I'm giving in

Taylor gave Charles a grin. Charles seemed to enjoy the song almost as much as Fae. Charles gave Taylor a sensuous wink and Taylor blushed in reaction. 'Damn the boy can still make me blush'

He gives life to my fantasies

Sparks a passion inside of me

Finds the words when I can not speak

In the silence his heart beat is music to me

Fae's hand was placed gently on Charles's chest as both boys proceeded to sandwich her in. She opened her eyes to look around. No one else was dancing. She shrugged their loss if they didn't know music like this.

Mama used to tell me

Not to rush love with another

Said I'm not trying to lecture

I just care about my daughter

I said ay mama, You seem to forget

I never will let

A man control my emotions

But when he smiles

I feel just like a little child

Hermione's foot unconsciously tapped lightly to the beat of the music. She had to confess that the music was very good. And well the dancing...She looked at Fae and her friends as they began dancing clothes seemed to be the only things that separated them. She looked around to see other's overall reactions. The slithering girls all glared at Fein distaste. Seamus was starring mischievously at the couple whispering funny comment to His best friend Dean. Dean would chuckle and continue watching. Neville and Ginny were blushing. Draco was silently accepting the fact that Fae was actually the girl dancing between two gorgeous boys. Harry as still in an utter state of confusion. Then there was Ron... If his jaw could unhinge there would be no doubt that it would fall into the deepest depths of hell. She rolled her eyes and closed his mouth for fear that his jaw just MIGHT unhinge if kept open.

When he says!

I am full blood BORIQUA!

Reads the tattoo on his arm

He always tells me mami I need ya!

And my head beat grows as strong

As we dance to el ritmo

He whispers te quiero

Then I give in with out hesitation

Can't help my infatuation!

Fae side stepped out of both boys reach and turned to them and began to sing the words.

Caught between my mama's words and what I feel inside

I just wanna explore his world

A part of me just wants to hide

Should I risk it?

Can't resist it...

This has caught me by surprise!

Should I go with him to Puerto Rico

I can't hold back no more!

Fae spun into Taylor's arms both began dancing in tune with the heavy Latin beat that blasted salsa. Their bodies were in total synchronicity from practice. Both were in perfect step. Spins a dips accompanied the steps. Charles proceeded to get others out to dance. He dragged Ron and Hermione out first and motioned for them to watch and learn the steps Taylor and Fae were doing. The last chorus came up and soon every one was dancing, with or with out a partner.

I am full blood BORIQUA!

Reads the tattoo on his arm

He's always saying mami I need ya!

And My heart beat grows strong

As we dance to el ritmo

He whispers te quiero

Ands soon I give in with out hesitation to my infatuation!

The song ended quickly after leaving the students riled up but with nothing to do. Charles and Summers grinned and nodded agreeably. Both stepped on to the front and the students watched excitedly what the transfer students were going to do. A chorus of women's voices filled the air.

"Hey sister go sister so sister flow sister

Hey sister go sister so sister flow sister"

Students tapped to the beat as they watched what was going on.

Fae summoned a microphone as Charles summoned a chair. Fae began.

He met Marmalade down at ol' Moulin rouge

Strutting her stuff on the street

She said hello Joe you wanna give it a go OH!

Taylor let out a chuckle. Man was the student body in for a surprise. By this time Fae was in front of Charles who goofily sat in a chair he summoned. She stood before him.

And began the coordinated move. Charles's hand met Fae's hip in a lusty grip.

Gitchy Gitchy yaya dada!

Gitchy Gitchy yaya he!

Mocha choca lata yaya

Creole Lady Marmalade

Fae's hip swerved as she made a move that eventually had her straddling Charles's lap.

Voulez vous coucher avec moi

Ce soir!

Voulez vous coucher avec moi.

The student body was in shock. Charles and Fae might as well have been having sex with clothes on; well actually that's what they DID look like they were.

The crowd was so enthralled at Charles's and Fae's performance that none noticed the sudden dazed-out look Taylor had. That is, before all the lights and music in the Great Hall snapped off. Taylor's body took an unearthly glow and students backed away as his body began to spasm uncontrollably. His arms thrashed and clawed at unseen enemies and himself. His eyes gave chills. There was no iris or visible pupil; his eyes were a pure white. Charles and Fae pushed through the crowds to hold Taylor's arms, preventing any damage. Rowan-Avalon held back the other students, realizing Charles and Fae knew more about this tan she did. Sprout, who was also chaperoning, ran to the teacher meeting. Charles whispered comforting word into Taylor's ear.

"Come one Taylor, I know you can hear me, come back to me, I know you're in there somewhere." Taylor's body slowly ceased to shake. He began to speak but in a voice not his own. It was cold, dead, and eerie and it seemed to engulf the whole Great Hall.

"Beware of the Dark Lord...No one is safe, but there is still hope—The chosen heir to be the next Dark Lord has a choice as well as those preparing do... The power of three will save us from him. The seer, The clairvoyant and the survivor. But the power of many will destroy all evil... Fate will not help, only actions will... Actions will determine fate." With that Taylor collapsed in a pile of limps. Rowan-Avalon rushed to him and gave him a slight examination. Charles stepped behind tears brimming.

"He seems to be alright, Just out of it" Angela reassured. She summoned a stretcher. "You two take him to the infirmary." She said motioning to Charles and Fae.

Charles and Fae were on their way towards the infirmary when they met up with the Professor's running towards the Great Hall.

"Well then I guess I lost the pool...It wasn't Potter." Snape whispered a hint of amusement in his voice. Professor McGonagall gave him a glare.

"Professor Rowan-Avalon told us to take him to Madam Pomfrey," Fae said her voice filled with worry for her friend's condition.

"I will take him to the infirmary... Professor's, please make sure your students get to their house common rooms" Dumbledore said. All professors left except McGonagall. "And you two should please do the same." Fae nodded and was about to leave, wrapping her arm around Charles's.

"No... I won't go." Charles said breaking free of Fae and gripping Taylor's hand. Dumbledore gave McGonagall a nod. She nodded in return and left. He fixed his intense blue gaze on Charles.

"I realize you have a very special friendship, Charles—"

"It's more than just a friendship."

"—and so I will allow you to stay in the infirmary for a short while."

Charles looked up at Dumbledore with tears in his eyes. "Thank you, sir." Fae gave Charles a reassuring hug before leaving.

"Take good care of him..." She whispered into his ear. He nodded, tears finally spilling over.
