Time is a Pretzel: The Circle of Life and Love Chapter 2: The Yule Ball I: The Tortures of Running from Hogwart's Hormone
Crazed Date Hunting Mobs (HHCDHM)
After the elation of the First Task, Harry was no longer ostracized and bad mouthed by the other houses Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw courtesy of his performance and a talk that came from Cedric Diggory, who said that Harry had helped him to his Housemates and Cho Chang to her own in the spirit of fairness and in following her boyfriends example and also some of the Slytherins who saw Harry's skill and power at the 1st task.
Harry was still figuring out the clue from the Golden Egg for the 2nd task. He cringed in memory when he remembered how it went the first time that he opened the Golden Egg. . .
Flashback:
During the celebration party the Griffyndor's prepared for him after the 1st task, he opened the egg when the most frighteningly screeches filled the room, all of them covered their ears in pain. The song or the screeches caused the others students to hazard a guess for the 2nd task. Neville said; "You might be under the Cruciatus!" Parvati replied, "What! That's ridiculous Neville and also illegal." While Seamus said; "Maybe it's your going to fight a Banshee." "Or maybe you'll ambush Percy in the bathroom that noise sound like him singing in the shower." Fred and George intervene. In which Ginny horrified laughingly agreed with the rest of the Griffyndors. While Harry closed the egg, and joined in the festivities which lasted until morning luckily it was the weekend and they were all allowed to sleep in.
End Flashback
So here he was still stuck with how to solve the clue of the Golden Egg, Ron and Hermione are no help since they were also clueless about the sounds that come from the egg. While the Voice/Raine knows about what it was but said that she was only gonna help Harry when he helps himself by preparing himself and learning spells that can help in defending himself and that will help him when he is in danger. So the rest of the month was used up by the Trio in the practice of spells that can attack and at the same time defend themselves, which Harry faithfully practiced. It was after that month that Raine, decided that Harry was magically ready and that as a reward will teach her how to dance for she spied a little last night while the students slept and heard that Dumbledore will hold a Yule ball for Christmas which was actually 4 weeks away.
So the very next day a sleepy Harry, Ron and Hermione were dragged out of their dormitories by the Voice/Raine who brings them to an abandoned classroom and with a fast circuit of the room turned it into a dance gym complete with radio which was playing a waltz and Raine proceeded to take on her physical feminine form which was translucent but solid enough that Harry was able to hold her in his arms for a thank you hug with the Ron and Hermione joining in, although Ron and Harry had spent the first 5 minutes gaping at Raine's beautiful form with Hermione saying; "Your Gorgeous Raine, perfect!" . So with another solid girl in the group Harry and Ron had two partners to learn properly on how to dance and other ball etiquette to please their dates for the ball. They all do this for a week always practicing on the early hours of dawn for 2 hours each day. So on the 7th day after two hours of practice they the Trio went to breakfast while Raine turned the room into normal and said that she will meet Harry after several days for she likes to go off in one of her information gathering jaunts and promptly turned herself into her orb form. And She also reminded them that they had Transfiguration as their first class.
So after breakfast, they the Trio with the other Griffyndors went to their Transfiguration class, which had gone well since Harry had been practicing defensive dueling, which uses a lot of transfiguration spells and charms. This fact earned him 10 points for his house with another 10 points each from Hermione and Ron. During the class the Yule Ball was formally announced by Prof. McGonagall and asked Harry to stay after class, then proceeded to the lesson. After the class, Harry was told by his head of house to get a date for the Yule Ball for it's the tasks of the Champions to start the ball with their dates. So Harry not surprised but a little bit apprehensive about this DATE business went out of the classroom gloomily and headed for his DADA class then to lunch it is.
At lunch time Harry meet with his friends and house mates and sat with Hermione and Ron and Observed that his housemates were all divided into several groups, which seems to be the result of the Professor's announcement at first class period. All the girls were all giggly and being girly while looking diabolically at the male species of the room. The only girls that are acting normally at his own house table were Ginny Weasley, Angelina Johnson, Katie Bell, Hermione Granger, and lastly Alicia Spinnet, who were sitting normally with the Weasley twins, Ron and Lee Jordan. While the rest of boys in his House were sitting in together and edging away from the females that seem to be smirking like predators at them. This phenomenon seems to be being spreading throughout the other houses. Draco Malfoy was also being bothered by the leering eyes of Pansy Parkinson and the other Slytherin girls and is observed by Harry to warily eye his female housemates. Harry seeing this told Ron and Hermione to see Draco's trapped expression and silently laughed the scene. So they happily ate their lunch and decided to go help Harry with this DATE problem first.
It has been 2 weeks since the significant announcement and said weeks are also part of the Christmas Break and the Yule ball was going to be held just on the 4 day of the coming week and still Ron, Hermione, Harry, Seamus, Dean, Neville, Lavendar, Parvati, Fred, George, Angelina, Alicia, Katie, and Lee (since only 4th year onwards were allowed to go to the ball and 3rd to 1st years were only allowed to go when they have a date from the older students.) have no dates while the rest of the house had gotten themselves a date from either their own house or from the ones from the other houses.
And some of them have been subjected to horrendous experiences in hiding from date hunting females or males, especially Harry (Raine seems to be missing so Harry had no voice to guide or help him during the following events.) since he was required to have a date as he is a champion. He had been cornered by hordes of females asking to be his date. When these same females ignored him and jeered at him the past few months before the first task. He was also stalked and chased around the castle by hormonally driven girls, but fortunately or unfortunately he has company in said events, He noticed that during this "Date Hunting Parties" during his times at running away and hiding that he has done for the last 2 weeks and counting nevermind that he still needs to find a date! That he was accompanied by the following groups: From Gryffindor: Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Harry, Seamus, Dean, Neville, Lavendar, Parvati, Fred, George, Angelina, Katie, Alicia and Lee. (with the help from the Creevey Brothers who act as their decoy.) From Hufflepuff: Cedric, Susan, Justin, Ernie, and Hannah. From Ravenclaw: Roger, Cho, Lisa, Mandy, Stephen, Kevin, Padma, Terry, and Luna. From Durmstrang: Krum, from Beuxbatons: Fleur and lastly and surprisingly from Slytherin: Draco, and Blaize. Whom always seems to be gravitated to perform teamwork in the evasion of said Date Hunting mobs by helping each other hide and run faster. During said the shared torture and hilarious events the chases/big game of hide and seek made the stated people above as tentative comrades or as friends in the face of shared experiences of being prey to a hormone crazed boys and girls headed by Pansy, Natalie, Sally Anne, and Eleanor just to name a few girls, While the boys were headed by: Anthony a 5th year Gryffindor, Terence, Morag, and Wayne.
So since they were all being chased by the same crowd, it seems that within the whole group friendly relations formed Draco and The Trio became friends although Harry and Draco bicker as Ron and Hermione do. Blaize became friends with Neville, Ernie, and Justin since they all like Herbology as their favorite subject. Ginny, Luna with Colin and Dennis became a tight nit peers who help each other in surviving Hogwarts as one of the younger sect. Fleur, Krum, Cedric, Cho, Fred, George, Lee, Angelina, Katie, and Alicia became fast friends and had fun pranking the people who chased them as payback. These only some examples of the, said phenomenon of Union of the 4 Houses. Which Dumbledore and the other teachers observed which made them happy and amazed at such a feat.
So on the 2nd day of the said Yule Ball week, and it's Christmas day by the way. And all of them decided to have a group party, exchange gifts and share one table during breakfast since it's Winter Break and they held the group party at the great hall and to the surprise of the others and the faculty all sat at the Gryffindore table. After exchanging gifts and opening them they all went to discuss their common major problem. Draco introducing the most important subject while they were eating and ignoring the other people's reaction to them sitting together said, "Since it's important that Harry, Krum, Cedric and Fleur get a date and since they can't get a date from the Mob thing, then why don't they and we just date each other since we are friends now aren't we? And since it's only 1 day away before the stupid Yule ball." Harry, Cedric, and Krum replied simultaneously "Why, that's a great idea Draco and besides it would solve a few things so how do we pair things up? And we all agree that this ball is stupid." " I know it's stupid it made a half of Hogwarts population into hormone crazed freaks. But that's impossible since there are odd males here including Dennis and Colin and just even females all in all so 3 males will have no date so how can we equalize this?" Hermione stated. "Right, but are Colin and Dennis allowed to go since they are still 2nd and 1st year respectively? And that still leaves us with 2 more boys" Cho intervened. "I know why don't we draw lots. And let the ones who drew blanks names get a date some other way." Roger said to which all of them said yes. So Luna with Ginny prepared the lots and all of them had their lots and the pairs are as follows: Fred – Alicia George –Angelina Lee –Katie Cedric –Cho Krum – Hermione Ron – Luna Draco – Ginny Seamus - Lavendar Justin – Hannah Ernie – Susan Dean – Parvati Neville – Padma Kevin –Mandy Stephen - Lisa Terry –Blaize Harry – Blank
"Oh, dear it seems Harry lucked out. So what do we do now?" Ginny asked. "And what about Harry, he's a Champion too?" Ron asked. "Umm, I may have an idea but it needs fine tuning. So I'll get back to you on that after I convince her to agree to be my date." Harry said. Ron and Hermione seem to get on with his idea and seems to agree with him so the others gave their ok on it too. They finished breakfast and said that they'd meet at Hogsmeade for shopping and lunch tomorrow for last minute shopping as well as for lunch today at the Three Broomsticks since it was safer for them to be moving around in a unit, and since it was more safe for them to go have lunch at the small town to avoid the mobs. So the others stayed and ate while the Trio finished with their breakfast moved out of the great hall and hurried towards Griffindor Tower to seek out Raine/Voice.
