"Oh, Adianna, you look beautiful."
"You do too, Sam, and you too Rebecca." The three friends headed down the stairs from their dormitories to the common room. Their ankle length dresses shimmered in the light as they headed down the hallway towards the Great Hall for the annual Christmas dance.
"Oh, Adianna, look! There's Nick!"
"I thought you were over him, Adi?" Sam put her hands on her hips and starred at her friend.
"Yeah, and I thought you were over Daniel, but it doesn't seem that way." Rebecca teased her blonde friend.
"I am."
"Well, he's not over you because here he comes right now." Sam wheeled around to see her former crush walking towards her.
"Oh, God! Does my hair look okay? What about my face?"
"You look fine."
Daniel walked up behind her and tapped her shoulder. "Why, hello Dan. How are you?"
"I'm fine. You look beautiful. Would you like to dance?" Sam's face was all- aglow as she and Daniel walked to the middle of the floor to dance.
"Well, it seems she's gone for the rest of the evening. So, have you figured out your problem yet?"
"Which one?" Adianna and Rebecca headed towards the punch bowl. The each got a glass and sat down at one of the small tables in the corner.
"Have you found out who your father is yet?" Rebecca took a sip of her punch, but missed her mouth and the red liquid ran down the front of her white dress. "Oh shit. I just ruined my new dress.and I don't have my wand with me!"
"Here." Adianna handed her friend her blue shawl. "It's blue, but it will hide the stain. I'm sure it will come off once you have your wand."
"Thanks." She wrapped the shawl around her shoulders. "So, have you?"
"No. My mother won't tell me anything. She says she'd rather forget about him all together. The only thing I know is that she went to school with him and they got pregnant with me in their seventh year."
"Geez, you're mum doesn't seem the type of girl who would do something like that when they're so young. Is that all? You should ask her more questions, you know like a twenty questions game or something."
"Ha! That's not a bad idea, but I'm sure she won't answer them. Oh, I also know that he was on the quidditch house team."
"Well, that narrows it down a lot. I mean how many people were on the quidditch team that are the same age as your mum? I bet you could narrow it done to a few guys."
"Hey, you're right. I'll try that tomorrow." The two girls sat in silence for quite sometime before a seventh year Ravenclaw asked Rebecca to dance. She left Adianna all alone. But she wasn't alone for long. Soon, a tall someone came over to talk with her.
"Hey Adianna. You look lonely over here." Nick sat down next to her. She tried hard not to blush. "Where are Sam and Rebecca?"
"They are dancing with those guys over there." She gestured towards the dance floor.
"Adianna, look at me." Nick took a hold of her hand as she turned her full attention to his green eyes. "I've never noticed what color eyes you have, and now that I look at them, they look extremely familiar. They look just like.mine! You're eyes are shaped and colored the same as mine."
"You're right. That's really strange. I wonder how." she looked deeper in his eyes. She felt her insides melting as he started rubbing her hand with his thumb. The upbeat music that was playing slowed down to a slow dancing song.
"Do you want to dance?" Nick turned his head to the floor, trying hard to keep his cheeks from turning the deep crimson that they were. Adianna nodded and pulled herself up using his help. The two walked to the dance floor and stood close together, closer then they have ever been.

Hermione hurried down the hall towards Professor Dumbledore's office. Her armful of papers was no help. She would drop a few here and there and have to stop to pick them up.
"Professor Granger."
"Severus, you scared me." She scooped down to pick up a few dropped papers as she ran into her former and fellow professor.
"Here, let me help you." Severus took out his wand from hidden pockets in his robes and flicked it in the air. A puff of green light came from it and in an instant, Hermione's papers were neatly stacked in a pile so they wouldn't fly apart from each other.
"Thank you, now if you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting with Albus."
"Do you have just one moment? I need to speak to you about your daughter." Hermione stopped dead in her tracks.
"Why? Has she done anything wrong?"
"Why don't we step inside my office right here? It will just take a quick second." He led Hermione into his darkened office. She sat down in a chair in front of his desk.
"First of all, I was just in the Great Hall, checking on the dance, when I saw her dancing with Mister Potter. Now, I know your secret, so there's no reason to get angry with me, but I'm not so sure you want her to fall in love with this boy."
"I understand, Severus, and I'm not angry. You're absolutely correct. I had no idea that she was falling for him. We don't even know if she is, just because she's dancing with him doesn't mean she will love him-"
"Hermione, you have to just assume."
"You're right. I can't fool myself. I just hope she doesn't figure out they have the same father."
"But you have to tell her before it goes to far. If they fall in love then you tell her, well, things could get messy."
"Right. I'll tell her tomorrow. Is that all, Severus? I'm late for my meeting with Albus."
"Yes." The two stood and bid their goodbyes and Hermione continued on her way.
~~~~*~~~~
After her meeting with the head master, Hermione headed back towards the professors' quarters. She turned the corner and bumped into someone. She lifted her head and starred at the person she came into contact with.
"Hello Hermione."
"Hello Harry."
