Chapter 9
The Halloween Ball
It was only a week before the Halloween Ball would take place, everyone was so excited, especially Ron. Harry had been pushing Ron to ask Evie out to the ball ever since Dumbledore had made the announcement two weeks prior ot the ball. "Come on Ron, just go for it." Harry whispered to him, as he pushed him to Evie.
"I can't....What if her brother kills me? What if she says no?" Harry rolled his eyes.
"Please, she won't say that...Besides, I think she likes you too."
"Really?"
"Oh yeah." Harry said convincingly in Ron's ear. Ron straightened up and walked over to Evie. Evie was laying down on the floor near the fireplace writing a note to Sarah. Her Red/brown hair shown like silk from the fire's light, and her gold head band that she wore all the time shown like diamonds...Evie looked like an Egytian Goddess. Ray was also sitting near Evie, which scared Ron a bit. Ray looked exactly like Evie, but taller,and his muscles scared Ron. Ron himself had gotten taller and because of Quiditch he too had gotten some muscles. Ron walked over and sat down next to Evie. "Hey Evie" Evie looked up and smiled.
"Oh, Hi Ron. How are ya?" Ron shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm fine, but err- I was umm wondering-"
"No." Ray's voice cut in. "She's not going." Ray stood up and glared down at Ron who about fainted. But a smile played across Ray's face. "Not unless you let me go with your sister, Ginny." Ron now stood up and glared at Ray, but he sighed and looked at Ray with a bit of admiration.
"That's up to Ginny if she'll go with you...I don't have a problem with it, but I dunno if she will." just then Ginny appered from behinde Ron with her big smile.
"Hi guys, hey Evie!" Ginny said, and Ray looked at Ron with a look of 'oh please, oh please, OH PLEASE!!!!' Ron tapped Ginny on the shoulder.
"Hey Gin, I have a question, If Ray asked you to the ball, would you go with him?" Ginny looked stunnded by the question, and she laughed.
"Of course I would why?" Ray smiled and jumped up to Ginny.
"Because I really like you, and wanted to know if you would go with me." Ray looked so desperate and it made his own sister laugh and stand up. She took the note she was writing rolled it up and slid it through the riddon around Videll's neck who had been sitting infront of Evie the entire time. Videll meowed and scammpered off. now Evie walked over to Ron.
"I guess I'll see you at the Halloween Ball." Ron when red.
"Umm yeah sure." His voice was a little higher than normal, but he was happy. Ginny laughed and she too spoke.
"Now all we have to do is get those other two to get together."
"Who?" Ray asked
"Harry and Hermione, who else?" ginny said with a smile on her face, and a smile was seen on everyone's face, but there was a frown on Evie's
"I dunno, Sarah was really hoping to go with Harry." She said looking at the floor, but everyone looked at her.
"Do what?" Ginny asked, looking at Evie bewildered. "That's impossible, a Gryfindor with a Slytherin?" Evie shrugged.
"Sorry, I can tell her no, and that she can go with Draco, he was her second option....See." She pulled out a note that was from Sarah, which was why Videll was in the common room. The note read:
Hey Evie!
Listen I have some really crazy news. Ok you know that
Move you taught me when you're on the ground and you get kicked?
Well I did it to Pasny Parkinson...LoL! See if i ever corn row her hair
again!
OMGsh! did you hear about the Halloween Ball?! I have no idea on what to

isn't going with
Hermione Granger...But if he is i'll go with Draco...it's what my uncle
would want anyway.
Grrrr. *grabs a sledge hammer and pounds him to the ground, into a pancake*
Well I better get, gots lots of homework to do! Holla!
Sarah.
Ron finished reading the note along with everyone else. None of them could believe it, Sarah wanted to go with Harry.
--------------------------
The next morning everyone was admited to go to Hogsmead to buy their things. Dumbledore had let it pass for this trip, so even the 1st and 2nd years could go and get thier robes or gowns. This ball was allowing every year to come, and no class could be more excited but the 1st years.
The newly formed sextet walked down the streets of Hogsmead in harmony, Sarah was to join them in Hogs Head so she, and the other girls could go buy their gowns and masquarade masks and anything else they wanted. When they got to Hog's Head Sarah was already there waiting, and she was wearing her yellow coat a pair of blue jeens and a pink Billabong longsleeve shirt. Her hair which was normally down minus Potions class, was up in a ponytail, curled with the same charm she used at the welcome feast. The Group walked over to Sarah who was just reciving a bottled water called 'Madame Hicks's Purified Water' the labe had said it would regenerize your energy and make you feel as good as new, but in the end Sarah had told them it tasted just like normal muggle water.
the Seven of them sat at a table and ate some lunch. Evie, Sarah and Ray, all being american had the closest thing to cheeseburgers they could get. While Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny had 'Whitches' Pie' which is like pizza but with less grease and better taste. When they were done eating, they all split up. The girls went to thier stores, while the guys went to thier's.
------------------------
The Girls went to one of Madame Maxine's shops and there they bought their dresses. Hermione picked out a lovely gold and navy dress that went beautifully with her brown curly hair. Sarah had taught Hermione the 'Hair Charm'. Hermione's dress was gold, with a long terrain, and a large navy flower that held the terrain to the dress. It was V-neck and the entire gown was trimmed with navy silk.
Ginny's gown was much like Hermione's but with many differences. It was a light purple with white lace trimming. The gown was victorian style, and it had no terrian that followed. The top part of the gown was almost turtle- neck like that opened in the front with white lace and a lavender ribbon that criss crossed. A white silk ribbion went around her lower waist and in the back was a huge bow that hung down the two ribbion strands dangling only an inch from the floor, and the end of her gown that just barely trailed the ground was also trimmed in white lace.
Evie did buy a gown but she had her's specially made. She got a red gown with angle sleeves, that was trimmed in gold. The gown was simple and Evie had so many Egytian acessories at the school she just got the simple gown and was done. And on the edge of where her clavicle would be, on the dress was the crest of her family, which Hermione and Ginny soon found out was royalty. Sarah found this amusing that Evie had never even mentioned her royalty or the fact that she was the little step-sister of Emma Gryffindor.
Sarah's dress was different. It was solid white, and it just like Evie's had angel sleeves. The top part was like Ginny's but with out the lace opening, it just had a thin ivory green ribbion that criss crossed in the front and ended at her lower waist line in a little flower. The sleves had ivory green silk trimming and the end of her dress had ivory green silk trimming, her lower waist too had the silk trimming that V'ed downward in the front and ended in the little flower that ended the crisscross in the front. The gown didn't have a terrian but the back did trail behide her.
When the girls were done choosing their gowns they had them packed in boxes and they walked out off to find a mask. Hermione found one that was navy- just navy. Ginny's mask was lavender with little pearls around it. Evie's mask was gold with an even darker gold trimming, and Sarah's mask was white, and made of tiny swan feathers. The decided not to get jewlry since between Sarah and Evie they could open a store, so they decided to use the jewlry that Sarah and Evie had, who graciously offered to let Hermione and Ginny to use it. When they were satisfied they left and headed back to the Hogs Head to meet up with the boys.
"Oh Ginny, my fool of a brother is so going to faint like the royal pain he is!" Evie joked to Ginny on the way back, and Ginny blushed. Sarah was smiling, she was starting to get second thoughts about having to kill Harry, his friends alone were enough to make her not want to do anything that involed her Uncle.
------------------------
The day of the Halloween Ball arrived all to slow for the school. Everyone was all jittery and the girls were nuts always running up and down the stairs to talk and to do their hair, and anything else. Hermione who was Head Girl had spoken to Dumbledore with Sarah about letting her go to the Gryffindor tower and helping the girls get ready and letting Sarah hang out with them. Hermione had figured it be better if Sarah came to the Gryffindor tower than Ginny, Evie and herself going to the Slytherin dungons. Dumbledore agree with Hermione and gave Sarah admitance to the Gryffindor tower whenever she pleased. Sarah who was thrilled made and act without even thinking, she gave Proffessor Dumbledore a hug.
--------------------------
Up in the Girl's domitories in the Gryffindor Tower, the four girls were panikly getting ready. Sarah helped Hermione and the others with thier hair. Sarah looked at the gown and then at their head, and then with a wave her wand and her eyes shut tight, each girls hair changed. Hermione's hair became spiral curled and thin strands of her hair was pulled back into a little pin with a navy flower on it. Sarah made Ginny's hair french- braided with purple ribbions running through the braid. Sarah didn't bother with Evie's hair, for she already knew that she would want her hair down for the most part. Evie's hair turned out to be partly up, half of her hair was in a bun with random strands of hair layed out on the side, and don't forget her gold head band which wrapped around her head. Sarah's hair was just like Hermione's but straight and with a diamond pin, that had about 5 thin white ribbons hanging.
When thier hair was done, they put on their gowns and picked out thier jewlery. Hermione picked out a simple silver chain that wrapped around her neck losely with a silver flower in the center-complements of Evie. Ginny choose a peice out of Sarah's it was a long pearl necklace that ended at her waist, Sarah tied it at the end losley, careful not to tear the string that held it together, giving it a nice touch. Evie wore her most special peice which was like a gold band that clung to her neck with red rubies and green emerald encrusted. Sarah choose her favorite peice which belong to her Grandmother and was passed down to her, the peice was very old, and still looked like new. It was a silver chain with a large diamond heart that said love in white curvy letters. When thier jewlrey was choosen, Sarah pulled the girls a side and did their make up, with the help of Hermione, who choose the colors. When they were done they went down to the common room where Ron, Ray, and Harry were waiting, Draco was going to meet Sarah outside the Great Hall.
When the Girls walked down with thier masks in hand they curtsied to their date, all but Hermione and Sarah curtsied. Harry looked at Hermione and his heart skipped a beat, he walked to her and he smiled. "Herm, may I have the honor of taking you to the Halloween Ball?" Hermione blushed and nodded her head. Then Harry turned to Sarah. "And Miss. Riddle, may I have the honor of escorting you to the ball?" Sarah smiled and curtsied.
"Why of course." Sarah walked forward and took Harry's left arm, his right ocupied by Hermoine. Ray held out his hand for Ginny, Ron held out his hand for Evie. Now that they were all hand in hand they walked out of the common room, but first let the girls put on thier mask, and they put on thiers.
Harry wore a deep green robe trimmed in silver and his mask was the same color as his robe, Sarah had given him some contacts early that morning...Harry and Sarah both thought it erie that they both had the same eye count. Ron wore a deep scarlet robe with little white star trim, and his mask was scarlet with white star print. Ray's robe was white with gold trim and his mask was gold.
------------------------
As the seven of them walked down to the Great Hall they ran into Pansy, who had no idea who they were, and accually complemented the girls on their dress, they said thankyou and when they were out of sight laughed. The Great Hall was greatly decorated with the normal floating pumpkins, there was a long table set off to the side full of refreshments, and there was a band, it was an American witch band called The Poison Polyjuice. There was also banners and streamers, and the ghost were flying around. The seven of them stood in aww at the sight, and Evie and Sarah made stiffled squeals of delight when they saw Poison Polyjuce on stage. Draco was only feet away from them, and he was looking around in search of Sarah. Sarah thanked Harry for escorting her and she walked over to Draco who walked with linked arms into the Great Hall.
"Tonight is the night you strike, is it not?" Draco mummbled to Sarah.
"Yes, but I don't feel like going through with it." Sarah said as she hung her head, and Draco looked at her, and to make it seem less suspisious he started to dance with her- it was a slow song.
"Why in the world not?"
"I just don't know, I feel like I would lose something." Draco pulled her closer.
"You have to!"
"but-" She couldn't finish Draco had kissed her in order to keep her quiet.
-----------------------
Ron walked wtih Evie to a nearby table and pulled out a chair for Evie, Harry did the same for Hermione, and Ray for Ginny. "Oh my god." Evie said and she pointed to SArah and Draco who were kissing.
"I swear if he does anything bad to hurt her, I 'll kill him!" Ray said dangerously, Sarah to Ray was like a little sister.
"Ray...Leave it be." Evie said looking at her brother, they both knew what tonight ment for Sarah...Death and loss. Ray nodded his head and looked back at Ginny who was eyeing him curiously. Evie continued to whatch Sarah and Draco, she noticed Sarah was pushing away from Draco. When she got free of his grip she walked over to the table.
"Hey guys." Sarah said.
"Enjoy yourself?" Harry asked.
"No." Sarah replied, Harry laughed. "Hey umm Harry, can I have a word with you?" Sarah asked and harry nodded yes. "Good we'll dance and talk...You don't mind do you Hermione?" Hermione shook her head no.
"No, of course not Sarah." Sarah smiled and mouthed thank you to her and walked out to the floor with Harry.
As the two began to dance Sarah looked around nervously, and Harry noticed. "Sarah what's wrong? You look really scared."
"If someone hears me I should be scared." Harry looked at Sarah strangly.
"Tell me what's wrong." Harry persisted, Sarah bit her lower lip.
"Harry, I need to tell you the truth about me...About me and you, all of us! Evie, Ray, me..." Harry raised an eyebrow at her. "I-I- AGRH!" Sarah screamed as she clapsed one hand on her forehead and the other on her stomach. A horrifying pain surged through her boddy, and her headed pounded and a voice filled her ears.
"You little brat! Keep your mouth shut, don't get soft on me!!! You know the consequences!" It was Voldemort. Everyone in the hall stopped and looked at the scene. Evie jumped from her chair and so did Ray and the others, and they rushed to Sarah who was gasping for air. She was paler than normal and her mask had fallen off, The Poison Polyjuce had stopped playing. Harry was on his knees next to Sarah who fell into his arms exsausted by the pain she had passed out. Evie rushed to her side and picked up her mask. "Ray!" She shouted. "Help Harry!" Draco who had seen Sarah out cold rushed to her side and picked her up in his arms with out even thinking he told them to follow him outside, so Sarah could get some fresh air. As they walked Evie stole glances at Ray who looked back at her just as scared. Evie finally got the nerve and pull Ray from the others. "i just need a word with him." She glared at Ray. "Ray, she tried to tell Harry the truth."
"What?" Ray asked stunned
"She tried to tell him everything, that's the only way she could have passed out the way she had. he knows...and sooner or later he's going to awaken her and have her attack Harry. Ray I don't think she wants to go through with it." Ray took in a deep breath and thought everything over in his head.
"The plan has fallen apart..." His voice trailed away and Evie nodded her head.
"Let's go before they get suspicious." Evie said and started to walk outside, Ray following behide her.
When they got out with the others Sarah was still out cold on Draco's arms. They could hear his angry voice as well. "It's all your fault Potter! If it wasn't for you she wouldn't be in this mess!"
"My fault?" Harry shouted.
"Yes, your's!" Draco sneered back.
"It's no one's fault." Evie said as she walked up. "This use to happen alot to Sarah...I think it's the stress put on her by her whole family." Hermione and Ginny looked at her.
"Are you sure?" Hermione asked. "She's probally the first Slytherin I've ever wanted to be around...i feel like she belongs with us...Like..." Her voice trailed and Ginny's took toll.
"She belongs with us..." Ginny looked at the ground and Ray walked to her side and put his arms around her. Draco sneered.
"What, you all think she needs to be a Gryffindor?" He laughed "Impossible, she's the descendent of Salazar Slytherin! She has to be in Slytherin." Ron glared.
"Just becasue she has slytherin blood running through her viens, doesn't mean her heart wants to be somewhere else!" Evie looked at Ron with admiration, and she smiled.
'good job love.' she thought to herlself. Evie walked over to him and kissed him on the cheeck, and she whispered in his ear. "You're very brave." Ron looked at her strangly and Evie walked over to Sarah. "could you lay her on the ground Draco...Oh please a little snow wont kill her!" She smirked as Draco looked a the snow ridden ground, but he layed her down all the same. Evie walked over to Sarah and she placed a hand on her chest and the other on her forehead, then she said "La tut amware, La tut amware- AWAKE!" ((he he compliments of chapie 5)) Sarah's eyes flashed open in confussion and she grabbed her forehead in fear that the skin would fall off. Her head felt dizzy and light. Draco rushed to her and held her in his arms. "Oh Sarah, you're alright! Let's get you out of the cold and down to the dungons, back to your room" Sarah wobbly nodded her head, and Draco helped her up, her knees were shaky and her steps were crooked. When the couple was out of sight The Sextet walked back inside. For about 15 minuets the sat there in silence, and then they got up knowing that Sarah would want them to have fun. Evie stayed in her seat, and Ron stayed with her.
"Are you okay?" He asked as he took a seat next to her. Evie looked up.
"Yes I'm fine." her voice was propper but faint to understand. Ron pulled Evie's chair closer to his and he wrapped his arms around her delicatly.
"I know you were scared...But you don't need to worry now..." His voice trailed and then he whispered in her ear. "Because I'm here to keep you safe and warm." Evie looked at him and smiled played across her face, before she knew it Ron had leaned in for a kiss. Evie wished that they could stay this way, but in vain. The kiss was short, yet time consuming at the same time.
"Wha-what was that for?" Evie asked.
"I felt like kissing you, that's what that was for." Ron smiled, his arms softly laying on Evie's shoulders.
-------------------------
Meanwhile Sarah had just made it to the Dungouns, Draco practically holding her up. "What happened?" He asked as she layed down on the black leather sofa that was infront of the fire.
"Nothing Draco." she murmmered. Draco didn't belive her. He walked over to the sofa and kneeled infront of it.
"Something's wrong and you're not telling me." Sarah looked at Draco, and her eyes began to water.
"OH Draco!" She lunged at him and wrapped her arms around him, he fell back and sat there with Sarah held tightly in his arms, and he in hers. "i don't wanna go through with this!" She cried into his black robe. Draco tilted her head up.
"Why? You're the Grand Neice of The Dark Lord, and he has asked you to preform a task for him. you should be honored and willing to do it." He smiled at her.
"Draco if you only knew!"
"knew what Sarah? You don't ever talk to me!" Sarah turned away, her hands folded in her lap. "Sorry I yelled." Draco said removing a hand from Sarah's shoulder and running it through his blond hair.
"It's alright...I wouldn't blame you..." Her voice was soft and quiet. "I barely ever talk to people...other than Ray and Evie...plus my American friend Riley, who's a muggle." Draco was taken aback when he hear Sarah mention that she had a muggle friend.
"Sarah, your purpose in life has been to serve for the Dark Lord." Sarah shook her head no.
"No Draco, you're wrong...I've spent my whole life training to kill, training to be the succsesor of Voldemort." Draco didn't wince unlike most. "Why do you think I'm so pale? I've never been outside for more than an hour I've been to busy training with American Death Eaters." She looked up at Draco gloom in her eyes.
"I had no idea Sarah." Draco said softly as he pulled her close to him. He inhaled her sweet perfume and ran his fingers through her black hair. "i only knew you were here to kill Potter, not become The Dark Lord's succsesor as well." Draco murmmered.
"Yep, and I still don't know who I have to marry...I'm betroved to whom ever my uncle chooses." Draco smiled.
"And you know what Sarah?" Draco asked. "That boy your to marry, will probally be me." Sarah looked up at him.
"Well at least it's you than anyone else here. I was begining to worry I'd have to marry Blaise." She smiled, a simple joke. Draco smiled too, and he huged her tighter. "Draco?"
"Yes?" he murmmered into her hair.
"Take me on a broom ride." she said as she looked at him, with pure egarness in her eyes. Draco smiled at her.
"Wait here." he got up and ran to his room. Sarah stood up and brushed the front of her white gown and sighed. She whatched the steps waiting for Draco to apper, and he did after a good 3 minuets with his broom in hand. Sarah smiled and waited for Draco at the exit, there she took his hand and they made thier way to the Great Hall.
When the coast was clear outside, Draco mounted his broom and Sarah climed on infront of him, both of her legs on the same side of the broom. "Ready?" Draco asked his breath visable in the air. Sarah nodded yes, and Draco kicked off from the ground and into the air. Sarah wrapped her arms around Draco as they flew over the lake.
"Thank you." She said.
"For what?"
"For taking me on this broom ride."Sarah said plainly.
"For you, I can do anything." Draco whispered in her ear, then he stopped the broom and they hovered there and looked at each other. Draco took Sarah's face in his hands and leaned her to him for a kiss, while Sarah pulled him closer at the same time. They sat their kissing and a heat rose through Sarah's body, heat rose through Draco's as well. Draco steered the broom to the Forrbiden Forest and landed. When he was off he led Sarah to the very edge of it. There he pinned her to a tree and kissed her tenderly. when he broke from the kiss he smiled. "We don't want to get caught snooging up in the air." Sarah giggled and she pushed him into the woods, kissing him as well. They stood in the forest showing their passion in the kisses they shared. Draco had sudden urges to strip Sarah of her cloths, but thought better of it and showed her respect by not doing so. "We have got to get back." Sarah said after about 15 minuets of kissing almost nonstop with Draco. he kissed her again.
"Aww I don't wanna!" Kisses again. Sarah pushed him away.
"If you want to make out with me sooo bad." She smirked "Then meet me at Moaning Myrtle's bathroom Sunday after your practice." She smiled. "I'm going to take you to the Chamber." Draco's eyes went wide. All his live he had wanted to go into the Chamber and tomarrow he would.
"Alright then." Draco smiled and mounted his broom. "Get on." Sarah smirked again and got on, when she was ready she kissed Draco, when she pulled away she stopped, their noses touching.
"Fly me away." She murmmered. Draco kissed her back and kicked off from the ground.

Chapter 9
The Halloween Ball
It was only a week before the Halloween Ball would take place, everyone was so excited, especially Ron. Harry had been pushing Ron to ask Evie out to the ball ever since Dumbledore had made the announcement two weeks prior ot the ball. "Come on Ron, just go for it." Harry whispered to him, as he pushed him to Evie.
"I can't....What if her brother kills me? What if she says no?" Harry rolled his eyes.
"Please, she won't say that...Besides, I think she likes you too."
"Really?"
"Oh yeah." Harry said convincingly in Ron's ear. Ron straightened up and walked over to Evie. Evie was laying down on the floor near the fireplace writing a note to Sarah.

Ron himself had gotten taller and because of Quiditch he too had gotten some muscles. Ron walked over and sat down next to Evie. "Hey Evie" Evie looked up and smiled.

Videll meowed and scammpered off. now Evie walked over to Ron.
"I guess I'll see you at the Halloween Ball." Ron when red.
"Umm yeah sure." His voice was a little higher than normal, but he was happy. Ginny laughed and she too spoke.
"Now all we have to do is get those other two to get together."

"Harry and Hermione, who else?" ginny said with a smile on her face, and a smile was seen on everyone's face, but there was a frown on Evie's
"I dunno, Sarah was really hoping to go with Harry." She said looking at the floor, but everyone looked at her.
"Do what?" Ginny asked, looking at Evie bewildered. "That's impossible, a Gryfindor with a Slytherin?" Evie shrugged.
"Sorry, I can tell her no, and that she can go with Draco, he was her second option....See." She pulled out a note that was from Sarah, which was why Videll was in the common room. The note read:

Sarah found this amusing that Evie had never even mentioned her royalty or the fact that she was the little step-sister of Emma Gryffindor.
Sarah's dress was different. It was solid white, and it just like Evie's had angel sleeves. The top part was like Ginny's but with out the lace opening, it just had a thin ivory green ribbion that criss crossed in the front and ended at her lower waist line in a little flower. The sleves had ivory green silk trimming and the end of her dress had ivory green silk trimming, her lower waist too had the silk trimming that V'ed downward in the front and ended in the little flower that ended the crisscross in the front. The gown didn't have a terrian but the back did trail behide her.
When the girls were done choosing their gowns they had them packed in boxes and they walked out off to find a mask. Hermione found one that was navy- just navy. Ginny's mask was lavender with little pearls around it. Evie's mask was gold with an even darker gold trimming, and Sarah's mask was white, and made of tiny swan feathers. The decided not to get jewlry since between Sarah and Evie they could open a store, so they decided to use the jewlry that Sarah and Evie had, who graciously offered to let Hermione and Ginny to use it. When they were satisfied they left and headed back to the Hogs Head to meet up with the boys.
"Oh Ginny, my fool of a brother is so going to faint like the royal pain he is!" Evie joked to Ginny on the way back, and Ginny blushed. Sarah was smiling, she was starting to get second thoughts about having to kill Harry, his friends alone were enough to make her not want to do anything that involed her Uncle.
------------------------
The day of the Halloween Ball arrived all to slow for the school. Everyone was all jittery and the girls were nuts always running up and down the stairs to talk and to do their hair, and anything else. Hermione who was Head Girl had spoken to Dumbledore with Sarah about letting her go to the Gryffindor tower and helping the girls get ready and letting Sarah hang out with them. Hermione had figured it be better if Sarah came to the Gryffindor tower than Ginny, Evie and herself going to the Slytherin dungons. Dumbledore agree with Hermione and gave Sarah admitance to the Gryffindor tower whenever she pleased. Sarah who was thrilled made and act without even thinking, she gave Proffessor Dumbledore a hug.
--------------------------
Up in the Girl's domitories in the Gryffindor Tower, the four girls were panikly getting ready. Sarah helped Hermione and the others with thier hair. Sarah looked at the gown and then at their head, and then with a wave her wand and her eyes shut tight, each girls hair changed. Hermione's hair became spiral curled and thin strands of her hair was pulled back into a little pin with a navy flower on it. Sarah made Ginny's hair french- braided with purple ribbions running through the braid. Sarah didn't bother with Evie's hair, for she already knew that she would want her hair down for the most part. Evie's hair turned out to be partly up, half of her hair was in a bun with random strands of hair layed out on the side, and don't forget her gold head band which wrapped around her head. Sarah's hair was just like Hermione's but straight and with a diamond pin, that had about 5 thin white ribbons hanging.
When thier hair was done, they put on their gowns and picked out thier jewlery. Hermione picked out a simple silver chain that wrapped around her neck losely with a silver flower in the center-complements of Evie. Ginny choose a peice out of Sarah's it was a long pearl necklace that ended at her waist, Sarah tied it at the end losley, careful not to tear the string that held it together, giving it a nice touch. Evie wore her most special peice which was like a gold band that clung to her neck with red rubies and green emerald encrusted. Sarah choose her favorite peice which belong to her Grandmother and was passed down to her, the peice was very old, and still looked like new. It was a silver chain with a large diamond heart that said love in white curvy letters. When thier jewlrey was choosen, Sarah pulled the girls a side and did their make up, with the help of Hermione, who choose the colors. When they were done they went down to the common room where Ron, Ray, and Harry were waiting, Draco was going to meet Sarah outside the Great Hall.
When the Girls walked down with thier masks in hand they curtsied to their date, all but Hermione and Sarah curtsied. Harry looked at Hermione and his heart skipped a beat, he walked to her and he smiled. "Herm, may I have the honor of taking you to the Halloween Ball?" Hermione blushed and nodded her head. Then Harry turned to Sarah. "And Miss. Riddle, may I have the honor of escorting you to the ball?" Sarah smiled and curtsied.
"Why of course." Sarah walked forward and took Harry's left arm, his right ocupied by Hermoine. Ray held out his hand for Ginny, Ron held out his hand for Evie. Now that they were all hand in hand they walked out of the common room, but first let the girls put on thier mask, and they put on thiers.
Harry wore a deep green robe trimmed in silver and his mask was the same color as his robe, Sarah had given him some contacts early that morning...Harry and Sarah both thought it erie that they both had the same eye count. Ron wore a deep scarlet robe with little white star trim, and his mask was scarlet with white star print. Ray's robe was white with gold trim and his mask was gold.
------------------------
As the seven of them walked down to the Great Hall they ran into Pansy, who had no idea who they were, and accually complemented the girls on their dress, they said thankyou and when they were out of sight laughed. The Great Hall was greatly decorated with the normal floating pumpkins, there was a long table set off to the side full of refreshments, and there was a band, it was an American witch band called The Poison Polyjuice. There was also banners and streamers, and the ghost were flying around. The seven of them stood in aww at the sight, and Evie and Sarah made stiffled squeals of delight when they saw Poison Polyjuce on stage. Draco was only feet away from them, and he was looking around in search of Sarah. Sarah thanked Harry for escorting her and she walked over to Draco who walked with linked arms into the Great Hall.
"Tonight is the night you strike, is it not?" Draco mummbled to Sarah.
"Yes, but I don't feel like going through with it." Sarah said as she hung her head, and Draco looked at her, and to make it seem less suspisious he started to dance with her- it was a slow song.
"Why in the world not?"
"I just don't know, I feel like I would lose something." Draco pulled her closer.
"You have to!"
"but-" She couldn't finish Draco had kissed her in order to keep her quiet.
-----------------------
Ron walked wtih Evie to a nearby table and pulled out a chair for Evie, Harry did the same for Hermione, and Ray for Ginny. "Oh my god." Evie said and she pointed to SArah and Draco who were kissing.
"I swear if he does anything bad to hurt her, I 'll kill him!" Ray said dangerously, Sarah to Ray was like a little sister.
"Ray...Leave it be." Evie said looking at her brother, they both knew what tonight ment for Sarah...Death and loss. Ray nodded his head and looked back at Ginny who was eyeing him curiously. Evie continued to whatch Sarah and Draco, she noticed Sarah was pushing away from Draco. When she got free of his grip she walked over to the table.
"Hey guys." Sarah said.
"Enjoy yourself?" Harry asked.
"No." Sarah replied, Harry laughed. "Hey umm Harry, can I have a word with you?" Sarah asked and harry nodded yes. "Good we'll dance and talk...You don't mind do you Hermione?" Hermione shook her head no.
"No, of course not Sarah." Sarah smiled and mouthed thank you to her and walked out to the floor with Harry.
As the two began to dance Sarah looked around nervously, and Harry noticed. "Sarah what's wrong? You look really scared."
"If someone hears me I should be scared." Harry looked at Sarah strangly.
"Tell me what's wrong." Harry persisted, Sarah bit her lower lip.
"Harry, I need to tell you the truth about me...About me and you, all of us! Evie, Ray, me..." Harry raised an eyebrow at her. "I-I- AGRH!" Sarah screamed as she clapsed one hand on her forehead and the other on her stomach. A horrifying pain surged through her boddy, and her headed pounded and a voice filled her ears.
"You little brat! Keep your mouth shut, don't get soft on me!!! You know the consequences!" It was Voldemort. Everyone in the hall stopped and looked at the scene. Evie jumped from her chair and so did Ray and the others, and they rushed to Sarah who was gasping for air. She was paler than normal and her mask had fallen off, The Poison Polyjuce had stopped playing. Harry was on his knees next to Sarah who fell into his arms exsausted by the pain she had passed out. Evie rushed to her side and picked up her mask. "Ray!" She shouted. "Help Harry!" Draco who had seen Sarah out cold rushed to her side and picked her up in his arms with out even thinking he told them to follow him outside, so Sarah could get some fresh air. As they walked Evie stole glances at Ray who looked back at her just as scared. Evie finally got the nerve and pull Ray from the others. "i just need a word with him." She glared at Ray. "Ray, she tried to tell Harry the truth."
"What?" Ray asked stunned
"She tried to tell him everything, that's the only way she could have passed out the way she had. he knows...and sooner or later he's going to awaken her and have her attack Harry. Ray I don't think she wants to go through with it." Ray took in a deep breath and thought everything over in his head.
"The plan has fallen apart..." His voice trailed away and Evie nodded her head.
"Let's go before they get suspicious." Evie said and started to walk outside, Ray following behide her.
When they got out with the others Sarah was still out cold on Draco's arms. They could hear his angry voice as well. "It's all your fault Potter! If it wasn't for you she wouldn't be in this mess!"
"My fault?" Harry shouted.
"Yes, your's!" Draco sneered back.
"It's no one's fault." Evie said as she walked up. "This use to happen alot to Sarah...I think it's the stress put on her by her whole family." Hermione and Ginny looked at her.
"Are you sure?" Hermione asked. "She's probally the first Slytherin I've ever wanted to be around...i feel like she belongs with us...Like..." Her voice trailed and Ginny's took toll.
"She belongs with us..." Ginny looked at the ground and Ray walked to her side and put his arms around her. Draco sneered.
"What, you all think she needs to be a Gryffindor?" He laughed "Impossible, she's the descendent of Salazar Slytherin! She has to be in Slytherin." Ron glared.
"Just becasue she has slytherin blood running through her viens, doesn't mean her heart wants to be somewhere else!" Evie looked at Ron with admiration, and she smiled.
'good job love.' she thought to herlself. Evie walked over to him and kissed him on the cheeck, and she whispered in his ear. "You're very brave." Ron looked at her strangly and Evie walked over to Sarah. "could you lay her on the ground Draco...Oh please a little snow wont kill her!" She smirked as Draco looked a the snow ridden ground, but he layed her down all the same. Evie walked over to Sarah and she placed a hand on her chest and the other on her forehead, then she said "La tut amware, La tut amware- AWAKE!" ((he he compliments of chapie 5)) Sarah's eyes flashed open in confussion and she grabbed her forehead in fear that the skin would fall off. Her head felt dizzy and light. Draco rushed to her and held her in his arms. "Oh Sarah, you're alright! Let's get you out of the cold and down to the dungons, back to your room" Sarah wobbly nodded her head, and Draco helped her up, her knees were shaky and her steps were crooked. When the couple was out of sight The Sextet walked back inside. For about 15 minuets the sat there in silence, and then they got up knowing that Sarah would want them to have fun. Evie stayed in her seat, and Ron stayed with her.
"Are you okay?" He asked as he took a seat next to her. Evie looked up.
"Yes I'm fine." her voice was propper but faint to understand. Ron pulled Evie's chair closer to his and he wrapped his arms around her delicatly.
"I know you were scared...But you don't need to worry now..." His voice trailed and then he whispered in her ear. "Because I'm here to keep you safe and warm." Evie looked at him and smiled played across her face, before she knew it Ron had leaned in for a kiss. Evie wished that they could stay this way, but in vain. The kiss was short, yet time consuming at the same time.
"Wha-what was that for?" Evie asked.
"I felt like kissing you, that's what that was for." Ron smiled, his arms softly laying on Evie's shoulders.
-------------------------
Meanwhile Sarah had just made it to the Dungouns, Draco practically holding her up. "What happened?" He asked as she layed down on the black leather sofa that was infront of the fire.
"Nothing Draco." she murmmered. Draco didn't belive her. He walked over to the sofa and kneeled infront of it.
"Something's wrong and you're not telling me." Sarah looked at Draco, and her eyes began to water.
"OH Draco!" She lunged at him and wrapped her arms around him, he fell back and sat there with Sarah held tightly in his arms, and he in hers. "i don't wanna go through with this!" She cried into his black robe. Draco tilted her head up.
"Why? You're the Grand Neice of The Dark Lord, and he has asked you to preform a task for him. you should be honored and willing to do it." He smiled at her.
"Draco if you only knew!"
"knew what Sarah? You don't ever talk to me!" Sarah turned away, her hands folded in her lap. "Sorry I yelled." Draco said removing a hand from Sarah's shoulder and running it through his blond hair.
"It's alright...I wouldn't blame you..." Her voice was soft and quiet. "I barely ever talk to people...other than Ray and Evie...plus my American friend Riley, who's a muggle." Draco was taken aback when he hear Sarah mention that she had a muggle friend.
"Sarah, your purpose in life has been to serve for the Dark Lord." Sarah shook her head no.
"No Draco, you're wrong...I've spent my whole life training to kill, training to be the succsesor of Voldemort." Draco didn't wince unlike most. "Why do you think I'm so pale? I've never been outside for more than an hour I've been to busy training with American Death Eaters." She looked up at Draco gloom in her eyes.
"I had no idea Sarah." Draco said softly as he pulled her close to him. He inhaled her sweet perfume and ran his fingers through her black hair. "i only knew you were here to kill Potter, not become The Dark Lord's succsesor as well." Draco murmmered.
"Yep, and I still don't know who I have to marry...I'm betroved to whom ever my uncle chooses." Draco smiled.
"And you know what Sarah?" Draco asked. "That boy your to marry, will probally be me." Sarah looked up at him.
"Well at least it's you than anyone else here. I was begining to worry I'd have to marry Blaise." She smiled, a simple joke. Draco smiled too, and he huged her tighter. "Draco?"
"Yes?" he murmmered into her hair.
"Take me on a broom ride." she said as she looked at him, with pure egarness in her eyes. Draco smiled at her.
"Wait here." he got up and ran to his room. Sarah stood up and brushed the front of her white gown and sighed. She whatched the steps waiting for Draco to apper, and he did after a good 3 minuets with his broom in hand. Sarah smiled and waited for Draco at the exit, there she took his hand and they made thier way to the Great Hall.
When the coast was clear outside, Draco mounted his broom and Sarah climed on infront of him, both of her legs on the same side of the broom. "Ready?" Draco asked his breath visable in the air. Sarah nodded yes, and Draco kicked off from the ground and into the air. Sarah wrapped her arms around Draco as they flew over the lake.
"Thank you." She said.
"For what?"
"For taking me on this broom ride."Sarah said plainly.
"For you, I can do anything." Draco whispered in her ear, then he stopped the broom and they hovered there and looked at each other. Draco took Sarah's face in his hands and leaned her to him for a kiss, while Sarah pulled him closer at the same time. They sat their kissing and a heat rose through Sarah's body, heat rose through Draco's as well. Draco steered the broom to the Forrbiden Forest and landed. When he was off he led Sarah to the very edge of it. There he pinned her to a tree and kissed her tenderly. when he broke from the kiss he smiled. "We don't want to get caught snooging up in the air." Sarah giggled and she pushed him into the woods, kissing him as well. They stood in the forest showing their passion in the kisses they shared. Draco had sudden urges to strip Sarah of her cloths, but thought better of it and showed her respect by not doing so. "We have got to get back." Sarah said after about 15 minuets of kissing almost nonstop with Draco. he kissed her again.
"Aww I don't wanna!" Kisses again. Sarah pushed him away.
"If you want to make out with me sooo bad." She smirked "Then meet me at Moaning Myrtle's bathroom Sunday after your practice." She smiled. "I'm going to take you to the Chamber." Draco's eyes went wide. All his live he had wanted to go into the Chamber and tomarrow he would.
"Alright then." Draco smiled and mounted his broom. "Get on." Sarah smirked again and got on, when she was ready she kissed Draco, when she pulled away she stopped, their noses touching.
"Fly me away." She murmmered. Draco kissed her back and kicked off from the ground.
