Chapter 12
The New Year Fest
Draco advanced on Blaise and Sarah; he muttered the counter curse for Sarah. And as soon as that spell was off of her Blaise was catapulted out of the bed. "YOU DIRTY GIT! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME?" Sarah's screams were mixed with tears; she looked around and saw Draco. She ran to him even though she was drained of energy and collapsed in his arms. Draco wrapped his left arm around Sarah's waist holding her up, and held out his right hand pointing Sarah's wand at Blaise.
"I swear Blaise, make one move and I will kill you!" Draco said as Sarah shook her head and glared at him
"Death is too sweet for him." She whispered. Blaise began to stand up, and he glared at the two.
"I want Sarah, Draco." Blaise hissed
"You can't have her!' Draco replied calmly with hatred
"I get whatever I want." Blaise whispered
"Well you'll not get me." Sarah said confident
"Oh really?" Blaise asked now sending his glares to her
"Really." Her eyes became a full red the purple gone, her eyes were in a way were just the same as Voldemort's. Draco backed off by a force that pushed him. Everything around Sarah was being pushed away. But Blaise was being pulled to Sarah. Sarah's hand was out stretched and it grabbed Blaise firmly around the neck. "You obviously don't know who you are dealing with Blaise! I am the blood relative of Voldemort!" Blaise couldn't breath but it wouldn't have mattered, he was too stunned by the information.
"You can't be." Was all he could muster?
"She is." Voldemort stood in a corner, his black hood draped over him like a blanket. "Sarah control you energy." Voldemort walked forward. And the intense force that was around her faded. She dropped Blaise to the ground and he gasped for air. When Blaise looked up Voldemort was hovering of him. By this time Sarah's eyes were back to purple with red and a slit. "You foolish boy, try to rape my niece, that's a nice way to die." Blaise went white, he feared for his life, he had no idea Sarah was relative to The Dark Lord. Voldemort grabbed Blaise by the collar and pulled him up.
"Pl-pl-plea-ease sir I didn't mean to-I mean-I -I didn't know." Blaise begged for his life and a Smile cracked on Sarah's lips.
"Just kill him Uncle" Sarah said and Voldemort shook his head.
"I'll give him one last chance," He looked down at Blaise "but if you touch her again, she has my permission to perform the Crucio curse on you." Blaise went even paler; he'd rather die than be tortured.
"I-I promise I'll never touch her again my Lord." Voldemort threw Blaise to the ground in disgust, he snapped his fingers and Sarah was back in her gown, and she was happy for it.
"Thank you Uncle." Sarah said pressing her gown to make it neat. Voldemort walked over to the door and opened it. Outside waiting was Lucius and Malcolm, Blaise's father. Malcolm strode in and grabbed Blaise by the ear.
"You ungrateful brat! We're going home!" He looked over Voldemort and bowed "I'm gratefully sorry my lord, it will not happen again." Malcolm then looked at Sarah. "I am sorry as well Miss Riddle; you have my permission to Crucio him if he ever bothers you again." Sarah nodded her head trying not to smile. Malcolm pulled Blaise's ear and dragged him out of the room and into the hall.
Lucius looked at Draco with bewilderment. "You tell me what happened boy." he sneered Sarah jumped in and talked for Draco.
"Please Mr. Malfoy it's not Draco's fault...quite the contrary, he saved me."
"How?" Lucius asked sour-toned
"I was under the imperious curse and I was taken advantage of, if Draco hadn't of taken the curse off, or was even here who knows what would have happened to me." Draco looked at Sarah and smiled.
"Fine job then Young Draco, you are serving your purpose well." Voldemort looked at Lucius. "They are to stay together in the same room tonight, and until I see other wise." Voldemort took one last look at Draco and Sarah and he disappeared. Lucius left the room as well.
"You two better come back down, everyone is getting suspicious, but no doubt they now know what happened up here." His face showed disgust as he slammed the door shut.
"I hope that Git learned-" Draco started, but Sarah lunged at him and kissed him. Draco's eyes were wide with amazement and he kissed her back. "What was that for?"
"For saving me." She kissed him again, she couldn't stop. Draco pushed her away from him.
"No Sarah, stop" Sarah looked at him. "I'm happy I saved you too, but it doesn't require what you are doing."
"Oh yes it does" Sarah said looking in his eyes. "Draco Malfoy I am in love with you." She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him. Draco hugged her back, and he broke it as well.
"I love you too, but how about we make a pact. No more kissing on the lips or making out..." Sarah looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Draco are you ok?"
"Yes I'm fine; I just think that if we don't have any sexual relations together then we should become closer together. Sarah looked at Draco and absorbed his comment. She finally smiled and gave in.
"Alright, I'll agree, under one term."
"What?" Draco asked
"You give me a good morning kiss every morning." Draco looked at her with a smiled.
"Alright. I'll give you one every morning just like this." He leaned in and kissed her forehead and smiled back at her.
~*~*~
Two weeks past and Sarah and everyone else was back at Hogwarts. Sarah had told Hermione, Ginny and Evie exactly what had happened. Evie was pissed at Blaise but then again thankful Draco was there. Ginny was quite shaken and scared, while Hermione hoped Blaise would be sent to Azkaban. Ray Harry and Ron were another thing to deal with, but they some how found out about Sarah's incident.
They all sat in their usual seats listening to Snape drown on about a very complicated potion that they would be making over the next month. "Your ingredients are listed on the board" Snape flicked his wand and the ingredients appeared. Sarah had been reseated away from Blaise and half of the Slytherins. She now sat with Evie and Ray. Evie looked at Ray as he walked off to get the ingredients.
"Sarah we have to make a move soon, the year is almost over!"
"I know Evie, I know"
"What are we talking about?" Ray had returned.
"The plan" Sarah replied taking things from Ray.
"Yeah he's becoming a bit restless" Ray said as he sat down.
"How do you know?" Evie glared at him
"I've been getting letters from him once a month." Sarah looked at Ray shocked
"What- how." Sarah stuttered almost dropping her motor and pestle.
"He's an old fashion guy; I guess he thinks that a man will get things done faster and better." Evie about ripped his head off.
"Well it's not your mission is it?" Evie sneered nastily.
"It's just as much mine as it is yours; Sarah's just the ring leader." Sarah whipped her head in Ray's direction.
"I wasn't dragged all the way from Cali just to fail!" She whispered dangerously to Ray her eyes becoming a slight red. Ray leaned away from her. "We'll get this done after new year, that's gives us three weeks to get ready after new year...then we strike" Sarah was serious this time, she wanted to go home back to the beach, back to the surf, so did Evie.
~*~*~
Meanwhile over at Harry, Hermione and Ron's table they were talking deeply about what to do for New Year. Hermione suggested they go do something no other student has done before. Harry and Ron agreed.
"Please Granger; you're not the outgoing type." Draco smirked turned around in his chair. Hermione glared at him.
"Yes I am, I can do anything."
"Anything? Wow, that's different, but will you do anything?" Draco asked a glint in his eye.
"Yes I would." Hermione whispered dangerously to him.
"Ha, very funny." Draco said, Ron was on his last nerve, he was about to kick Draco's ass, until Hermione said something that shocked Harry, Ron and Draco.
"I would even dress up in a playboy bunny suit and walk around in front of everyone." Hermione looked at him.
"No you wouldn't." Draco said.
"Umm Herm' don't you think you'd be revealing a little too much?" Ron asked.
"Oh hush Ron." Hermione snapped. "And I would Malfoy."
"Oh really? Prove it." Draco sneered.
"I will, have Sarah get you into the Gryffindor Common Room on New Years." Hermione glared at him and then went back to her work.
"Alright then." Draco turned around and went to work with Crabble and Goyle.
"Hermione!" Ron whispered to her harshly. "What's gotten into you?"
"Nothing Ron, I'm just sick and tired of being pushed around by that git. So I'm going to prove to him I'm not a nobody."
"You plan on dressing alone?" Harry asked.
"No, I'll get Sarah and Evie to do it too and maybe Ginny." Hermione said plainly.
"Oh no you don't, my sister's not going to wear anything that revealing." Ron said his face red.
"Please Ron are you her mother?" Hermione asked.
"Umm no, but she's my little sister!" Ron stuttered
"Ron you need to loosen up." Hermione said.
"No I don't" Ron muttered. Harry kept quite trying not to laugh.
~*~*~
At the end of class the group headed straight to Lunch there they began chatting on how they were going to pull everything off. They were in the middle of the plan when Sarah came running up. "What the hell is this I hear about you in Playboy?" Sarah asked quite enough for Hermione to hear...
"No Sarah, I'm going to dress up as a bunny. Draco thinks I won't so I'm going to prove him wrong...hey will you do it? Evie and Ginny are!" Hermione looked desperate. Sarah backed away, and then smirked.
"Just where do you think you're going to get the suits?" Sarah asked. Hermione gasped.
"Oh my gosh! I don't know." Hermione freaked out, Sarah smiled.
"I do." She said simply.
"You do?" Evie asked question, and astonished, her eyes wide. Ray looked form Sarah to Evie, Sarah to Evie over and over again, until.
"Yes..." Sarah smiled. "I happen to own a suit. After this semester I'm going to live here permanently, so I brought everything that's mine. Evie you should have one too." Sarah smiled slyly at Evie who was glaring at her. Ray looked shocked at his sister.
"You own one of those?!" Evie nodded a yes. "How?!"
"Well last year at School, we had a Halloween party, so Sarah, some other girls, and me went as Playboy bunnies...Hey that was all the Costume shop had left!" Evie shouted at her brother who was giving her the evil eye. "So we went as them." She tired to smile but it didn't work. Sarah looked over to Hermione.
"So Herm when you plan on doing this?" Sarah asked.
"New Year's." She said simply.
"Ummm, good." Sarah smirked. "Well I have to get, bye!" She waved and walked over to Slytherin Table.
~*~*~*~
The next week the girls went to Hogsmead and got fabric, glitter, bow ties, shoes, fishnet stockings and some other things.
"Oh my god, Ron is gonna kill me!" Ginny chuckled as they sat up in the girls dormitory in Gryffindor watching Sarah sew a suite based of her pink one.
"No he won't, he'll be to occupied looking at Evie" Hermione said.
"So what are you going to serve as drinks?" Sarah asked cutting a string. Hermione paused, Sarah laughed. "Alright you know what? Send in an order of a crate or two of butter beer. We can go down to the kitchen and get wine glasses and serving platters. "Hermione sighed.
"Thank god that you're American, you and Evie both." Hermione smiled as she wrote down an order for two crates of Butter beer.
"No problem, oh here Ginny you better try this on for me." Sarah said handing the green suit to Evie who handed it to Ginny.
"Ok." Ginny walked over behind one of those changing walls and changed.
"Evie she might need some help." Evie nodded and looked at Sarah's right hand which she was massaging with her left hand.
"Gottcha." Evie said and walked over to help Ginny get into her suit.
"A perfect fit Sarah!" Evie shouted back to Sarah and Hermione. That's when something hit Sarah, she was supposed to see if Herm' liked Harry more than a friend.
"Hey Herm'" Sarah started grabbing some black fabric and cutting it.
"Yeah Sarah?" Hermione asked.
"You know I really think Harry likes you." Hermione's head shot up.
"Why would you think that?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Oh well I'm just saying..."
"Saying what Sarah?" Hermione was becoming anxious
"Nothing just that you two would make a cute couple." Sarah shrugged her shoulders and she began to thread a needle.
"Oh well ok." Hermione said folding up the order for the butter beer.
~*~*~*~
Meanwhile Harry was in the common room with Ray, and Ron. "You know I can't wait to see Ginny." Ray said, Ron glared at him. "Hey, I bet you're anxious to see my sister too!" Ray snapped back and Ron sighed.
"Just a little." Ray winked and a smile cracked on his face.
"That's the spirit!" Ray elbowed Ron in the shoulder.
"Hey Harry, what's the matter." Ron asked
"Oh nothing Ron...I'm just really nervous at seeing Hermione, plus the fact that Draco Malfoy will be in the Common Room."
"Now why would you be nervous at seeing Herm?" Ray asked with a glint that reminded Harry of Draco.
"It's just that I've never seen anything more than her face... and her knees." Harry said looking around as he talked. Ray busted out laughing.
"Dude you must really like Herm-" Ron elbowed Ray to shut up. "Oh sorry man. I get it you're scared that if you actually date her it'll ruin everything." Harry shook his head. "You know Harry that really has to suck. I've never had any real girls that were my best friend, other than Sarah but she's...well let's not go there." He said shutting himself up. He smacked himself mentally for almost letting everything slip. Ray heard the soft pitter patter of claws on a window and looked around. There was Hourus, Evie' falcon owl. Ray ran over to the window and opened it letting not only Hourus in but a snowy chill. From Hourus he took three envelopes with Sarah's neat and curly handwriting. Ray's read:
***Dear Ray,***

Ginny Weasly.

Sincerely,
***Sarah Riddle and the bunny crew ***
"Sarah Riddle and the Bunny Crew?" Harry asked after reading his invitation. He looked around and saw that Hourus was dropping other invitations, and they were to: Neville, Collin, Seamus, Dean and Denis- Collin's little brother. Harry also noticed Hourus had letter for three people who had already graduated, and they were: Fred, and George; and Lee- Jordan. Harry smiled, it would be nice to see them again, and Harry hadn't seen them since the beginning of the year when they came to pick him up. Hourus had some water and went back out the window to the other Common Rooms. Ron was already headed up the stairs to set the invitations on the boys' beds. Ray walked over to Harry and put an arm around him. "Well chap looks like we're in for a fun night tonight!" he smiled at Harry who was turning red. Ray laughed and began walking out of the Common Room to the Library.
Harry walked back to his seat and sighed. He was having mixed emotions about everything. How he didn't have any family left, how he was scared of Hermione; the one girl he loved with all his heart...and it hurt him that he couldn't say it to her...for that reason he was scared of her and her reaction. Harry's thoughts drifted from thought to thought-His parents' death, what life might be like if he had Hermione in his arms, he wasn't sure but he could feel something in Sarah that was a lie. Sarah reminded him of Eris, the Goddess of Discord and Chaos, Sarah loved to cause chaos. When she saw a poor bloke she would trip him or her and make their day a living Hell.
Harry sighed once again and fell asleep, when he was shaken awake by a girl with magnificent brown hair that flowed to the middle of her back in soft wavy curls. Harry's eyes slowly opened and he smiled when he realized it was Hermione who was awakening him. She smiled down at him "You better go get ready you have at least a half hour, that is if you're going." she smiled and walked out carrying a bag with her suit in it. Harry nodded his head and walked up the stairs, he noticed that Sarah was whispering something to Hermione, and that Hermione was giggling. They all looked at him and laughed, Ginny's face as red as her hair.
Harry couldn't figure out why they were laughing, and it wasn't until he got to him room and looked in the mirror that he noticed. Harry gasped, his face was covered in white powder, with red rouge circles on his cheeks, not to mention the fact he had on chrisom lipstick on, and his eyes were covered in mascara and a light green eye shadow. Neville walked in and as soon as he saw Harry he froze. "Umm Harry, why do you have girls make up on your face?" Harry turned to face Neville.
"Because Sarah, Hermione, Ginny, and Evie did this to me while I was sleeping." Neville started to snigger, and then laughed. "What?! It's not funny!" Harry looked around franticly looking for soap and a washcloth. He grabbed a bar of soap and a white washcloth. He slashed water to his face, and then rubbed the soap on his hands. He dropped the soap and put his hands to his face and began scrubbing. To his relieve it was coming off. He slashed water to his face again and when with a second round with the soap to his face. He patted his face dry when he was done and looked in the mirror. Neville must have been waiting for him, because he was still laughing a bit. Harry's lips were still a bit red but that didn't matter, as long as most of it was gone and all the face makeup was off of him. Harry looked over at Neville who was smiling so wide it looked like his jaw would break or his check mussels would tear. Harry smiled over at Neville, "Shut up man, let's get." Harry grabbed another white shirt and buttoned it, then walked out with Neville.
~*~*~*~
"So Harry, exactly where is this Room of Requirement?" Neville asked looking at Harry.
"Just a little further." When they got to the hall where the room was Harry told Neville to wish for the party, and that the door would appear, and it did just that. As soon as they walked in they were frozen to the spot. Almost every 7th year and 6th year were in the room. They were sitting at tables drinking Butterbeer and eating little snacks. Sarah walked up from behind them and closed the door. Her hair was curly and down, with two white bunny ears on the top of her head, around her neck was a black bow tie. Her legs were covered in fishnet stockings and a garter belt on each leg. Her suit was pink. Harry goggled at her and she smirked. "Harry good to see you find a seat, you too Neville." she laughed Neville was turning a bright red; he nodded his head and walked over to a table.
"Sarah..." Harry started.
"Where's Hermione, is that what you were gonna ask me." She smiled and pointed to a corner. "She's right there, next to Lavender." Harry suddenly noticed there were another two girls in suits from Hufflepuff, another three from Ravenclaw, and probably 4 from Slytherin, not to mention that every 7th year girl from Gryffindor was in a suit. Harry finally spotted Hermione. She was wearing everything black except she didn't have a garter belt on both her legs, just on one, and her suit was black. Sarah pushed him. "Go get your thing on." she giggled and walked over to a table full of slytherins.
Harry took at seat next to Ron. "Gee look Evie." Ron said pointing to Evie who was in a red suit, Ron looked dazed.
"Hey Harry, thirsty?" It was Hermione, Harry looked up and blushed.
"Umm yeah..." Harry said, Hermione smiled.
"Here you go." She set down a small whisky cup of Butterbeer. "Sorry you don't have a lot, we had to ration It." she smiled, and took a seat next to Harry, and across from Ron.
"So what do yall have planed for tonight?" Ron asked now taking his eyes off Evie. "Evie said that yall had a surprise." Hermione nodded her head with a smile.
"Yep, it was Evie's idea; remember when Ray was talking about how Sarah use to dance. Well Evie bought her some really nice flat heel tap shoes." She laughed. "We're gonna get her to dance again, starting tonight, that's what that stage is for." Hermione said pointing to the small stage alongside the wall across from Harry. Harry eyed, and then looked back to Hermione.
"Okay everyone." Ginny had walked up on the stage. "We will be having a Karaoke contest, thanks to Evie Falcon who was kind enough to create a charm that would make electronics work." Everyone clapped and Evie smiled "The contest will be in five minuets. Here's the sign up sheet" she held up a clip board. "Sign up fast with your name and song you will be singing and get ready to show your stuff." Ron looked over to Harry.
"Oh come on Harry it'll be great. I know this American Song called the Drinking Bone, we can sing that! I don't all the words but I know the chorus!" Harry raised an eyebrow.
"Oh all right." Harry finally said. Hermione got up and smiled.
"I'll sign you guys up." Harry and Ron nodded their head, and went to talking.
*** "The Drinking bone's connected to the party bone, The party bone's connected to the staying out all night long, She won't think its funny and I'll wind up all alone, And the lonely bones connected to... The Drinking bone's connectected to the party bone, The party bone's connected to the staying out all night long, She won't think its funny and I'll wind up all alone, And the lonely bone's connected to the drinking bone!"***
Harry and Ron took their bow before everyone who was clapping; even a drunk Malfoy was clapping for them. Hermione and Sarah ran up to them. "Oh my god I didn't know you knew that song!" Sarah shouted over the noise.
"It was all Ron's idea!" Harry said taking a sip of his butter beer; Ron was smiling from ear to ear. Evie too came up and jumped on Ron, suffocating him with her kissing.
"I think she's drunk." Hermione leaned over to Sarah and muttered in her ear.
"Naw..." Sarah said waving her hand. "I've seen Evie get drunk, when she starts trying to strip then she's drunk." Hermione's eyes went wide. Sarah smiled. "Why don't you two dance!?" Sarah said pushing Hermione up to Harry.
"Sarah I don't know how to dance." Hermione said. Sarah sighed and called for Draco who came over.
"Draco's drunk enough he'll help me teach yall how to dance." She laughed and Draco came up.
"What?" Draco asked.
"Dance with me!" Sarah said.
"Well ok." Sarah put her back to Draco's chest and began to grind it with Draco. Sarah did a few body rolls, and gave him a couple kisses and that was about it.
"Ok Draco I'm done dancing." Draco nodded his drunken head and wobbled off. Sarah smiled. "That's how it's done, well in America anyway." She sighed.
"That's ok Sarah; I don't think I want to dance anyway." Harry said, Hermione looked somewhat disappointed.
"Well then I guess we need to get back to work." Hermione sighed and walked over to the bar to get more drinks. Sarah glared at Harry.
"You Jack Ass." Harry looked shocked with a face that said 'what did I do?' "Hermione really wanted to dance with you."
"Yeah well I don't feel like making a fool out of myself." Harry snapped back.
"You already did." Sarah said, she turned around and walked off.
IT had just turned 11:00, and the party was getting better and better. Pansy had tried to dirty dance with the drunken Draco, but all in vain, Sarah intervened and moved Pansy away from Draco. "He's drunk, don't do something to him he'll regret." was all Sarah had said to Pansy. Everyone was in a good mood, Karaoke was had just ended, and all the drinks were gone, now everyone was sitting and talking. Sarah and the others were just handing out the last of the snacks, when Ginny, Evie and Hermione walked on the stage; it was five minuets till New Years. "Everyone!" Ginny called out and they were silent.
"We got al lil something, something for Sarah." Evie said winking. Sarah dropped her platter and everyone laughed at her. Her cheeks were turning red. Hermione pulled a black and white box out from behind her back.
"These are for you Sarah." Hermione said. Hermione opened the box and inside was a pair of black flat heel taps. Sarah froze. Evie sniggered.
"Well come up and get em you big palooka!" Evie said and Sarah smiled walking up and taking her high heels off at the same time. "We would like you to tap us into the New Year." Evie smiled as Sarah traced a finger along the side of the left shoe.
"They're beautiful, thank you guys!" Sarah shouted giving them hugs. Everyone clapped and cheered.
"Ok we only have a minuet left! Sarah why don't you go warm up and come back up here for the last ten seconds of the year?" Ginny told Sarah. Sarah nodded a tear running down her check. Sarah took them from the box that Hermione was holding and put them on her feet. Sarah felt home with the tap shoes on her feet. Evie smiled and ran over to Sarah in the corner.
"So do you like the present?" Sarah laughed
"Do I like? Of course I love it!" Sarah gave Evie a great hug, and the two laughed.
"We wanted to find a way to make you dance again." Evie said, and told Sarah of the night that she got the letter form Sarah over Christmas Break. Sarah smiled, and by the time the story was over it was time for Sarah to get on Stage.
Everyone was dead silent waiting for Sarah to Start. She looked over to Hermione who gave Sarah the cue. Once Sarah started everyone counted down from ten to one. Sarah's feet were making a non stop tapping sound, and the taps were moving at such a fast rate. There was only one time when she went slow and that was when she did flap, heel, heel, spank back, heel, toe, heel. She ended the countdown with a time step.
"10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!" everyone shouted. Everyone clapped and jumped up and down. Sarah paused standing on stage she looked down at her feet. She couldn't do it anymore; she didn't want to kill anyone...
-----------------------------
So ends this chapter, sorry if it's short. In chapter 13 something big will go down, will Harry survive, or will he die trying to save the ones he loves? You'll have to think of what happens next, it may not be how you think it will turn out.

Chapter 12
The New Year Fest
Draco advanced on Blaise and Sarah; he muttered the counter curse for Sarah. And as soon as that spell was off of her Blaise was catapulted out of the bed. "YOU DIRTY GIT! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME?" Sarah's screams were mixed with tears; she looked around and saw Draco. She ran to him even though she was drained of energy and collapsed in his arms. Draco wrapped his left arm around Sarah's waist holding her up, and held out his right hand pointing Sarah's wand at Blaise.
"I swear Blaise, make one move and I will kill you!" Draco said as Sarah shook her head and glared at him
"Death is too sweet for him." She whispered. Blaise began to stand up, and he glared at the two.
"I want Sarah, Draco." Blaise hissed
"You can't have her!' Draco replied calmly with hatred
"I get whatever I want." Blaise whispered
"Well you'll not get me." Sarah said confident
"Oh really?" Blaise asked now sending his glares to her
"Really." Her eyes became a full red the purple gone, her eyes were in a way were just the same as Voldemort's. Draco backed off by a force that pushed him. Everything around Sarah was being pushed away. But Blaise was being pulled to Sarah. Sarah's hand was out stretched and it grabbed Blaise firmly around the neck. "You obviously don't know who you are dealing with Blaise! I am the blood relative of Voldemort!" Blaise couldn't breath but it wouldn't have mattered, he was too stunned by the information.
"You can't be." Was all he could muster?
"She is." Voldemort stood in a corner, his black hood draped over him like a blanket. "Sarah control you energy." Voldemort walked forward. And the intense force that was around her faded. She dropped Blaise to the ground and he gasped for air. When Blaise looked up Voldemort was hovering of him. By this time Sarah's eyes were back to purple with red and a slit. "You foolish boy, try to rape my niece, that's a nice way to die." Blaise went white, he feared for his life, he had no idea Sarah was relative to The Dark Lord. Voldemort grabbed Blaise by the collar and pulled him up.
"Pl-pl-plea-ease sir I didn't mean to-I mean-I -I didn't know." Blaise begged for his life and a Smile cracked on Sarah's lips.
"Just kill him Uncle" Sarah said and Voldemort shook his head.
"I'll give him one last chance," He looked down at Blaise "but if you touch her again, she has my permission to perform the Crucio curse on you." Blaise went even paler; he'd rather die than be tortured.
"I-I promise I'll never touch her again my Lord." Voldemort threw Blaise to the ground in disgust, he snapped his fingers and Sarah was back in her gown, and she was happy for it.
"Thank you Uncle." Sarah said pressing her gown to make it neat. Voldemort walked over to the door and opened it. Outside waiting was Lucius and Malcolm, Blaise's father. Malcolm strode in and grabbed Blaise by the ear.
"You ungrateful brat! We're going home!" He looked over Voldemort and bowed "I'm gratefully sorry my lord, it will not happen again." Malcolm then looked at Sarah. "I am sorry as well Miss Riddle; you have my permission to Crucio him if he ever bothers you again." Sarah nodded her head trying not to smile. Malcolm pulled Blaise's ear and dragged him out of the room and into the hall.
Lucius looked at Draco with bewilderment. "You tell me what happened boy." he sneered Sarah jumped in and talked for Draco.
"Please Mr. Malfoy it's not Draco's fault...quite the contrary, he saved me."
"How?" Lucius asked sour-toned
"I was under the imperious curse and I was taken advantage of, if Draco hadn't of taken the curse off, or was even here who knows what would have happened to me." Draco looked at Sarah and smiled.
"Fine job then Young Draco, you are serving your purpose well." Voldemort looked at Lucius. "They are to stay together in the same room tonight, and until I see other wise." Voldemort took one last look at Draco and Sarah and he disappeared. Lucius left the room as well.
"You two better come back down, everyone is getting suspicious, but no doubt they now know what happened up here." His face showed disgust as he slammed the door shut.
"I hope that Git learned-" Draco started, but Sarah lunged at him and kissed him. Draco's eyes were wide with amazement and he kissed her back. "What was that for?"
"For saving me." She kissed him again, she couldn't stop. Draco pushed her away from him.
"No Sarah, stop" Sarah looked at him. "I'm happy I saved you too, but it doesn't require what you are doing."
"Oh yes it does" Sarah said looking in his eyes. "Draco Malfoy I am in love with you." She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him. Draco hugged her back, and he broke it as well.
"I love you too, but how about we make a pact. No more kissing on the lips or making out..." Sarah looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Draco are you ok?"
"Yes I'm fine; I just think that if we don't have any sexual relations together then we should become closer together. Sarah looked at Draco and absorbed his comment. She finally smiled and gave in.
"Alright, I'll agree, under one term."
"What?" Draco asked
"You give me a good morning kiss every morning." Draco looked at her with a smiled.
"Alright. I'll give you one every morning just like this." He leaned in and kissed her forehead and smiled back at her.

Two weeks past and Sarah and everyone else was back at Hogwarts. Sarah had told Hermione, Ginny and Evie exactly what had happened. Evie was pissed at Blaise but then again thankful Draco was there. Ginny was quite shaken and scared, while Hermione hoped Blaise would be sent to Azkaban. Ray Harry and Ron were another thing to deal with, but they some how found out about Sarah's incident.
They all sat in their usual seats listening to Snape drown on about a very complicated potion that they would be making over the next month. "Your ingredients are listed on the board" Snape flicked his wand and the ingredients appeared. Sarah had been reseated away from Blaise and half of the Slytherins. She now sat with Evie and Ray. Evie looked at Ray as he walked off to get the ingredients.
"Sarah we have to make a move soon, the year is almost over!"
"I know Evie, I know"
"What are we talking about?" Ray had returned.
"The plan" Sarah replied taking things from Ray.
"Yeah he's becoming a bit restless" Ray said as he sat down.
"How do you know?" Evie glared at him
"I've been getting letters from him once a month." Sarah looked at Ray shocked
"What- how." Sarah stuttered almost dropping her motor and pestle.
"He's an old fashion guy; I guess he thinks that a man will get things done faster and better." Evie about ripped his head off.
"Well it's not your mission is it?" Evie sneered nastily.
"It's just as much mine as it is yours; Sarah's just the ring leader." Sarah whipped her head in Ray's direction.
"I wasn't dragged all the way from Cali just to fail!" She whispered dangerously to Ray her eyes becoming a slight red. Ray leaned away from her. "We'll get this done after new year, that's gives us three weeks to get ready after new year...then we strike" Sarah was serious this time, she wanted to go home back to the beach, back to the surf, so did Evie.
~*~*~
Meanwhile over at Harry, Hermione and Ron's table they were talking deeply about what to do for New Year. Hermione suggested they go do something no other student has done before. Harry and Ron agreed.
"Please Granger; you're not the outgoing type." Draco smirked turned around in his chair. Hermione glared at him.
"Yes I am, I can do anything."
"Anything? Wow, that's different, but will you do anything?" Draco asked a glint in his eye.
"Yes I would." Hermione whispered dangerously to him.
"Ha, very funny." Draco said, Ron was on his last nerve, he was about to kick Draco's ass, until Hermione said something that shocked Harry, Ron and Draco.
"I would even dress up in a playboy bunny suit and walk around in front of everyone." Hermione looked at him.
"No you wouldn't." Draco said.
"Umm Herm' don't you think you'd be revealing a little too much?" Ron asked.
"Oh hush Ron." Hermione snapped. "And I would Malfoy."
"Oh really? Prove it." Draco sneered.
"I will, have Sarah get you into the Gryffindor Common Room on New Years." Hermione glared at him and then went back to her work.
"Alright then." Draco turned around and went to work with Crabble and Goyle.
"Hermione!" Ron whispered to her harshly. "What's gotten into you?"
"Nothing Ron, I'm just sick and tired of being pushed around by that git. So I'm going to prove to him I'm not a nobody."
"You plan on dressing alone?" Harry asked.
"No, I'll get Sarah and Evie to do it too and maybe Ginny." Hermione said plainly.
"Oh no you don't, my sister's not going to wear anything that revealing." Ron said his face red.
"Please Ron are you her mother?" Hermione asked.
"Umm no, but she's my little sister!" Ron stuttered
"Ron you need to loosen up." Hermione said.
"No I don't" Ron muttered. Harry kept quite trying not to laugh.
~*~*~
At the end of class the group headed straight to Lunch there they began chatting on how they were going to pull everything off. They were in the middle of the plan when Sarah came running up. "What the hell is this I hear about you in Playboy?" Sarah asked quite enough for Hermione to hear...
"No Sarah, I'm going to dress up as a bunny. Draco thinks I won't so I'm going to prove him wrong...hey will you do it? Evie and Ginny are!" Hermione looked desperate. Sarah backed away, and then smirked.
"Just where do you think you're going to get the suits?" Sarah asked. Hermione gasped.
"Oh my gosh! I don't know." Hermione freaked out, Sarah smiled.
"I do." She said simply.
"You do?" Evie asked question, and astonished, her eyes wide. Ray looked form Sarah to Evie, Sarah to Evie over and over again, until.
"Yes..." Sarah smiled. "I happen to own a suit. After this semester I'm going to live here permanently, so I brought everything that's mine. Evie you should have one too." Sarah smiled slyly at Evie who was glaring at her. Ray looked shocked at his sister.
"You own one of those?!" Evie nodded a yes. "How?!"
"Well last year at School, we had a Halloween party, so Sarah, some other girls, and me went as Playboy bunnies...Hey that was all the Costume shop had left!" Evie shouted at her brother who was giving her the evil eye. "So we went as them." She tired to smile but it didn't work. Sarah looked over to Hermione.
"So Herm when you plan on doing this?" Sarah asked.
"New Year's." She said simply.
"Ummm, good." Sarah smirked. "Well I have to get, bye!" She waved and walked over to Slytherin Table.
~*~*~*~
The next week the girls went to Hogsmead and got fabric, glitter, bow ties, shoes, fishnet stockings and some other things.
"Oh my god, Ron is gonna kill me!" Ginny chuckled as they sat up in the girls dormitory in Gryffindor watching Sarah sew a suite based of her pink one.
"No he won't, he'll be to occupied looking at Evie" Hermione said.
"So what are you going to serve as drinks?" Sarah asked cutting a string. Hermione paused, Sarah laughed. "Alright you know what? Send in an order of a crate or two of butter beer. We can go down to the kitchen and get wine glasses and serving platters. "Hermione sighed.
"Thank god that you're American, you and Evie both." Hermione smiled as she wrote down an order for two crates of Butter beer.
"No problem, oh here Ginny you better try this on for me." Sarah said handing the green suit to Evie who handed it to Ginny.
"Ok." Ginny walked over behind one of those changing walls and changed.
"Evie she might need some help." Evie nodded and looked at Sarah's right hand which she was massaging with her left hand.
"Gottcha." Evie said and walked over to help Ginny get into her suit.
"A perfect fit Sarah!" Evie shouted back to Sarah and Hermione. That's when something hit Sarah, she was supposed to see if Herm' liked Harry more than a friend.
"Hey Herm'" Sarah started grabbing some black fabric and cutting it.
"Yeah Sarah?" Hermione asked.
"You know I really think Harry likes you." Hermione's head shot up.
"Why would you think that?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Oh well I'm just saying..."
"Saying what Sarah?" Hermione was becoming anxious
"Nothing just that you two would make a cute couple." Sarah shrugged her shoulders and she began to thread a needle.
"Oh well ok." Hermione said folding up the order for the butter beer.
~*~*~*~
Meanwhile Harry was in the common room with Ray, and Ron. "You know I can't wait to see Ginny." Ray said, Ron glared at him. "Hey, I bet you're anxious to see my sister too!" Ray snapped back and Ron sighed.
"Just a little." Ray winked and a smile cracked on his face.
"That's the spirit!" Ray elbowed Ron in the shoulder.
"Hey Harry, what's the matter." Ron asked
"Oh nothing Ron...I'm just really nervous at seeing Hermione, plus the fact that Draco Malfoy will be in the Common Room."
"Now why would you be nervous at seeing Herm?" Ray asked with a glint that reminded Harry of Draco.
"It's just that I've never seen anything more than her face... and her knees." Harry said looking around as he talked. Ray busted out laughing.
"Dude you must really like Herm-" Ron elbowed Ray to shut up. "Oh sorry man. I get it you're scared that if you actually date her it'll ruin everything." Harry shook his head. "You know Harry that really has to suck. I've never had any real girls that were my best friend, other than Sarah but she's...well let's not go there." He said shutting himself up. He smacked himself mentally for almost letting everything slip. Ray heard the soft pitter patter of claws on a window and looked around. There was Hourus, Evie' falcon owl. Ray ran over to the window and opened it letting not only Hourus in but a snowy chill. From Hourus he took three envelopes with Sarah's neat and curly handwriting. Ray's read:

***Sarah Riddle and the bunny crew ***
"Sarah Riddle and the Bunny Crew?" Harry asked after reading his invitation. He looked around and saw that Hourus was dropping other invitations, and they were to: Neville, Collin, Seamus, Dean and Denis- Collin's little brother. Harry also noticed Hourus had letter for three people who had already graduated, and they were: Fred, and George; and Lee- Jordan. Harry smiled, it would be nice to see them again, and Harry hadn't seen them since the beginning of the year when they came to pick him up. Hourus had some water and went back out the window to the other Common Rooms. Ron was already headed up the stairs to set the invitations on the boys' beds. Ray walked over to Harry and put an arm around him. "Well chap looks like we're in for a fun night tonight!" he smiled at Harry who was turning red. Ray laughed and began walking out of the Common Room to the Library.
Harry walked back to his seat and sighed. He was having mixed emotions about everything. How he didn't have any family left, how he was scared of Hermione; the one girl he loved with all his heart...and it hurt him that he couldn't say it to her...for that reason he was scared of her and her reaction. Harry's thoughts drifted from thought to thought-His parents' death, what life might be like if he had Hermione in his arms, he wasn't sure but he could feel something in Sarah that was a lie. Sarah reminded him of Eris, the Goddess of Discord and Chaos, Sarah loved to cause chaos. When she saw a poor bloke she would trip him or her and make their day a living Hell.
Harry sighed once again and fell asleep, when he was shaken awake by a girl with magnificent brown hair that flowed to the middle of her back in soft wavy curls. Harry's eyes slowly opened and he smiled when he realized it was Hermione who was awakening him. She smiled down at him "You better go get ready you have at least a half hour, that is if you're going." she smiled and walked out carrying a bag with her suit in it. Harry nodded his head and walked up the stairs, he noticed that Sarah was whispering something to Hermione, and that Hermione was giggling. They all looked at him and laughed, Ginny's face as red as her hair.
Harry couldn't figure out why they were laughing, and it wasn't until he got to him room and looked in the mirror that he noticed. Harry gasped, his face was covered in white powder, with red rouge circles on his cheeks, not to mention the fact he had on chrisom lipstick on, and his eyes were covered in mascara and a light green eye shadow. Neville walked in and as soon as he saw Harry he froze. "Umm Harry, why do you have girls make up on your face?" Harry turned to face Neville.
"Because Sarah, Hermione, Ginny, and Evie did this to me while I was sleeping." Neville started to snigger, and then laughed. "What?! It's not funny!" Harry looked around franticly looking for soap and a washcloth. He grabbed a bar of soap and a white washcloth. He slashed water to his face, and then rubbed the soap on his hands. He dropped the soap and put his hands to his face and began scrubbing. To his relieve it was coming off. He slashed water to his face again and when with a second round with the soap to his face. He patted his face dry when he was done and looked in the mirror. Neville must have been waiting for him, because he was still laughing a bit. Harry's lips were still a bit red but that didn't matter, as long as most of it was gone and all the face makeup was off of him. Harry looked over at Neville who was smiling so wide it looked like his jaw would break or his check mussels would tear. Harry smiled over at Neville, "Shut up man, let's get." Harry grabbed another white shirt and buttoned it, then walked out with Neville.
~*~*~*~
"So Harry, exactly where is this Room of Requirement?" Neville asked looking at Harry.
"Just a little further." When they got to the hall where the room was Harry told Neville to wish for the party, and that the door would appear, and it did just that. As soon as they walked in they were frozen to the spot. Almost every 7th year and 6th year were in the room. They were sitting at tables drinking Butterbeer and eating little snacks. Sarah walked up from behind them and closed the door. Her hair was curly and down, with two white bunny ears on the top of her head, around her neck was a black bow tie. Her legs were covered in fishnet stockings and a garter belt on each leg. Her suit was pink. Harry goggled at her and she smirked. "Harry good to see you find a seat, you too Neville." she laughed Neville was turning a bright red; he nodded his head and walked over to a table.
"Sarah..." Harry started.
"Where's Hermione, is that what you were gonna ask me." She smiled and pointed to a corner. "She's right there, next to Lavender." Harry suddenly noticed there were another two girls in suits from Hufflepuff, another three from Ravenclaw, and probably 4 from Slytherin, not to mention that every 7th year girl from Gryffindor was in a suit. Harry finally spotted Hermione. She was wearing everything black except she didn't have a garter belt on both her legs, just on one, and her suit was black. Sarah pushed him. "Go get your thing on." she giggled and walked over to a table full of slytherins.
Harry took at seat next to Ron. "Gee look Evie." Ron said pointing to Evie who was in a red suit, Ron looked dazed.
"Hey Harry, thirsty?" It was Hermione, Harry looked up and blushed.
"Umm yeah..." Harry said, Hermione smiled.
"Here you go." She set down a small whisky cup of Butterbeer. "Sorry you don't have a lot, we had to ration It." she smiled, and took a seat next to Harry, and across from Ron.
"So what do yall have planed for tonight?" Ron asked now taking his eyes off Evie. "Evie said that yall had a surprise." Hermione nodded her head with a smile.
"Yep, it was Evie's idea; remember when Ray was talking about how Sarah use to dance. Well Evie bought her some really nice flat heel tap shoes." She laughed. "We're gonna get her to dance again, starting tonight, that's what that stage is for." Hermione said pointing to the small stage alongside the wall across from Harry. Harry eyed, and then looked back to Hermione.
"Okay everyone." Ginny had walked up on the stage. "We will be having a Karaoke contest, thanks to Evie Falcon who was kind enough to create a charm that would make electronics work." Everyone clapped and Evie smiled "The contest will be in five minuets. Here's the sign up sheet" she held up a clip board. "Sign up fast with your name and song you will be singing and get ready to show your stuff." Ron looked over to Harry.
"Oh come on Harry it'll be great. I know this American Song called the Drinking Bone, we can sing that! I don't all the words but I know the chorus!" Harry raised an eyebrow.
"Oh all right." Harry finally said. Hermione got up and smiled.
"I'll sign you guys up." Harry and Ron nodded their head, and went to talking.
*** "The Drinking bone's connected to the party bone, The party bone's connected to the staying out all night long, She won't think its funny and I'll wind up all alone, And the lonely bones connected to... The Drinking bone's connectected to the party bone, The party bone's connected to the staying out all night long, She won't think its funny and I'll wind up all alone, And the lonely bone's connected to the drinking bone!"***
Harry and Ron took their bow before everyone who was clapping; even a drunk Malfoy was clapping for them. Hermione and Sarah ran up to them. "Oh my god I didn't know you knew that song!" Sarah shouted over the noise.
"It was all Ron's idea!" Harry said taking a sip of his butter beer; Ron was smiling from ear to ear. Evie too came up and jumped on Ron, suffocating him with her kissing.
"I think she's drunk." Hermione leaned over to Sarah and muttered in her ear.
"Naw..." Sarah said waving her hand. "I've seen Evie get drunk, when she starts trying to strip then she's drunk." Hermione's eyes went wide. Sarah smiled. "Why don't you two dance!?" Sarah said pushing Hermione up to Harry.
"Sarah I don't know how to dance." Hermione said. Sarah sighed and called for Draco who came over.
"Draco's drunk enough he'll help me teach yall how to dance." She laughed and Draco came up.
"What?" Draco asked.
"Dance with me!" Sarah said.
"Well ok." Sarah put her back to Draco's chest and began to grind it with Draco. Sarah did a few body rolls, and gave him a couple kisses and that was about it.
"Ok Draco I'm done dancing." Draco nodded his drunken head and wobbled off. Sarah smiled. "That's how it's done, well in America anyway." She sighed.
"That's ok Sarah; I don't think I want to dance anyway." Harry said, Hermione looked somewhat disappointed.
"Well then I guess we need to get back to work." Hermione sighed and walked over to the bar to get more drinks. Sarah glared at Harry.
"You Jack Ass." Harry looked shocked with a face that said 'what did I do?' "Hermione really wanted to dance with you."
"Yeah well I don't feel like making a fool out of myself." Harry snapped back.
"You already did." Sarah said, she turned around and walked off.
IT had just turned 11:00, and the party was getting better and better. Pansy had tried to dirty dance with the drunken Draco, but all in vain, Sarah intervened and moved Pansy away from Draco. "He's drunk, don't do something to him he'll regret." was all Sarah had said to Pansy. Everyone was in a good mood, Karaoke was had just ended, and all the drinks were gone, now everyone was sitting and talking. Sarah and the others were just handing out the last of the snacks, when Ginny, Evie and Hermione walked on the stage; it was five minuets till New Years. "Everyone!" Ginny called out and they were silent.
"We got al lil something, something for Sarah." Evie said winking. Sarah dropped her platter and everyone laughed at her. Her cheeks were turning red. Hermione pulled a black and white box out from behind her back.
"These are for you Sarah." Hermione said. Hermione opened the box and inside was a pair of black flat heel taps. Sarah froze. Evie sniggered.
"Well come up and get em you big palooka!" Evie said and Sarah smiled walking up and taking her high heels off at the same time. "We would like you to tap us into the New Year." Evie smiled as Sarah traced a finger along the side of the left shoe.
"They're beautiful, thank you guys!" Sarah shouted giving them hugs. Everyone clapped and cheered.
"Ok we only have a minuet left! Sarah why don't you go warm up and come back up here for the last ten seconds of the year?" Ginny told Sarah. Sarah nodded a tear running down her check. Sarah took them from the box that Hermione was holding and put them on her feet. Sarah felt home with the tap shoes on her feet. Evie smiled and ran over to Sarah in the corner.
"So do you like the present?" Sarah laughed
"Do I like? Of course I love it!" Sarah gave Evie a great hug, and the two laughed.
"We wanted to find a way to make you dance again." Evie said, and told Sarah of the night that she got the letter form Sarah over Christmas Break. Sarah smiled, and by the time the story was over it was time for Sarah to get on Stage.
Everyone was dead silent waiting for Sarah to Start. She looked over to Hermione who gave Sarah the cue. Once Sarah started everyone counted down from ten to one. Sarah's feet were making a non stop tapping sound, and the taps were moving at such a fast rate. There was only one time when she went slow and that was when she did flap, heel, heel, spank back, heel, toe, heel. She ended the countdown with a time step.
"10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!" everyone shouted. Everyone clapped and jumped up and down. Sarah paused standing on stage she looked down at her feet. She couldn't do it anymore; she didn't want to kill anyone...
-----------------------------
So ends this chapter, sorry if it's short. In chapter 13 something big will go down, will Harry survive, or will he die trying to save the ones he loves? You'll have to think of what happens next, it may not be how you think it will turn out.
