"BOO!" shouted Lisa as she stood over Hermione's bed. "Happy Halloween."
"AAAAHHH" shouted Hermione, as she woke up with a start "don't do that!"
"Why not?" asked Danie "It's all in the spirit of fun on Halloween."
"You can do it, just not while I'm sleeping" responded Hermione.
"What did I miss?" asked Heather as she walked into the room carrying Danie's new cat, Diablo, in her arms.
"Nothing much. Just Lisa scaring Hermione awake." Responded Lavender.
"Ya, it was great." said Lisa with a big goofy grin on her face as she cleaned her noise and belly button piercings in front of the full length mirror.
"Really" said Heather.
It was a month later on a beautiful Friday morning, and the five girls were the only ones left in the dormitory. Danie obviously wanted to change that though. She went right up to Lavender, and stared her in the face grinning just a little. Lavender's eyes opened wide.
"Uh, yah Parvati? Coming!" and she bolted out of the room.
Danie turned to the other three left in the room, who were trying not to laugh.
"Who does everyone want to go to the dance with tonight?" She asked.
"I wanna set everyone up!" Lisa said.
"I dunno..." Hermione said.
"Oh come on," replied Lisa. "We all know you want to go with Ron!"
"What? How do you know that?" Hermione asked, snapping to attention.
"You can't stop staring at him." Said Heather.
"He can't stop staring at you" Said Danie.
"You guys just kind of fell into each other during truth or dare the other night." Lisa pointed out.
"Fine! You caught me! But he's my friend, I don't know if I'm ready to take that risk!" Hermione admitted exasperated.
"Wrong question." Heather said. "You should just ask if you're WILLING to take that risk."
"I'm still setting the two of you up for the dance." Lisa said.
"Only if I can set you up with someone." Hermione said.
"Hey, you're beginning to sound like us now!" Danie said.
"I'll take that as a compliment." she replied.
"Those earrings have transformed you my dear!" Heather said, putting on a typical fake gypsy accent. Everyone laughed.
"Fine you can set me up. But no losers that no one wants to go with!" Lisa said.
"How about Harry?" Hermione asked, glancing at Lisa sideways. "He's in high demand these days."
"What?! Can't you see that I DON'T like him?" Lisa shouted.
"Only because he reminds you of Tristan." Heather pointed out.
"Yah..." Lisa thought for a minute. "Fine. But he can't get any expectations."
"I'll make sure he knows that." Hermione said, pulling on a T-shirt.
"What about you Heather?" asked Lisa.
"I trust you. Surprise me." Heather said, touching up her nail polish.
"And Danie?"
"Please don't. I don't feel like going with anyone." Danie said, playing with her belly button ring.
"Alright. Heather, you're just gonna love who I've got in mind!" Lisa said.
"Tell me!" Hermione said.
"Me too!" Danie said.
So Lisa, Danie and Hermione went into the corner and began to whisper. Sometimes they peaked up at Heather, who was looking at them intently. Suddenly the group burst into giggles, and they separated back to their beds, all looking at Heather.
"What?" asked Heather. No one answered. "What?" she asked again, more intently.
"You're just going to have a blast at the dance!" squeaked Hermione, then walked out of the room, still giggling.
"Why do I get the feeling that having you surprise me wasn't a good idea?" asked Heather.
"I don't know!" giggled Lisa, and followed Hermione out of the room, with Danie stifling laughter behind her.
"This is going to be one long dance." Heather thought to herself as she pulled on her robe over top of her clothes, fixed her hair and make-up and followed the girls out of the room.

"Man these books are heavy!" commented Heather as she walked into Charms: the last class of the day.
"Don't think about the weight of the books." Said Lisa. "Think about who I'm asking to the dance for you!"
"Are you ever going to drop it? I DON'T want to think about it or else I'm going to start thinking you're setting me up with your bro or something!" Heather said, tired of saying the same thing over and over again.
"Okay..." Lisa said.
"Settle down class!" squeaked Professor Flitwick just then. "We're going to continue our practice of the mimicorian charm!"
"Fun, making things look like something else!" Heather said once every one had gone to work.
"How powerful do ya think you'd have to be to make this spell work in the great hall?" asked Lisa.
"Actually, it was the four founders combined who bewitched the ceiling." said Hermione, who was still trying to make her block of wood show the Whomping Willow.
"Cool." said Heather. "Sky to Block Mimicorian! Cool!" Heather said.
She had indeed made something appear on her block, but it wasn't the sky. Two people sat by a fireplace, one on her knees, the other, a man, in a chair. The woman on her knees was saying something, but no sound came out of the block of wood. She was almost a beach blonde, with blue eyes. For a minute Heather thought she looked almost like -
BOOM! Neville had made his block of wood turn into a fireball.
"Only Neville..." mumbled Hermione, who said a spell and turned the fireball to ice, which fell and crashed onto the desk.
"I think that's enough for today class!" squeaked Flitwick once the mess had been cleaned up. "Due to the fact that you will be attending the Halloween Dance tonight, I won't assign you any homework! Have fun!"
The class exploded into cheers. The only homework that had been assigned to them all day was from Snape, and it wasn't much. Two inches of parchment on the anti-intoxicant spell due Monday. Over all, it had been a good day.
"I'm going to go talk to Harry about the dance tonight." Said Hermione as they exited the room.
"I'll go talk to Ron," said Danie.
"I'll go find your mystery date Heather!" said Lisa, nudging Heather in the ribs, who winced.
"I'll just go and do the potions homework and get ready for the dance tonight. We only need our dress robes, right?" Heather asked Hermione.
"Yea, that's what most people wear." Hermione replied.
"Alright then. Why don't I take your guys' books upstairs so you don't have to lug them around with you?" Heather offered, and was immediately loaded down with books and book bags.
"You okay with all of that?" asked Lisa.
"Yah, I'll manage. Go you guys!" Heather said, and the other three took off in different directions.
"See ya." Heather said more to herself than anyone. She organized herself so that she could walk normally, and headed towards Gryffindor Tower.
****
"Harry! Wait up!" Hermione called across the hallway.
"Hey Hermione. What's up?" Harry replied.
"How'd you like a date to the Halloween Dance tonight?" Hermione asked him.
"Um, I think Ron wants to go with you." Harry said uncomfortably.
"Not ME, silly." Hermione said rolling her eyes. "Lisa."
"Oh. I thought she hated me."
"Only because you remind her of her boyfriend in the other dimension." Hermione said.
"Right, I saw the picture a while ago."
"Well will you go with her?" Hermione asked, getting exasperated.
"Yah, sure." Harry decided.
"Great!" Hermione said. "See ya later in the common room then?"
"Sure."
****
"Ron!" Danie said, panting. "Do you always walk this fast? Ron!"
"Yea?" Asked Ron, turning around.
"You like Hermione, right?"
Ron's ears turned red as he began to blush. "How'd you know?"
Danie rolled her eyes. "It's obvious to the world that you two like each other. Anyway, have you asked her to the dance tonight yet?"
"No."
"Alright, I'm setting ya up. Meet us later in the common room, okay?"
"Uh, alright." Ron's ears were practically scarlet.
"Later dude!" Danie said, and ran off.
"Weird girl." Thought Ron to himself, then continued down the hall towards the Library.
****
Lisa was running up flight after flight of stairs. Finally she reached the top, panting.
"Password?"
"Therestral" Lisa said, out of breath.
The door swung open, and she climbed through. Everyone in the Slytherin common room stood up at the sight of her.
"How'd you get in here?" Demanded Pansy.
"I have connections." Lisa said. "Is Draco in here? I need to talk to him."
Pansy glared at Lisa.
"Why?"
"Dumbledore sent me." Lisa lied. "I need to talk to him, before he loses his rank as prefect."
Pansy's eyes went wide. "MALFOY! GET DOWN HERE! IT'S IMPORTANT!"
Draco thundered down the stairs. "What's wrong? What - oh." His eyes rested on Lisa. "What are YOU doing here?"
"Dumbledore sent her! I think you're in trouble!" Pansy said, panicking.
"Oh really? What's so important?" Draco asked, eyeing Lisa carefully.
"Step out here please." Lisa said, motioning towards the door. "I need to talk to you alone."
Once they were outside the door and down a couple flights of stairs, Lisa stopped.
"Dumbledore didn't send you, did he?" Draco said furiously.
"No, but I have a proposal for you. You probably don't have a date to the dance tonight, do you?" said Lisa, looking at her nails.
"No."
"Thought so. So I figured I'd set you up on a blind date."
"Absolutely not." Draco began to walk away.
"Come on, please? I'm your twin, I've been missing for sixteen years, don't you think you owe me one little favor?" Lisa asked, giving him a puppy dog look.
Draco looked at his sister, and sighed. "Maybe you should've been put into Slytherin, your guilt trips are amazing. Fine, but just don't announce it to the world, okay?"
"Deal." Lisa said.
"Who's the girl?"
"Oh, you'll find out!" Lisa said, going back down the stairs. "Just meet us at the entrance of the Great Hall, okay?"
"Fine!"
"AAAAHHH" shouted Hermione, as she woke up with a start "don't do that!"
"Why not?" asked Danie "It's all in the spirit of fun on Halloween."
"You can do it, just not while I'm sleeping" responded Hermione.
