Hi guys and gals what's kicking? I can hardly wait the
release of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! I
watched Daniel Radcliffe on T.V today, oh my gosh he's so
cute! Well you know that I don't own anything so on with the
story!
(That night at dinner)
"...Happy Birthday to you!" chorused the school, singing Happy Birthday to Annabelle.
Annabelle clapped her hands and smiled a cute smile.
"With the song sung let us begin our wonderful birthday feast." Said Dumbledore clapping his hands and good foods appeared on the tables.
"Thank you so much for this Dumbledore, I'm sure she'll thank you for this when she's older." Exclaimed Harry.
"Don't mention it. The pleasure was all mine." Dumbledore mused with a smile.
Hermione fed Annabelle while Harry filled their plates.
(Hufflepuff table)
"You are so lucky to have a baby sister Caden. She's so cute!" exclaimed a second year named Belle.
"Thanks I guess." Caden responded with a smile.
"My little brother will be here next year. He's not cute and he's small and squeaks." Said Marco, getting some mashed potatoes and chicken.
"I'm sure he can't be that bad. All younger children are adorable." Tina chimed in.
Caden and Marco exchanged glances and burst out laughing. Tina looked at them surprised at their actions.
"What's so funny?" asked Tina wanting to laugh but didn't know the cause of it.
"You.. You think... that younger. Siblings are adorable.. Yeah right!" exclaimed Marco, holding his sides.
"I can say that can't I?" asked Tina offended.
"But you don't know what it's like, day after day. A baby crying in the middle of the night because she's hungry. You're the only child. I like having a baby sister but she smells sometimes and she needs more attention. Ever since mum died, dad has been paying more attention to her than me." Stated Caden after his little episode.
"Well I guess I can understand that. But give her a break, she's a baby." Said Tina, taking a sip of warm butterbeer.
Caden glared at her, but she didn't notice. After a few more minuets small cakes, cupcakes, cookies, ice cream, and candy came up for everyone to enjoy.
"This is so good. Do you want a bag for you sister or for later?" asked Tina, filling a bag for herself.
"I'm sure dad will want some more." Stated Caden filling a small bag with candy and a few cupcakes.
Right before everything washed away Caden had a big sip of warm creamy butterbeer and he stretched. Harry stood up to make one last statement.
"Thank you all for celebrating Annie's birthday I'm sure she would thank you if she could say more. Good night everyone." Said Harry as they all began to leave the Great Hall.
Caden said goodbye to his friends and he went to find his dad and Hermione. He found them taking the short cut to his room.
"Hi Caden!" exclaimed Hermione giving him a sweet hug.
"Hi Hermione. Is anyone else coming or is it just going to be us?" asked Caden as they walked through the portrait hole.
"Your grandparents are coming and three of your cousins are coming." Said Harry, putting Annabelle down.
"That's great!" exclaimed Caden when a set of twin boys with long shaggy blond hair over their green eyes burst through the fireplace making Annabelle cry. Hermione went to go and pick her up.
"What's up Caden dude! Long time no see, yah." Said the twin with the blue shirt.
"What's up Riley." Said Caden running over to him.
"Yeah little cuz, we've been off riding the bogus waves!" said twin number two name Jason.
Harry walked over to them.
"Hi guys. This is Hermione, she's my.. My.. She works with me." Said Harry not knowing what to call Hermione; she definitely wasn't a friend now that they were kind of going out.
"Cool Hermione babe. We are from California." Said Riley.
"Nice to meet you. And I'm sure you know Annabelle." Said Hermione giving her to Jason who spun her around.
"Of course we know our like smallerer cousin. She looks just like Alyssa." Said Jason sitting down when the flames turned green again and out came two adults.
"Grandma Sue and Grandpa Junie!" exclaimed Caden running into their arms.
"How are you slugger?" asked Junie.
"I'm fine. This is dad's girlfriend Hermione, she also works at the school." Said Caden.
"Hi we're Alyssa's parents although looks as though you already know." Said Sue with a scary tone.
"I'm not exactly Harry's girlfriend. We're just going out right now." Hermione corrected her in a tone that she hoped wasn't too mean or pushy.
"I see. Where is my granddaughter Annabelle?" asked Sue going around the couch when another and finally flash of green flames showed a girl around the age of the twins with jet- black hair and light blue eyes.
"Hello Carol. Jason, Riley, Sue and Junie are here. And Caden's over there and this is Hermione. She's really close to the kids and I." Said Harry pointing out everyone.
"Thanks Harry. Hello Ms. Hermione." Said Carol holding out her hand which Hermione took.
"You don't have to call me Ms. Hermione is just fine." She said and shooed her along.
"She's really sweet. I don't think that Sue likes me very much. It's not like I'm taking the place of her daughter. I mean we're not even officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet. Actually we only went on one date for that matter." Hermione said out of frustration causing her cheeks to flush pink.
"Try and make the best of things. They didn't like me until I told them that I was getting married to Alyssa. Junie practically killed me when I told them she was pregnant." Said Harry smiling.
The night went on very well except for the constant glares Sue was giving Hermione and Harry every time they made eye contact. They opened a lot more presents and some where for Caden since Carol had missed his birthday.
When the get together was over Hermione tucked Annabelle in and said her goodbye to Harry and walked Caden to his dorm room and walked silently to hers thinking of that night's events.
(The day of the ball. Three days before Christmas vacation.)
"What am I going to do. I still haven't picked out my make up or picked a hair style but I do know what I'm going to wear." Said Tina, pacing the common room.
"Just calm down. I have to go and see my dad today. Thank goodness the dance is on a Saturday." Fumed Caden, standing up and getting a cup of water.
"I hear yah. Can you both tell me what it's like since I can't go?" asked Marco, biting into an apple.
"Of course we will. I have to get going. I promised the other girls that I would do their hair for them. See you in 2 hours Caden. Bye Marco." Said Tina rushing up the steps.
"What's with girls and this whole dance thing. Dad is probrally going to call me down at any given moment to help him win Hermione over. I think he's going to make a move tonight." Caden said hopefully more than anything.
"Well see you when you get home from vacation. I can't believe we get to leave early." Mused Marco, playing with the bit of stuffing on the floor.
"Alright then mate. See you soon." Said Caden walking past a bunch of giggling girls.
'Why do they always walk in packs like that? It's very nerve wrecking.' Caden said to himself.
He reached his dads room and walked in. Harry was sitting on the couch talking to himself.
"What's wrong dad? You look terribly nervous." Caden said, sitting down next to him.
"I am. Hermione makes me feel so happy and I haven't felt that way in ten months. Well actually a year counting 2 days ago." Said Harry running his fingers through his hair.
"I understand. I'm sure Hermione likes you too. I can tell by the way she's always looking at you or the way that you two always have something to talk about." Said Caden.
"I guess you're right. You go and get ready first so that I can help you. Then help me get ready, I have to make sure that everything is perfect then I have to go and pick up Hermione." Harry whined.
Caden shook his head and left his father to think. He came back 20 minuets later with a pure white outfit. He had on a white button shirt the buttons were silver and his pants were white with silver buttons.
"What do you think dad?" asked Caden spinning around.
"You look very nice. Now it's my turn, be back in a moment." Said Harry rushing into the bathroom.
Harry came out in an ice blue outfit. His underclothes were just like Caden's but his robes were a nice ice blue color and very soft.
"Here, try some of this. Not too much or else you smell dead. And let me do something with your hair. I know it won't stay down but it would look nicer it we attempted." Said Harry wetting his son's hair and brushing through it.
Harry did the same to himself and walked him to meet Gina Longbottom at the top of the stairs. She looked very nice, her hair was cut short and had tight curls, she had on a pink glittery robe and a long white silk skirt and a light pink shirt. Caden gave her a corsage and they walked around outside before the ball started. Harry smiled and remembered what he had to do.
After making sure that everything was all right for the dance he went to get Hermione. He knocked nervously on her door. Hermione came out timidly. Harry's mouth fell open she was beautiful.
Hermione had her hair in tight gelled curls. She wore a lilac robe with bell sleeves and bell rim; she also wore a white Paisley mesh dress that rested above her knees. Her shoes were faux-suede skintight boots that came up to her knees. For her jewelry she had a single silver necklace that had a small diamond snowflake. To match her necklace she had earrings and shiny lip-gloss that she charmed to last until she went to sleep.
"Hermione you look so gorgeous." Said Harry taking her hand.
"Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself. Ready to go?" asked Hermione as a couple of 4th years pasted them.
"Um, right." Was all that Harry could say.
They walked down the hall and everyone that was out was staring at the two professors. Hermione couldn't help but smile because Harry just couldn't take his eyes off of her. Her plan was working perfectly. When they reached The Great Hall everything was just beginning, Professor McGonagall opened the door and exposed forever ice tables and chairs. Those were ice but didn't feel cold. Around the walls and in the corners there were piles of real snow and the ceiling was giving off snowflakes that disappeared before they touched the ground. There were dancing snow pixies covering things in ice that quickly melted and the table wear was silver.
"Isn't this beautiful. Odet did a wonderful job planning this." Said Hermione taking it all in.
"I agree. Here comes Caden and Gina. They look so cute." Said Harry pointing them out in a small crowd of third years.
"Oh he does look happy. Do you want to take a walk outside?" asked Hermione.
"Sure I'd love to." Answered Harry taking her hand and walking outside to the cold weather.
It was set up just like the Yule Ball. There were white light fairies in every bush and there were Christmas trees. Harry found a bench and walked over to it.
With the moon light hitting Hermione like it was, made her look almost in human. She walked over and placed a hand on Harry's face and felt him warm up instantly. Up close Harry noticed that her nails were painted in a French Manicure.
"Is there something wrong Harry?" asked Hermione.
"No, everything is alright." said Harry quickly, his cheeks burning more.
They walked around for a bit until they heard Dumbledore start to talk and then they went back in and found a table. Harry pulled a chair out for Hermione and she happily sat down.
"Good evening students. I hope that so far you are enjoying the dance. I would all hope that you give your thanks to Professor Pearson for coming up with the idea and Professor's Potter and Granger for helping put this thing together," said Dumbledore and the students clapped, "And now before we begin our night let us eat and be merry." Said Dumbledore sitting down.
"I guess it's like the Yule Ball. Here's a menu." Said Hermione passing Harry an ice blue menu with everything written in dark blue letters.
"Veggie salad and butterbeer please." Hermione said to her plate and her menu disappeared.
"Veggie salad and butterbeer too please." Harry stated.
A few moments passed and their cups filled with warm, creamy, butterbeer and their plates filled with a nice green salad with tomatoes, green olives, red onions, sprouts and big lettuce leaves.
"This is really good." Said Hermione, pouring a bit more ranch dressing on her salad.
"Yeah. Thank you for coming to the ball with me. You have no idea how much this means." Said Harry, once again his face burning.
"Don't mention it. I was going to ask you if you didn't ask me." Hermione told him and smiled.
When they finished eating Harry asked Hermione to dance. She was more than happy to. The DJ was playing Jessica Simpson's 'Take My Breath Away'. Hermione loved this song.
"I listen to this song all the time at home." Hermione said into Harry's chest. He was a lot taller than she remembered.
"Alyssa liked it too. But I don't think as much." Harry said back.
Caden watched them from afar. He was so delighted that they were dancing together.
'I'm going to have a mum sooner than I had planned. I am really too smart for my own good. Darn you stupid genetics.' Caden said happily to himself when Tina and Jeremy swished past him.
Caden got the nerve to ask Gina to dance with him. She was surprisingly short; she was about the height of Caden so he had no trouble dancing with her.
Then the music changed to Hilary Duff's 'So Yesterday'. Harry liked this song and kept dancing with Hermione. Thank goodness it was a fast song, Harry's cheeks couldn't possibly get any redder. When Hermione got too hot Harry went to go and get her a drink. While she was waiting she applied more body spray called 'winters mist' it smelled very sweet. Harry came back moments later with two bottles of iced pumpkin juice.
"Thank you Harry. I haven't had this much fun since our 7th year. But I don't remember you being there, what were you up to?" said Hermione taking a sip.
"I was sadly enough getting Alyssa pregnant." Said Harry. Hermione looked at him with a surprised face.
"Well you asked." Harry said glumly, now feeling even worse than before.
"It's alright. Sometimes we must get rid of our untamable urges." Said Hermione with a smile that made Harry feel a lot better.
"Would you like to dance or are you too tired?" asked Harry getting up and reaching out for her hand.
"I'd love to. I'm never tired." Hermione answered back.
This time it was another slow song. 'Can you feel the love tonight'. (I DON'T KNOW WHO SINGS IT).
"Caden sung this song so much when he was younger. I know the words by heart." Harry laughed.
"My youngest cousin did the same thing. But I think I've grown to like it." Hermione said.
They danced the night away. At the end of every CD, they all clapped and waited for the beginning of a new one. The ball lasted until 1 am. Most of the people who had younger kids as their dates left early because they couldn't stay up. Caden was one of those people. He walked around yawning and drinking. Finally Harry and Hermione had to take him up to bed.
(Caden's room)
"See you tomorrow ok. I'll be here to pick you up at around 10:30. So be ready." Said Harry kissing his forehead and tucking him in.
"Alright dad." Caden murmured and he rolled over.
Harry left with Hermione hand-in-hand. When they reached her door he didn't want to say goodbye.
"It has been a fun evening, thank you." Said Hermione, giving Harry a kiss on the cheek and walking into her room.
Harry placed a hand on the spot and walked absentmindedly into his room and crawled into bed.
A/N: WHAT DID YOU GUYS THINK? FINALLY I WROTE THE BALL, I'VE BEEN DYING TO WRITE IT SO I FINALLY DID! I HOPE YOU LIKE IT. SOME OF THE THINGS AREN'T THAT WELL DESCRIBED, I REALLY TRIED MY HAREDEST. WELL THREE REVIEWES PLEASE.
