The New Prophecy
Chapter 5- The Halloween Dance
Finally, the day of the Halloween Dance had arrived. The air was filled with holiday cheer, especially from the Syltherins. It was their favorite holiday (A/N: Hmm. I wonder why?)
That evening, around 7:00, Hermione and her groupies (A/N: hehe. I like that word.) Were getting ready in her room. They had kicked Draco out of the entire vicinity. He was forced to change in the Syltherin common room.
After a while, it was finally time to meet the boys. As others went down to the common room, Hermione and Pansy could hear the male grunts of approval. Pansy and Hermione had stayed behind. They decided to make the main attraction.
Pansy went down first. She was dressed as the queen of Vampires. She had a black, leather skirt, a black leather bodice, black leather knee-high boots, a black, off the shoulder shirt, and a silver choker with an actual vampire fang in it. Her hair was half up and half down. The top half was in pigtails. She also had her teeth transfigured into vampire teeth. And she had on some light make-up (A/N: you can think of that on your own, use your imagination people!).
Hermione listened as Pansy made her entrance. There were a few gasps as she descended the stairs. Soon after, Hermione decided to go downstairs.
She decided to go as an angel. She was wearing a silver, off the shoulder shirt that belled out at the bottom of the sleeves, a white bodice with black trim, a white skirt, white knee-high boots, a green choker with the Japanese symbol for tiger on it, and white wings with iridescent green in them. Her hair was half up and half down. The top half was braided and met in the back to look like a halo (AN: you know like in Romeo and Juliet with Leo DiCaprio and Claire Danes?). She put on some black eyeliner and some light make-up. She even put glitter in her hair.
Blaize and Draco, and the rest of the gang were waiting for Hermione to come downstairs. A few minutes later, they heard her footsteps on the stairs. Soon enough, they saw her feet. The anticipation was so thick that they could have cut it with a knife. Finally Hermione was all the way down the stairs.
She was a breathtaking sight. Even the guys that already had their dates were staring open-mouthed. Blaize thought that Hermione looked the part. To him, she was an angel.
Hermione gave her man the once over. He looked good. No, not good. He looked like a god! He was wearing a silver button-up shirt, white pants, the same kind of wings as Hermione, white boots, a sliver necklace with the Japanese symbol for phoenix on it. His jet black hair was spiked and he was brave enough to put some glitter in it. He earned the official Hermione seal of approval.
As the group walked to the Great Hall, Hermione stole a glance at Draco. He matched Pansy very well, only without the leather. He was wearing a black button-up shirt, black jeans, a black leather vest, black boots, he added some demon horns to his hair that were silver, he had green snake skin wings, and a silver necklace with the Japanese symbol for dragon on it. He looked hot.
Draco cast a glance at Hermione and caught her staring. She immediately turned away, a faint blush on her cheeks. He looked at her for a moment before returning his attention to Pansy and the doors to the Great Hall that were now loomed before them.
Of course, in traditional Syltherin style, they were fashionably late. They decided to go in one couple at a time. After a few couples (A/N: they went with others, remember?) It was finally time for Draco and Pansy's turn. Hermione caught a glimpse of everyone in the hall staring at the door.
Now time for Hermione and Blaize to go in. Blaize offered his arm to Hermione.
"Shall we?" he asked.
"We shall," she said in return.
When they stepped through the doors they saw the beauty of the hall. There was fog over the windows and around the tables. Along the walls there were torches, their glow enhanced by the fog made the hall creepier. There were cobwebs, bats, skeletons, and the ghosts. It was basically made to look like a dungeon. They loved it.
As Hermione and Blaize looked around, every eye was on them. This couple was the best so far. They would probably win the award for best couple.
Ron watched Hermione throughout the evening. He felt a huge spike of jealously each time she danced with a guy. He felt it should be him dancing with her. She should be his angel.
Finally, it was time for the last dance and awards. Ron had finally found the courage to try to ask Hermione to dance. But just as he was about to make his way over, Draco had gotten to her.
"Hermione," he started," as Heads, Dumbledore requests that we share the last dance together. So, may I have this dance?" He mockingly bowed to her.
"I believe you may," she said, mockingly curtsying.
Draco led her to the dance floor and began to dance. The couple was quite a site to see. She an angel, and he a demon. There was an awkward silence for a while.
"Hermione, I propose we be civil to each other. At least try to be pleasant when in the same room, ya know?" Draco asked.
"I think I do. Sure. Why not," she agreed.
As they finished their conversation, the song ended.
"As the dance comes to a close," Dumbledore began, "it is time to give out the awards. The categories are: most scary, best dressed, silliest costume, best group, and best couple."
Everyone gathered around anxiously. They knew who the best couple was, but they were still excited about the other awards to be given.
"Tonight's most scary costume award goes to Mr. Goyle, for his dementor costume." There was a polite round of applause as he went to get his award.
"The best dressed costume award goes to Mr. Potter, for his James Bond costume. A muggle hero." The applause was a little louder at this, Harry being the hero he is and all.
"The silliest costume award goes to Ms. Bullstrode for her imitation of our ex-Professor Umbridge." At the sight of Millicent the entire hall burst into laughter. She cleared her throat like Umbridge, then took her seat.
"Our best group of the evening goes to Mr. Potter, Mr. and Ms. Weasley, and Ms. Brown for their costumes and the characters from James Bond: Die Another Day." The hall rang with cheers as the group made their way to Dumbledore. Ron chanced a glance at Hermione, only to see that she couldn't care less. Disappointed, he left the stage.
"Now for our best couple. No surprise here, Ms. Riddle and Mr. Zabini for their angel costumes, very well done you two." The hall burst into the loudest cheers of the evening. Even though many people didn't like them, they still wanted them to win. They really did look like heavenly beings.
Later that night, as Blaize walked Hermione back to her room, he asked her a question:
"Hermione, I know this is a little fast, but would you be my girlfriend?" he timidly asked.
She thought it over for a moment before responding, "I would love to be your girlfriend."
Blaize smiled and kissed Hermione. As he walked back to his own room he thought, 'Let my plan commence.'
