Chapter 16: The Ball
The next week went by really fast. Dumbledore found out about the fight between Hermione and Pansy not to mention a few other fights that happend between Slytherins and Gryffindors. So because of these fights, Dumbledore decided to make the Slytherin's and the Gryffindor's have all of the same classes in hopes of improving their inter house relations. This didn't seem to bother the two houses that much because all anybody cared about was the ball.
It was Saturday evening and only three hours until the ball. Hermione and Luna met up with Ginny, Lavender and Parvati in their Gryffindor dorm room.
There were frantic girls all over the place. Some looking for assecories, some looking for makeup and some were panicking because they didn't know what to do with their hair.
"Yous think it was these girls' wedding day," Ginny exclaimed.
"Well, shall we get started?" Parvati asked.
"Absalutly," Lavender replied.
They decided to do their hair first, then put on their dresses second and then their makeup last.
It took the girls two hours and fortyfive minutes to get ready. The time was well worth it though.
Lavender wore a white bliaut silk dress that flowed past her feet and had large drapy sleeves. The v-neck line and v-waist line were trimmed in gold venice lace. Her hair was pulled back into a bun. She wore gold eyeshadow and a gold mask.
Parvati wore the same style of dress but her dress was trimmed with light blue lace and each sleeve had a blue laceed band around the upper arm. She left her hair down and wore light blue eyeshadow and a light blue mask.
Luna wore a crushed white velvet dress with a princess neckline and chantilly lace drappy sleeves. The sleeves were a see through light pink and the bottom of the dress and sleeves were trimmed in a dark pink lace. The front of the dress had a light pink string on top of it that criss crosses down and tied in the middle of her waist. It was sort of like a corset. Her hair was down in light ringlets. She wore pink eyeshadow and her mask was half light pink and half dark pink.
Ginny wore a white chiffon gown that flowed to the bottom of her feet. It had long sweep chiffon sleeves that hung off her shoulders a little. In the middle of each upper arm was a peach colored rose band tied around the the arm causing the upper part of the sleeve to pouf. It had a peach sheered waist. She changed her hair color to dark brown and put it all up in a clip with a few ringlets hanging down and she wore a tiara made of peach colored roses. She wore peach eyeshadow and her mask was peach colored.
Hermione wore a red silk jaquard with a white charmeuse under layer and flowing red silk chiffon sleeves. The jaquard had a slit in the front that went up to her chest. It had a v-neck line with a white inset. There was gold trimming along the neckline, the chest line, the middle of the upper part of the sleeves and down each side of the slit. The dress flowed a little past her feet. She wore her hair down in soft ringlets and wore a gold band that rested on the top of her head and had a red diamond dangling in the middle of her forehead. She wore gold eyeshadow and her mask was gold also.
Everyone's masks covered their whole face except for their eyes and lips.
The girls decided to head down to the Great Hall. Parvati and Lavender caved in and were going with Dean and Seamus. Luna was already going with Ron so it was just Ginny and Hermione going alone. The other girls agreed not to tell anybody who Hermione and Ginny were.
When they got to the Great Hall Hermione and Ginny seperated from the others.
"Wow! This place looks great!" Ginny exclaimed.
"Yeah, the prefects did a wonderful job."
There were orange and black lights everywhere. There were bats flying around the ceiling. The ceiling was dark with a full moon. There was a giant fake spider in one of the corneres of the room which scared the crap out of Ron. There was also small flying pumpkins with candels in them. The food table was off to the right side of the room. There were about 25 small 4 person tables towards the back of the room and the stage was up were the teachers table usually was. Dumbledore decided on a DJ for the music.
The last of the students filed in and Dumbledore stood to speak.
"Welcome students to an evening of fun and romance. Tonights dance will end at midnight which is the exact same time that your masks will be removed. Enjoy your evening," He finished and the music started.
"Why am I here?" Draco asked.
"So you can have fun," Blaise replied while looking for a certain someone.
"Doing what? Dancing with a complete stranger?"
"Thats the whole point idiot," Blaise said while finally spotting that certain someone.
"Whatever."
The doors to the Great Hall swung open. In walked a person wearing a puke green queen type dress. It had bows and ruffels everywhere. The person was wearing a giant crown and a puke green mask.
"Pansy," Draco and Blaise said together. They both started to laugh along with almost everybody else.
"What an idiot," Hermione said while laughing at Pansy.
Hermione and Ginny walked over to the refreshment table to get a glass of punch.
Hermione was about to get herself a glass of punch when someone grabbed it for her and gave it to her.
"Thankyou," She said while glancing at the person. It was a guy. He was wearing black slacks, a silver silk dress shirt and a silver mask. His hair was short and brown with blond highlights and it was spiked. He was muscular and had amazing ice blue eyes. He smiled at her.
"No problem...."
"Amy," Hermione said giving him her 'name'.
"No problem Amy. I'm Matt."
"Nice to meet you."
"What the hell is she doing?" Matt's friend asked while pointing to Pansy.
Pansy was trying to dance sexual but the dance looked more like a monkey mateing ritual.
"Dancing the Pansy-I'm-a-pig-look-at-me dance," Hermione stated while mimicking Pansy.
Matt, his friend and Ginny started laughing.
"That was a good one," Ginny said while giggling.
"Who are your lovely friends Matt?" The friend asked.
"I'm Amy and this is Lily," Hermione said.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Kevin," He took each of their hands and kissed them.
Another fast song came on. Ginny grabbed Kevin's hand and took him to the dance floor.
"Shall we?" Matt held his hand out to Hermione. She smiled and took his hand. He led her to the dance floor and they started to dance.
---------------------------------------
"If Harry brakes Ginny's heart, I swear I'll kill him," Ron stated. He was in a huff about what Harry was doing.
Harry was at a table with Melinda who was flirting uncontrollably with him. What got to Ron was that Harry was flirting right back.
Luna looked over at the dance floor and saw Ginny and Hermione dancing with two really hot guys.
"I assure you Ron that Ginny is doing just fine. Not to mention Hermione," Luna said proudly and quite sweet.
"I hope your right."
-----------------------------------------
Hermione and Ginny danced the night away with Matt and Kevin. They were having the time of their lives. Only Ginny knew who these two boys really were.
"May I have your attention," Dumbledore started. Everyone turned to look at him. "I hope that you have enjoyed your evening. We will now play the last song. As soon as it is done your masks will be magically removed. That is all," Dumbledore finished.
The students headed to the dance floor. Ginny with Kevin and Hermione with Matt. Matt put his arms around Hermione's waist and she put her arms around his neck. The song started.
Pride can stand a thousand trials
The strong will never fall
But watching stars without you
My soul cries
Heaving heart is full of pain
Oooh, oooh, the aching
'Cause I'm kissing you, oooh
I'm kissing you, oooh
Touch me deep, pure and true
Give to me forever
'Cause I'm kissing you, oooh
I'm kissing you, oooh
Hermione snuggled into Matt's chest.
"I've had a great time tonight," Matt whisperd in Hermione's ear.
Where are you now
"Me too. I dont want it to end."
Where are you now
"It doesn't have to." Matt lifted Hermione's chin and kissed her passionatly.
'Cause I'm kissing you
The two broke apart. Hermione recognized that kiss, that passion.
"Malfoy," She whispered.
I'm kissing you. oooh
"Who did you call me?"
The song ended and Hermione covered her face just as her mask came off.
"I'm so sorry." Hermione ran out of the hall as fast as she could.
Draco turned around to look at Blaise. Ginny covered her face before Draco could see it and ran after Hermione.
"What the hell!" Draco shouted.
