Chapter 6: Halloween

"Hey, Sabrina." Padma said, at breakfast. "Would you want to go to the library and work on our Potions essay together?"

"Sure, that'd be great Padma!" Sabrina smiled at her friend. The two girls had gotten to be good friends in the few weeks Sabrina had come to Hogwarts.

Padma had sat down next to Sabrina and began to fill her breakfast plate. "So, do you have a date to the dance yet?"

"No, do you?" Sabrina replied.

"No, but we've still got a couple of weeks right? Hopefully someone will ask me before then."

"Hmm." Was Sabrina's only response. She only wanted one guy to ask her, and the chance of that happening was not very likely. "Anybody in particular that you want to go with?"

"Er, not really." Padma said. "You?"

"No. Actually thinking about going stag. You can dance with more guys that way."

"Not a bad idea."

After breakfast Ravenclaws had Defense Against the Dark Arts. Then before lunch they had a study hall, so Sabrina and Padma headed to the library.

They quickly found the books that they would need then found an empty table to work at.

They were interrupted by the sound of someone clearing their throat. The girls looked up to find Terry Boot.

"Can we help you Terry?" Sabrina asked.

"Er, well, I just wanted to asked you something."

"Okay."

"Would you go to the dance with me?" He asked.

"Oh, I'm going to go stag. Sorry Terry. But I promise to save at least one dance for you though." She answered.

"Oh, okay. That's cool. Well, see ya later." He turned and walked away.

"I don't know why you want to go stag." Padma said. "I'd rather have a date."

"Like I said, you can dance with more people this way. Get to know other people in different houses."

"Well, I guess it makes sense if you're new. Oh, good, lunch time." Padma stated, as the bell rang.

They gathered their books and school supplies, and then headed towards the Great Hall for lunch.

The rest of the day pasted quickly and Sabrina left her last class and made her way to where she and her Father lived. She threw her book bag down and sprawled out on her bed. She was tired and didn't want to get up for anything.

Not long after, she heard a knock on her door.

"Yeah?" She asked.

"Can I come in?" Severus answered.

"Sure." Sabrina replied, and reluctantly sat up.

Severus entered her room and stood in front of her. "I was just wondering how things were going? Your classes are all right?"

"Yeah, everything's great." She said.

"That's good. So, umm, do you have a date to the dance?" He asked.

Sabrina smiled. She knew there was a point to this visit. "No, I don't. I want to go stag so that way I can dance with more guys. I can get to know some other students and such."

Severus seemed to have a weight lifted from his shoulders. "Oh, good."

"Why Severus Snape! Are you getting some Fatherly instincts?" Sabrina teased her Father.

If it was a Severus Snape thing to do, this is where he would have blushed, but as it were, Severus Snape does not blush, so he glared at his daughter. Then he turned and left. Sabrina just giggled at this and laid back down, not feeling like doing her homework.

Her thoughts soon drifted to a certain blond haired boy. She sighed dreamily. True, she loved being in Ravenclaw, but that made it extra hard to catch the eye of the Slytherin sex god. Her Father being head of the Slytherin house made it a little easier at least, but it would have been better if she were just in Slytherin herself.

Sabrina began to form a plot on how to snatch Draco. She giggled again as she thought of snatching him like a snitch and how fitting it seemed with his golden hair. Halloween was drawing closer and it seemed like the perfect time to begin her plan.

----------

Hours before the Halloween ball began, Sabrina joined Padma and her roommates, Lisa, Morag, and Mandy, in their Ravenclaw dorm to get ready. After seeing Sabrina's costume, Padma had gotten a similar costume only in red, with Sabrina's permission of course. They decided that they would be Arabian Princesses together.

The girls had fun giggling and helping each other with their makeup. Mandy was going as a fairy, and went mad with the glitter. Lisa was dressing up as a sexy devil and Morag was going as cat woman.

At ten till eight they made their way down to the common room. Lisa, Mandy, and Morag left the group and joined their dates. Sabrina and Padma went on their way down to the Great Hall together. Loud music and already dancing students greeted them. The Hall was done up in true Halloween fashion. There were cobwebs, bats, pumpkins, spiders, and everything else imaginable.

Swaying her hips to the beat Sabrina made her way through the crowd.

She yelled over the music to Padma. "I'll see you later. There's something I have to do."

"Okay." Padma yelled back. She left to find other friends.

Sabrina continued her way up to the D.J. It was time to begin her plan. She handed the D.J. a c.d.

"Can you play song number two?" She asked.

He nodded, taking the c.d. "Alright, ya'll, here's a song from the Muggle singer Britney Spears."

The crowd cheered and the song 'Boom, Boom' blared out of the speakers.

Sabrina made her way across the sea of students, where a certain blond stood. Her hips swayed to the beat of the music as she neared him.

'Shout it
We're gonna go to the club and get crunk with Britney.

Shorty
She think she fine
Fine enough to blow your mind
Shorty
She think she bad
Get on the floor and shake that ass
Shorty
She think she fine
Fine enough to blow your mind
Shorty
She think she bad
Get on the floor and shake that ass.

Yeah, this is for all those Southern boys out there.

Check this out
I see you lookin' my way
And I know that
You have something to say
Watching every inch of my body
Like you wanted play.'

She tapped him on his shoulder. He turned and looked down at her. He raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"Would you like to dance with me?" Sabrina asked.

He stared at her for a second before slowly nodding his head.

"Sure." He set his drink on the table. Then Sabrina took his hand and led him to the middle of the dance floor.

'Boom boom
Boy you look so sexy
Boom boom
Boy you look so sexy
I begin to dance just a little bit
To turn you on.'

Once they reached a good spot Sabrina felt Draco's hands rest on her hips and they began to dance.

'(Yeah, I got that)

I've got that boom boom
That you want
Watching me all night long
Hurry up before its gone
I've got that boom boom
That you want
I don't think you should wait
One minute might be to late

You had caught my eye
And I wanted to get to know you
Don't be shy
I want you to come closer
So what you gonna do?
So here we go

Boom boom
Boy you look so sexy
Boom boom
Boy you look so sexy.'

Sabrina noticed how well Draco danced. Not a lot of guys knew what to do when it came to dancing. Draco's body matched hers perfectly, moving with her. She turned around so that she faced him. Sabrina noticed that he was in a very elegant prince costume.

'Pansy must be the princess.' She thought. 'Go figure. I wonder where she is anyway. Why isn't she all over Draco like usual?'

Sabrina decided to voice her thoughts. "Are you here with Pansy?"

Draco looked down at her, startled that she had spoken. "Oh, no. I told her I was coming with someone else. She didn't take it too well though."

Sabrina laughed. "Are you here with someone else?"

"No." Draco replied. "Are you?"

"No."

The song ended and faded into a slow song. Sabrina had no intention of letting Draco go so soon, so she slipped her arms around his neck. They danced in silence once more. Sabrina was so happy that her plan had worked even more perfect than she had thought. When the song ended Draco stopped.

"Do you want to go get a drink with me?" He asked.

Sabrina smiled. "Sure."

They left the dance floor and walked over to the concessions.

Draco sipped from his cup and turned to Sabrina again. "Let's go outside." He suggested.

"Sounds good." Sabrina replied.

Draco put his arm around Sabrina's shoulders and led her out of the Great Hall. Severus, who was chaperoning, eyed Draco warily as he left with Sabrina.

Outside was a bit chilly. Sabrina remembered that she didn't have much clothing on when a wind hit her as the doors opened.

"Oh, it's cold!" She exclaimed.

"Here, you can wear my coat." Draco said, taking it off.

"Thanks." Sabrina smiled, taking the coat offered.

They found a bench nearby and sat down.

"Why did you come to Hogwarts?" Draco asked.

"My Mother died." Sabrina said.

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

"It's okay."

"No one ever knew Snape had a daughter. We were shocked. And I was sure you were going to be placed in Slytherin." Draco said.

Sabrina laughed. "Yeah, he didn't know he had a daughter either. And I'm pretty sure he thought I would get placed in Slytherin too! But Mum was a Gryffindor."

Draco's eyes widened. "You're kidding! Snape with a Gryffindor?"

"I know. They met at school, but when Mum got pregnant with me she left without telling him because she didn't want to endanger me with the war and stuff. Not many people knew about them."

"Wow. So you know that he's a, well, you know, right?" Draco realized to late that maybe he shouldn't have asked.

"Oh, yeah." Sabrina stayed quiet, not wanting to expose her Father.

"My Father is too. He loves Voldemort more than me and my Mum. I used to think that his was the coolest and I wanted to be just like him." Draco said, quietly.

"And now?" She asked.

"Not anymore. I think it's stupid now. I wish that someone would just go ahead and killed Voldemort already and get it over with."

"I guess it's really bad here. We heard about it over in the States, but nothing ever really happened."

"Hey, on to a happy subject." Draco said, jokingly.

"Okay. How about some more dancing?" Sabrina missed dancing and wanted to get as much in as possible.

"I'm game. Let's go." He got up and held out his hand to Sabrina. She took it and went back into the Great Hall.

They danced for the rest of the night. At midnight when the dance was over Draco walked Sabrina to her room where they said goodnight.

Sabrina skipped into her room feeling happy and giddy. It was going to be hard to get to sleep tonight.
