Meeting Order members and ball Preparation
Nymphadora Tonks was sitting on one of the mismatched chairs of the night bus, and she was on her way to Hogwarts. Her hair that day was long and very dark brown. Her eyes were a shade of amber (light brown), and they looked dreamy, mainly because Nymphadora Tonks was in the middle of daydreams and thoughts. I wonder why Dumbledore paired me with Remus . . . is it that obvious that I like him? But it can't be . . . everyone else looked so surprised when he paired us. I can't seem to get the courage to tell him that I care but do I care? Is it just a stupid thought? Or do I really care? I guess that I'll find out now.
And then her thoughts were replaced by an image of her and Remus dancing in the light of the half moon for the ball. That caught her attention and she stopped thinking for a while and just dreamed . . . so she was shocked when Stan Shunpike jolted her and told her "Oo, mam, it's 'Ogwarts stop up next, okay?"
"Yes, thank you." And there was her stop, and there was . . . Remus. Her heart gave a little jump when she saw him. And next to him were who she supposed were Ron, Ginny, Hermione, and that had to be Harry, and of course, her favourite cousin Sirius. Disguised as a dog.
She waved her wand and caused her trunk to float in front of her, and went down the stairs and to the welcoming party. She mentally prepared herself will she put down her trunk and then
She was in Remus' arms, and her cousin was bounding around them like a mad thing. She felt a quick kiss and then she realized it : She was in love with Remus Lupin. Harry, Hermione, Ginny and Ron then came over to her and Remus introduced her. "Ok, everyone, this is Nymphadora-"
"Remus, if you call me Nymphadora I just might have to hex you-"
"Tonks, who would prefer to be called by her surname. Tonks, these are Ron, Hermione, Harry and Ginny, and my dog Snuffles."
"Hi," they all said.
"Hi," replied Tonks. "Nice to meet you."
Hermione and Ginny (and the watches) took a good look at Tonks and decided that she was a good person. Hermione's romantic streak thought that she and Remus made a great couple. Harry and Ron also thought that she was nice.
"So," said Tonks, "it's been a while since I was here Remus. How about you show me around?"
He met her eyes and said, "I'd be glad to." And the look in his eyes showed that he meant it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny were now heading to their first class on that Wednesday.
"What do you think about Tonks?" asked Hermione.
"She's great. I like her and she is so cool," replied Ginny.
"She's cool," said Ron. "She isn't bad, she's cool," said Harry.
"Watches?"
"She is different," replied Chanel. "She can change her shape."
"What do you meant? And how do you know?" asked Ginny.
Ayesha spoke. "We used our special sense to find out about her. She is a metamorphamagus."
Hermione gasped. "I've heard about those, they're really, really rare."
"What is that?" asked Harry.
"It means that she can change her shape at will," replied Hermione.
Chanel continued. "She's a member of an organization that Dumbledore started to fight Lord Voldemort . . .but they moved away too fast for me to find out the name."
Ginny said, "If she's in the organization, then so is Lupin. You have DADA Hermione, today right? Then you can find out."
But Ayesha totaled that plan. "WE need both sun and moon power to find out."
"They have DADA first thing right?" asked Ginny.
"Yeah, why?" answered Ron.
"Switch us," said Chanel.
"Ok," said Hermione. They exchanged watches, and then headed to DADA, while Ginny went at a more leisurely pace to Divination.
~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
What Ayesha and Hermione found out was that Tonks and Remus were members of the Order of the Phoenix, an organization which Dumbledore had founded years ago. Because of Harry's dream more members were coming in time for the ball and for the time of the attack. They should not be surprised if Order members came to the school constantly. They also found out that Remus and Tonks were not really together, but they did like each other.
The next day, Ron and Harry pulled Ginny aside and told her about the prank that Fred and George were testing on Snape.
Ginny stifled her giggles as best as she could. "And you said that they're coming to the ball to see how this prank works? Oh I can't wait to see this."
Ayesha was laughing as well. "It'll serve Snape right. I can't wait to see it!!"
"So you take this pellet, right Ginny, and then you put on your flask and say Snape, Saturday, outside during the ball," explained Ron.
"Yeah, cool." Said Ginny.
"Alright then Ginny, see you later." Said Harry.
"Bye," said Ginny.
"Bye, Ginny." Said Ron.
"Bye," and they parted ways.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "That Friday, the week before last, there was tension in the air. Last minute askings were being done, and that evening was a Hogsmeade evening. At lunch, Ginny, Hermione, and Tonks were chatting about what they were going to wear. Tonks had told them all about her being a Metamorphamagus. Now, today, she was transforming her appearance for their entertainment. She changed from Hermione, to Ginny, then to a female version of Severus Snape.
"Well," she asked, "How does this look?"
Ginny and Hermione giggled. "I don't think Snape would be pleased," remarked Hermione.
"Neither do I. But who cares?" asked Ginny.
She was in a very giggly mood because of the prank that she had played on Snape. The girls fell to talking about what they would wear.
"Tonks, what are you going to wear?"
"I don't know. I think, that I'll find something."
Ron and Harry were listening on amusedly when they heard a commotion by the door. "Who's there?" asked Ron.
"I dunno, let's go look." They stood up, and immediately saw what the commotion was about. Fleur Delacour and Bill Weasley were standing by the door. Dumbledore was going to talk to them.
"Wow, it's Fleur Delacour and Bill, did you know that they were going out?" said Harry.
"Yeah, I heard about it once or twice."
Then the two sat back down and continued eating.
The three girls stared at them and began to giggle. "Wow," remarked Tonks, "you two have them under control."
This caused them all to giggle harder.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Then, it was the day of the ball.
Everyone was tense. Girls were screaming, boys looked nervous, everyone was in shock. Remus and Tonks came back from Hogsmeade looking like they had a huge joke. Snuffles was running around barking like there was no tomorrow, and everyone was in a wonderful mood. The ball was starting at 6.30 when the moon should have risen.
Even though Severus Snape hated balls, he decided that he would at least, look half way decent, though he wasn't wearing costume. He was going to wash his hair and wear his best black robe, after; of course, he corrected the 4th year papers. He looked at Ginny Weasley's and thought that it was a mercy that she was better at potions than her brother, because otherwise he would throw a blue fit.
Ginny and Hermione, at the request of Ayesha and Chanel, disappeared into the moon chamber about two hours before the ball was to start. Inside, Hermione went with Chanel to the moon chamber, and Ginny with Ayesha to the sun.
When Hermione got inside, she gasped. At the end of the chamber, there was a fantastic mirror. At the bottom were werewolves, then middle, dancing girls, then almost the top, goddesses. Then at the very top was the full moon. The mirror was wrought in fine silver.
Hermione stared at it in awe and wonder. "Where did it come from, Chanel?"
"This mirror? Well it was mine, and now it's yours."
"Wow, Chanel, it's awesome."
"Well, I'll go into the common room, and check up on Ginny, and you get ready okay?"
"Sure."
Chanel strolled into the common room and then across to the sun chamber. Inside, Ginny was marvelling over a mirror like Hermione's except at the bottom it featured a sunbird. Then she and Ayesha went into the common room and discussed something.
"Chanel, I think that it is time to give them what we should give them, the earrings, necklace, and rings."
"Yes, they have come very far, and far enough. WE will give them."
When Ginny and Hermione emerged, they gasped. Hermione in her white dress and goddess appearance had an unearthly beauty. Her smoky grey eyes were complimented by pale grey eye shadow and black liner. She looked wonderful. Ginny also looked great, in her gold dress too looked somewhat unearthly and strange. Her eyes stood out with the rich warm gold that she had for eye shadow.
Chanel found her tongue first. "Wow, you look beautiful."
Ayesha agreed: "You look fantastic."
"Only thing is," said Hermione, "is that we have no jewellery. We couldn't find the right jewellery."
"Well, we have a surprise for you," said Ayesha. She and Chanel caused a beam of light to appear. Then from it, they pulled jewellery.
Hermione gasped as Chanel presented her with a wonderful silver choker with a pearl moon hanging from it. There was a matching ring, with a pearl moon and two tiny moonstones set on a silver band.There was a also a bracelet. Then Chanel reached up and put on a headdress, a silver chain that hung on her forehead, with tiny pearl moons hanging from it. One hung between her eyes.
Ginny, too was amazed when Ayesha presented her with a gold chain that had a diamond sun on the end. There was also a matching ring, with a diamond sun and two tiny rubies set on a gold band. There was a wonderful bracelet as well. There was a headdress like Hermione's except that hers was gold with tiny diamond suns.
"They are a presentation that shows how far you have come as a goddess. Use them well." Advised Ayesha.
"WE will," said Ginny and Hermione in unison.
"Now, I suggest that we get to the dormitory, because in ten minutes, you have to go downstairs to meet Ron and Harry,' said Chanel, smiling.
The trainers became watches, that the girls strapped on the non braceletted hand. Then they dissolved.
They got in the dormitory with five minutes to meet Ron and Harry. It was such a mess in there that their arrival was not noticed. Lavender had indeed spiked her hair and dyed it purple, lavender to be exact. She was wearing a small leather top, pants and thigh high boots. As she told Parvati "I just felt a little rebellious, Mom would never let me wear this at home . . ."
"Cool, though Lavender."
Hermione and Ginny edged their way to the stairs, but stood there for a little while to run through plans.
"ok," said Hermione, "if anyone asks me to lift the disguise outside, I'll whisper the masking spells." (By the way, the hadn't changed from goddess appearance, since that was the costume. The jewellery helps lock it there)
"Same for me." Said Ginny.
"Oh, I'm nervous," said Hermione.
"SO am I," said Ginny.
"well," remarked Chanel dryly, "this will make you even more nervous. If my time is correct, you are supposed to be downstairs, it's 6:15."
They exchanged glances nervously. Hermione pulled her shimmery scarf around her a little tighter, and Ginny checked her shoes, then they took deep breaths before they started down the stairs.
Left, right, Left right, black and white shoes, moving together. They saw Ron and Harry, before the boys saw them. Both were wearing tuxedos, and looked rather uncomfortable. They were talking : "ok, they should be here about now, let's check."
They both looked up. And together, their jaws dropped.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
CLIFFHANGER!!
I know that I said that I would change the name now, but maybe in the next two chapters. Tell me what you think, I really need reviews ok? I had to start that cute little romance, they are perfect for each other.
Leonslanna: what I meant was that he could attack Hogwarts, but he couldn't before. Not like, immediately.
