Chapter 4- Plans for a Dance

The Next Day

It was an hour before breakfast and Roger, Angelina and the prefects were sitting at the Gryffindor table working on the last few details before they had to tell the rest of the school about the dance. They just had to ask Dumbledore a couple things and they would be all set.

"Do I have to sit here?" whined Draco.

"Yes," Angelina said.

"But it's the Gryffindor table," complained Draco. "People will look at me all weird."

"Get over it Draco," replied Hermione. "Besides, how else would we finish planning the dance?"

"Wait outside. Or sit at a different table. Or maybe we could have sat on the floor," Draco said.

When the teachers finally started walking in, they started to look for Dumbledore. When he finally walked in, Angelina called him over.

"Professor, we have a couple problems," Angelina said. "We're having a muggle theme, but we aren't sure if we'll be able to find all of the decorations in Hogsmeade. The other problem is that we don't know how we'll be able to play muggle music."

"You will be allowed to go to Hogsmeade to get decorations. However, if you can't find all the decorations in Hogsmeade, you will be allowed to buy the rest in muggle London. You will also be allowed to transfigure decorations or borrow muggle items from the students that are muggle-born. As for muggle music, I will try to charm on what the muggles call a DJ table. If I cannot do that, I do happen to have a rather useful invention that is similar to the muggle boom box, but is charmed to work in places like Hogwarts. Does that answer all of your questions?" Dumbledore asked.

"It does Professor. Thank you," Angelina said.

"How is everybody going to get their costume?" asked Draco, who, at the moment, was oblivious to the fact that people were giving him strange looks.

"Hogsmeade," Ernie answered. "Where else would they get their costumes?"

"Good point. People are looking at me all funny," Draco stated.

"What'd you expect? You are sitting at the Gryffindor table. They're probably trying to figure out why a Slytherin is at the Gryffindor table in the first place," Padma pointed out.

"Right. I knew that," Draco said.

Dumbledore waited until all students were sitting at their tables before giving the morning announcements.

"We have one announcement for this morning, concerning a school event," Dumbledore said, looking at the prefects and the head boy and girl. They walked up to the staff table and faced their classmates after looking at each other nervously.

"Thank you Professor," Roger said. Dumbledore just smiled and motioned them to tell the school about the dance.

"This year, we're having a Halloween Dance. Everyone has to dress up as something from the muggle world- a character from a book, movie or TV show, or as a muggle singer or athlete. You should be able to find your costume at Hogsmeade," Roger continued.

"If you don't want to go to the dance, or if you don't want to show up without a date, then you will be able to go to a costume party that will be going on in each of the house common rooms," Draco said.

"You can only go to one or the other," Ernie said. "So you won't be allowed to go the party in your common room, and then go to the main dance in the Great Hall if you get bored at the common room party."

"And if anyone has any questions, especially if you need help with your costumes, then you can ask one of us," Padma finished.

Nobody had any questions about the dance, so they went back to their tables and listened to their friends talk quietly about the dance.
