Chapter 3: The Halloween Ball
"Parvati," Alex yelled ,"There is no way I am going to wear this."
Alex, Parvati, Lavender, Hermione, and Ginny were in the girl's dormitories, since there classes were out for the day. Next to a heap of clothes. Cam had her choices narrowed down, but Alex was refusing to even consider wearing anything Parvati had taken out for her.
"I was really hoping to get to look around the castle," Alex continued, "I'll just throw something on later."
"Hey," Cam said, "You can't say that these costumes reek. They're beautiful."
"But Alex didn't say that they reeked," Ginny said, "She just said that she'll throw something on later."
"Hey what are you wearing, Ginny," Hermione asked.
"I got this outfit," Ginny anwsered ,"The set includes these blood red pants with scales on them and a matching top with dragon wings coming out of the back. A red mask covering her eyes is in in the set too."
"That sounds cute," Hermione said, "Going with Harry?"
"Yeah," Ginny anwsered blushing slightly.
"There are a lot of stories on about you and Harry going out on ," Alex said.
"What's ?" Lavender asked, a confused expression on her face.
"Oh, It's this website where people write stories about characters from books, movies and other stuff. You guys are in the Harry Potter section."
"Oh that's beautiful," Parvati gushed looking at a costume looking like the one Jasmine wore in Aladdin. Then she sighed and said, "Just pick something, Alex."
"Hey, I'll go as a goth," Alex anwsered, "Wich I already am dressed as."
"Whatever," Parvati said defeated.
At 6:00 after a tour of the castle, the group changed and went to the Great Hall for the ball. The hall was beautifully decorated with floating candles, balloons, pumpkins, apple bobbing buckets and on the side was a long buffet table. It looked like an indoor carnival.
They all ran towards different directions bumping into various people.
Alex spotted Harry by the punch and walked over,"Hey!"
"Hey yourself," said Harry.
"This is the ball?" Alex asked, "I pictured it a little differently."
"Oh, no. This is just the party before the ball. The ball is in a hour," Harry anwsered.
"Party before a ball?" Alex asked.
"As headboy, I thought we needed some fun before the ball," Harry explained, "Is that your costume?"
"Ummm. Well not e-"Harry cut Alex off.
"I'm a vampire," Harry told Alex.
"I could tell," Alex anwsered, "I have some questions about your 6th and 7th years at Hogwarts. In the muggle world, only the first 5 books are out."
"I can't really help you there-"
"C'mon," Alex said.
"Are you up for a dare,"Harry suddenly asked.
"So, if I do the dare you're going to anwser my questions?" Alex asked.
"Yeah," said Harry looking up at Professor Snape stiffly sitting on the high table by himself, "Do you sing?"
Alex followed Harry's gaze, "No can do."
Harry nodded, "Well then, Cya later."
He walked away to Ron, who was apple bobbing. Alex helped herself to some food.
Meanwhile, Cam was with Hermione. They were in the pumpkin carving contest. Cam had finished early with 5 minutes left till time was up, but that was only because she had messed up her pumpkin. She just sat there looking at Hermione's pumpkin for a while. Then she spotted a pumpkin that looked like a president with an orange face. A blond girl wearing a maid outfit was just placing a top hat on her pumpkin. She wore a necklace made of bottlecaps. and little peices of what looked like real fruit was hanging from her neck.
When the winner was anounces, she had one. Cam walked over to congragulate her.
"Hi," she said.
"Cam?" she asked.
"Yeah,how do you know my name?" Cam asked.
"Ginny told me about you and your sister," the girl anwsered ,"Apparently both of you personalities are very different."
"Back home a lot of people say that," Cam told the girl, "What's you name?"
"Luna," the girl anwsered.
Right then a voice rang through the ball. It was Dumbledore asking everyone to go to the sides of the hall. Then, with a swish of his wand, the applebobbing, and rest of the carnival, (expect for the candles), were gone and a ballroom appeared.
A few couples walked out into the dance floor. Among them were Harry and Ginny and Ron and Hermione. All the teachers were dancing.
A few minutes later Luna was on the floor with Neville and Cam was by herself.
"Care to dance?" a blond boy dressed in a men in black type of outfit asked.
"Sure," Cam anwsered.
Alex was watching Cam dance with Draco Malfoy. Why was with her sister and bad guys?
She turned her head and noticed Harry speaking to a reluctant looking Ron and laughing Dean.
Ron seemed to nod his head and Dean turned and walked over to Dumbledore, who after listening to what Dean was saying, smiled and nodded.
The music got a lot quieter and Dean stood on some box and said, "Hello ladies and gentlemen. My friend Ron here," Ron left Hermione and still looking reluctant got up on the the box, "Will sing a song to a very special person."
Hermione's face glowed.
Ron took the mike, "This person helped with my homework and tutored me since the beginning of this year," Hermione was beaming, "So I would like to say thankyou to Professor Snape."
Hermione's jaw dropped.
Ron stared singing:
Yo Snape, you da man,
You help me, whenever you can,
Ron singing in his Tae Kwon Do outfit doing a horrible impression of Jackson's moonwalk trying to soung like a rapper was too much. The whole thing was funny and to Alex, seeing Hermione fume made it more funny.
And I want you to know,
That I love the help,
It's as good as kelp,
As good as kelp??? Snape didn't look too happy about that last comment.
I know you don't drool,
'Cause your too cool.
The hall burst into applause. Even Professor McGonnagal was smiling freely. Snape had slumped low in his seat.
But, no one saw Hermione for the rest of the night. Cam and Alex forgot all about her, and so it seemed did the rest of the castle.
Thankyou for reviewing lilcycomonkey, prettypinkpeacock, and californian gal!
