This chapter is about the Halloween party and the exciting news which Parvati gets!
"How do you wear this thing?" asked Ginny to Parvati who was now examining the sari.
"It's easy you know," replied Parvati
"What about the top?" asked Ginny who was still staring at the sari.
"Well the length of the top is short, nowadays it is designed in a very unique way, if you want you can wear straps, ban due, sleeve less, one shoulder or off shoulder, half sleeves, the back of the top could be in ropes, or rather backless or even strings that's your wish" replied Parvati "and of course inside it is sort of a skirt I mean it's the lining if the sari in the shape of a skirt"
"Ginny I think so you should wear sleeve less, I mean you will look really pretty" continued Parvati
" Ok I guess you know the best," said Ginny
Some time passed but then….
"Oh my god! Parvati this is so difficult to wear," said Ginny who was know trembling with her sari.
"Relax Ginny wait I'll help you" replied Parvati
"I will fall," cried Ginny
"No you wont!"Said Parvati who was know helping Ginny to wear her sari
"Paravtiiiiiiiiiii"cried Ginny again
"Shut up! Ginny if you keep on jumping like that I wont be able to…."replied Parvati in an angry voice.
"There you go you are ready," said Parvati in a satisfied voice.
"Hey this outfit is not that bad as I thought" said Ginny who was turning around and looking at her sari
Ginny, was wearing a black color transparent sort of a sari, with a sleeve less blouse having a deep back, the blouse had silver color sequence on the neck line and at the back line of the blouse. Parvati was also wearing a black color sari (since it was Halloween) with a strap blouse but her sari did not have any sequence because it looked pretty with out it!

IN THE GREAT HALL
"Did you imagine it to be bad Ginny?" asked Parvati while going to the great hall
"No but then the description sounded funny you see" replied Ginny
Ginny and Parvati reached the great hall to their surprise nearly every one was present they thought as though they were the only ones who came late. Hermione welcomed Ginny and Parvati.
"Hi Ginny Hi Parvati!"Greeted Hermione
"So this is a sari, it looks cool I mean out standing" continued Hermione
Hermione was wearing a black color off shoulder gown, which had a bow in the middle.
"You look pretty you see" said Parvati
"Yeah! You do," agreed Ginny nodding her head.
"I don't think so!"
All three of them turned to see who spoke, it turned out be Ron!
Though Ron was wearing only a casual T-shirt and Jeans (Black of course) he was looking cute.
Hermione's mouth was open.
"What do you mean Ron?" asked Hermione in an angry way.
"I meant what you heard," replied Ron as though very proud of himself.
"Ron you…"stopped Hermione
"Oh hi Harry!" said Hermione ignoring Ron.
Ron turned to see Harry, Harry was standing behind him and Harry too was dressed in black (casually) and was looking very cute in deed.
"Hi Hermione! You sure are looking pretty!" said Harry looking at Ron in a convincing way
"I am afraid Ron doesn't think so," said Hermione.
Hermione walked away from there angry and disappointed.
"Hermione wait up!" called Ginny and Parvati together
They too went behind Hermione to make her comfortable.
"Ron you like her common admit it!" said Harry now standing in front of him.
"Like her are you mad?" shouted Ron
"Look Ron you are very lucky to have a girl like Hermione in your life, think about me I don't even any girl to fight with" said Harry
"Why don't you go fight with Hermione? But then I fight with Hermione"said Ron
"Every one has got some girl in their life but then when will I find the girl of my dreams!" said Harry in a squeaky voice.

"I wish Hermione is all right," said Ginny
"Don't worry she will be.."Said Parvati
Ginny and Parvati turned their heads up to see the decoration for Halloween party as some selected students were given the responsibility to decorate the great hall all by themselves and they were amongst them!
"Do you think the decoration is all right?" asked Parvati confused.
"I don't know?" replied Ginny blankly "I hope Professor Flit wick likes it," continued Ginny
The great hall was decorated with plenty if Bats hanging on the ceiling that was the only thing the great hall was decorated with!
Ginny and Parvati had got their answer they were called by Lavender send by professor Flit wick to meet him. Ginny and Parvati reached the teacher's table they saw Professor Flit wick sitting in one far corner of the table.
"Professor you called us?" said Parvati
"Of course I did! What do expect me to sit here and gaze at the silly decoration?" shouted Professor Flit wick
"Listen now both of you will change the decoration and please reduce the number of bats in the ceiling and add a little pumpkins up there it looks very odd you know!" said Professor Flit wick
"Ok! Professor" replied both of them together.
"Ginny you go that side and will go this side…ok!"Asked Parvati
"Yeah ok.."Said Ginny nodding her head
"If my sari keeps coming in my way like that I won't be able to decorate properly," said Parvati
Parvati had tucked the rest of her sari (known as Palu in India) in her waist and then went away to the other side to decorate.
Ginny standing on the teacher's table could see the whole crowd enjoying themselves and engrossed in the party and not caring a dam of the decorations. Ginny had just raised her wand in mid-air when her eye had spotted Draco along with his friends Blaise, Derrick, Crab be and Goyle.Ginny felt like climbing off the table and giving Draco a tight slap!
"Forget it!" said Ginny to herself
Ginny tried many times to say the spell but then was always interrupted by the irritating Palu.Ginny tried to avoid it many times but then it always resulted in failure.
"I should have told Parvati to tuck it for me also" said Ginny to herself in a depressed voice.
Ginny waited for a minute or so then said to herself "I better put it by my own self"
Ginny was about to tuck it when she saw Draco smiling at her in a weird way, Ginny ignored him, she tucked it in such a way that the whole curve of her waist could be seen (she had a very sexy waist in deed!)
"What a sexy waist!" said Draco to himself
"My waist?" asked Blaise to Draco.
"Shut up why will I call your waist sexy?" asked Draco to Blaise in an irritated way "Mind your own business!" said Draco
Draco kept looking at Ginny's waist and wondered weather how on earth she had such a sexy waist! Blaise interrupted him by snapping in front of his eyes.
"What are you starring at?" asked Blaise
"N…N…Nothing, Nothing at all" lied Draco.

"Finally over" said Ginny looking up at the pumpkins and the bats
"Know it looks much better!" said Parvati joining Ginny
"Now can we go and have Dinner?" said Parvati with the look on her face like as though she was very hungry.
"Yeah sure!" said Ginny "even I am feeling very hungry"
"Why didn't you tuck it out yet?" asked Parvati while going down the teacher's table.
"What? "Asked Ginny confused
"The Palu?"Said Parvati.
"It's coming in my way so I thought it's much better this way" said Ginny
"Where is your prank master?" asked Parvati staring at Ginny
"Who?" said Ginny
"Draco you fool!" said Parvati
"I don't know and neither do I care!" said Ginny remembering the way he had smiled at her.
They had their dinner and were they were enjoying a lot.
"What a lovely party!" said Parvati sitting and looking at the crowd dancing.
"Exactly it's a wonderful party!" said Ginny agreeing
"I feel like dancing Ginny," said Parvati
"So go and dance," said Ginny looking at her in a very funny way
"Ginny I need a partner to dance with, Even Ron and Hermione are dancing together!" said Parvati staring at Ron and Hermione.
"Can I dance with you?"
Parvati looked up to her great surprise it was Blaise!
"Am I dreaming?" said Parvati feeling Blais's hand
"No you are not," said Blaise staring at Parvati in a very odd way
"I would love to dance with you!" said Parvati happily.
"Excuse me Ginny" said Parvati and went on the dance floor along with Blaise
"Can I dance with you?"
Ginny shifted her eyes from Parvati and Blaise and saw that it was Draco!
"Dance with you?" said Ginny with her eyebrows up
"Not you!" said Draco
"I asked Pansy who is standing behind you Ginny!" he continued
"Can I dance with you Pansy?" said Draco clearly.
"Oh of course! Yes"-said Pansy blinking her eyes
Pansy held out her hand for Draco.Draco kissed her hand and brought her to the dance floor and danced with her.
"He is such an Idiot!" said Ginny to herself.
After a minute or so ginny felt very bored and a very lonely person present in the great hall (the others were dancing).
Ginny left the great hall and the party she sort of felt peaceful when she left the party. Ginny walked out of the castle and walked towards the lakeside, she had her arms crossed and was rubbing her arms as it was a windy day. Ginny felt the cold breeze slap her face, Her hair was flying, and she looked like an angel.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
There in the great hall Draco was dancing with Pansy and was….
"U…Ummm…Pansy I've got to go" said Draco trying to leave his hand from Pansy's
"No you can't leave me like this" said Pansy trying to catch his hand tightly
"Shut up! I didn't tell you I am going dance with you forever!" said Draco trying to free his hand
Pansy was trying to lean on him.
"Get lost Pansy you slut!"Said Draco pushing her.
"How could he?" said Pansy with her mouth open.
Draco walked away from the party.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"It sure is cold today.."Said Ginny rubbing her arms.
The wind started to turn even wilder.
"I'd better go from here," said Ginny
Ginny started walking backwards.
"Feeling cold Weasley"
Ginny turned to see who was it, But it was too late she crashed the person before she could see who it was. Ginny tumbled back and tried to steady herself but could not as the sari would not let her. But before she could fall strong firm hands caught her by the arms and steadied her. Ginny's hair was on her face and it hid the vision of the person who had saved her, before she could move her hair from her face the person slowly slid her hair behind with his index finger, Ginny's hair was still flying she still was looking like an angel under the moonlight, this sight of her's brought a smile on Draco's face. But the sight of Draco's brought a frown on Ginny's face.
"You?" screeched Ginny in amazement jerking his hand away.
"Being hot tempered is really bad you know," said Draco crossing his hands and smirking.
"Why aren't you dancing with that Par kin slut of yours'?" said Ginny who had her hands on her waist (the Palu was still tucked in)
"You and your Pansy" said Ginny
Ginny was trying to go from there but then Draco caught her hand and turned her towards him that they were so close to each other that there was hardly an inch difference he caught Ginny in such a way that his hand was behind her waist, both of them looked deep into each others eyes (since they were very close) Draco was not exactly smiling but then he was sort of smirking he sure did cute thought Ginny. Ginny did not make any effort to free her. Draco slowly slid his hand on Ginny's waist and then removed the Palu and Ginny could not do anything except look into his eyes.
"Next time never tuck that thing what ever you call it" whispered Draco in Ginny's year
"I don't want everyone to see your sexy waist"Draco whispered again
"If you want to wear this thing then I guess you should learn how tuck this thing so that the curve of your waist can not be seen"Draco continued.
Ginny then realized what had actually happened. Ginny then pushed Draco a bit far from her.
"How could you…"stopped Ginny
"And what do you mean by everyone not seeing my waist" said Ginny starring at Draco in an unusual way.
"I meant what you heard Wealey"said Draco
"And what did you mean by learning to tuck…and by the way how do you know that my cur…"stopped Ginny a looking at the ground.
"The curve of your waist" said Draco completing Ginny's sentence
"I had seen you tucking that thing in the Halloween party that's how I discovered that you had such a waist," said Draco smirking.
"Then how do you think I should have tucked it?" said Ginny now looking up
"You don't want me to teach that do you?" asked Draco
"Who are you to tuck it out?" asked Ginny crossing her hands
"Your prank master…. I couldn't stop my self and by the way you look good if that thing is tucked out," said Draco coming near.
"Stop where you are!" said Ginny
"Next time you even dare to come near me" said Ginny pointing at Draco.
Saying this Ginny went from there.

Ginny was going to the gryffindor tower.
"Ginny wait up!" cried Parvati
Ginny turned.
"Oh hi Parvati "said Ginny blankly
"It was like a dream come true," confessed Parvati
"I just couldn't believe it," she continued
"I was thrilled through out the dance" she exclaimed
Ginny wasn't paying attention to what Parvati was saying as her mind was still thinking about what had happened.
"It was like the best thing ever dancing with Blaise,"said Parvati blinking her eyes
"Ginny are you listening?" she asked
Parvati noticed that Ginny wasn't paying attention.
"Are you all right?" Parvati asked again
"Yeah I am it's just that I am feeling tired" said Ginny still thinking
"Parvati we'll talk tomorrow" said Ginny and entered the common room
Ginny could not sleep almost the whole night she kept on thinking and thinking and then finally she slept.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Since the next day was Sunday most of the students woke up late and so did Parvati and Ginny.
"Yesterday's party was so tiring," said Parvati at the breakfast table eating her porridge.
"Yeah it sure was" agreed Ginny who was eating her sandwich.
"Hey! That's my owl!" cried Parvati in amazement
"What?" said Ginny looking up
Ginny saw that an owl was rushing at full speed towards Parvati.
"Ouch!" shouted Parvati
Parvati 's owl had crashed in her porridge
"Hey! You spoilt my robes! You idiot!" cried Parvati
"Ginny I've got a letter from home" said Parvati in excitement
"Cool!" said Ginny looking at the letter
The letter sure was dirty but Parvati was more excited to see what was written in it
"Open it! What are you waiting for?" said Ginny
"Yeah sure!" said Parvati now opening the letter
Parvati read the letter aloud it said
Hi Parvati dear how are you? Hope you are fine.
There is a good news you elder cousin sister Naina

"The next week! I wont be there!" cried Parvati
"It's ok read on," said Ginny
I know you will feel sad but then she will be getting

Will be able to attend the wedding.
Parvati dear while you will be coming to India

"Excellent!" said Parvati in excitement
"Congrats!" added Ginny
"Ginny would you like to come with me for the wedding?" asked Parvati
"Me!" said Ginny with her eyebrows up.
"Yeah! You will find something different and you'll be able to enjoy," said Parvati
"I don't know I might go home for Christmas but I really wish I could come," said Ginny
"No problem" said Parvati in a sulky voice.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
There on the other hand Draco received an invitation for the wedding too!
"Awsome! Rahul is going to get married!" said Draco smiling
"Rahul? Who's Rahul?" asked Blaise serving himself some Juice
"He is a good friend of mine," said Draco looking at the invitation card
"Oh shit the wedding is in India!" said Draco making a funny expression
"So are you going?" asked Blaise
"I have to I mean he has sent me an invitation so dearly" said Draco
"When is it?" questioned Blaise
"During winter break" replied Draco
"So what's the problem?" asked Blaise
"It's in India!" shouted Draco
"Oh!" Blaise reacted
"You are not going home for Christmas I can take you along with me" said Draco looking at Blaise
Blaise spat the whole juice from his mouth
"What! Me?" asked Blaise mouth open
"Yes you I don't want to hear anything else you are coming with me and that's final" saying this Draco left the great hall.
"Why is it always me?" said Blaise miserably
