MAGICAL MUSIC
"Harry, where are you going?" Neville asked as Harry started to leave the room.
"Yeah, Harry, We need to get ready for the ball." Seamus added.
"Don't worry I'll be there I just have to do something first." Harry told them as he left the room.
"Do what?"
"You'll see."
Harry left the common room and headed towards the headmaster office where he was to meet his friends.
He got to the gargoyle entrance and spoke the password before climbing the staircase to the office.
"Enter."
Harry entered the office to find Dumbledore waiting for him.
"Right on time Mr Potter, they should be coming through in a moment."
They both sat down and waited for the group to arrive.
A few minutes later the group started to fall out of the fireplace.
"Hey Harry, Ready for tonight." Jack said, as he tried to get up but was pushed down again when Jane fell out on top of him.
"Get off." The boy snapped as another girl fell on top of him.
"Hello Harry." Lara said as she came out of the fire in her normal graceful manner.
"Good evening my dear," Harry said in a snobbish voice, reaching over and taking her hand to help her away from the pile of bodies on the floor. When she was closer to him he bowed and kissed her hand, she giggled at him and curtsied to him.
"Oh, what a gentleman," She said.
"Stop it you two." Jack complained when he finally got up off the floor.
Lara turned away from Harry, "You're just jealous because Harry is a Gentleman and you wouldn't know what manners are if they kicked you up the arse."
Danielle and Jane ignored the other two, as they continued to bicker over whether or not Jack was polite or not, the two girls looked around the office taking in all the strange magical objects.
"Professor Dumbledore, this is Jack Lloyd, Danielle Samson, Lara Mac and Jane Ashwood." Harry said, stopping the fight between Jack and Lara.
"Pleased to meet you, sir," Lara said. The rest of the group nodded in agreement.
"Welcome to Hogwarts, all of you. But right now you need to go and get dressed then you need to get use to your instruments," Dumbledore said, "there are two room at the back of the great hall where you can all get changed. I believe that Mr Black shrank your belongings for you?"
"Yes sir," They all pulled out some tiny suitcases from their pockets.
"Good, put them on the floor."
The Muggles did as they were told and the Headmaster returned the objects to their original state.
"There you go. Now Harry, why don't you take your friends down to the Great hall so you can get ready."
"Yes sir."
"Oh Harry before you go. Do you have a simple idea of a costume for me tonight, I simply couldn't think of one."
Harry looked the headmaster up and down for a moment then nodded.
"Sir, do you have a bright white, shirt, long pants, and cloak?"
"So what do you think of Hogwarts so far?"
"From what I've seen it is huge. You could fit two of my house in that Great Hall." Jack said, as they got dressed for the night.
"It is amazing I must admit but I would still prefer to have gone to school with you guys. I'm not the best magic student."
"Oh well if you fail class, you can spend the rest of your life busting on the London streets."
"Thanks for the encouragement."
"That's what I'm here for."
Harry glared at his friend, "Come on lets go see how the girls are going."
They left the room towards the other room where the girls were getting changed.
"Are you guys ready?" Harry asked as he knocked on the door.
"Give us a minute." Dani yelled through the door.
5 minutes later the girls emerged from the room.
Lara was dressed as Padmé from Star Wars; she was wearing the multi-coloured dress from Episode II. She had also managed to get her long brown hair into a similar state as Natalie Portman had in the movie.
Danielle had gone with the character, Major Samantha Carter, from her favourite TV show, Stargate. She was wearing a one-piece suit that the Major wore around the SGC in the series. She looked very similar to the actress except for her shoulder length hair.
Jane was in a medieval style dress and had straightened her hair and was going as Arwen from Lord of the Rings, Jack was also a character from Lord of the Rings, Aragorn. While Harry, on the other hand, had a simple jet black cape on.
"What's your costume Harry?" Jane asked."I just wanted a simple costume so…" Harry pulled out his wand and cast a quick spell over himself, which made is hair disappear. He took out a mask that covered the right side of his face and his nose as well as a black broadbrim hat.
"The phantom of the opera." He told them.
"Is that even a movie?" Jack asked.
"Well you could say it is it's just a very old fashioned movie."
"How'd you make your hair disappear?" Lara asked.
"Magic! What are you guys doing for masks?"
"Oh I've just got a simple eye mask."
"Me too," Dani told him.
"I'll be back in a sec," Harry said then left the room.
Harry went out into the Great Hall where the teachers were finishing the decorations.
"Professor McGonagall?"
"Yes Mr Potter,"
"Would it be illegal to do magic on Muggles while they were in Hogwarts?"
The teacher thought for a minute and asked the other teachers what they thought, finally they decided that it would be acceptable.
"But nothing to advanced, I don't want to be explaining to the Ministry why we have Muggles with missing limbs running around Hogwarts."
"Yes professor, it's only a 3rd year charm."
Harry went back to the other room, "Lara come over here."
"Why?" Lara asked uncertainly.
"I'm not going to hurt you and if you don't like it I'll change it back."
"What if something goes wrong?"
"Then we get a teacher to change you back, but we won't have to 'cause I'm not going to stuff it up, trust me."
"But that's the thing I don't trust you."
"Find Jack, come here."
"What are you going to do?"
"Make it so you don't have to wear a mask," Harry explained.
Jack walked over to him and Harry cast a spell on him to make his face look exactly like Viggo Mortensen's did in the Lord of the Rings.
Harry turned Jack around to look in a mirror on the wall.
"Kool, I look like Aragorn."
"Yes, I must say it is a vast improvement to what you normally look like," Jane said.
"Me next," Danielle said jumping up and down.
"Alright, let me think," Harry thought for a moment then did a spell on the girl in front of him, making her hair shorter in a military style and charmed her face to be exactly the same as Amanda Tapping's.
Harry then turned to Jane and charmed her ears pointy and made her look like Liv Taylor.
"Will you trust me now?" Harry asked Lara.
"Ok but if you stuff this up I'll sue you!"
"Yeah that'll look good, 'my friend is a wizard and he charmed my ear off!'"
"Oh shut up." She snapped but let him do the spell.
When he had finished she looked exactly like Natalie Portman but he decided to play with her.
"Shit, Lara I'm so sorry!"
"What did you do?" Lara asked trying to get to the mirror.
"No you don't want to see," Harry said charming a nearby curtain to move over the mirror so she couldn't see herself.
"Harry, leave her alone. Lara you look fine." Danielle said pulling out a mirror she had in her pocket and showing Lara her reflection.
Lara sighed with relief and ran at Harry jumping on him.
"You bloody Bastard."
Thanks to my reviewers and I am sorry about my grammar but if I finish a chapter I can't resist posting it so have a beta would drive he up the wall.
