rachel( ) : Thank you SO much for you review! You're the FIRST one:PPP And thanks for finding my story awesome! ;)
I know I don't update often, but I have SOO many essays to hand in before spring break! And I can't wait…I'm going on a ski trip! It's going to be SO cool! Anyways, here's the fifth chappie!
Chapter 5:
All of the pureblood girls got up to show off their talents; practically every one was in Slytherin, which was not surprising. Draco nudged Mischa just a little so she would wake up to go with the others. She stirred and he whispered that she had to go with the other girls. In an instance, she was up and about ready to show how good she was.
Okay girls, to start, why don't you transform your clothes into your dresses?
All of the girls changed into their cream white debutant dresses, all except one. Mischa transformed herself into a princess cut gown, but instead of the normal cream white color, it was green with silver decorations on it. She put on a tiara and a diamond choker. For her arms, she had transparent green sleeves that opened up at the bottom. She only had half of her hair up and the rest just cascaded down her back. Everyone was very impressed with her abilities.
Now Miss Avery, you know that usually you have to be in the traditional colors, but because this is so beautiful, I guess this can pass.
Mischa grinned at her professor and winked at Draco, knowing full well that she would never reprimand her best student and her favorite nephew's girlfriend. Then came time for the boys to come and dance with the ladies. They changed their school clothes into tuxedos and stepped up their partner. Everyone else just starred at the show in front of them, amazed at how they looked so rich and powerful, but were so young. Hermione was in her little corner, scoffing at how ridiculous this was.
The girls remaining were then asked to change into gowns, but more simple ones than the debutants. When everybody was in evening attire, all of a sudden, the Great Hall appeared out of nowhere. Everyone was amazed at this; the shack was some sort of portkey that would be activated when everybody was there in evening clothes. Classical music as playing full force in the Hall and the parents of every student were there, waiting for them. There were also the younger students, waiting impatiently to see the Seven Years. They were also all dressed up for the occasion. Dumbledore went to the stage erected in front to welcome back the graduates of the year.
Welcome back dear students! We were growing quite impatient waiting for you to make a move, he said with a twinkle in his eye. Although this was a test to break the tie for Head girl, there is still the same problem. We now know that the Head boy is Draco Malfoy.
All of the Slytherins applauded and roared at the fact that their prince was named Head. The other houses only applauded half heartedly to be polite.
Yes, Congratulations to you my dear Draco. We will break the tie between two girls tonight. They will come up here and make a speech to try and persuade you student to vote for them. Now I would like for Hermione Granger and Mischa Avery to come and give their speech.
Both girls walked up to the stage; Hermione giving a death glare to Mischa, and Mischa just not giving a damn about it. Mischa let Hermione go first just to show good sportsman ship.
Hello, hum, wow I don't know where to really start. Well, I guess I should be chosen for Head Girl, because I am very responsible and will never favor anybody from the rest, she said knowing that everybody thought that she would favor Harry and Ron that were always in trouble. Except that, I know that I have the best grades in this school and I work hard at it to get them. This is what I find should be important for choosing who will get Head girl. Thank you!
Everybody applauded, but couldn't wait to get the speech from their favorite clown. Hermione stepped off of the stage and looked at Mischa with contempt. Mischa stepped up, it was her time to be the center of attention, and she never missed the chance to do so.
Well thank you Hermione for your uplifting speech. But you forgot that you are not alone at having the best grades, or they would not be a tie at this moment. Knowing full well that grades work and responsibility are crucial to the Head girl, there is also the social life that should be looked upon. Not accusing Miss Granger of anything, but I know that I am more popular and know everyone in this school, so it would be easier for me to plan activities and dances, because I know what you want. And yes, work is also at play, but instead of working for only my grades, I help others with theirs. I believe that I am successful only when the others had the help to do their best also. Well I guess I will leave at that and let you make the choice.
Mischa stepped down of the stage with a huge smile of professionalism on her face. Everybody was congratulating her for the great speech she had given, which made Hermione greatly jealous, with anger boiling over. Dumbledore stepped back up to direct the people for their votes.
Okay, thank you girls, those were great speeches. Now if you look at the back, you will find little stall with a piece of parchment waiting for you. Only press were wand and say who you think should be named Head girl. After place the parchment in the box. Take your time, we will count the votes when everyone will be finished, like that there will not be a huge waiting line. Off you go.
Mischa and Draco went up to their parents to greet them, not forgetting that they had to be very polite.
Hello mother and father.
We are very proud of you son, me and your mother were not expecting less than Head Boy from you. And Miss Avery, we sincerely hope that you will be named Head girl! The position is only fit for a pureblood such as yourself.
Respectfully M. Malfoy, but it is not a question of blood, but a question of wit, social status, the bonds you have with people, and your grades. Although I tie Miss Granger for grades, I greatly surpass her in the other departments.
Oh so true my dear daughter, warmly said Elizabeth Avery. I'm proud that you are such a socialite.
Alex beamed radiantly at his daughter, proud of how she could use all of her power she has later on in life.
About an hour later, Dumbledore came back on stage, ready to announce the winner.
Ladies and gentleman, the last vote has been put in and we are ready to announce the winner for Head girl.He unfolded the parchment with the name of the winner and a grin appeared on his face. I guess there is no question there. The winner is….
Sorry everybody if I leave you on a somewhat cliffie loll ;P But I just feel like it is a good place to stop. I only passed 4 points in my plan with this chappie, and it pleases me a lot, cause that means that there will be more because I already have like 3 pages. I hope this won't be the last time that I update before the break. I only have one day left, so that's only one class! And than it's going to be…ski SKI SKI!
