Amoria- Can't tell. You'll figure it out. I hope...
Anonymous- Sorry I couldn't update sooner!
Raiast- I'll try to look at yours. I always forget something when I get online.

pookers77- Glad you're excited. I wouldn't mind ideas for my next story. I've been trying to brainstorm ideas. It's not working too well...
ckrfan- Someone got it on their first try! Yay!
Satyrn-Vampyre – That's pretty high praise! Thanks!
PinkTribeChick- That's because he sort of does know everything.
Luthein- I don't care if you repeat yourself...Really!
Lady Paine- I try to get the chapters up as soon as possible. Thanks for reading.
a/n: Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay. Like I said, I have a lot on my mind, even with school out! Anyway, eleventh installment! Enjoy!
"Hey, Hermione!" Ginny yelled up the stairs to the girls' dormitories.
"Yeah?" Hermione yelled back, poking her head out the door.
"Can I come up there? I kind of need help with my hair."
"Sure, as long as you don't mind me knowing what your costume looks like."
"Oh please," Ginny said as she closed the door. "Like you wouldn't have known."
"That's true."
"Hey, Hermione," Lavender said. "You've seen all of our dresses but we haven't seen yous."
"You will in a minute. Just let me do Ginny's hair."
"Okay," Parvati sighed. Ginny's hair was done in a matter of minutes.
"Come on, Hermione! Show us!" Lavender put the finishing touches on her dress.
"Okay, okay, just a second." Hermione changed behind the curtains of her bed. After a while, the other girls began to get impatient.
"What's taking so long?" Ginny whined.
"I'll be done in a minute," Hermione said. "I just need to do my hair real quick."
"Well, hurry."
Hermione finally finished and came out to show them. "Wow!" Lavender muttered.
"Who are you trying to impress?" Parvati asked.
"Yeah, right," Ginny said as she examined the dress.
Hermione's dress came down to her knees. Its top had spaghetti straps and it barley had a back at all. The dress' color changed each second, making it seem like it had a mind of its own. Her mask covered the top of her face and it had wings on its sides. It was flashing different colors just like the dress.
Her hair was down and slightly curled. A string of stars hung from each of her ears and a large star pendant hung around her neck.
"Well girls, let's go. Oh, and Hermione, make sure to bring a stick." Lavender walked to the door.
"A stick?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, haven't you ever heard your mom say that you'll have to beat the boys away?"
When Hermione and the other girls reached the Great Hall most everyone was already there. All of the Gryffindors, including Harry and Ron, looked around the Hall in awe. An assortment of ghosts, candles, and pumpkins floated above the small tables.
"Looks like Dumbledore couldn't get the Weird Sisters this year," Dean said.
"Good, maybe we'll actually have some music that's more this century," Seamus said.
"I thought you liked their music," Dean said as Harry led the Gryffindors to a particularly large table. Seamus rolled his eyes. Dumbledore walked up onto a platform at the back of the Hall that had curtains erected to hide the back of it.
"Welcome students, teachers, and guests! To kind of 'kick start' the festivities tonight we have a student who is going to perform. His band, who also acts as back up singers, put off their other plans to be here tonight. I believe that he also has a cd, isn't that what it's called? Yes, he has a cd coming out in muggle stores in January. Before they perform, I will kindly ask them to remove their masks. Now, please welcome, Draco Malfoy." Dumbledore walked off the platform as the Slytherins cheered. The curtains opened in the middle and Draco appeared.
He was dressed in a simple tux. A green cloak hung loosely about his shoulders and a green mask with a black snake on it hid the top of his face. He reached up and detached it slowly. Placing it off the side of the platform, he looked around. "Good evening," Draco said, speaking into the microphone attached to his earpiece. "Um, I know you all don't know what to expect, but, I hope you all enjoy the song I picked tonight. I – huh, oh, thanks." Draco turned around as someone poked him in the back from behind the curtain. He handed Draco guitar and Draco took it. "Anyway, I hope you like it."
He adjusted the microphone as the curtain opened. It was completely dark behind Draco during the intro, until the drummer started playing. Light flooded into the back of the platform. The Gryffindors gasped. Fred and George Weasley winked at them before going back to playing.
Living life with your eyes closed Expect to fall and it's gonna hurt 'Cause with my pain I've opened my eyes My tough luck Has made me realize That
This is my fight To get up, stand in the light Here I am Taking a stand Here I am Cuz this is my life, my life
And as time slowly takes me away It hurts just to watch as it pulls me each and every day So now's the time to turn my head on you To take control And do what I want to do Cuz
This is my fight To get up, stand in the light Here I am Taking a stand Here I am Cuz this is my life, my life
You want to know who I am Well, there's too many of me to know But you can hear me, I know you will If you can feel this the way that I do Then you'll love it the way that I do
This is my fight To get up, stand in the light Here I am Taking a stand Here I am Cuz this is my life, my life This is my fight To get up, stand in the light Here I am Taking a stand Here I am Cuz this is my life, my life
Draco was driving Hermione nuts and he knew it. He had stared at her through the whole song. Talk about annoying! He finally looked away after the song ended. Draco looked at her one last time and motioned for her to come up to the side of the platform.
Even as applause still rang, Hermione walked to the back of the platform. Draco was standing with his back to her. He was talking to Fred and George as they all put away their instruments.
"Wait 'till we tell Ron we've been playing with you for almost a year. He'll die of shock." George laughed.
"No, wait until he sees the picture on the cd cover. That will make him die of shock," Draco said as he laughed with the twins.
"That picture is enough to scare anyone to death!" Fred whispered to George.
"What do you mean by that?" Draco asked.
"Nothing! I was just fooling!" Fred winked.
"Hey, I noticed you stumbled a bit through the first line. Why? I mean, it is one of your favorites and one of the best." George looked up at Draco while detaching a cymbal from its stand.
"Trying not to laugh at your brother," Draco snorted.
"How'd you know it was Ron?" Fred asked.
"How could anyone not notice him? He sticks out like a sore thumb!" Draco laughed.
"That's only too true. Everyone in our family does." George was toying with the cymbal in his hands. "Then again, all you have to do is run with the Weasleys and you stick out. I guess you noticed that though. Huh, lover boy?" Fred laughed as George finished, winking at his brother.
"That's not funny!" Draco hissed, a pink tinge on his cheeks.
"To you, maybe."
"Ahem," Hermione said, giving a small fake cough. Fred spun around quickly, his hand hitting George's shoulder. George fumbled with the cymbal and it slipped out of his hand. He caught it right before it hit the ground.
"Hey, Hermione." Fred grinned.
"Hi." Hermione's eyes grew wide. "Fred, watch out!"
"George, don't!" Draco reached up to catch George's arm but he was too late. The cymbal came down on Fred's head with a resounding clang. Fred swayed on the spot as George put away the vibrating cymbal.
"Fred, you okay?" Hermione asked. Fred didn't answer.
"Say something," Draco suggested.
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star..." Fred stumbled a few steps. George walked up to him and supported him into the Great Hall, muttering to his brother.
"We're DJs, remember? Quit fooling around."
"Who's fooling?" Fred grumbled.
Draco shook his head and turned to Hermione. "Hey, um...I-I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. I just...I can't control myself very well."
It took Hermione a minute before she realized what he was talking about. "Oh, it's not your fault. I shouldn't have bothered you," Hermione muttered.
"Nah, it's my fault. If you haven't noticed, I have a big mouth and it has gotten me into trouble a lot!" Draco put his mask back on.
"You can say that again," Hermione said, smiling and walking away.
Hermione danced once with both Harry and Ron. She mostly talked with other people. At one point during the Ball, Hermione was sitting alone, watching her friends dance when she was tapped lightly on her hand. Hermione looked around. There was no one there. She looked down as a small voice spoke.
"Miss, Miss...It is Octavia." Hermione found the elf crouching at her feet.
"Hello, what brings you here?"
"This does, Miss." Octavia handed Hermione a pink rose. A note was dangling below it.
"Thank you, Octavia." Hermione took out her wand, tapped the rose's stem, and tucked it behind her ear, the thorns gone. After a few seconds she noticed Octavia had gone. Hermione read over the note quickly, grinning broadly. She stood and walked out of the Great Hall. While approaching the front doors, Hermione read over the note again.
Meet me in 10 minutes outside in the garden.
-Ryu
Hermione pushed the doors open and walked down the steps. She reached the garden with a few minutes to spare. Feeling curiously care free, Hermione walked deep into the garden, coming to a small clearing. She sat on a bench and waited there, humming softly to herself, ignoring the music form the Great Hall. She didn't even realize what song she was humming until a voice floated into the clearing, the tune matching hers. The voice sounded strangely familiar.
If I was invisible Then I could just watch you in your room If I was invincible I would make you mine tonight If hearts were unbreakable Then I could just tell you where I stand If I was invisible (Wait, I already am)
Ryu sat down beside her quietly, his cloak making no noise at all. "I see you got my note."
"Yeah," Hermione said as she nodded. "You seem to have taken a liking to Octavia."
"She's faithful and does what I ask of her without question. She is also quicker than the others. Every time I come into the kitchen Octavia drops what she is doing and comes up to me, eagerly awaiting her errand. She told me once that she would like to leave Hogwarts when I graduate and work for me. I've tried to talk her out of it but she won't change her mind. She has already gone to Dumbledore to ask. He said he'll think about it. He is a great man," Ryu sighed, "no matter what people say."
"You're right. He's like a father to a lot of people. There's no way to describe him. Then again, there are others who can not be described as well." Hermione glanced at Ryu and found him staring at her. "What?"
"Nothing...I just remembered why I brought you out here." Ryu stood up and Hermione was surprised to see that he had on a black half mask with a red dragon snaking up the side. Ryu's eyes, which Hermione was seeing for the first time, danced with a mysterious silver light as he offered her his hand. "Dance with me?"
"It's a fast song though. We- "Hermione began to speak but he cut her off.
"I think we'll manage. I'm not that bad." Ryu laughed as Hermione took his hand. They slowly got into the music, letting it take control.
Right Right
Girl, I know what you're thinking You need some answers in your heart tonight Girl, I'm here to make it different Ease the pressure, sweeten up your life
Let your hair down Let your guard down Let me show you everything You've been missing Let it all go Girl, ya gotta let it flow Don't let the door close I know I can get ya better
You need some sugar You're only human baby Let me bring it onto you tonight I'll be your sugar I'm gonna make it easy Smooth it out And make you feel so right
Right Right
Girl, love doesn't have to be A bitter pill for ya time and again Girl, take a look at the big picture There's a new start here in my hand
Let your hair down Let your guard down Let me show you everything You've been missing Let it all go Girl, ya gotta let it flow Don't let the door close I know I can get ya better
You need some sugar You're only human baby Let me bring it onto you tonight I'll be your sugar I'm gonna make it easy Smooth it out And make you feel so right You need some sugar You're only human baby Let me bring it onto you tonight I'll be your sugar I'm gonna make it easy Smooth it out And make you feel so right
Going through it I come to you Just a kiss Is good for you I'm not leaving You this way That's why you hear me say
You need some sugar You're only human baby Let me bring it onto you tonight I'll be your sugar I'm gonna make it easy Smooth it out And make you feel so right You need some sugar You're only human baby Let me bring it onto you tonight I'll be your sugar I'm gonna make it easy Smooth it out And make you feel so right
Both Ryu and Hermione were panting by the end of the song. Somehow, Hermione had ended up in Ryu's arms. They both blushed beneath their masks and separated.
"I, uh, didn't know you could dance so well," Ryu said softly.
"Same here," Hermione muttered.
"I need to- "Ryu stopped talking as he heard footsteps on the path.
"Hermione? Hermione, you out here?" Ron called out softly, as though trying not to disturb the quiet.
"I have to go," Ryu said. "I'll be seeing you, but you won't see me." He smiled slightly before disappearing into the bushes. Ron came jogging down the path.
"There you are, Hermione. Everyone's looking for you. Why-uh-why'd you come out here anyway?" Hermione shrugged as Ron rambled. "I don't see anything fascinating enough to stay out here for half an hour." Hermione gave him a disbelieving look. "So, what are you doing out here?" Hermione walked up to him.
"Talking with a friend. That's all. Why?"
"Just wondering. By the way, where'd you get the rose?"
"Curiosity killed the cat, Ron. You need to remember that."
"Oh, yeah." Ron laughed. "Uh...What cat?"
Man, you guys are lucky. I was going to cut this chapter off half way through. Anyway, please review!
By the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you- I, Paul, who am "timid" when face to face with you, but "bold" when away!
