Thanks for reviewing, PrincessLilly818181!!!! I won't say the OC I have in mind yet, but does anyone object to a Harry/OC ship?

Chapter 20

"So that's what happened to the teachers!" said Tiffany after class was over and The Odds were walking to dinner.

Rachelle laughed.

"WHAT ABOUT THE LEMONS?" asked Bita worriedly.

"PIE!" said Rachelle.

Bita gasped. "NOOOOO!!!!! WAFFLE PUDDING MADE THE LEMONS INTO PIES???"

"No, we're having pie today!" said Rachelle hurriedly. "Right, Tiffany?"

"Yeah," said Tiffany, who had envisioned the day's dinner when she got bored in Potions.

Halfway through dinner, Rachelle suddenly remembered something, turned to Tiffany, and asked, "What about the announcement Dumbledore's supposed to change?"

"Oh…well he'll probably do it after dinner," said Tiffany.

Sure enough, after everyone had finished eating (including Rachelle, who had spent a lot of time slowly enjoying her pie), Dumbledore called for attention.

"I'm sure you all remember the Winter Ball that the staff and I had planned for later on this month, but our plans have changed. Professor Harris, our Muggle Studies teacher, has decided that we should have something of a muggle dance, with music that students in muggle schools enjoy. He also thought it would be a good idea for you to dress like muggles. He believes that this will be a very good experience for all of you, not just his students, and it would make some of you who come from the muggle world – including our new exchange students – feel more at home. So, we've asked Hogsmeade to import clothes from the very popular American muggle store Kohl's for you to buy, and they have the clothes ready already, so why wait until the end of the month for the…dance? We have decided to move the date of the dance to next weekend and have a Hogsmeade trip this weekend. That should give you plenty of time to prepare."

When Dumbledore had finished his speech, everyone was whispering excitedly except for the Slytherins, who looked thoroughly disgusted.

"Are there any questions?" asked Dumbledore.

The Slytherins glared at him. Rachelle's hand shot up into the air.

"ARE YOU A BOX?" she asked excitedly.

Dumbledore smiled. "Of course."

"Oooh, what kind?"

"A crystal box with a lose lid."

"Oooh! I'm a Tupperware box…I lost my lid, but I have a replacement…it has a hole in it though. A triangular hole," said Rachelle proudly.

The students were released to their common rooms a few minutes later, everyone (except, obviously, the Slytherins) chatting happily about the upcoming muggle dance.
