Disclaimer- JK Rowling has all rights to Harry Potter. I only own the character of Kate, and the plot of this story.
"Hermione! I don't have anything to wear!" Kate whined as she pulled out every single article of clothing that she owned.
Hermione looked at Kate over the thick book that she was currently reading. "Oh, Kate; I am sure that you can find something to wear. Look at all of those clothes that you have."
"Well, what are you going to wear?" Kate asked.
"I am going to wear what I am wearing right now. Why should I change? It is just a party with old friends, it's not like it's the Oscars," Hermione said.
Kate looked at Hermione's currant outfit. She was wearing a tweed skirt and a white blouse. Instead of wearing a necklace, she wore her Gryffindor tie. Just as Kate was about to make a comment on her outfit, Parvati burst into the room.
"We need to get ready for the party! Hermione, what are you doing? Now is not a time for reading. Clothes need to be tried on, and make up needs to be applied!" Parvati said practically in one breath.
Hermione continued to read, ignoring Parvati. "Hermione simply refuses to change her clothes. What do you think that I should wear? I can not find a single thing!" Kate said.
Parvati walked over to Kate and started looking through the clothes that were piled on her bed. She seemed to be looking for something, but could not find it. "How come you don't have any pink clothes?"
Kate made a face of slight disgust and said, "I hate pink. It is too... preppy. Not too mention, pink is makes me want to puke."
"Well, all you have are dark colors! I never knew that a person could own so much black. Oh well, I think that you should wear this," Parvati said as she pulled out a black leather mini skirt and an emerald colored off the shoulder shirt.
"I usually don't wear mini skirts, or any skirts for that matter, but alright. But if I wear that, then you have to wear this," Kate replied as she tossed Parvati a black tube top. She grabbed a pink lace skirt off of Parvati's dresser.
Parvati smirked and began to change into her new set of clothes. When both girls were finished changing, they faced the problem of shoes, make up, and accessories. Parvati began to rummage through her closet for shoes and Kate looked in her vanity for jewelry.
"Ha!" Parvati exclaimed triumphantly, as she held out a pair of silver kitten heel's that were encrusted with emerald rhinestones. "These would go perfect with your outfit, Kate. Now I just have to figure out what shoes I should wear."
Kate smiled knowingly and pulled a pair of black leather stiletto boots out of her own closet. The boots would go up to Parvati's knees, making her seem taller than she was. It was most certainly perfect.
Finally, Kate applied some black eyeliner, along with grey eye shadow, creating the mysterious smoky eyes look. She put on a rather dark pink lipstick with silver iridescence lip gloss. She was ready to party.
The three girls walked out onto the balcony that overlooked the Gryffindor common room. Kate's breath caught in her throat as she looked at the room below her. The room was amazing; it looked like a club that you would find in Los Angeles or New York City. The walls were lined with neon lights, and the ceiling was filled with black lights. The cozy couches and overstuffed armchairs were pushed up against the wall, creating a dance floor. Above the dance floor hung a giant disco ball.
Meanwhile, on the dance floor, Seamus was looking up at the balcony that led into the girls dormitories. Three girls had just stepped out. Hermione looked like her usual self. Parvati looked pretty enough, he supposed. But the third girl looked incredible.
Kate looked like a movie star. Seamus' jaw dropped, and his eyes grew as wide as saucers. Her lovely green eyes sparkled, and her smile lit up the room. She began to walk down the staircase, the perfect picture of beauty and grace.
Kate looked around the room as she descended the staircase. She felt like a celebrity, like she was famous. Suddenly, just as Kate's luck would have it, she stumbled at the bottom step. Since she was so tall, and therefore not used to wearing heels, she prepared to fall face first onto the floor. However, just as she was about to hit the floor, a pair of strong arms caught her.
After she realized that she was safe, Kate found herself staring into the rich, dark eyes of Seamus Finnegan. The two teens simply stood there for a while, gazing into each others eyes until Ginny rudely bumped into them. They fell on top of each other, surprised.
Then, realizing how odd that they must have looked, both Kate and Seamus exploded into laughter. Finally, once the laughter wore off, Kate got off of Seamus and stood up.
"Well, this night has gotten off to an interesting start, wouldn't you say?" Seamus said, still laughing.
"Was that part of your plan? To sweep me off my feet? Because if it was, it sure worked," Kate replied.
Seamus blushed slightly and said, "Yeah, sorry about that. You look amazing tonight, by the way."
This time, it was Kate's turn to blush. "Thanks, but it's nothing. You look smashing tonight as well," she said, eyeing his outfit. He was wearing baggy jeans and a Sex Pistols t-shirt.
"You like it?" Seamus said, grinning. "Most people in here have no idea who the Sex Pistols is; and those who do don't care for them."
"They are great for a muggle band," Kate agreed. "My favorite band is The Clash, and they have a lot in common. My favorite song is 'Train in Vain' by the Clash."
"Yeah, that is a good song. My favorite song is 'Don't Stop Believing' by Journey. I have always loved that song," Seamus replied.
Suddenly, their conversation was interrupted by McGonagall entering the room. "Get to bed all of you! It is much too late for you to be having a party. Twelve thirty indeed! You have classes tomorrow, and yet you party? Not in my house you don't. Now get to bed or you will lose house points."
She pulled out her wand and muttered some spell that made all o the neon lights and the disco ball disappear. All the decorations vanished and without saying another word, she spun on her heel and left the students to go to bed.
"Well, good night, Kate. I will see you in classes tomorrow," Seamus said. Then he turned and walked up the stairs to the boys dormitories.
Kate soon followed up to her own dormitory to get some sleep. Her first day of classes wasn't half bad, she thought. If everyday were like today, then this year at Hogwarts would be simply wonderful.
Authors note: I know, I know, I haven't updated in forever. That is because I have just gotten back from vacation. I went to this really cool indoor water park, and now my body is all beat up. Well, as always, please read and REVIEW.
