The Power of Four
Tonight is the Yule ball. Everyone was very excited and spent the late afternoon getting ready. Heather, Nehal, Danielle and Jackie spent the afternoon transfiguring their dress robes into dresses.
Heather was planning to wear a one-piece shoulder strap dress. She wore her hair in a bun with two hairs at the front.
Nehal wore a long blue peacock dress with her hair down.
Danielle wore a long purple dress with a shawl and her hair in little twists.
Jackie wore a light pink strapless dress with her hair in curly ringlets.
Dean met Nehal down in the common room along with Neville and Heather.
Dean said, " You look great."
Nehal blushed. " Thanks."
" Ready to show the world what a great dancer you are."
Nehal smiled. " I'm not that good!"
" Oh yes you are." Said Dean
" You're bootyful!" Neville said. " These are for you." Neville gave Heather a bouquet of flowers.
" Thanks Neville you're so sweet." She kissed Neville on the cheek.
" Wowzers!" he said
Jackie sat studying herself in the mirror. " I don't think I want to do this!"
Danielle said, " Jackie! You look great and I'm sure Roger is a nice guy. Don't worry, I'm just as nervous about this as you are!"
Jackie and Danielle were the last ones in the common room. Jackie met up with Fiona in the washroom while Danielle met up with Ian.
Ian said, " Wow you look sexy!"
Danielle blushed. " Thanks Ian you look sexy too!"
Ian gave Danielle his arm and they made a stunning entrance into the Yule ball.
" Hey sorry I took so long!" Jackie said
" It's alright!" replied Fiona
" Now tell me what kind of dress would you like?"
Fiona said, " Well I saw this dress in glamour witch magazine and I was wondering if I could have that one!"
Fiona's dress was light purple and she had her hair down.
" Wow it looks great, thanks Jackie!"
" No problem."
Fiona grabbed Jackie by her arm. " Come on what are we waiting for! Were going to miss the excitement!"
Eventually they all met up with each other and made comments in other people's dress robes and how they stood out from the other students.
Fiona said, " Hey guys can I take your picture!"
" Sure." They all said.
They stood in a line together. Danielle and Nehal were both at the end with Jackie and Heather in the middle.
" Why are so many people taking pictures of us? I thought it was just Fiona." Questioned Nehal
" I don't know why but I like it!" Danielle said
" I feel like a celebrity!" said Jackie
" Ahh! My eyes!" Heather said
The music started playing get down by the backstreet boys.
" Omg it's our song!" Danielle said
" Yeah." Nehal added.
The girls started to make fun of the song while laughing hysterically. Then the baby got back song came on.
" Hey remember we did a dance routine to this song?" said Jackie
The girls started shaking their booties and all the guys were like wow! After the song ended Heather and Neville went to get a drink, Nehal and Dean started to dance and Ian was introducing Danielle to the other slytherin students. Jackie was still looking for Roger who hadn't shown up.
Neville said, " Hi I'll have a lemonade and what do you want Heather?"
" I'll have a scotch on the rocks!" Heather said
Neville said, " No alcohol for you Heather!"
Heather said, " Come on Nev Nev (a nickname I thought of) it's the Yule ball you're supposed to have alcohol!"
" Heather the last time you had whisky we ended up in the forbidden forest!"
Heather wanted that alcohol so badly but she had to take matters into her own hands.
Heather walked up to Neville and started running her finger down Neville's tux. " Please Neville, it will be fun."
Neville who was totally turned on by Heather said, " Alright give us 1 lemonade and 1 scotch on the rocks!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ian said, " Do you like hogwarts?"
Danielle said, " Yeah but our other dances at our old school were kind of different…"
" Oh. We just started having the Yule ball last year."
Danielle asked, " Who did Draco go with?"
" Amanda."
" Does he like her back?"
" Maybe…I'm not sure."
As they were chatting away Casey came up.
" Hey Ian can I talk to you?"
" Sure! If that's okay with you Danielle?"
" Yeah sure!"
Casey dragged Ian towards a corner.
Casey said, " I can't believe I had to go to the Yule ball with Goyle. Ian why are you with Danielle?"
" Haven't you been listening to the gossip? I've been wearing a gryffindor tie!"
" But Ian…we make such a good couple!"
" Look…I'm sorry Casey but I g2g it's a slow song!"
All the couples were dancing to the slow song. Jackie was still waiting for Roger.
Ernie from hufflepuff came up to Jackie and said, " Hey my friend wants to know if you think I'm hot?"
Jackie looked around. " Where's your friend?"
Ernie said, " umm…"
Jackie said, " Listen and take my advice pick up lines don't work! Sorry but maybe if there's another slow song we can dance together because I'm waiting for my date!"
Ernie said, " Oh are you going with Roger?"
" Yes. Have you seen him?"
" Yeah I saw him kissing some girl on the neck…I g2g bye!"
Jackie started to exit from the Yule ball when Roger came running up towards her. They started to dance and Jackie kept on looking at Draco and Amanda.
" Is something wrong?" Roger asked
Jackie came back to her senses. " Huh? What did you say?"
" I said is something wrong?"
" No, I don't want a drink!"
Roger rolled his eye and took her hand and pushed her against the wall.
" What's wrong?" he asked. " If you didn't like me why did you say yes?"
" Roger I do like you it's just…"
" Just what?"
Jackie had to think of a lie and think of it fast. " It's just I umm…umm…I… umm…oh I ate like ten cookies and 4 krispy kreme donuts so I think I should sit down for a while."
" Wow you ate a lot!"
" Are you saying I'm fat?"
Roger pulled up a chair and sat down beside her. " You know what?"
" What?"
" Last year at the Yule ball I took a veela to the ball because we had a twiard tournament."
" You took a veela to the Yule ball?"
" Her name was Fleur and she went to beauxbottoms! She was pretty too!"
Jackie rolled her eye and muttered " Boys."
" Sorry!" said Roger. " You're even prettier than her!"
Aww! Jackie thought.
She smiled. " You think so?"
" Yeah. I know so!"
Jackie laughed.
" Are you feeling better?" said Roger
" What do you mean – oh…yeah…Yeah, I am feeling better." Said Jackie, who just saw Draco pass by with Amanda and dancing very close and wanted him to feel jealous. " Do you want to dance Roger?"
" That would be a dream come true!"
Jackie kept looking at Amanda and Draco but turned away and looked at Roger, who was smiling at her. Jackie turned away from Draco because Draco was leaning against the wall along with Amanda beside him and he kept whispering in her ear and she kept giggling.
A few minutes later someone tapped on Jackie's shoulder.
" Would you like to dance?" Draco asked
" Me?" asked Jackie
" No…I want to dance with Davies!" said Draco sarcastically.
" Oh…well…do you mind?" Jackie asked Roger
" I'm watching you!" said Roger to Draco
Jackie thought. I'm dreaming for sure! Jackie looked around and saw that all of her friends were doing something different. Heather and Neville were at the bar, all eyes were on Nehal and Dean on the dance floor and Danielle and Ian were making out.
There were a lot of people laughing at something Heather did. Heather and Neville were doing the robot dance.
Draco whispered into Jackie's ear. " After this song let's go outside!"
Draco's voice filled Jackie's ear with joy and sent chills down her spine.
Jackie said, " But Draco it's snowing outside!"
Draco said, " I want to show you something!"
" Sorry I've already seen snow!"
" No, just come alright?"
Jackie gulped. " Okay! But we should tell Roger first!"
" Hey Davies!" Draco said. " Jackie wants a word with you."
" Umm…Roger…Draco wants to show me something outside. I'll be back in like 5 minutes."
Roger glared at Draco. " Alright. But be careful I don't trust him!"
" Don't worry…I'll be fine." She smiled and waved goodbye.
Meanwhile Heather and Neville were eating pizza.
" It's delivery!" Neville said.
" No it's delisso!" Heather said
" Delivery!"
" Delisso!"
" Hey Nehal, Dean do you think this pizza is delivery or delisso?" asked Neville.
Dean said, " What's the difference?"
Nehal said, " Delisso!"
Heather said, " I told you it was delisso!"
Ian said, " So Danielle what's your favorite class at hogwarts?"
" Well I like charms."
" What about potions?"
" Eww no!"
" Why don't you like it?"
" Well the gryffindors are always getting points taken off for something they didn't do and Professor Snape has really, really greasy hair! I mean I don't think he lathers, rinses and repeats!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Draco and Jackie walked outside.
" It's really cold can we please go back?" asked Jackie
Draco said, " But we just walked like 2 steps!"
" Yeah but I am wearing a dress!"
" Here. Take this." Draco gave Jackie his jacket.
Jackie smiled. " Thanks." She clutched the jacket close to her body. " Where are we going?" she asked.
" We're going to the lake!"
Jackie stopped. There was a steep hill covered with ice and snow. She was bound to trip.
Draco turned around. " Are you coming?"
" I can't go down with these heels!"
Draco came back up and lifted her up onto his shoulders.
" What do you think you're doing?" she asked
" What does it look I'm doing? If you say you're fat I will throw you in the water because you're not!"
Jackie decided to keep her mouth shut.
" Here you go!" He carefully dropped her to the ground.
" Thank you!"
Draco led her to a rock.
" This is what you wanted to show me?" Jackie asked
Draco answered, " No I wanted to show you the sunset!"
Jackie said, " But Draco the sun hasn't set yet!"
" I know." He said. " We came a bit too early. I usually come here if I need to think about something or if I am upset. It's peace and quiet here!"
Jackie said, " So…Draco tell me a bit about yourself."
" Well…I'm Draco Malfoy from the Malfoy Manor. I'm a slytherin and my favorite color is black and I like quidditch and pina colodas in the rain."
Jackie said, " I'm Jackie Allan from Ontario, Canada and I'm in gryffindor and my favorite color is pink and I enjoy quidditch and playing soccer which is a muggle sport and u also enjoy Pina colodas in the rain."
" Really?" Draco asked
" Really, really!" Jackie said
Finally the sunset was setting.
" Wow it's beautiful!" Jackie said.
Draco looked at Jackie. " It is!" Jackie turned around.
" You were looking at my side profile. Omg!"
" What?" Draco said
" You saw my ugly big fat nose. I honestly need a nose job but they're so expensive. And whenever someone sees from my side the first thing they see is my nose!"
Draco thought. She's ruining the romance. Here she is blabbing on about her nose when all I wanted her to do was enjoy the view and kiss her! Well here goes nothing.
Draco said, " Shut up and kiss me!"
Before she could speak Draco was kissing her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Omg this is the best part of the story! For me that is) it was a very passionate kiss.
Jackie said, " You know in Canada our second language is French and there's this thing called French kissing!"
Draco said, " Show me the works!"
Jackie and Draco were kissing. Jackie thought. Omg this is real this isn't a dream! Then Jackie remembered. " Omg! They're announcing the Yule ball king and queen!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nehal and Dean were dancing to I wanna be with you by Mandy Moore. While Ian was talking to Crabble and Goyle about quidditch. Danielle saw Heather all by her self and she decided to talk to her.
" Hey Heather!" Danielle said as she saw Heather hogging the chips.
Heather looked up. " Hey Dani!"
Danielle said, " Nehal and Dean make such a good couple!"
Heather said, " Lavender must be jealous!"
Professor Dumbledore said, " Yo! Everybody gather around!"
Jackie and Draco came in and Draco had his arm wrapped around her waist. He looked over and saw Amanda whispering to Casey and Megan.
" I can't believe Draco ditched me!"
Casey said, " Yeah and I can't believe Ian didn't ask me to the Yule ball!"
Amanda said, " Hello! We're talking about my crisis here!"
Megan said, " But didn't you dump Draco!"
" Yeah I did." Amanda said. " But I think he still has feelings for me because he was the one that asked me to go to the Yule ball with him. I remember I was his date last year too!"
Casey said, " Then why did you go to the Yule ball with him again?"
" Because I feel sorry for him!"
" Why do you feel sorry for him?" asked Megan.
Amanda said, " Because one day poor Malfoy is going to get his heart broken. It's so sad!"
Professor Dumbledore started rapping.
Yo my name is Dumbledore AKA Mc Money dog! I'm hear to say that I don't want any pussy or cot I'm just rapping like a real gansta I'm an alligator going up the escalator I'm lover not a hater! I like to party in my naught Pjs. I'm doing my thang just keeping up my rein! You gotta play my mother fuckin' song on the radio!

Everyone cheered.
Dumbledore said, " The Yule ball king is…Neville Longbottom!"
Neville just stood there.
" Go Neville!" Harry said. All the gryffindors were cheering and the slytherins looked disappointed.
Neville went up on stage and said, " Umm…hi…I didn't think this would happen but…thanks for voting for me!"
Dumbledore said, " Now the Yule queen is…Heather Reid!"
Heather walked up and said, " Mah! Thanks…this is hunky mama! Wowzers. Chicken forever!"
