Chapter 7
"I have an announcement to make," he said, a familiar glint in his eyes.
"As all of you know, Halloween is coming soon, so me and your professors decided that it should call for a time of celebration. On Hallows Eve, we will be having a Halloween Dance. 4th years and up only." he said. Groans and murmurs were heard throughout the Great Hall. Dumbledore called for silence.
"There is once catch," he said, his eyes twinkling in delight.
"I have decided that this year, to make things more...eventful that masks will be required. At midnight, everyone will remove their masks." Murmurs and squeals of delight broke out through the Great Hall. Dumbledore smiled and sat back down to finish his dinner. Ginny ate quietly while listening to Hermione talk about what she was going to wear. After filling up on food, Ginny bid farewell to Hermione and went back to the common room, unaware of the mysterious eyes following her out. She said the password and entered the common room. She stopped to look around. She laughed sadly at the memory of how much fun she used to have with Hermione, Ron, and Harry. She went into her room and changed into something to sleep in. She walked around her room, looking for something to do. She soon decided that she was going to wander the halls.
She grabbed her cloak and left her room. She left the common room and walked down the hall, away from her common room. She let her hands run along the wall, feeling for notches or anything out of place that could be a doorway to a secret passageway or room. Fixated on the wall, Ginny didn't notice the dark eyes following her every move. She followed the wall into a dark corridor. Realizing that it had gotten dark, Ginny looked around to find that she was lost. She started to head back the way she came when a figure came to stand in front of her, eyes glowing menacingly. She kept on walking pushing past the figure, figuring it was her brother or someone playing a trick on her. She walked out of the dark corridor when she realized that the figure was still following her.
"Ron this isn't fun," Ginny's eyes widened as she turned around to face the figure. He smiled wickedly.
"We meet again, Ginevra," he said eerily. She shivered when he said her name.
"Harry, not now. Not today. Please." she said sternly. He took a step forward.
"Why, do you have another snog session with Malfoy?" he said menacingly. Ginny stood still.
"I,"
"I do believe the lady said no." a voice said. Harry turned around to find a pair blazing blue eyes fixed on the scene. He sauntered over towards Ginny and snaked his arm around her waist. Harry growled.
"Thanks, Blaise," Ginny said quietly while Harry stalked off.
"Thanks aren't needed, milady." he said. He walked with Ginny back to her common room. She stared at her shuffling feet, welcoming the silence.
"You want to have some fun, tonight?" Blaise said. He smirked when she looked at him with wide eyes. "No, not like that. I meant actual fun." he said. She laughed embarrassedly.
"Ok." she said grinning. He smiled.
"Meet me here at 10 tonight." he said, his eyes gleaming. She smiled.
"Ok, and thanks for everything tonight." she said, not meeting his eyes. He smiled at her and walked away. She said the password and went inside.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Ron yelled at her as soon as she entered the common room. She sighed. "YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN LATE IN ONE MINUTE!" he yelled some more.
"Ron, its my business whether im on time or not. Im tired, and im going upstairs. Goodnight." she said. She went upstairs to her room and laid down in her bed.
Ron is such a git. I can decide for myself. Im a big girl now. Speaking of decisions, what am I going to wear? Ginny squeaked. She jumped out of her bed and opened to door to her closet. She grabbed a black shiny dress out of her closet and held it in front of her mirror.
"Hi! Im an enormous slut!" she said to the mirror. She went back a picked out a blue floral dress and held it up to herself in the mirror.
"Hello. Would you like a copy of Hogwarts: A History?" she sighed. She went back to her closet and dug through her clothes. She pulled out things and held them up and rejected them until she found the perfect outfit. Feeling satisfied, she put on her outfit and put on a little bit of makeup to match it.(A/N: yes I didn't describe it on purpose but I will be doing so later) She pulled her hair up into a messy bun, letting random strands fall out. She fell onto her bed gracefully, making sure not to mess anything up. She checked her clock.
9:30.
Her stomach fluttered with butterflies. She was excited. It had been a long time since she had fun and she had a feeling that tonight would end her streak. She paced in her room waiting for the time to go by. She hummed little tunes trying to calm herself down.
9:40.
She peeked out of her door to check for elderly brothers or friends. The common room was deserted. She left her room and sat on the common room couch. She stared into the dwindling fire, its cinders glowing a coppery red. She sat silently, a deluge of calm sweeping over her. She wandered around the common room, admiring the luxurious red fabric that covered the chairs. No, red wasn't her favorite color but it suited the room well.
9:50
She drummed her fingers nervously along the table. Her excitemenet had been replaced with nervousness. What if she got caught sneaking out after curfew? What if Blaise didn't show up What if Blaise was just playing her the whole time? What if she saw someone she knew? What if she got told on by someone she saw there? She quieted her mind by humming another tune.
9:58
She stood up.
"Ok, so im going to go outside and wait for Blaise to show up and then were going to go have fun" she said to herself. She grabbed her cloak and left the common room and stood outside her door in the shadows so she wouldn't be seen. She tapped her foot nervously, waiting for Blaise to appear. She heard quiet footsteps coming form down the hall and she enveloped herself even further in the shadows to avoid being seen. Blaise sauntered down the hall, head held high. He was wearing a pair or dark blue jeans and a green shirt that had silver lettering that read "Don't worry. It will only seem kinky the first time." Ginny stifled a giggle.
"Ginny!" Blaise whispered loudly. Ginny tried to walk out and then tripped on her own feet and fell down. Blaise laughed.
"Hello." he said, grinning. She picked herself back up and brushed herself off.
"Nice to see you sir." she said mocking him. He smiled.
"You ready to go?" he asked. She nodded.
"Ok, follow me." he said. He started to walk away from the common room quietly with Ginny in tow.
"Oh. Blaise. Where are we going?" she asked. He smirked
"That for me to know and you to find out." he said. He walked down a flight of stairs and across the hall in front of a portrait of a veela dancing. He said the password quietly so Ginny couldn't hear it and it swung open. Blaise and Ginny walked inside and the portrait shut behind them. Blaise smirked as Ginny's eyes widened and she gasped.
