A/N: Hello again everybody who was kind enough to review! I'm sorry this took so long but once again I had writers block. I couldn't work past it until now.
On to other business, I would like to do my routine of shout outs to the people that I love. So here it is, SHOUT OUT! JK!
Summerxkiss2: You wanted to know about the ball and everybody hooking up with the right companion correct? Well as to that! I can't tell you. But you have a pretty good guess about what is going on.
One With A Constant Sugar High: I know it was cut short but I just want to leave you guys in suspense. It's so much fun that way.
Suckr4romance81789: Like I have been saying! I'm sorry I didn't do much last chapter but I didn't want to get to that part yet because I wasn't quite ready.
Violet Snicket: You're not the only one who's anxious to see what the plan is. A lot of people are hounding me because they still don't know what Harry's plan is. I will get there eventually. Although, I'm not actually going to say what the plan is. Hopefully you'll be able to figure it out by the end of the story. And please don't be mad at me. I'm trying the best I can. Sjpgurl: Hey there cutie! I'm glad everything is going well for you. But why were you on crutches? I hope whatever happened didn't hurt too much. Although, I know it must've been pretty painful. How long have you been on the crutches? I've never even broken a bone in my body. I've also never had the chicken pox and I'm only seventeen.Lady Pyrefly: Relax! Of course I know about the plan! I'm the one that invented it! I like the fact that Harry and Luna are matched as well. I thought silver and gold would be the perfect color. Although, in a way there's still a bit of weirdness around her.
Lil-goths: (Blushes) Thank you! I'm glad you like my story. It just gives me more of a reason to update. Dawn: I'm not upset about watching Buffy! I probably wouldn't even if I was allowed to. Willow and Tara were kind of scaring me when I started to watch it again. Although, I was totally bummed out when I couldn't watched anymore Charmed. I love that show. It was one of my favorites. I love watching shows about witchcraft! As you can tell because obviously I watch and read Harry Potter! You are extremely lucky because I saw your review in my folder when I was writing to Sjpgurl just now.Gogglehead Lover: I am obsessed with Boy Meets World. I have seen all the episodes but I do prefer the ones when they're in their senior year and their college years. It's all a bunch of laughs but I am bummed that they aren't making any episodes and haven't for about five years now. So you're a Harry/Ginny fan? For some reason I just don't think Harry is that interested in Ginny. I read on about a Harry/Luna thing and it explained a lot of interesting facts. It's really good and carefully written.
Now that I'm all done with my shout out to my wonderful reviewers it's time for me to give you the next chapter.
Chapter 6: The ball
We entered the entrance hall and found a beautifully decorated ball with Christmas lights that sparkled. Ice sculptors were placed on the ceiling of the Great Hall in the form of what appeared to be every single Hogwarts student who was at the dance. (A/N: I thought that this would make it more interesting. But I guess I forgot to mention the fact that this is set around Christmas time.) Pictures were being taken at the far-left corner of the Great Hall. The wall were no longer white but had a mural of Hogwarts students laughing and dancing and looking like they were having a good time.
The weird sisters were playing a classical tune as the real students in the hall took a seat at round tables. Ron, Luna, Parvati, and I all found seats on one of the outside edges. But of course the gentleman that I am pulled the seat out for Luna so she can be situated. She murmured quick "thank you" and sat. I looked over at Ron and found that he had not helped Parvati to her seat whatsoever but was looking on the menu trying to avoid conversation. Parvati didn't look like she really even cared.
Looking around the hall for Hermione to see where her and Dean were. I soon spotted them sitting with Seamus and Lavender also accompanied by Neville and Ginny. I smiled at this and wondered how this was all going to play out. If everything went well then everybody would be happy.
I turned back to Luna how was gazing at me with those light blue protuberant eyes. "So," I said starting up a conversation with her. "How are you doing in your classes?" I can not believe I started a conversation like that.
"It's really good. I'm especially exceeding in Charms. How has Defense Against the Dark Arts been for you?" She asked going along with this stupid topic of conversation.
"In my opinion, I think it is doing quite well. It's something I really want to stick with because I hope to be an Auror some day. What about you? What are you planning to do when you leave Hogwarts?"
"Perhaps I'll work as a Journalist for the Quibbler, you know, since he is the editor. I'm pretty sure he'll give me the job. And hopefully after that I'll hopefully be happily married with children and take care of them."
Luna smiled at the thought of this dream.
"That sounds nice and I hope to do the exact same thing some day. But I hope that it'll be my future wife that stays home. So that I can make enough money to support my family. Only I don't think I will have to with the money that my parents left me."
I looked across the table at Ron and Parvati and to my utter horror Ron was slurping down chicken soup with Parvati watching in disgust. She gave me a look that said I – can't – believe – you – set – me – up – with – this – slob.
When Luna wasn't looking I gestured my head toward the entrance hall. She nodded and made up some excuse about needing to use the powder room she got up and went to the entrance hall. Muttering that I needed to get some punch I slipped out there as well.
"Can you believe his manners? He's such a pig." Said Parvati as soon as I got there.
"I know . . . but I promise you'll be with Dean soon. I just really need you to do this first." I said trying to keep her playing the game.
She folded her arms and tapped her foot while saying, "you owe me big time buddy."
"I know I do. How about I do your potions homework for a month?" I asked trying to keep her interested.
Parvati unfolded her arms and placed her hands on her hip. "Make it two and we'll talk!"
"Alright two it is! But I really need you to do this!"
She went into the great hall and muttered something that sounded like; "you must really like these people!"
I followed her into the great hall and quickly grabbed a quick glass of punch for both me and Luna and hurried back to the table where I discovered that Ron had finished eating and was now watching Dean and Hermione with jealousy written all over him.
Parvati was now eating the exact same thing Ron was. Only she was sipping the soup and looking at Ron making me realize that she's trying to prove to him that this is the way to do it. But once she realized he didn't care she just started to watch Dean and Hermione too, with which you could tell that she also was quite jealous of them.
Sighing I thought, this is going to be a really slow night.
A/N: Sorry I didn't want the chapter to be too terribly long. So I had to cut it up a little bit.
