Chapter 13:
The Halloween Dance

When morning arrived, the air at Hogwarts was full of mystery and Excitment.The Great Hall was all decorated for the nights event.The ceiling was enchanted to be dark and cloudy, there were jack O-lanters and live Bats all over the place flying about. Large spider webs were in the corners and on doors.Everything in the castle was creepy.

When the Slytherins and Gryffindors went down to potions that morning, there was a huge tarantula waiting for them in front of Snape's door.It told them a riddle if they didn't answer correctly it wouldn't let them in.Each person had to go up to it and try to solve it.Ron had a fit and refused to go up to the spider.After about 30 minutes, Snape took pity and let them inside.

"Not even able to solve a riddle? I am terribly disappointed in you all"he said in a drawling voice.They knew he was Refering to the Gryffindors, for he never got upset with the SLytherins.After potions they had Herbology.They had to carve faces into the pumpkins they had planted in the beginning of the year.Malfoy accidentally almost chopped Blasies hand off when he was talking to Gabi."Careful Mr.Malfoy We do not want some ones hand lying around, now do we!"said Profesor Sprout.Malfoy mimicked her which caused Gabi to laugh and knock her pumpkin seeds into Pansy's hair, who was kneeled down picking up her own.The entire Green House was full of laughter.This made Pansy go haywire and smash her pumpkin on Malfoys head;which made Malfoy look like a scarecrow but with a pumpkin for a head.Gabi was trying so hard not to laugh as Pansy ran off, but couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing until the end of class."This is not my day..."mumbled Malfoy

After class, they had lunch.Malfoy still smelled like a pumpkin.He waited until lunch was over to go take a long shower to get rid of the smell.When he got out of the shower,Gabi was coming in carrying a book.He had a towel wrapped around his waist, and was drying his hair.(A/N:: yet again...tom in a towel... ; ) She looked up and saw him shirtless."Sorry!" she said turning red. He looked up and smirked,"Couldn't resist could you?"he said teasingly."Oh shut up!, I-I came to R-Return your book...I should go.."she said hurriedly.She made her way to the door before setting the book on his bed."Why are you such in a hurry?" he asked grabbing her wrist and pulling her towards him." No...I should G-Get going...really.." she said in a whisper.But she couldn't resist...he was just so...attractive to her.(A/N: isn't he!? I mean who wouldn't- sorry! back to the story!!) His sparking blue eyes, the blonde hair that hung over his eyes,and his tall figure.This time she leaned in forward,"Would you be my partner to the dance?" whispered Malfoy. (A/N: we knew that was coming! dang it i gotta stop interrupting!! sorry...again!) Gabi stared at him."It would be my pleasure..." she said.Moments later her lips were on his.....

A couple of hours later it was time to get ready for the dance.Gabi was in her room getting ready.She was going as Juliet (guess who is going as Romeo?)she took a shower earlier and was now standing in front of her mirror, with a towel wrapped around her, she was trying to figure out what to do with her hair....Back at Malfoys dorm he was getting dressed as well.He had on a white long-sleeve button up shirt,with silver-white pants.He had an armor shield over his chest, and a silver sword hanging oh his belt loop.He was gelling his hair back like he had in his 1st two years.When he had finished he walked down to the Slytherin common room, he saw Blaise in the corner and talked to him for a while, he was dressed up as a Goblin.Malfoy waited anxiously for Gabi's arrival.

Gabi who decided to let her hair down, which was unusual because it was always in a ponytail or bun.She slipped on her white and silver dress, the sleeves were long and dragged behind her,the neckline was silver.The back of the dress was cut into a V, so it exposed some of her back.The dress covered her feet and slowly followed behind her.She walked over to her trunk and got out a silver cloak, she draped it over her shoulders pulling the hood above her head.She then pulled out a Mask that only covered her eyes, it was silver , around it was white.Whe she had finished she walked down slowly trying not to trip over the dress.Malfoy started a game of wizards chess with Blasie."Damn, that is the third time Blaise!" muttered Malfoy,"Seems you don't know much about Wizards Chess do you?"asked Blaise.Malfoy shook his head;Gabi came down gracefully,Blaise nudged Malfoy in the ribs,"What was th-"he stopped and looked up at Gabi, his jaw dropped.She blushed slightly at his reaction."G-Gabi...you err...look...Beautiful.."he said finally, she giggled,"Thank you....you look quite handsome yourself Mr.Malfoy"she said walking up to him.He gulped and stood up"Lets get...um..going" he offered his arm to her, and they both made their way to the great hall.

When they arrived everyone was mostly there,Dumbledore had gotten each a wizard band and a Muggle band to play at the dance.Right now the Weird Sisiters were playing.Everybody was in costume,The hall was decorated for the occasion, the ceiling was the night sky with a full moon in the middle,there was mist and fog as well;The Pumpkins that each student carved were hovering above them in mid-air.There was live spiders crawling up the walls, and big,ugly,black bats flying around.The ghosts were floating around as well and there was blood on one of the walls, which was bewitched to say 'Happy Halloween' Some of the teachers weren't dressed up in a costume, but their DADA teacher was,Professor Trint was dressed as a Mummy.All in All everyone was enjoying themselves.On the other side Harry watched Ron and Hermione dancing for about an hour;Harry was not having as much fun.He was dressed up as a Vampire, Ron was Frankenstine and Hermione was an Eygtian Witch.'She looks nice in black hair' thought harry.It was getting close to midnight and harry still hadn't danced with no one,Just then Parvati who was an angle came up to him, "Hey Harry!"she yelled over the music."Hey"he yelled back,"Wanna Dance?"she asked Harry looked at her with a bright smile."sure!" she smiled and dragged him onto the dance floor.

Malfoy and Gabi seemed inseparable.Already 4 girls came up to Malfoy asking him to dance,but he turned them down by saying he needed to stay with his date.Gabit told him that he didn't have to stick around her the whole night.Durring one of the songs Peeves thought it would be funny to dump a bag full of live eye-balls on Professor Snape.The Great Hall was full of laughter,it was even funnier when he stood up and slipped on one of them.Professor McGonagall was laughing the hardest.Fred and George even made an appearance,they were to introduce the Muggle Band that had come to preform."Give a Loud round of applause to Our Musical Guest......EVANESANCE!!!!!!!" he yelled.Malfoys eyes widen,this was one of his favorite bands.He was probably the loudest.Gabi looked at him,"I didn't know you liked Muggle bands?"she asked him,Malfoy gave her a smirk."There is a lot that you don't know about me,My dear." he said sweetly,she pushed him to the side.The music began to play it was 'Going Under', some kids were singing to it.Malfoy of course was singing, he was practically yelling,Gabit laughed and joined in only at the parts she knew.It was crazy.People yelling,screaming,jumping;clearly it was the best dance ever.

At 11:50 the band finished up their last song which was'Bring me to life' said their good-byes and left.They then turned their attention to Dumbldore."It is about time to announce the winner....wait Iam sorry, The winner's of the costume contest" he pulled out a piece of paper.Everyone waited anxiously to who the winner was.Dumbldore read the paper his eyes moving back and forth he looked up and smiled at everyone,"And the winners are.......Draco Malfoy and Gabriella Parker!" everyone gasped and turned to their direction.Malfoy and Gabi gasped and gave each other a hug,"That was something I was not expecting..." she cried out-loud."What? us winning or the hug?"he asked smirking, she shoved him aside and made her way up to the front,Malfoy laughed and followed.Professor Dumbledore clapped as they came up, he placed a crown on each of their heads, and they made their way down the steps and into the middle.The music began to play,Malfoy and Gabi were a bit confused, but realized what was going on,They had to dance with each other.Malfoy turned a bit red and looked at Gabi,by the look on her face it seemed that she felt the same way.Malfoy raised his hand up, Gabi slipped her hand into his, he moved his other hand to her waist, and Gabi place her hand on his shoulder.Back in a corner stood pansy, jealousy was rising in her.She felt like strangling the girl who was with Malfoy.Fire works started to go off outside.The bright colors of Red,Orange,Blue,Green,Silver, and Purple was all that could be seen through the windows.It was the best night of their lives.
