Chapter 6:
All Hallow's Eve

The rest of September and most of October went well for everyone. It was now October 31st and the All Hallow's Eve (Halloween) Ball was at 8:00. Hermione was in her room getting ready. She was dressed as a fire fairy. Her wings were made of fire and her hair was a flaming red-burgundy with gold highlights and it was short like a pixie cut and had a shredded look. She had a frayed reddish bronze halter and a skirt the same color that had a jagged bottom. She had on a red and gold anklet. Hermione also had gold shimmer powder all over her body and her eyes went from red to bronze and gold. Her fingernails and toe nails were bronze with red flames on them.

She walked down the great hall bare-foot. She walked in and every one turned to look at her. Ginny, Ron, and Harry rushed up to her. "You look great!" Harry and Ron said simultaneously. "Yes, very beautiful!!" Draco said from behind them. Draco was dressed as Romeo from "Romeo and Juliet", most people had to ask since it was from a muggle author.

"And aren't you handsome!" said Hermione. Draco smiled at her. Harry almost died of shock, "YOU SMILED!"

"Uh, Yeah." was Draco's reply.

"I have never really seen you smile!" Harry said.

At that moment Dumbledore stood up, "This year we have a surprise, there will be a costume contest! The 1st place winner will receive 20 gallons and 75 house points for their house, 2nd place will receive 10 gallons and 50 house points, 3rd place will receive 5 gallons and 25 house points." The entire hall cheered. "To register," he continued, "hold your wand in the air."

Hermione put her wand in the air and a ribbon appeared on her shirt, it said #1.

"We will call you up on stage to the judges table by the number you received. Now, will #1 please come up here to the judge's table. I suggest all students watch as well. You get a vote as well."

Hermione made her way up to Dumbledore and everyone gasped when she got onto the platform.

"State you name and house." McGonagall said.

"Hermione Granger, Gryffindor." then the teachers gasped, including Dumbledore.

"Ms. Granger?!?" asked Snape.

"Yep, the one and only." she replied.

"I must say, you look stunning." Snape said.

"Wow! Thank you." She replied.

"Ok, judges, mark you score!" said Dumbledore.

After they finished she went back to her date and they began to dance. While Draco and Hermione were dancing she got an excellent idea.

"Draco, I'm going to steal Harry from Ginny for a dance. I have an idea to run by him!" she said.

"What kind of idea?" he asked.

"A good one!" She ran over to Harry and Ginny.

"May I borrow your date for a dance, I have and idea to run by him!" she asked Ginny.

"Ok." Ginny replied.

She led Harry away from the main crowd.

"Harry, I got an idea!" she said with an evil gleam in her eye.

"Oh god, what is it?"

"We need to play a little game of truth or dare!"

"And who are we going to invite?"

"Me, you, Ginny, Draco, Ron, and who does Ron like?"

"He likes Lavender."

"Ok, tell Ginny and Ron and meet up at my common room after the ball!"

With that she left Harry and went to find Lavender.

"Lavender, would you like to join me and some of my friends for a little game of truth or dare after the ball?"

"Oh, absolutely, where?" lavender asked.

"In my common room."

"I'll be there!" Lavender said happily.

At that moment Draco walked up and kissed her lightly, "What are you getting me into?" he asked.

"Just a little game!"

"Will I like it?"

"Oh, I think so."

They danced to one more song when Dumbledore stood and announced,

"Would contest entries #1, 8, 15, 21, 18, and 32 please come back up to the stage?"

After all six students were on the platform he said,

"Will all other students please pull out your wands and say "Ballot Oculei!" they did and a ballot appeared from the tops of the wands.

"Ok, now will everyone vote and place the ballot in the boxes up front."

Everyone did and the boxes magically counted the ballots.

"Ok, 3rd place goes to #32, Harrison McWatters for his wonderful vampire costume. 2nd goes to #18 Jeremy Horne for the delightful garden gnome outfit he chose, and 1st place goes to ...... #1 Hermione Granger for her absolutely splendid and stunning fire fairy appearance!"

After the mini award ceremony the gang (Hermione, Draco, Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Lavender) took a walk through the gardens set up outside. Then they headed to the Head dorm. When they cleared away the furniture and grabbed some pillows the game began.
