Disclaimer:I do not own Harry Potter so don't sue.

Hermione and Ginny left early for Hogsmead the next day to look for costumes. They went to a local costume shop called: Madame Le Bousche's Costume un Shop.

"Wow, these costumes are amazing!"exclaimed Ginny taking a princes costume from the hanger.

"Ya, hay I think I found my perfect costume. Come look at these pixie costumes Ginny" said Hermione flipping through the costumes."They come with a free mask to"

"Great! How much are they?"aske Ginny.

"Only one galleon, there on sale"said Madame Le Bousche.

"We'll take them"said Hermione. After they got thier costumes it was only one so they went to a salon. Hermione got her hair straightened then cut short then curled. Ginny got her hair put into a chinese bun with flowers.

It was 4:30 so the girls went back up to the castle for dinner.

"Wow, you girls look great!"exclaimed Neville.

"Why thank you Neville."said Hermione taking a seat between him and Ron while Ginny sat betweem Harry and Dean.

"You look amazing Hermione"said Seamus taking a seat beside Dean.

"Oh thank you Seamus"Said Hermione blushing deeply.

Harry saw this and grew jealus.

"I agree with Saemus, you look very beautiful. You to Ginny"said Harry.

"Gee, thanks Harry"said Ginny and Hermione at once.

After dinner everyone but Seamus and Harry went up to the common room.

"What is with you Harry, you know I like Hermione and that I'm the one going out on a date with her, tonight!"shouted Seamus when they were alone in the Entrance Hall.

"I don't know, I just...I just like her"stammered Harry.

"Well it may have tooken you five years to notice her, but I noticed her since day one. You had your chance now it's my turn. So back off"said Seamus, and stormed up the stairs. Leaving Harry standing there alone to think.

Back up in the common room Hermione and Ginny were putting on thier costumes.

Hermione's costume consisted of a green spagetti strap top that did up with ties in the fron and a black skirt that ended above the knees, her mask was black and had a string on the back so she just slipped it on, She also had a pair of small bluesh white wings.

Ginny was wearing a pear of pants with Pixie on the butt with a blue tube top.

They also added fake vampire teeth for fun.

When they went down to the common room Ron dressed like a vampire, Harry Frankenstien, Neville a werewolf, Dean a prince and Seamus Freddy Crouger.

"Nice costumes"said Ginny flashing her vampire fangs.

"You guys look great, what are you supposed to be, pixies?"asked Ron.

"Ya Ron how'd ya guess"said Ginny sarcasticly.

"Well first you are dressed like pixies and you have wings"stated Ron.

"Oh, Ron your hopeless"giggled Hermione.

"Well see you guys, I gotta go get Luna"said Neville.

"Oh Neville, tell Luna I said hi"Hermione called after him.

"Will Do"He hollared back.

"So shall we head down."said Dean.

"Sure go ahead, I'm going to see if I can catch up to Neville and grab Padma"said Harry rushing out of the portrait. Just then Lavender came down in a lovely princes costume. She was wearing a long sparkling pink gown and a shiny silver tiara.

"Okay Ron, I'm ready to go"she said.

So all six of them went down to the Entrance hall to wait for the train taking them to Hogsmeade.

Once on the train they found Neville and Harry in an empty compartment.

"Wheres Luna and Padma"asked Ron taking a seat next to Neville.

"Oh, they went to thier own compartment.We're meeting up with them at the party."replied Harry.

"I think me and Dean are going to go sit with Micheal Corner in another compartment"said Seamus.

"Okay, I guess me and Ginny will meet you at the party to then" said Hermione sitting next to Harry.

There they are again, the butterfly's in my stomach, thought Harry.

"K, see ya"said Dean and Seamus before taking off.

"I think I'm going to"said Lavender"so I'll see you at the Party Ron"

"Okay, see ya"replied Ron obviously not paying attention while playing chess with Neville.

Ginny left to go to the bathroom and didn't come back for an hour.

"Ginny where were you"asked Harry conserned.

"Oh, I went to the bathroom to touch up on my makeup"said Ginny.

"Okay then, why don't we play exploding snap for a while"suggested Ron.

So they all played exploding snap until the train came to a stop.

Everyone found thier dates and headed for townsqaure.

A band was already set up and playing a low key beat. Soon when most people were there the band started to play:

"My milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard,

And thier life is better than yours,

Damn right thier better than yours,

I could teach you but I'd have to charge,

My milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard..."

Ginny, Hermione, Luna and Padma hit the dance floor and danced all through that song. They were really quite good, people stoped dancing to look at them kick it and when they stop everyone claped.

After Ironic from Elanis Moraset came on and they went and sat down with the guys.

"Uuuuh, I hate this song! She could have at least looked up ironic in the dictionary before making the song"said Ginny.

Just then the band anounced that there were going to be kareoke.

"Come on Ginny, you should go. Look Draco Malfoys going you should go show him up"said Luna.

"Okay I think I will"said Ginny and challenged Malfoy to a battle of songs. He accepted and started.

Malfoy started singing...
