The Halloween Dance
Disclaimer: Star: Some one please do the disclaimer!
Harry: I'm not
Hermione: Me neither
Draco: Don't even ask
Ginny: I would, but no
Ron: I don't even have a big part
Star: if someone doesn't say the disclaimer, I'll kill off Ginny.
Draco: you wouldn't
Star: wouldn't I?
Draco: Fine... Star in a Daze doesn't own Harry Potter, the wonderful and talented JK Rowling does. And all of us characters in the story love her because she doesn't threaten to kill our fiancées
Star: Hey, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't HAVE a fiancée
Draco: shut up!
Star in a Daze: And this is why I love reading fan fictions! The authors come up with such excellent disclaimers! They give me ideas and I just love them so much! But I give all of the credit to that girl! I'll try to get her name by the end of the chappie! Also, I'm sorry, I'm skipping the rest of September. Please forgive me! Please R&R I love you all my reviewers! XOXO!
Over the next few weeks Harry and Hermione spent most of their time trying to save Draco from the wrath of Ron. Ron had decided to wait outside of all of the classes that Draco had and attack him as he walked out. But Draco had taken refuge with Harry and Hermione. He was with one of them at all times, and if something horrible happened when it was just the two of them Harry would contact Hermione or Hermione would contact Harry.
At the end of September signs started to go up around the school about the Halloween dance. Everyone was talking about it.
Hey hot stuff Harry wrote on a piece of paper during charms. He passed it to Hermione.
Hey sexy
How you doin'?
I'm fine? Are you?
Oh I'm just chillin' chillin like a strawberry fillin'
Okay then
You wanna go to the Halloween ball with me?
Sorry, I'm going with Ron
Really?
No! Of course I'll go with you!
Awesome!
Just then Professor Okkerse walked by and picked up the note. He stood there and read it.
"Harry, Hermione, no more notes that I am too disturbed to read".
"Then don't read them". Harry said sarcastically. Okkerse looked at him and laughed. "Don't laugh Shane". He laughed even harder and then gave them back their note.
That night (Monday, October 5th) Harry and Hermione were sitting in their living room with Ginny and Draco. They were trying to decide what they would dress up as for the Halloween dance. There was a costume contest.
"I want to be a devil". Said Ginny, smiling. Draco looked at her.
"Then be a devil. You would be so hot... no pun intended". Everyone laughed.
"I think I want to go as a 15th century princess," said Hermione. Harry smiled at her.
"Of course". Draco looked at Harry.
"Hey Harry, what are you going to be?"
"An elf, a woodland elf. What about you?"
"I have no clue!" Hermione looked thoughtful.
"How about you be Louis, from the Vampire chronicles".
"Cool". Draco said. "Okay, I'll be Louis!"
That Saturday the four of them went to Hogsmead to buy the costumes.
Harry and Draco left the girls when they started to look at dresses. They went into a shop that sold all different kinds of men's clothes.
Draco started looking through the tuxes. He chose a black one, with a silver vest and a black cape with silver lining. He decided that he would enchant his teeth to look like a vampire's. Harry was having a bit of difficulty, but in the end he decided that he would wear a pair of green pants, his boots with daggers, but he always wore them anyway, and an elvish shirt that had been given to him by Dumbledore, who said it was his father's.
Harry and Draco met up with the girls and they all went back to Hogwarts.
The following Thursday when Harry, Hermione and Katrina went to their Auror training Mad eye told them that they would become Animagi that night.
The three of them went through many steps to become the animals. First they had to drink the potion, which was the easiest part. Then they had to work.
"Come on, you can do it, just think really hard about the animal that you want to become!" Mad Eye kept telling them. The three of them struggled to change but they weren't succeeding, but Harry managed to light Dumbledore's desk on fire after Mad Eye said that for the fifteenth time.
All of a sudden Harry remembered something Lupin had said to him.
"Sirius loved you Harry, he always did. He always thought of you as a son, the son he never had".
That gave Harry the strength. He just thought about how much he loved his Godfather and he changed into the dog.
"Harry, you did it". Hermione said happily. Harry transformed back.
"Yeah, I did".
"Sirius would have been so proud of you Harry".
"Thank you". Harry hugged Hermione.
Really, Hermione thank you. All I did was think about what Moony said about Sirius and I felt the power come to me.
Harry, Sirius was always proud of you. Remember that.
I'll try
Everyone was looking at them. While Harry and Hermione were talking they just looked at each other. They were just standing there when suddenly Harry said.
"Thank you Hermione, I needed that". Katrina looked at him funny.
"Um Harry, are you okay, she never did anything except stand there and look at you for a little while.
"She did way more than that Katrina". Harry hugged Hermione again. "I love you".
"I love you too Harry".
By the end of the session both Hermione and Katrina could transform at will, along with Harry. Harry kept saying things to her like "You can do it Hermione" and "I'll dump you if you don't get it" in her head. He was just joking about the dumping thing, but as soon as he said it Hermione transformed.
The next few weeks passed and soon it was Saturday, October 31st. Halloween. Harry and Hermione walked down into the Great Hall to be greeted by hundreds of flying bats and at least three-dozen pumpkins. They walked over to the Slytherin table and sat down with Draco and Ginny. They had a habit of switching back and forth between the Gryffindor and Slytherin tables.
That afternoon Harry and Hermione helped the rest of the teachers set up the Great hall for the dance. Hermione helped get the stage ready while Harry set up the food.
"Hey Potter". Said Snape. "Light the candles". Harry nodded and suddenly the candles burst into flames. They shone brighter than they ever have before. "How the hell did you do that?"
"Easily". Harry pointed at a fireplace at the end of the hall and that too burst into flames, and then Harry turned to look at Snape. "Now, watch it closely". Snape looked at it and the fire took the shape of an eagle, then the eagle flew up and out of the fireplace. All of the teachers stopped what they were doing and watched as the eagle flew to Hermione and perched in front of her.
"Harry". Dumbledore said. "Stop it. Put the bird out".
"Fine". Suddenly the bird disappeared with a wisp of smoke. All the teachers clapped, except for Snape who looked confused.
"Are you an elemental?" He asked. "What am I saying, of course you're not, and I would have been informed if you were".
"Don't be so sure Severus". Harry said. He winked and then walked over to Hermione. "Did you like my eagle?"
"Yes, I loved it. It was so pretty".
"It was you, in your eagle form of course". Hermione smiled and hugged him.
"Thank you".
After the Great Hall was set up Harry and Hermione went up to their room to get ready for the dance.
"Harry, have you seen my crowny thing?" Hermione asked.
"You mean that necklace that you wear on your head? Yeah, that's on the bathroom counter".
"Thanks".
"Yeah, no problem". Hermione took up the washroom after that.
Harry got into his costume and then cast a spell to show his real appearance, with the elvish ears. Once the charm was cast Harry's eyes went all blurry. He took off his glasses and he could see perfectly. In fact, he could see better than he had ever seen in his life. And sounds around him were now clearer.
At ten to seven Hermione came out of the bathroom and she was beautiful. She was wearing a long blue dress with a gold trim around the waist, cuffs and neckline. She wore the communicator around her neck and her hair was in elegant waves with the necklace crown on top of her head.
"Hermione, you're beautiful". Harry said gasping. Hermione blushed.
"Thank you Harry and you are so handsome. And I love your ears. Are you going to keep them like this from now on, I mean since you are actually a half elf?"
"I might. And if I do, I won't need to wear my glasses anymore. My eyes are perfect now".
Harry and Hermione walked out and up to the Gryffindor common room, where Draco was waiting outside for Ginny. He looked exactly like a vampire should. The tuxedo with the silver made him look mysterious and the teeth made him look dangerous, and the hair, well the hair was just hot. He said hi to them and the three of them waited for Ginny.
About two minutes later Ginny came out in a really awesome costume. She was wearing knee-high red boots, a really short strapless red dress that would look like a tube top and skirt if it wasn't for the crisscross straps going up and down her stomach. Her fiery red hair with the blue streaks was down and devil horns were placed in her hair. She carried a three point, red pitchfork and there was a tail attached to the dress.
"Hey Ginny". Harry said. "Do you want me to do something for you?"
"Like what?"
"Well, I'm a fire elemental, so I could make flames come up from your feet, or I could make your hair flame, without hurting it of course".
"Actually, I like the fire coming from the feet thing". Harry nodded and a few seconds later there was a circle of flames surrounding Ginny's feet. Whenever she took a step the flames would come with her. "Thanks Harry, I love it, it's so cool".
"Hey Ginny, what's that?" Hermione asked, pointing to her ears. Ginny took out a compact mirror and she saw little flames, like earrings, on her ears.
"AWESOME! Thanks Harry". Harry grinned and winked.
"Come on, let's go to the dance".
The four of them walked down to the Great hall where they bumped into Ron. "Hey Ron". Harry said. "What's up?"
"Nothing, I'm waiting for Erin".
"Is she your date?"
"Yup!"
"Awesome". The four of them left Ron and went to the front of the stage, where the Weird Sisters were playing. As they were walking by everyone, they turned some heads. All the girls were looking at Harry and Draco and the guys were looking at Ginny and Hermione. But everyone was looking at the fire coming from Ginny.
"That is so cool".
"I wonder how she did it".
"I love the earrings". Ginny just smiled at them all as she passed with Draco.
The weird sisters stuck up their first song, which was a slow song and Harry turned to Hermione.
"May I have this dance?" he asked, holding out his hand. Hermione smiled.
"Of course". She took it and the two of them started dancing.
"People wonder what they're looking at
But they don't see a thing
They stare at all the people
Like they're a Queen or King
They see what's on the outside
But they don't know a thing
They keep on judging
Like they know everything
There are so many people in the world
That think they're better than you or me
And we keep on acting
To be what they want us to be
Why do we keep on changing?
For people who just don't see
What we want to be...
There will always be someone
Someone who is always better
But if you stay true to you
Your life will always be better
All those popular people
That you see everyday
They're hiding themselves
Behind a mask
Pushing their life away
There are so many people in the world
That think they're better than you or me
And we keep on acting
To be what they want us to be
Why do we keep on changing?
For people who just don't see
What we want to be...
Take off the mask
Throw out the disguise
Just don't care
What they see in their eyes
Make an image
Of what you want to be
And stay like that forever
Why don't you people see that...?
There are so many people in the world
That think they're better than you or me
And we keep on acting
To be what they want us to be
Why do we keep on changing?
For people who just don't see
What we want to be...
There are so many people in the world
That think they're better than you or me
Get off that stage
Be what you want to be
Don't ever change
For people who just don't see
What you want to be...
What you want to be...
What you want to be..." The crowd started clapping. Harry looked at Hermione and kissed her quickly, and then they went off in search of Draco and Ginny.
After a few minutes of searching they found Draco and Ginny just looking at something against the wall.
"What are you looking a-aaaah oh my god". Harry said. He saw Ron and Erin making out against the wall. Harry cleared his throat and Ron looked at them.
"Oh, hi Harry, Hermione, Ginny... Malfoy. This is Erin".
"Yeah Ron". Harry said. "We know". Ron blushed. He quickly got up and helped Erin up.
"We'll just- ummm- go now". Ron said. He grabbed Erin's hand and the two of them left. Harry shook his head.
About halfway through the dance Lupin tapped Harry on the shoulder.
"PJ, there is someone who I want you to meet". Harry took Hermione's hand and they followed Lupin. "I would like you to say hello to Amanda".
