Chapter 5:
Halloween Ball Part 1
--------------------------
(A/N: I'm skipping ahead to a week before the Halloween Ball)
----------
Towards the end of dinner, Professor McGonagall taped the side of her glass with her spoon. The Headmaster rose out of his seat.
"Students, I would like to make an announcement. As you all know, Halloween is in a week, so to celebrate, the school will hold a Masquerade Ball. 3rd years and up are invited. I would like to ask you not to bring dates because your masks will have a charm put on them so that you can not take them off and you will not be able to recognize each other. At midnight all masks will be taken off and with one last song, which will end out Ball. If you choose not to where a mask, a memory charm will be put on you. The Ball starts at 7:30. Have a good evening." With that, all the students got up and left.
---------------------------------------------
The week had gone by quickly, and before everyone knew it, it was time to prepare for the Ball. Lilly had offered Rose to come into her Head's quarters, so that they can get ready together. (Lilly and Rose had become friends, duh.)
Lilly had dressed up as a princess. She was wearing a simple A-line, red dress, with gold patterns at the bottom of the dress and at the edge of the sleeves. She was wearing a red pointed hat, with simple gold see-through fabric attached to the top. (A/N: I'm talking about the princess of make-believe when we were little…like those type of hats ect….remember???) Her hair was let down, and had a slight wave to it. She was also wearing a small red and gold mask. The only makeup she wore was a red lipstick. (the ones that come from above the eyebrow and goes to the middle of the noose?? Do you understand??)
Rose dressed up as a girl from the 60's with a knee-length poodle skirt. (I'll start from the bottom up) She had black and white Chucks as shoes. Her skirt was an emerald green color, a hot pink belt, had a small picture of a black cat and the cat's collar and leach was made from silver sequins. The ruffles under her skirt were made from a hot pink material. She was wearing a white polo with an emerald green cursive R over her heart. Her hair was magic-ed longer, so she could put her hair in a high pony-tail and have an extra curl of the hair hanging down. Her mask was a black, cat-like, even with whiskers that had little emeralds on the tip. Her mask was like Lilly's, but did not cover as much face as Lilly's did and Rose's mask had the upper edges had a slight point. Her makeup was mascara and a bright pink lipstick.
Finished and satisfied, they both jogged quickly to the Great Hall.
---------------------------------
The Hall was wonderfully decorated. Most of the students and teachers were already there. As soon as they walked in, one of the teachers casted the spell and they went off in there separate ways.
After a while of doing nothing, a boy dressed as one of the 3 musketeers walked up to her. He had a black mask, sandy blond/brown hair, and a red and gold costume. He looked strangely familiar, but Rose did not remember who it was. A slow song came on. He gave a slight bow, and asked;
"May I have this dance?" She gave a small curtsey and nodded.
For the rest of the night, Rose and her mystery man talk without giving any vital information about who she is or what house she came from. They both had a lot in common, and Rose was starting too really like this boy. It was now 11:00. They were in the garden when they heard the second to last slow song. He looked at her and she nodded. She wrapped her arms around her neck; he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. They started swaying to the music.
"…..And roped me in
so memorizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated.
I am vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all a long.
And I am flawed
But I'm cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that
I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away 3x
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away 4x"
The guy pulled her closer to him.
"I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong"
She looked up into his eyes.
"I am right"
Her heart beat quickened. His face was coming closer to hers.
"I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along"
There noses were almost touching.
"Slight hope"
She closed her eyes.
"It dangles on a string"
His lips met hers.
"Like slow spinning redemption..."
