The main hall looked breathtaking. There were decorations everywhere and every few minutes students would arrive with their dates.
"Ouch Ron, you stood on my foot." Hermione whispered, angrily, as they were dancing.
Ron, who was busy looking at Lily and Malfoy, didn't even hear her.
"How can he be two-timing somebody as beautiful as her?" Ron remarked angrily. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Oh get over it!"
She stormed of the dance floor and over to Harry and Ginny, who were having a quiet chat in the corner of the hall. Ginny looked slightly disappointed as she saw Hermione approach them.
"Hi, Ron is being really annoying. Has anyone seen Fred?" She looked around the hall. Ginny gave her a weird look.
"Or George" Hermione added hastily.
Harry nodded.
"Fred is over there with Angelina. I've no idea where George is."
At that moment, George entered the hall with his date. Everyone laughed. Linked to George's arm was….Dobby, who was dressed in a pink robe.
Hermione shook her head.
"I don't believe him" She rushed over to him.
"George! Don't you know anything about my organisation, S.P.E.W! You should not be using house elves as a form of entertainment. I am outraged at your behaviour. You should know better! You are almost an over aged wizard"
But George had long lost interest. He was now dancing with Dobby, who obviously loving all the attention.
Meanwhile, Malfoy had dumped Lily for Pansy. Ron was sitting alone as Hermione had stormed out of the ball, in outrage at George's behaviour.
Ron approached Lily.
"I never dance but I'll make an acception for you. Do you want to?"
Lily looked up in surprise. She smiled.
"Ok!"
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion and the serial killer, Gingratus Mufflestutter appeared at the entrance to the hall. He had his wand out.
Everybody was screaming. Nobody had brought their wands with them to the ball because they didn't think they would need them.
"Revalious Bluddz" Mufflestutter whispered to his wand.
All of a sudden a red dot appeared above the heads of all the muggle borns…….
