Chapter Eleven- Halloween Ball Pt1
As she finished putting her hair in an up-do and applied her heavy make-up, she admired herself in the mirror. Her black, skimpy dress was a tad skimpier than normal and adding her black,eye covering mask, she looked like the Devil of Seduction.
'Bellatrix Black, you are radient.' She said, smirking at herself.
'I have to hand it to you Bella, you've really out done yourself.' Lucius Malfoy was standing at the door, leaning against it's frame.
'Well, you know me.' She replied smirking.
'Unfortunatly.' He replied bowing, and walking over towards her.
She hit him in the arm, 'So what do you want Malfoy? Looking for trouble, are we?'
'Last name bases. I'm disappointed. No, I'm here only on Rodolphus's request. He would like me to escourt you as well as Narcissa to the ball since he has so suddenly...how you say, fallen under the weather.'
She smirked, 'I'm sure he has.'
'All he wants is to please you Bella. Who wouldn't, but no doubt it's harder than hell when you have such a fiery seductress like yourself.' Lucius whispered, running his fingertips lightly over her arms.
'What can I say, I'm hard to please. He will never be able to please me, though, the way...'
'I could or the Dark Lord can. Am I right?'
'Yes.'
'Ah Bella, you are nothing like Narcissa. So full of fire and hate. So full of passion yet coldness. So full of beauty and power. The Perfect Servant. Narcissa is a frosty exterior. No emotions, No fear, only blank.'
'Well, my sister and I are quite different.'
'So who are you suppost to be Bella? Bride from Hell?' Lucius said smirking, looking at Bella's ensamble.
Bellatrix crossed her arms and smirked back, 'And who are you suppost to be?' She asked looking at his ensamble. Black robes with a billowing cape, and a black mask to top it off. His hair fell over his shoulders, loosly.
'Anyone you want me to be.' He whispered in her ear.
'Touché. It is getting rather late, shall we go and get this over with.'
'We shall.' He replied.
'And remember the plan.'
'Yes yes. I remember perfectly well what I am to do tonight. Lets just get going.' Lucius said, waving his hand, letting Bellatrix pass him then closed the door behind himself.
'I don't know about this one. Is it a little too much.' Tammy asked, admiring a green dress in the mirror.
'It's not enough if you ask me. It's way too short. If you're looking to be like Bellatrix Black, mission accomplished!' Mary-Elle stated.
'Great! I can't look like a whore! Especially in front of Angus tonight.'
'And who is Angus?'
'My date tonight. He's in Ravenclaw, 6th year.'
'Besides, who are you wearing that dress? The point of Halloween is to dress up as something. Who are you trying to be?' Lily asked confuessed.
'I don't know! So its way to short then? Alright.' Tammy replied, putting the dress down and returned to the closet to find another thing to wear.
'Leave it to Tammy to make us late as usual.' Mary-Elle said, rolling her eyes.
Lily chuckled, 'Well Julianna is no better. She's been in that bloody bathroom for over an hour.'
'No kidding. She doesn't have to look that good for Sirius.' Tammy said, from inside Lily's closet, 'So Lil, I don't reconize what you are.'
'Oh, well I'm Dorthy from the Muggle movie The Wizard of Oz and James is The Scare Crow.' Lily replied.
'Oh you mean that weird movie we watched at your house durning the summer?'
'Thats the one.'
'Creepy. That movie was so werid. How does James feel about being a Scare Crow?'
'He doesn't like the idea too much but I said if he did it for me, I'll make it up to him later.' Lily said winking.
'And May, I still haven't gotten what you are.Why do you have a table on your head?' Tammy said.
Mary-Elle sighed, 'I couldn't think of anything else to be so I decided to be what my mother made me every year I went out for Halloween when I was little. I'm suppost to be gum stuck underneath the table.'
Lily and Tammy just looked at each other and began to laugh.
'Thats so creative.' Lily said.
'And funny.' Tammy smiled.
'Yeah haha. Have you picked out what your going to be yet Tam? We don't have alot of time left.'
'I think I'll just put on Lily's old Tinker...Tinkerwell...' Tammy said.
'Tinkerbell hunny. It's Tinkerbell.' Lily said.
'Thats it, I'm just going to put on you old Tinkerbell costume and charm my hair blonde.
'Well now that that is settled.' Lily replied, walking over to the bathroom and knocked on the door, 'Julia? Are you ready? We have to leave in a mintue.'
'Yeah just give me 30 seconds.' She replied.
'So how do I look?' Tammy asked, walking out of the closet.
'Well, you pull off being Tinkerbell way better than I thought you would.' Lily smirked.
'Haha, very funny.' Tammy rolled her eyes, 'So is Julia coming yet?'
'She should be.'
The bathroom door suddenly opened and out stepped Julianna. She was dressed in a knee short red V-neck dress, she also was wearing a red cape that went a little pass her dress that also had a hood.
'Now I definatly don't know what you are.' Tammy said.
'Aw you look so cute.' Lily said.
'I'm Little Red Riding Hood.' Julianna replied smiling.
'Oh...and who's that?' Tammy asked.
'I'ts a character from a Muggle book.' Lily replied.
'Is that the one with the wolf?' Mary-Elle asked.
'Yeah.' Julianna replied smiling
'That would have been so much better if you had went with Remus then you could be Little Red and he could be the Wolf. Cute.' Tammy smiled.
'Come on. Lets get going. We're already late. I told the guys we'd meet them at the Entrance Hall at seven.' Lily said as the girls made their way out the door.
'A girl could never get me to dress up like that. No matter how hot she is.' Sirius managed to get out through all his laughing.
James sighed. He didn't know why he agreed to do this. Oh yes thats right. Lily promised she would "make it up" to him later. That was good enough for him. So here he stood, embarassed as hell all to please the woman he loved.
'That's what makes me so great with the ladies though. I'm willing to do something they want in order to...claim my own prize.' James said, smiking.
'I'm willing to do something they want. Just never that.' Sirius said.
'So I never really understood who you are, Sirius?'
'I'm that Muggle dude...Zor...Zors...Zoro! That it! I'm Zoro.'
'Oh brother.' Remus muttered
'Oh and like you did any better Moony!' Sirius said.
Remus looked down at his wardrobe. It was true. He really didn't try. He was wearing a white button down shirt and black trousers with a red robe to top it off.
'At least he doesn't look as pathetic as you.' James smirked.
'Hey, I wouldn't talk Straw Boy.'
'Straw Boy! God Padfoot, that really hurt.' James said, pressing his hand against his heart.
'Well, should we give Moony's costume a title so we don't look like idiots when the girls ask us and we say "We have no idea what he is." '
As the boys thought, James remember something Julianna had said to him a couple days ago
'I'm looking for Prince Charming thats all. I know he's out there somewhere.' She said
'So you don't think the Sirius is your Prince?' he asked.
'I think of Sirius as a good friend. Nothing could really happen between us. And you know as well as I do that he still loves Tammy. It's the way he looks at her. I'm still waiting for my Prince so sweep me off my feet.'
'Prince Charming.' James said.
'Huh?' Sirius replied.
'Prince Charming. Moony should be Prince Charming. He outfit is perfect for it.' James said.
'Hey boys. Sorry we're late.' Lily appeared from behind James and kissed his cheek.
'Hey. You look cute.' James replied grasping her hand in his.
'Thank you.'
'Oh there's Angus. I'll catch up with you guys later.' Tammy said, walking over to a guy with light brown hair and stood around 6 foot.
'And who the hell is Angus!' Sirius said.
'Tammy's date. 6th year Ravenclaw.' Mary-Elle replied.
'That isn't a problem though, is it?' Julianna asked, coming from behind Mary-Elle to stand in front of him.
'Wha...No! No of course not. I...I just think she could do better. He's sort of an ass.' Sirius said.
'Well that's not your concern is it Siri. You're with Julianna tonight. You've been looking forward to this for weeks now.' James said smirking.
'Uh...Right. Shall we?' Sirius said extending his hand to her.
As always, she hesitated in taking his hand but took it anyways.
'So your single tonight too eh May.' Remus asked as they all entered the Great Hall.
She shrugged her shoulders, 'I prefer it that way. Love really isn't for me. It also can't be that healthy to have a fast beating heart and butterflies in your stomach.'
Remus only laughed.
'So what about you How do you feel about being here alone?'
He frowned, 'It's not that big of a deal I guess. Except that I usually have James or Sirius or both to talk to me when going to these things but they both have dates tonight.'
Mary-Elle noticed the look he was giving Sirius and Julianna as they walked hand in hand around the place. She leaned over and whispered into his ear, 'You'll have her. Trust me.'
Remus had no time to reply because she was already off walking to catch up with James and Lily, who were chatting with Tammy and Angus.
'Look over there. Leave it to my sister and her stupid friend to dress like little Scarlet women and to have the ugliest dates in all of Hogwarts. Well actually, I have to hand it to Skylar, she managed to bag Evan Rockwood. He's not to bad looking when he's cleaned up. But Daphne with Severus Snape. Boy is that ever laughable.'
'Shows who has the brains in the family.' Angus said, kissing Tammy's neck.
'Yeah.' Tammy replied, uncomfortably.
As the music started up, they all looked around confuessed.
'What sort of music is this?' James yelled.
'Muggle music! The best music in the world.' Lily yelled back.
'Your only saying that because your Muggle-born.'
'Yeah, but you love it! Come on let's dance.' Lily yelled, pulling James towards the dance floor.
'You coming Remus?' Tammy yelled.
'No, I'm going to sit down for awhile!'
'Alright!'
'What the hell is this shit?' Lucius said
'I don't know!' Bellatrix replied.
'Sounds like the Muggle music my sister's friends play when they are over.' Daphne replied, throwing herself down into Snape's lap.
'God, what has this world come to.' Bellatrix said, 'So, have you spotted your "Eye Candy" yet.'
'No, I wasn't bothering to look for her. I'm not going to...as you would say, prance on her just yet. I'm biding my time.'
'Who.. are.. you... "biding... your... time"... for?' Skylar asked, between kisses she placed on Evan's lips.
'Julianna Zandwyk.'
'Why in the world are you giving your time to her? She's a worthless Gryffindor, just like my sister and the lot of her friends.' Daphne said, outraged, 'Besides, why would you want to even think of her, when you can have any girl falling at your feet.'
'Because, Miss Bluntson, there is many things I need to discuss with our young Miss Zandwyk and tonight seems to be the perfect night to do it.'
As the first slow song of the night started up, Julianna found herself flopping down in a chair. She has already danced so much this evening and it had only been thirty minutes into the ball. Here feet were killing her.
'Hey, first slow dance of the night eh?' Sirius said, sitting down next to her.
'Yeah. I love this song. It was my parent's wedding song.' Julianna replied.
'Oh..I'm sorry. Do...do you want to sit this one out?'
'You know what, I would love to dance to this song but my feet are absolutly killing me.'
'Oh. Here let me help.' Sirius said, taking out his wand and pointing it at her feet. A purple glow surrounded her feet and then suddenly was gone.
Julianna laughed, 'Thanks for you help Sirius but I don't think it worked. My feet still hurt.'
Sirius smiled, 'Here stand up. Trust me.'
As he helped her to her feet, it felt as if she wasn't standing on her feet at all. Felt as if she had no feet at all. She looked down to make sure that wasn't the case. Good. Still had feet. She thought.
'Wha...What did you do?' She asked.
'Tut tut. Who cares what I did. Come on. Lets dance.'
Oh, my love
my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
and time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me
'I'm impressed Mr.Black.' Julianna said smiling.
'With what?'
'Most Men don't know how to dance. I'm impressed.'
'Well, I can say that Mrs.Potter's constant nagging for us to go to a dance class with her finally payed off.'
Julianna laughed, 'James's mum got you to take a dance class?'
'Yeah. Remus and I were staying there over the summer before third year and we were complaining that we were bored so Mrs. Potter dragged us to one of her dance classes. Guess it's paying off.'
Lonely rivers flow to the sea,
to the sea
to the open arms of the sea
lonely rivers sigh 'wait for me, wait for me'
I'll be coming home wait for me
As they continued to dance, Sirius continued to notice that Julianna's focus wasn't on their dancing or him at all. She kept looking around the Great Hall and finally her eyes fell upon Remus and stayed there.
'Would it be rude of me to ask you something?' Sirius asked, bringing her attention back to him.
'No not at all.'
'You'd have rather Remus taken you tonight then me, right?'
Oh, my love
my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
and time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me
When the song ended, all Julianna could do was stare at him blankly. Although what he said was rather true, it would be rude to have said so.
As another slow song started, Sirius asked,' Shall we continue dancing or...'
'I'll take it from here Black.'
Sirius turned around to see Lucius standing behind him.
'That is, if Miss Zandwyk,'He put enphasis on her last name, 'Doesn't mind.'
'Sirius, is it alright with you?' She asked.
'Are you sure you'll be okay. You remember that conversation I had with you about Lucius.'
'He was in Slytherin when he was here. His family is full of Purebloods. Snooby Purebloods.' Sirius said with distest,' Alot like my family, even as old as my family.'
'He can't be all that bad. Aren't you being a little bit over dramatic?' Julianna replied
'You can never be over draamatic when talking about Lucius Malfoy. He's one of the worst people you could ever meet and you wouldn't want to cross his path in a darkened alley way. Just promise you'll stay clear of him. I don't want to see you get hurt.'
'Sirius don't worry. I can handle myself.' She said, kissing his cheek then allowing Lucius to take her further onto the dance floor.
'You look gorgeous tonight Miss Zandwyk.' Lucius said kissing her hand then pulling her close to him as they began to sway to the music.
'Why thank you Mr. Malfoy.'
Paolo: Have you ever seen such a beautiful night
Isabella: I could almost kiss the stars for shining so bright
Paolo: When I see you smile and I go oh oh oh
Isabella: I would never want to miss this
Paolo: In my heart, I know what this is
'I know your secret, Miss Zanwyk.' Lucius whispered into her ear.
Did she just hear correctly! He knows my secret! Just calm down Juls. Your overreacting. Maybe he is talking about Remus and how you like him.
'I don't know what your talking about Mr. Malfoy.'
'Oh I think you do Miss Zandwyk. I believe you know exactly what I'm talking about. I know about your parents, your past, I know what is going to happen to your future if you don't listen to me now.'
'How dare you talk to me like that.' Julianna replied trying to pull away from him but his grip was too tight. A death grip.
'You have no idea what I am capable of Miss Zandwyk. So I suggest you co-operate. The Dark Lord. He's very interested in all that has happened with you. He thinks you are very strong after all this. He wants you to join us.'
'Us?'
'Us. The Death Eaters. Well, more as his bride. Bride of the Dark Lord. Such fight in you, you'd be perfect.'
'I'd never lower myself down to the likes of you or any of you're friends.' She snapped.
Isabella: This is what dreams are made of
Paolo: This is what dreams are made of
Isabella: I've got
Together: Somewhere i belong
Isabella: I've got
Together: Somebody to love
Isabella: This what dreams are made of
'It is your choice, Miss Zandwyk. This is the easy way. I don't think you would like to find out the hard way. The Dark Lord will get what he wants. One way or another.' Lucius replied as the slow music stopped and upbeat music returned.
Julianna quickly pulled out of his grip and took off out of the Great Hall.
'Hey, where's Julianna going?' Sirius asked, as his eyes watched her running form go out the doors.
'I don't know.' James replied, coming back from the dance floor with Lily's hand in his.
'I'll go find out.' Remus replied, and took off after her.
