My apologies

I am sorry it took so long to update…..many things prevented me from doing so.

I was grounded for a week.

Then my father abandoned my family once again……YAY THE BASTARD'S FINALLY GONE FOR GOOD!

Sorry I have such a deeply rooted loathing for my father I fear that even if he threw himself at my feet and begged me for forgiveness…….I would not be able to...he has done unnecessarily cruel and unkind things to me, my mother, and my siblings...not muchphysical damage...but emotional and psychological damage...my mother has had 3 seizures in the last 2 years...and my little siblings think they are supposed to be treated this way...needless to say it has taken all of both me and my mothers efforts to heal their minds...so I have reason to dispise him.

Then I got grounded for another two days…….for the life of me I can't remember why.

And now I am finally free of all obligations so I may now finish and post this. It is not very long for I had to write it quickly, I promise the next one will be longer.

Thank You.

Adrienne

Also I edited Chapter 3thanks toSilent-Serpent's suggestion...so go take a look.

Chapter 4: In which the students get a makeover and the Great Hall is redecorated

Hermione gasped in shocked horror. "Bloody Hell, no" exclaimed Harry and Ron together, as they gazed at the scene of pandemonium before them.

The Great Hall was by far in it's most advanced state of disarray in its entire history, not even the four founders could have foreseen this.

Half of the student body were making out across the floor, tables, and random chairs.

All rivalry had apparently been forgotten as most of the remainder of the girls barricaded themselves behind what had been the Ravenclaw table. The rest, who weren't making out, were fighting brutally with the boys, who were scrambling for cover. The ones behind the table defended those of their gender by throwing anything that was near them at those of the opposite sex. A group of food smeared first years huddled the far corner behind the teachers table.

The unfortunate who happened to be kissing during the battle of the sexes, were covered with various assortments of food, drink, and what looked suspiciously like blood.

Pansy Parkinson was in her element, in a vicious lip lock with a Ravenclaw two years younger than her, the poor boy however was not enjoying it. He looked like a deflated blue fish, which desperately needed air.

As they watched several of the couples broke apart and began to brutally attack each other. Parvati was repeatedly beating Zacharias Smith's head into the ground.

Ron grinned appreciatively.

A quick look towards the head table, where McGonagall was screaming for order, her voice long since gone hoarse, told Hermione what there was to do. Barging into the mayhem, stupefying and petrifying right and left, she attempted to stop the chaos.

Harry and Ron ran out of the door, as Parvati ceased punching Zacharias and let out a feral scream and leapt towards them, slammingthe great doorsbehind them.

Back in the Hall, Hermione whirled around stopping food in the air, stunning students, yelling for order, and deducting house points all at once.

Turning around suddenly she tripped over a figure lying prone on the floor. Pulling herself up she looked in shocked horror as Draco Malfoy lurched to his feet looking around wildly, completely covered from head to toe in what looked suspiciously like his own vomit. He saw her, screamed like little girl and ran towards the overturned Gryffindor table, behind which a ragged group of boys defended their comrades out on the battle field, dragging Hermione along.

Diving behind the table, he gasped for breath, then noticing the looks of terror he was receiving from the rest of the males, turned hesitantly to look behind him.

Hermione watched in amusement, bordering on pity as Malfoy looked at her with what could only be described as ultimate fear. When he screamed she was tempted to cover her ears in pain, suddenly she felt herself nearly jerked off her feet, stumbling to stay upright she was forced to run behind Malfoy in the direction of the Gryffindor table. She was jerked roughly down by an invisible force.

It was to sudden to feel anything but shock as she saw a little piece of green foliage float down until it was hovering in front of her face. She vaguely registered the looks of terror from the other boys as Malfoy slowly turned his head around to face her, a nervous disbelieving look on his face.

Then as if on cue the mistletoe between them gave a little whistle, as if to say I leave you to it, and began to fly in happy little circles around their heads.

As if breaking out of a spell (well……that makes no sense) Malfoy began to scream "No not me, this is to much, it's unfair, I won't do it!" then began to sob into his hands "Why me God? Why me? What did I do to deserve this?"

Hermione had the odd urge to join him, this is so fucked up, why does stuff like this happen to me. Now I have to kiss Malfoy. OH NO I HAVE TO KISS FERRET! What the hell am I going to do? This thing won't let me go anywhere without him. I am most certainly not going to kiss him, which is completely out of the question. This means He'll have to go everywhere with me. OH MY HOLY FUCKING SHIT HOW AM I GOING TO SHOWER?

Hermione began to bite her nails nervously her brain running rapidly to find a solution, completely ignoring the sobbing man in front of her.

A particularly loud scream, apparently coming from Seamus, brought her out of her reverie. The noise had reached a crescendo, screams of pain that could probablybe heard in the dungeon. She was surprised the Order hadn't burst through the doors having heard them all the way at Grimmauld place and thought every on in the school had been put under the crutacious curse.

The noise stopped abruptly as Dumbledore entered the Great Hall accompanied by Professor Snape and Samantha in tow.

Never in the history of Hogwarts, Hermione knew she'd read the book countless times, had the Great Hall been so silent. Neville even ceased whimpering beneath Millicent Bulstrode to stare. Because never in anyone's memory had Dumbledore looked so shocked.

McGonagall, taking advantage of the silence, ran to the headmaster and rasped "Albus, thank Merlin, I've been trying to get them to stop for half an hour."

"What's going on Minerva?" He asked, apparently still to deep in shock to put two and two together.

"Those damn mistletoe" she replied ignoring the gasps from the students at her swearing. "I don't know how it happened. It was all quiet and then everyone just started attacking each other. Why Albus, why did you have to let those things out?"

Dumbledore looked around grimly, students hanging their heads in shame as his eyes passed over them. Making them feel shame in a way only Dumbledore could. Harry and Ron's heads poked back into the Great Hall to watch. Dumbledore walked to his chair and stood in front of everyone. "I can't say that I anticipated this move. I am disappointed however in your lack of control in this situation." The twinkle returned to his eyes. "There is one thing however I am grateful for, it seems that you put aside house hostilities for at least one night, for that I am proud." The students looked around nervously, not knowing whether to smile, blush, or grimace. Now if you please I would like everyone who participated in this to also participate in cleaning it……..without magic" The near hopeful faces of the students fell as Dumbledore haired his wand and muttered "Accio wands"

Every wand, with the exception of the teachers flew onto the teachers table. As he left the Great Hall, Snape, Samantha, and McGonagall close at his heals he turned around. "You may retrieve your wands after you are finished, then I want all of you in bed for the night. Enjoy."

And with out another word strode from the Great Hall leaving the room, and students in stunned silence

Thanks

Duj: thanks, Snape is my favorite too. I love him, he's so awesome……and mean, and cruel. And thanks for pointing out the mudblood thing, I haven't read them in almost a year….my parents don't like Harry Potter….well loathe is more like it…..and they would slaughter me if they knew I was affiliated with anything of the sort…………well really my mom would kill me and my dad would hold against me as dirt.

Silent-Serpent: because it wouldn't be as interesting……well maybe it would…..I'm gonna add that part in. Thanks

Angelina's nightmare: you have no idea….MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Hehe

Green Flames: Thanks….didn't know that soooo….thanks.

Parcheezie: in the beginning Dumbledore said that all family was welcome. Fred and George are two of my favorite's….I definitely wouldn't leave them out of my story

Boogie: me and my little sister thought this up one night…..I like mistletoe because it forces you to kiss someone….hehe

I'm not sure if I spelled the spells correctly, I know a lot of them but without the books I can't spell them correctly…………so any help would be greatly appreciated.

And thanks again to all the other people who reviewed the previous chapters. Again I am sorry it took so long to review….it was unavoidable.
