Thanks sooooooo much for the marvy reviews! I really appreciate them. I 've sorta made a "second edition" on the chapter, so you should re read it. It has more description then the original, you can thank a fellow reviewer for that. I had planned to do more description but it had been a horrid month. I hope you like this chapter. As Harry would say. "Errr, I don't own anything, I think."

Remember, some of this you have not read.

On with the Fic! Chapter Fifteen: The Ball

The Weasleys, plus their guests walked out of the front door of the Burrow, to be met by two black limos, that were undoubtedly Ministry cars. They were long and black, but still different then Muggle ones. These limos, had snack bars in side that refilled with and snack you wanted. The inside would change décor with the flick of your wand.

"Whoa!" Ron said, his jaw was hanging open and his eyes were bugging out.

"Now, now, Ickle Ronniekins, it's not polite to stare, AND drool," Fred said sniggering.

"Wow Dad, you really out did yourself," George complimented.

"Why thank you Fred," Mr. Weasley replied.

"I'm Fred," the real Fred whispered under his breath.

"Shall we?" Mrs. Weasley said.

"Of course," Mr. Weasley said.

"Yes my dear brother, shall we get going to this jig?" Fred said in mocking tone, distancing himself from Hermione so no one would get suspicious.

"O'course, brother dear. Let's get the party started" George said taking his twin's arm and getting into one of the limos.

Everyone except their parents started laughing.

"Alright let's go," Mrs. Weasley said annoyed.

Everyone, except the twins, cause they were already in the limo, got in. The car sped away from the Burrow threw the Weasley's drive way and on to the main road heading towards London. They talked, and played I Spy on the way there, and Ron almost ate the entire snack bar. It was dark by the time they got to the Ministry. Since it was the Ministry's Summer Ball, and there were going to be a lot of people there, the Ministry set up a portkey that would leave every five minutes. The two black limos pulled up to where the portkey was. The Weasleys, plus their guests got out of the cars, and walked up to the portkey.

"Alright everyone," Mr. Weasley started, "the portkey leaves in 45 seconds. Everybody grab hold." Everybody who was in their party a took firm grip to the glass slipper that was the portkey, in 45 seconds time they felt that familiar tug at their belly buttons. The next thing they knew they were standing outside two humongous doors that led to the ballroom. The doors were like nothing they'd ever seen. They were carved out of white marble, and had descriptions of great wizards and witches threw the times. The floor was the same marble, and in the middle of the area stood an object familiar to Harry.

"Hey!" Harry said, "That's the statue I dumped my money in, in fifth year."

"That's right Harry," Mr. Weasley said, "When I brought you here to the hearing."

"But I don't remember those doors being here," Harry said quizzically.

"Oh that's because they remove them during the work hours, and only put the back at and for special events," Mr. Weasley said knowingly. They walked away from the fountain to a cloak check.

"May I take your cloaks?" a recognizable voice said, while popping his head over the counter her was currently under.

"Oh hi Stan," Harry said to the Nightbus attendant.

"E'low there Arry, how ya been?" Stan said smiling.

"Not bad, you?" Harry replied.

"Not bad meself either," Stan said, "I see you, and Ron, but where's Ermione?

"I'm right here Stan," Hermione said, stepping out from behind Lavender.

"Bloody bats! You sure did grow up nicely," Stan said blushing.

"Stan would you please take our cloaks?" Mr. Weasley said politely.

"O'course," Stan replied taking the coats from Mr. Weasley's hands.

"Well, we better be going Stan," George said.

"Alright then, see you later," Stan said waving. After Mr. Weasley gave Stan the coats him and his wife had left the eight teens and entered the ballroom. It was now the teens turn.

"Shall we?" Fred asked Hermione, offering his arm.

"Of course good sir," She replied giggling. Harry and the rest of the boy followed suit by offering their arms to their "dates".

The eight teens approach the giant marble doors leading to the ballroom, when out of nowhere two enormous Centaurs appeared. One body of the centaurs was silver-white, while the other was pitch black. The contrast was unbelievable.

"Whoa," Ron said out of shock at how big they were.

"Welcome children, we hope you enjoy your time at the ball. Venus is bright tonight, have fun," the silver centaur said while winking knowingly at Hermione. The large centaurs heaved open the large doors to a mystical site.

"Wow!" everyone chorused. Saying the ballroom was very spacious was an understatement. It was amazingly huge. The room was enchanted into looking like a secret garden hideaway, with gates covered over by ivy, and stepping stones going across a enchanted stream, and even a waterfall was present in the magical display. There were little tables spread out everywhere with single roses in the center. The flowers throughout the garden were not like normal flowers. They were huge and smelled wonderful, they were in every color imaginable, even Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite color lilac, some of the flowers changed colors right before your eyes. Little faeries clad in tiny silk dresses danced around on the petals of the mystical flowers to the music that was playing. The teenagers were in shock at how beautiful it was. Until they heard that familiar voice.

"Ahh it's the Weaselbee and his family, how disheartening, they let riffraff like you come to this function. And look they've brought guests. Hello… Mudblood," Malfoy was a bit shocked by her changes but quickly recovered, "how was your summer? Hope you didn't roll in to much mud, and Lavender, bet you're still daft as the plant they named you after, and Parvati, did you finally find someone who wouldn't just use you and leave?" Malfoy drawled out. The Weasleys, plus Harry were about ready to pounce.

"Why Malfoy so awful to see you, I see you still haven't changed from the ferret boy you were in fourth year," Hermione replied bored. Malfoy immediately turned red. At that point three people joined Malfoy's side. Blaise Zabini, and two girls the teens didn't know.

"Hey Draco, sorry I'm late, Liz took a unbearably long time in the bathroom getting ready," Blaise just took the time to notice the eight teens standing in front of him, "Ahh, Pothead, Weasel, and… where's Mudblood?"

"I'm right here dumb-ass," Hermione replied.

"Bloody Hell!" Blaise said stunned at Hermione's change. Malfoy wanted to change the subject back to them so he started talking again.

"Meet our girlfriends. Elizabeth Zabini, and Telia Fawn. Much better then you could every get," Malfoy said, and he was right they were absolutely stunning. Elizabeth had mocha colored skin, and chocolate brown eyes with barley noticeable silver flecks, her hair was cascading down her back in soft curls, she was wear a silver dress that went about mid-thigh and poofed out a bit. While the other girl was in a midnight blue starless, floor-length dress.

"Malfoy, I knew you'd end up with a Zabini, I just thought it'd be Blaise," George said sniggering. Everyone except the sour Slytherins laughed.

"Oooohh, Weasley," the girl named Elizabeth said, "Don't go near any Muggle fires, they might try to put you out with that hair of yours."

"Well they'd at least have one less mouth to feed," Malfoy said wrapping an arm around Elizabeth.

"Oh sod off Malfoy, and while you're at it go and get a rabies shot," and with that Hermione walked away towards one of the garden tables, with the rest of the Weasleys close behind.

"Um, Mione, what's a 'rabies shot'?" Fred asked confused.

"Oh it's to cure this disease that animals get, they start foaming at the mouth and stuff," Hermione said nonchalantly.

"Oh, alright then," Ginny said.

"Hey Gin, you wanna dance," Harry asked.

"Sure Harry," Gin replied, Hermione secretly gave her a wink.

Pretty soon everyone was dancing except the two that should have been, but that didn't last long.

"Hey Mione"" Fred started, "You wanna dance?"

"Yes," Hermione said, she was secretly really, really excited, but she didn't want to admit it to herself, not yet.

Fred took Hermione's hand and led her out to the middle of the dance floor, he put his hands on her slim waist as hers encircled his neck. They swayed a song by the name of "Drops of Jupiter" and all they noticed was being in each others arms. Everyone had the time of their life, dancing and goofing off with each other, but soon it was time to go. It was already 1 O'clock in the morning and Mrs. Weasley didn't want her children out late.

"Okay everyone time to go home," Mr. Weasley said, directing the teens to the limos.

"But dad!" Ginny whined.

"No buts Ginny!" Mrs. Weasley said. Ginny grumbled something under her breath that no one could understand. As Mrs. Weasley and her daughter had their fight, Fred, knowing no one was watching picked one of the color changing flowers. The teens got into the cars and headed for the Burrow. When they reached home they were all pretty tired. They trudged up the stairs to they bedrooms and yelled their goodnights and went to sleep as fast as you can say "pillow" Unknown to anyone Hermione was still awake, but just barely. She was replaying the evening in her head, and automatically thought of the dancing with Fred. Unknown to Hermione the boy that stole her thoughts was standing right outside her door. Hermione heard a soft knock, but when she went to see who it was they was no one there, but there was something shimmering one the ground.
