Disclaimer: we own nothing but the plot

A/N: WE ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY!!!! We know it's been a looooong time since we updated but we had no time b/c of marching band. The chapters are going to come a lot more quickly now.

The long awaited day finally arrived. Halloween. The Halloween ball was that night. The usually strict professors let the students venture into Hogsmeade to buy whatever last minute forgotten things they needed for the celebration. Around four 'o clock there was a Quidditch game on T.V. Harry, Ron, Orion, and Chad were leaning back on the couch watching the game and talking.

"Why do girls take so long to get ready?" Chad thought out loud.

"Cuz they gotta do the thing with the hair and the make up and the thing with the mousse and the hair straightner thing ma jigger." Orion tried to answer only succeeding in confusing himself.

"Okay…very specific."

"Oh!, and the thing with the lip liner!" Orion added.

"What's that?" Chad asked scratching his head.

"It's this little stick that matches the lipstick you're wearing and you put it on the outline of your lips." Orion explained nonchalantly.

"Oh…Okay…dude?"

"Yeah?"

"How do you know that?"

"I don't know! It's just in my head. AH! Get it out! Get It Out!" Orion started hitting his head like he had water in his ears and Chad shook his shoulders.

At that very same time, Kat and Elena came down the stairs.

"Oh god…" Elena said putting her hand on her head. Kat laughed.

"Thank god my boyfriend isn't that dumb," she said.

"Kat!" Chad exclaimed and ran over to her only ending up tripping on his own feet.

"Whoa, whoa, I'm cool, I'm good, no one saw that." Chad tried to play it off failing miserably.

"Are you sure about that?" Elena asked.

"I guess I spoke too soon." Kat replied and they laughed and headed back upstairs.

"Guys! You're gonna give Orion brain damage." Ron told them.

"Too Late!" Elena yelled from upstairs.

"Hey!" Orion yelled back.

Then it came time for the guys to get ready. They headed upstairs and showered and changed.

in the girls dormitory, they were still doing their hair.

"Gimme my straightner! You're gonna break it!" Kat yelled at Elena who was holding the straightner above Kat's head. Kat was jumping up and down trying to get it.

She finally gave in. "Fine! I won't straighten it tonight but gimme it back!"

"Thank you." Elena said simply and gave it back to her. Kat placed it in her trunk and they continued to get ready.

"Hey Ginny? Can you lace up this idiotic corset?" Hermione asked her. She already had the under dress.

"Yeah sure." Ginny put down the curling iron and walked up behind Hermione. She began to lace up the corset.

"OW! Ginny, I want to be able to breathe!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Oh quiet. There…..done! By the way Hermione what is going on with you and Malfoy? All of us saw you guys together in Hogsmeade. Why are you guys going together? I mean, we asked you to come with us and you said no then you showed up with Malfoy. Harry and Ron were really upset."

"I'm SO sorry. I forgot. But what happened was he asked me to go because neither one of us had a date and it would be a head boy/head girl thing anyway and we needed costumes. That's why I was there with him. I seriously didn't want to go but we needed costumes. I had completely forgotten that you guys had asked me." Hermione apologized sorrowfully.

"It's alright. I understand but you better say something to Harry and Ron. Those two lunkheads might not understand so well."

"Alright I'll apologize and explain."

They laughed and Hermione got her dress out of Ginny's closet. It time for them to all put their dresses on.

Hermione had a fourteenth century dress. It was floor length and the sleeves were long bell sleeves that had a crisscrossed gold ribbon around her upper arm on both sleeves. The neckline was a low V neck cut bodice with across the bottom portion of the v neck to prevent it from being too low. The bodice itself was tied with a silk gold ribbon. Then the bow of the ribbon started a line cut in the front and a gold hem. (A/N: okay the description of these dresses will probably suck but it was the best I could do.) She was Juliet. Her hair was half up in soft ringlets.

Ginny had on white silk strapless dress with glitter and rhinestones decorating the bust. It was floor length and the material with gathered a bit at the hips hugging her curves and an Indian type headpiece on with all of her hair gathered in it. (A/N: It's the dress from the end of Moulin Rouge.) She was Satine from Moulin Rouge.

Kat had on a dark red dress with half sleeves that only covered her shoulders. It was floor length and just below the glittery red bust, a sheer black material covered the dress which formed an A line cut and formed a small train. (A/N: It's the dress from titanic where she tries to kill herself.) She was Rose from Titanic. She had her hair down in soft spiral curls.

Elena had on a 17th century dress. She also had a hidden corset underneath. It was floor length and only one petticoat so it wouldn't be as poofy. It had ¾ trumpet sleeves and a square cut neckline. It was light gold with small darker gold flowers on it. (A/N: it's the dress from Pirates of the Caribbean when Elizabeth falls off the cliff.) She was Elizabeth from pirates of the Caribbean. Elena had all of her hair up in an elegant French bun.

"Okay girls I think we're ready." Kat announced to them.

Downstairs the guys were sitting on the couches waiting for their dates. Harry and Chad both had on tuxes except Harry wasn't wearing the cumber bun, bowties or cufflinks and both the dress shirts were unbuttoned a couple buttons. Harry was Christian from Moulin Rouge and Chad was Jack from titanic. Ron wore a legionnaire's costume which consisted of Khaki pants, brown boots, and a whit shirt slightly unbuttoned also. He was Rick O' Connell from The Mummy. Orion had on a pirate's costume. (A/N: it's the costume from pirates of the Caribbean when Will and Jack set out to save Elizabeth.) He had charmed his hair so it was slightly longer and tied it back with a piece of cloth. He also had a sword.

The girls came downstairs and they paired up with their dates except for Hermione and Ron since Ron was going with Sarah and Hermione was going with Draco and they were just going to meet in front of the great hall.

"Look! Those idiots actually gave me a sword!" Orion showed Elena.

"Oh god…" Elena said lowering her head and putting her hand to her forehead. "Who was the idiot that did that?" she asked.

"Dude at the costume shop." Orion answered happily.

"Give me that!" she snatched it from him and charged it so it was dull.

"Dude she unsharpened your sword!" Chad exclaimed.

"Do YOU trust him with a sword?" Elena asked raising her eyebrow.

"Good point." Chad replied.

"Hey!" Orion said defensively.

They left the common room and arrived at the great hall pretty quickly.

"Um…you guys go ahead and go in. I have to meet up with Draco here." She informed them.

"I'm going to go get Sarah but why do you have to wait for that ferret? Ron asked agitated.

"Because Ronald he's my date and they have to announce us. Calm down! It's not like I'm sleeping with him." She snapped at him.

He snorted and stormed off. Harry took Hermione over to the side and told her,

"Hey, what's wrong? He was just asking because you've been spending a lot of time with Malfoy lately and we never see you any more and all of a sudden you two are best friends."

"It's not like that. I and he are just being civil to each other because we're head boy and head girl. We do have to spend a lot of time together. I really didn't mean to snap."

"It's okay. It's just you gotta tell us this stuff or we're both gonna come to our horrible conclusions."

They laughed and the rest of them went in. Hermione waited and Draco came up behind her.

"Waiting for someone?" He whispered in her ear.

She turned around and smirked. "My date, if you stick around long enough, I might introduce you two."

Draco looked at her with a confused look. Wasn't he her date?

"Don't confuse yourself I'm only kidding. Now come on they're waiting for us."

Draco had on a dark blue outfit. He had on dark blue tights much to his complaints, a long blue velvet tunic thingy with a white shirt underneath. He also had a sword and had no gel in his hair. He was Romeo.

She linked her arm with his and they entered the great hall as Dumbledore announced,

"Please welcome your head boy and head girl Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger!!"

Applause filled the room they started a night that would change their lives.

A/N: We are sooooo sorry it's taken so long! There's been a lot of stuff going on with marching band for the both of us and it's NOT going to takes as long anymore since it's over okay? We really are sorry. Pleez R&R!
