Disclaimer: NOT MINE! Don't you get it yet?

The Christmas Ball was announced a week before the start of Winter Holiday, and when the sign-up sheets went around, almost every student (fifth year and up) signed up to stay. IT was to be held on Christmas Eve.

The girls had been planning their outfits since the day of the announcement, and Lily, glad to put her seamstress room to use, invited them all over to be fitted for their dresses.

Hermione's was royal purple, with lavender inlays. She was planning on wearing an Amethyst and diamond necklace that had supposedly belonged to her great grandmother's aunt or something. Ginny's dress was blue, and featured a low neckline, and a knee length silt in the leg. Adah's was red, and she was planning on wearing all gold jewelry. (Gryffindor colors. "I was supposed to be in Gryffindor, after all" She said) Cheyenne's dress was black, but in the light looked a shimmery green.

Cheyenne, Hermione and Ginny had a plot. Supposedly, the ball was open to graduates of Hogwarts. They had decided to throw a party after the ball in the Gryffindor common room, and let in Sirius, Lily, James and Remus to relive their hogwarts days (mainly for the benefit of Remus, James and Sirius, who were obviously wanting to relive the marauder days) Ron and Ginny got word that the Twins were attending as well, and they were invited as well. Cheyenne and Harry thought they should be introduced properly to the marauders, seeing as they idolized the group.

A few days before the ball, the girls had gathered in the Room of Requirement.

"So Ginny," Chyenne asked slyly, "Who do you want to go with?"Ginny muttered something under her breath, and Chyenne smiled. "What was that? Didn't quite hear it."

"Your brother." She said shyly, blushing.

"I knew it! What about you Hermione?"

"I'm already going with someone." She said, eyeing Ginny nervously.

"Who?" Adah asked.

"Um, Ron." She admitted, waiting for Ginny's reaction.

"FINALLY! We've been waiting for you two to get together since last year!" Ginny said smiling. "What about you Chy?"

"Who do you think?"

"Well, I don't know. Only about... Um... Every freaking boy in Hogwarts wants to go with you. Well, you the Patil twins, and Lavender Brown."

"I don't know. OK, better question. How many Slytherin boys do you know that are in love with me?"

"Two." Adah said seriously.

"Two? What are you smoking, and where can I get some? Who?"

"Well, obviously Draco, and my brother."

"Are you kidding me?"

"No. He really is. He hasn't gotten over you yet. Ever since you guys broke up."

"Oh shit. Well, anyway, Who do you want to go with?"

"Justin Flinch-Fletchley. Isn't he just gorgeous?" Adah rolled her eyes in delight.

"Isn't he gay?" Cheyenne asked mimicking her.

"He's not. He's bi."

"Well that's so much better. For your first date, you can make yourself invisible and go watch the guy quidditch players shower."

"That actually sounds like fun. I should go suggest it to him." Adah got up and went to go find him.

"Okaaaay." Said Hermione. "Lets go back up to the common room. It's getting late."

They agreed and walked back to the Gryffindor tower.

Two nights before the ball Chyenne and Ginny were sitting together in the common room talking about random things, when Chyenne noticed that Ginny kept spacing out and Staring across the room. She followed her gaze, and smiled to herself. "I'll be right back Gin." She said, getting up and walking over to her brother. Ginny just kept on staring.

"Hey Harry." Cheyenne said coming up to him, and slipping her wand back into her pocket "Question. You like Ginny don't you?"

"Um..." Harry shot a nervous glance at Ron, who was standing with him.

"Don't mind me, but what does Harry liking Salami have to do with anything?" Ron asked confused.

Catching on to what was going on, Harry smiled. "Um. Yeah. I guess."

"You guess?"

"OK fine. I'm freaking obsessed with her. I imagine her in a wedding dress and have named all of our future children."

"Okay then." Chyenne walked back to Ginny.

While she was gone, Ron looked at Harry. "You want children with Salami?"

Harry laughed hysterically until he realized that Ginny was standing next to him. "Oh. Hi Ginny."

"Hi Harry."

There was an awkward silence until Harry looked over and saw Chyenne holding what looked like a cue card with the words "Do you want to go to the ball with me?" written on them. "Um... Ginny. Do you, um., want to go... To the ball with me." Ginny's eyes went wide and she just stared at him. Harry looked back at Chyenne who motioned to have him turn her around. He did and She held up another cue card with "Yes" written on it.

Ginny smiled. "Well, you saw what the girl read." She kissed him lightly and went up to her dorm happily.

"Are you cheating on salami with my sister?" Ron asked.

The night of the ball was cold but clear, and paths had been scraped clean of snow, with melting charms put on as an after thought. It was a good idea, because a light snow had started to fall.

Chyenne was meeting Draco in the Entrance Hall with Adah, who was meeting Justin. Justin got there first, so she was left alone, awkwardly, until the Patil twins arrived and were waiting there as well.

Parvati turned to her "Who are you waiting for?"

"Oh! Um, Draco Malfoy." Chyenne said.

"Lucky. As annoying as he is, he's gorgeous."

"Yeah. Who are you guys waiting for?"

"The Weasley twins. Graduates are allowed to come if they have dates... So we invited them."

Just then, the door opened, and two tall red haired boys entered.

One of them said to the other "It's really weird being back here. Isn't it?"

"Yeah." Said the other "Oh hey look! It's out dates!"

They walked over to the girls and greeted them. Then one of them turned to Chyenne. "Not to be rude, but Who are you?"

"Sorry. Chyenne Potter."

"Oh, Harry's sister? Ron told us about you. Or rather, he told mum, who told us. Fred Weasley. And That's my brother George."

"Nice to meet you." And with promises to see each other later, they left.

A few minutes later, Draco came in, looking for her in the wrong direction. He came up behind him, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Hey there."

"Chy!" He turned around and kissed her. "Sorry. I was looking for something. I, um, got something for you." He handed her a small rectangular package wrapped in brown paper. "I meant to wrap it in something nicer, but I only got it in the post this morning."

She opened the paper to reveal a black velvet covered box. Opening it, she found a gorgeous crystal pendant on a silver chain. "Dray! It's beautiful." He helped her put it on, and when he was done she kissed him. "I love crystals."

"That's not a crystal." He said.

Her eyes widened. "Holy crap. I can't take this! You shouldn't spend so much money on me!"

"Family heirloom. Belonged to my grandmother. My grandfather read too much into the whole "diamonds are a girls best friend" thing. She was always more of an emerald person. She told me to give it to the woman I loved."

"Thank you. Now, lets go."
