Disclaimer: Not mi-ine

XOXO

(A/N: For those of you don't read my notes Draco's POV)

Draco stared at the wall until he heard a soft knock on his door. Isabella's head poked through she was smiling.

"You wanted to talk to me?" She looked interested. Draco nodded slowly.

"Why were you crying? You hate my father. And the note… who was that from?" Draco's voice was stern, almost like a father lecturing a disobedient child.

"I do hate him, but I was crying because I know how close you two were. You're like mini him. I know what its like to lose a father, I was lucky though because I have my mother. Your mum she didn't even tell you. The situation is just so sad!" Isabella stuck her tongue out before continuing, "the note was from a teacher at one of my schools, the one with the weird name to be more specific. He was creepy, he was the reason I was transferred out so soon."

"Oh." Draco sighed. I should have known that was why she was crying, why is she in Slytherin… Draco wondered thinking that she was more like a Hufflepuff. "You're a very strange girl. You seem more cheerful today though."

"Dumbledore contacted the creep and today is the dance!" She twirled. Draco frowned. She's too weird. Isabella left and Draco went down into the common room to find Blaise, Crabbe, and Goyle. When he went down his nightmare was realized.

"Hi Draco, the dance is tonight. Y-o-u and I just have to go together," Pansy batted her eyelashes. Draco cringed inwardly.

"Sorry I'm going with someone else," Draco stated coolly looking her straight in the eye.

"Well then at least three dances," She was desperate.

"Now why would I save even one dance for you? The answer is no I won't save a single dance for you, good-bye." Draco left her feeling shocked. Once out of the common room he laughed, that felt good. He sprinted to the great hall and sat down next to Blaise, who was across from Bella.

"Oh for goodness sake," She looked a little annoyed.

"She's been trying to explain the Transfiguration homework to them since we got up here," Blaise pointed with his thumb to Crabbe and Goyle (Bella is between them). Bella beat her head against the table. "Not going so well."

"It's not that hard, can they actually read?" She looked exhausted.

"I don't know, probably not." Draco helped himself to some food.

XOXO

Draco could hear Blaise and Bella shouting at Crabbe and Goyle about homework. So loud, I can't concentrate. Draco wandered out to tell them to keep it down, but when he saw what homework they were stuck on he understood why they were yelling. Deciding it better to go outside he left the common room and walked to the edge of the lake. I should probably get ready…or I could just stand out here… Draco heard someone come up from behind him.

"Ginny…" He wasn't too surprised to see her but at the same time he was.

"Oh sorry, bye!" She ran off before Draco could say anything more.

XOXO

"Hold still, one second." Isabella was helping Draco and friends into their costumes, "Okay you look great! Now on to the oafs…" She rolled her eyes. Draco smiled and went to look at himself in the mirror that had been set up. Bella's right I do look great, she's going to be very impressed. Draco was wearing a black tuxedo with a long black cape, a green mask covered the area around his eyes. He hadn't wanted something too over the top, so this was perfect. Crabbe and Goyle he knew were going as trolls, this suited them perfectly. Blaise had gone for no costume and just an entirely black suit. Even Draco had to admit that Isabella looked stunning; her dress was floor length with an empire waist. In color it was off-white, with red and yellow flowers at the bottom and the top, over that was a see through layer of silk like material, a bow tied it together at the side. She had cut her long black hair the day before so that it was just below her shoulders. Today it was slightly curled and half was up in a bun leaving corkscrews to frame her face. (A/N: Go to bottom to see a picture of the dress, there's a website to see it). I wonder what she'll look like. Draco grabbed the final golden rose hopping that the night would go well.

XOXO

(A/N: Ginny's POV we're going back a little in time)

"Ok we should get going in now Herm, we only have 4 hours to get ready," Ginny stated. Harry and Ron looked shocked, to think it would take four hours for the two of them to get ready. Ginny and Hermione walked up to the castle in silence thinking about their dates. Finally, I get to meet him! I can't wait…I wonder who he is. Ginny smiled, she was extremely excited about getting to really see and talk to him. However something at the back of her mind reminded her that she would most likely have to turn him down, it wouldn't be fair to him if she allowed him to believe she liked him.

"Why don't we get ready in my room?" Hermione questioned noticing that Lavender and Parvati had chosen to get ready with some of the girls in Ginny's room. Ginny nodded, her costume was being kept in Hermione's trunk anyway.

XOXO

"Wow! Ginny your hair looks amazing," Hermione had styled into perfect curls adding crystal clips as decorations, they were tiny and looked like they were part of her hair.

"Thanks, yours does too. Wait until Fred sees you," Ginny smiled when Hermione blushed. Hermione's hair had been straightened to perfection. "Guess we better put our costumes on…" Hermione wasted no time in getting out Ginny's. Ginny's costume was a black dress, the bottom was uneven in a stylish way, the top of the dress was fitted and very flattering. Black beads sparkled on her chest in a detailed design. Paired with it were the beautiful wings Isabella had found at the costume shop. Ginny looked at herself in the mirror, she was shocked.

"What do you think?" Hermione smiled from behind her.

"Wow." Ginny was speechless. Hermione and Isabella had worked very hard to get this outfit together, but it was definitely worthwhile. Ginny turned to Hermione, "ready?" Hermione nodded and Ginny helped Hermione into her costume. Hermione stepped in front of the mirror and smiled shyly. Her costume consisted of a skirt and shirt, the skirt went down to just bellow her knees consisting of autumn colors, it was many layers all shaped like tulip petals. There were two shirts a white long-sleeved one and a corset-style top to go over it. The sleeves puffed slightly at the top the rest hung free on her arms. The colors matched her hair perfectly. The girls did their make-up and once satisfied left to meet Bella. They found her just outside the Great Hall talking to Ron and Lavender. Lavender was wearing a pink ballerina costume with matching slippers…Ron on the other hand was dressed as an elf (not the Christmas kind) with tights. The costume had been sent over by his mother and looked very funny. Ginny and Hermione laughed. They both look so funny…wow Bella looks good.

"Shut up," Ron muttered entering with Lavender.

"Well, look at you two! You guys look great!" Bella squealed.

"You look gorgeous," Hermione complimented Isabella on her outfit.

"Thanks so let's go in and meet our dates," Ginny linked arms with the other two and they walked in to what was going to be a crazy night.

XOXO

A/N: Dance next chapter! Ok did I mention there are three parts to this story, no? Well I meant to…anyway there's going to be a prequel (with Hermione and Fred, I'm looking forward to writing it!). Also there will be an epilogue, it will be around three chapters telling you what happens to everyone after they leave Hogwarts. Ok here's the site check out the dress, ya it's Chii from Chobits (vol. 5 cover, I love the dress). The picture is not mine and neither is the dress.
