Disclaimer: Still don't own anything from the books….

Hey thanks for all the fantastic reviews…hope you like this chapter…

(Also Logan and Brian only sang the first song, then Georgie sang the Kelly Clarkson song…and hopefully I'll have a bit more Hermione/Blaise stuff in the next couple of chapters….)

An hour and a half later, the Halloween feast had been eaten and the best Fascino Quas acts the school had to offer had performed. Hermione and Blaise were quietly talking to the other teachers as Harry and Jess danced together, while many of the students were either dancing or chatting aswell. From the corner of his eye, Blaise watched his daughter carefully, well more to the point he watched Riley carefully when he was close to Alex.

He couldn't help it, sure Alex wasn't his innocent little girl, but she was still his innocent daughter, and Blaise would do anything to ensure that.

"Blaise, stop staring," Hermione whispered into his ear, her feather boa tickling his cheek.

"What, I wasn't staring." Blaise said, turning back to the table, to find that it was simply him and Hermione still sitting there.

"Yes you were," Hermione smiled squeezing the red foam clown nose Blaise was wearing, "She's smart, she won't do anything stupid."

"It's not her I'm worried about," Blaise said and he went back to watching Riley as Hermione sighed.

"Logan, just ask her to dance," Alex hissed into his ear as they watched Nicole, Georgie and Sam dance.

Riley and Draco were off getting them drinks and both Kimmie and Brian had disappeared, leaving Charlie, Logan and Alex at the table.

He shook his head.

"Alex is right mate, we all know your crazy about her," Charlie said with an evil grin.

"You told everyone that I like her?" Logan said turning to Alex.

"No, she didn't, you just did then," Charlie interrupted before Alex could reply, "But it was kind of obvious though, you haven't looked at anyone else all night."

"That's not true," Logan began.

"Yeah right, even when you were on stage you couldn't take your eyes off her," Alex smirked, "Just ask her to dance,"

"What if she says no," Logan began as Charlie pushed him out of his seat.

"She wont," He answered.

"Yeah, she likes you too," Alex added.

"I don't know," Logan began.

"Just go," Both Alex and Charlie said together.

"Alright," Logan said and with a deep breath he slowly walked toward the three girls that were dancing.

"He's finally going to ask her then?" Brian asked as he returned to the table with Kimmie.

Alex looked at the two of them, still in their stage costumes, neither were looking at each other and Alex couldn't help but notice Kimmie's face was unusually pink. I guess they've just been fighting again, she thought.

"Yup, it took us awhile to get him out there," Charlie replied and Alex turned back to watch Logan as he finally reached the dance floor.

Suddenly the music changed from dome dance song to Switchfoots 'I dare you to move', Logan turned and looked back at the table as the three girls began to stop dancing and move toward him, toward their table. Alex gave him a reassuring smile, while Charlie gave him a thumbs up.

Slowly he turned around, just as Georgie and Sam moved past him, and came face to face with the redhead.

"Nicole," He managed to say.

"Logan," She grinned at him.

"I…um…well…. would you like to dance…with me," He spluttered out, she simply nodded and took his hand.

Back at the table, Alex let out a gasp of relief as she watched her two friends dance. Slowly she turned back to the table, to find that Riley and Draco had finally returned.

Everybody else was deep in conversation, except for Riley who was watching her intently.

"What?" she asked, smiling softly at him, while unconsciously touching her face.

"Nothing," Riley replied, pulling her hand away from her cheek, sending shivers down her spine as his thumb brushed against her skin. "I was just wondering if you would like to dance?"

Blaise watched as Alex and Riley danced, until his attention was drawn back to Hermione. Dressed in a Moulin Rouge like costume, she danced with Harry who seemed to be dressed as an umpire.

She looked happy and Blaise watched her smile. It was a smile he had not seen for many years. It was a smile he knew he had helped to put there. It was a smile he wanted to keep there.

Finally the students began to drift out of the ballroom as the night drew to a close.

The next day Alex and the other Hogwarts students packed their belongs they had bought over and said their good byes to their new friends.

Assembling in the ballroom, which had now been cleared of the Halloween decorations and tables from the night before. The Gryffindor students soon formed the same groups, which they travelled in to the school, as Blaise and Hermione handed out the portkey's.

Soon they were back in the great hall at Hogwarts.

A/N: yes I know that was short…but it was kind of the ending to the last chapter…and yes I know the ending tot his chapter was kind of crap but please review and tell me what you think anyway…
