Chapter 6 – The Halloween Ball

"Twinkletoes," Hermione said as she entered through her portrait hole. She found Pansy sitting on her bed looking really happy about something.

"Hey, what's up?" Hermione asked.

"I can't believe it, he actually asked me!" said Pansy in a dazed voice.

"Wait, who asked you?" asked Hermione nonchalantly.

"Draco Malfoy of course. He asked me to the Halloween Ball! Omigod, I'm going to need a sexier costume if I'm going with Draco. I know, I'll go as a devil and wear red spandex!" Pans squealed.

"That's great Pansy, you do just that," said Hermione as she walked back out the portrait hole.

She stepped out and was soon knocked to the ground by a towering figure. Hermione landed hard on her ankle, and a loud crack could be heard.

"Watch where you're going you filthy mudblood!" sneered a familiar voice.

"I'm fine thank you and thank you for asking," said Hermione in an annoyed voice. She tried to get up but there was a sharp pain in her left ankle. Since Malfoy was obviously not going to help her up, she tried getting up on her own.

"You'd think that there would actually be a gentleman when u need one," she muttered to herself.

Draco smirked, "Come off it Granger, I'm sure you loved running into me. Where were you off to in such a hurry?"

"None of your business Malfoy," said Hermione rudely.

"Tsk, tsk, touchy touchy. I wonder what's eating you. I guess I just brighten up your day don't I?" Malfoy drawled.

Hermione was just about to reply when she saw Ron coming down the hall.

"You trying to steal my date you piece of Slytherin filth?"

"That was completely uncalled for. Wait a minute, did you say your date?" said Malfoy with a confused expression on his face.

"Yeah, that's right, MY date," replied Ron nastily.

"OK, calm down. I already have a date anyways. I don't need yours," snapped Malfoy.

"All right then beat it!" yelled Ron.

"I'm leaving now guys," said Hermione even though she knew she couldn't be heard over the two fighting.

It was finally the day of the ball. Everyone was so excited during their lessons that all the teachers just gave up and sat down. After the lessons, many couples around Hogwarts were found discussing meeting times and places before the ball.

"So Hermione, since our rooms are side by side, I'll pick you up half an hour before the ball from your room. You better be ready by 6:30," said Ron to Hermione as they walked back to the room.

Hermione got back to her room at 4:00 so she took a long shower. When she got out, she saw Pansy in front of the mirror doing her make-up. She was already in her red spandex costume with devil tail and ears. Pansy looked up and saw Hermione.

"Oh, do you want me to do your hair, so that it will look nicer than it usually does," said Pansy carelessly.

Hermione frowned, "No, that's quite all right. I think I'll do it myself."

Pansy shrugged, "Suit yourself. Don't come crying to me when Ron looks at you weird."

Hermione turned red but ignored her. She dried her hair and straightened it completely; she slipped into her angel costume which was white, but looked silver under the moonlight. She said a spell which got her wings and a halo. Her make-up came next. She applied some light make-up so as enough to bring out her beauty that no one apparently saw.

After she was completely ready, she saw that it was already 6:25. Pansy and Hermione exited through their portrait hole where they found Ron and Malfoy already standing there. Malfoy was dressed as a vampire, and he took one look at Hermione and his mouth dropped straight open. Ron's mouth was also open but he was staring at Pansy and not Hermione.

"Here is a perfect example that beauty only goes skin deep," sneered Malfoy.

Hermione was shocked at the comment only because it could be taken two ways; he did mention that she was beautiful, but then he also mentioned that she was not appealing on the inside. She decided to take it the negative way, and just glared at him.

Ron was still in a trance apparently amazed by Pansy's costume. Hermione cleared her throat, and that seemed to snap him out of it.

"Huh? Oh right," Ron recovered, "Shall we?" He extended his arm, and Hermione took at as they walked into the Great Hall.

The first people they saw were Harry and Ginny who had apparently decided to go as characters from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Hermione thought that it must have been Harry's idea because she doubted that Ginny had ever seen an episode.

Ginny was dressed as Willow while Harry was dressed as Xander. They looked like they were having fun because they were both laughing.

"Hey Hermione, hey Ron!" said Ginny breathlessly, "great costumes!"

"Yeah, they're awesome!" said Harry but his eyes were on Pansy as she entered the Great Hall.

Hermione and Ron went to go find a table. They finally found one and Ron went to go get butterbeers.

Dumbledore stood up and the entire hall quieted down. "Welcome to the Hogwart's Halloween Ball. We're going to start the music soon. The first dance of the night will be one where u must dance with anyone except your date. Good luck on finding someone!"

The Great Hall was filled with commotion as all the guys went to go find different dance partners. Through the crowd, she saw Ron go over to ask Pansy, and Harry go and ask Cho. A smile showed up on Hermione's lips.

"Hello Hermione," said a voice from behind her.

Hermione turned and was face to face with…
