Chapter 3: Party

Once the feast was over, the students began to head towards their common rooms. Violet went over to the Ravenclaw table to talk to Derek, Darrah and Charlotte and Amber went over to the Hufflepuff table to see Jenn and Lucas. James let Violet borrow the Mauraders Map so she and Amber could find the founders quarters and bring their Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff friends if they wanted to go to the party. Everyone else followed him and met up with Manny outside the Great Hall. With Manny were her two best guy friends, Matt and Stephen. Dumbledore approached them with a slight smile.

"Ah, are you having a party?"

James started stuttering "Um, n-no, not a p-party…"

"It's ok James; in fact, I think that a party is a wonderful idea"

James and Manny stared at Dumbledore as if he'd gone mad. But Dumbledore just turned around to lead them to their common room.

The founder's quarters were down the long corridor past the Gryffindor common room. The portrait hole was covered by a picture of the four founders. Godric Gryffindor grinned at the room.

"Password?" said Godric

"Honeydukes" Dumbledore told Manny, James, and Godric. The portrait swung open. "Have fun, if your not done by 11 pm, just let everyone stay over for the night" Dumbledore smiled and walked off. Manny and James led the group inside. They stood in what seemed to be the main living room and stared in awe. The ceiling was enchanted and looked like the sky, dark blue with millions of tiny gold stars. There were some couches and chairs with coffee tables in front of the couches. Off to the right was a door that had a red and gold banner that read 'Gryffindor'. To the left was a door that had a green and black banner that said Slytherin on it. There were three doors at the back of the living room. The one on the right said Ravenclaw, the one on the left said Hufflepuff and the door in the middle said bathroom. James headed towards the Gryffindor room and Manny went to the Slytherin room. Brett went outside the portrait hole to wait for Amber and Violet and whomever they brought. Everyone else went to explore.

James went into the Gryffindor room. The room was done in all red and gold. Off to his left was a big fireplace and there were some couches and chairs near the fireplace. Straight ahead there were three doors with red and gold banners on them. The door on the far left said Guest Dorm, the door in the middle said Main Dorm and the door on the far right said Tower Room. James decided to peek into each room. The guest room had eight 4-poster beds, red and gold of course. The main dorm had a 4-poster bed like in the guest room. There was a huge dresser against the wall opposite of the bed. . The walls and floor were red and gold. The tower room had stone steps going up so he went up the stairs. When he reached the top he peered through the doorway. This room was small and cozy with stonewalls. There were a few small Gryffindor banners on the walls. The only other things in the room were a table and two chairs.

Manny's rooms were identical except that everything was green and black. She explored the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff rooms after she checked out her rooms. They were also the same besides the fact that the Hufflepuff rooms were yellow and black and the Ravenclaw rooms were blue and silver. By this time James was back in the living rooms he and Manny both checked out the bathroom. The bathroom was gigantic. There were four big showers, 8 sinks and right in the middle of the floor was a huge tub almost the size of a pool. They walked out into the living room to see Brett leading Violet, Amber, Darrah, Derek, Charlotte, Jenn, and Lucas inside.

"Well now that everyone is here, lets get this party started" As James said this two giant speakers appeared and a book flew into his hands. The title was "Muggle Songs" James flipped through it and saw an interesting title, "Dragonstea Din Tei". He touched it and the song started to play.

"Oh, I know this song! It's sung in Romanian" yelled Henry over the music. Everyone started dancing around the room.

Alo, salut, sunt eu, un haiduc,
Si te rog, iubirea mea, primeste fericirea.
Alo, alo, sunt eu Picasso,
Ti-am dat beep, si sunt voinic,
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.

Chorus
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei,
Nu ma, nu ma iei,
Nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei.
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei,
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.

Te sun, sa-ti spun, ce simt acum,
Alo, iubirea mea, sunt eu, fericirea.
Alo, alo, sunt iarasi eu, Picasso,
Ti-am dat beep, si sunt voinic,
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.

After a couple more fast songs, a slow song came on. James walked over to Manny and said "Since we have to open up the Homecoming dance, want to practice?" She looked at his extended hand fore a few seconds and then mumbled 'sure". James lead her out to the middle of the room and put his arms around her waist as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love
Be everything that you need

I'll love you more with every breath
Truly Madly Deeply Do
I will be strong, I will be faithful
Coz I'm counting on

A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning (yeah)

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

And when the stars are shining
Brightly in the velvet sky
I'll make a wish send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry

The tears of joy for all the
Pleasure in the certainty
That we're surrounded
By the comfort and protection of

The highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

Oh can you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
Coz it's standing right before you
All that you need will surely come

I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love
Be everything that you need

I'll love you more with every breath
Truly Madly Deeply Do

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

When the song ended Manny realized she was a lot closer to James than she was at the beginning of the song but she found that she didn't particularly mind and that thought scared her. She lifted her head off James' shoulder and look straight into his eyes, he stared back into her eyes, Manny got this funny feeling in her stomach so she pulled away and ran towards her rooms.
