A/N: Hi everybody! How's it going? Golly gee wiz! I sure am excited about Christmas! Okay, that was strange. Yeah…just read the story please. Oh, and about the title of this chapter…It isn't capitalized because it's a sentence…sort of…Oh, and when you say it out loud, say it like an annoying sports caster guy. It makes the title seem funnier.

Chapter 13: Wow, that didn't last long.

"I have an announcement to make!" cried Dumbledore. "Cue the dramatic music," he whispered to McGonagall. "Students! I have decided to throw a Christmas Ba-I mean Holiday Ball tonight," he said as he remembered that several people in the school were Jewish and did not celebrate Christmas.

"Didn't we just have a ball?" asked Harry.

Dumbledore's eyes got all shifty and suspicious looking. "Uh…No we didn't?"

"Yeah, we did," said Harry.

"Uh… DON'T QUESTION YOUR HEADMASTER!" he yelled. "I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!"

"But Professor-"

"Geez Harry! Could you lay off just this once? I'm sick and tired of you! You do not know how hard it is to be around you all the time! 'Dumbledore! My mommy is dead, my daddy is dead, Sirius is dead, WAAAHHH! I'm gonna die too!' I can only imagine what your poor friends endure! I mean, I only see you a few times a day, and they see you nearly every waking moment! That must be awful!" screamed Dumbledore.

Harry was silent as everyone stared at Dumbledore. Everyone was utterly shocked.

That very night

Everyone was busy getting ready for the dance. Unfortunately, most of the students didn't have dates or anything to wear because the dance came up on such short notice. Natalie didn't have a date since George couldn't come that night. Poor me.

The Congregation of Amigos was walking down the corridor, heading toward the dance. Natalie shuddered as she asked if Raquel's date to the dance was Malfoy.

"No, I don't have a date. Fred couldn't make it on such short notice," she said.

"You're already back with Fred?" asked Ginny.

"Of course!" said Raquel.

"Wow, that didn't last long," said Jordan in an annoying sports caster guy voice.

"I got back together with Fred because he is a much better kisser than Malfoy," said Raquel simply.

At the ball

Everyone ate, drank, socialized, and danced. Then, some more stuff happened and everyone went to their dorms and talked and slept.

In the Gryffindor Common Room

The Congregation of Amigos was talking.

"Wow! I can't believe that all of that actually happened!" exclaimed Natalie.

"I will never look at Seamus the same way ever again!" said Ron.

"I know! And what Dean did next…I'll never stop laughing about that!" said Ginny.

"I think we all can agree that tonight was truly a bizarre, yet hilarious night!" said Hermione.

"After all the crazy stuff that happened at the ball tonight, I'm pretty tired," said Harry. "I think that I'll turn in early."

"Me too," said Raquel.

"Me three," said Ron.

"Me four," said Ginny.

"Me five," said Hermione.

"Me six," said Natalie.

"What comes after six?" asked Jordan.

"Seven," said Hermione.

"Oh… Me seven," said Jordan.

Then Jordan blew up.

A/N: Oops. I guess that there isn't much action in this chapter. I haven't typed any good action lately. Huh.
