Chapter Ten: Decisions
"So what do you think Sirius? Do you think we should make our relationship official tonight by going to the dance together?" Hermione had explained everything that she had heard from Ginny to Sirius and now she awaited his answer, somewhat nervously.
"Of course, I think that's a great idea. Do you have any ideas as to who we should go as?"
Hermione had let out a sigh of relief. "Actually I was thinking..."
"Fred, George, thank you for coming so quickly." Minerva had a huge grin spread across her face.
"Well you did say it was urgent, Headmistress." The twins seemed slightly agitated,
"Please don't be so informal, you are no longer students here, it is Minerva. Actually I was wondering if you could do me a favor..."
Severus was in his office grading some papers and thinking What should I go as? I need to go as something that will be intimidating to everybody, but also mysterious. After all I still need to win Hermione heart. That is, if she's ever going to get away from Draco. Think, man, think you've had to have heard of something. Wait that's perfect! It fits my personality. It also fits the situation with me Hermione and Sirius. It's Perfect! Now were to get the costume...
Remus had gone to his Room and was about to take a shower when there was a knock on his door. Now who could that Be? He went to the front and opened his door and there stood Minerva. "Hello, Minerva, this is certainly unexpected. What can I do for you today?" Remus was actually rather annoyed by the women but he did not tell her this.
"Hello, Remus, as you probably already know tonight Hogwarts is having a Masque ball, we were hoping that you could join us." Minerva finished rather quickly.
"Alright what the catch?" Remus had noticed that she fidgeted rather nervously.
"Well, actually you do have to do something, but I can't just say it out loud, even walls have ears." Minerva looked around, as if half expecting someone to jump out at them.
"Alright, here." He had handed her pen and paper, he watched her write it slowly, a little to slowly, and then he read it. "Absolutely not women, are you crazy?" He looked at her disbelieving.
"Not disbelieving, just optimistic." and then there was silence.
"Piper, Leo, we have to hurry, if we are going to get the kids, pick up our costumes and make it to London by seven." Paige was nervous, anyone could see that. "Nate did you pick up our costumes?"
Nate snuck up behind her. "Yes, darling all we have to do is go and pick up Piper and Leo's. Didn't the Headmistress say that some one would meat us here at five thirty and apparate us?" Nate had a huge smirk on his face. He loved it when his wife got all agitated like this, it made her look sexy.
"Yes but we have to get to the school a little bit early so that we can finish getting ready. Arianna said that her friend Hermione new a spell that would die my hair temporarily, and Piper will want to put a few last minute touches on our costumes." Paige hollered at Piper and Leo once more.
"I wonder who they are going as?" Nate asked.
"I don't know. They won't tell anyone, not event Darryl. Which is really annoying, I guess we'll just have to wait and see." After saying this, Paige leaned up and kissed her adoring husband, then she got Prue's and Melinda's jacket, and started to head out the door. "Piper, Leo, were leaving without you."
"Alright, alright were coming. Can't a wife enjoy a kiss from her husband?" Piper smiled playfully at Leo.
"A kiss yes, but not a make out cession." Paige answered for Leo.
"Ah, Ginny, could I speak to you for a minute?" Harry asked.
"Sure, Harry. What is it?" Ginny tone sounded hopeful.
"Actually, I was wondering...that is if you don't already have...I was wondering if you would like to go to the dance with me tonight." Harry managed to get out in one breath.
"Oh, Harry! I'd love to, but who should we go as?"
"Well maybe..."
"Hey, Luna?" Neville had approached her as if she was the most fearsome creature on earth,
"Yes, Neville?" She asked dreamily.
"Do, you, I mean, would you like to go to the dance with me tonight?" He asked somewhat cautiously.
"What do you think of the planets?" Luna asked with a far away look in her eyes.
"Huh? Oh, I love them. Was that a yes?" Neville was a little surprised at her answer
Ron was walking around outside until he found what, rather who, he was looking for. He hesitated at first. But he decided to put one foot in front of the other and Juuump over the Mooooon.
'Are you okay Storm?" Erik asked his wife a little worriedly.
"Yeah, just feel a little quesy, is all. Maybe you should go on without me." Storm went to lay down.
'Are you sure?" Erik still didn't sound totally convinced.
"Yeah, I'm just going to lay down for a while, besides the faculty expect to see you there." Storm tried to make her voice sound convincing.
"Okay, but I still don't have to start getting ready for a couple of hours. How about I lay down with you for a while?" Erik still was worried, but he wanted to make her as comftorable as possible.
"Okay." She said drowsily.
They slowly made their way towards the bedroom.
