Julia sighs setting the parchment and book down, "your right about that, I had told to Uncle to talk to Emma before class. I'm still worried about Halloween!" she answers.

Draco reaches out and takes Julia's hand in his own rubbing his thumb over her knuckles, "Hun, I thought we decided this, you are going to do the thing yourself." He says.

Julia smile up at him and says 'yea but I'm going to need your help." Before leaning in to whisper in his ear.

Chapter 15: Halloween Ball

Julia sighs as she finishes putting on her blood red lipstick, as she puts down the stick the other reaching up holding onto the green and sliver snake around her neck. Through the mirror she watches her sister finish putting on her shoes and having some kind of conversation with Hermione.

She smiles slightly at what her sister was wearing, she had on a long black silk shirt with a thigh high split, on top she had a black tank top with a blood red Celtic star, and she had red lipstick on and black eye shadow. Julia sighs again rubbing her head slightly looking herself over now.

She had on a long black velvet dress with thigh high splits on both sides of her body, tie up black boots that reach her knees are sitting beside her chair. She also had on a cape that was black on the outside and blood red inside, which attached to rings that were now on her two middle fingers so she could easily wrap the cap around herself. Her black and dark navy blue eye shadow brought the outfit together in mystery and fear.

The two sisters had not really talked since that day Emma had talked to their uncle, but she did seem to hang close to Harry so her sister can't do anything. Julia had tried to get the stuff from Harry but never getting close enough without her sister appearing, and she knew tonight was her last change. Julia looks at the necklace that she wear remembering her conversation with Draco, knowing he was going to help her tonight. Julia quickly puts on her shoes before leaving the common room.

Harry was in his and Ron's dorm getting ready as well. Their costumes were all the more difficult. It included a lot of charm work. Ron had slipped on the veil and stood, ready for Harry to start his work.

Harry placed glamour charms on his arms to make them replicas of the dementors and made the veil over Ron's head appear as if it were immersed in water and was cold to the touch, for others but not for Ron. After all they didn't need to find Ron with Pneumonia.

"Hold still Ron, I can't do this with you squirming.' Harry replied. 'I don't need to have to rush you to the hospital wing because you were too impatient to allow me to give you the protection spell against cold. Hermione would have my arse if you caught Pneumonia."

"Sorry mate." Ron apologized.

Harry had on a pair of normal trousers that were worn and torn is strategic spots to create an 'I fought for my life and lost!'-look. Ron grabbed some seaweed that they had bought at Hogsmeed and he placed it into Harry's hair on the left side of it.

Harry went to his mirror and looked at his image, he had faded and torn jeans and a very old and torn and weathered looking dark forest green button up long-sleeved shirt on. With a wave of his wand it looked as though he had been dropped into the lake and brought out.

He went to his bed and grabbed some face paint that Hermione had bought, magical face paint. It didn't wear off till you said 'Complete' with your wand. After rubbing it into his skin over every inch that was visible he then waved his wand again and it turned a sickly blue-white, as if he had truly drowned.

Ron looked over to him, and then grabbed a special lipstick called 'death-divine'. It made the wearer's lips look as though they had suffocated when they truly were fine. A wonderful product by the Weasley twins. Oh how he owed them for that one.

"Here mate, don't forget the last bit. Can't look dead with lips that look alive and well." Ron replied tossing it to him.

When they had completed their costumes Harry and Ron put on their shoes, invisibility boots for Ron to make him appear as if he were floating and a pair of dragon hide boots he bought not to long ago for this occasion.

"Mate, I am so glad you chose to give the spider costume the boot.' Ron shivered as they walked down the staircase to meet Hermione, Emma and Julia sitting a little further off.

The wheels in Julia's head were already turning, plotting and scheming in order to get her job done for their Uncle.

Heading down to the grate hall together they entered to find the ceiling littered with floating pumpkins. The walls had black and orange and blood red streamers dangling on them.

On the other side of the great hall was a platform with a band on it. They were called 'the Walking dead'. The whole room was filled with students of all years. A song was playing by Bif Naked called 'Vampire'.

Baby get ready - I'm coming for you,
I'm a vampire!
I want you - nothing you can do,
I'm a vampire!
watch me do my dance for you,
I want you - nothing you can do,
baby get ready - I'm coming for you,

Julia sighed and yawned as she stayed leaning against a far wall in the great hall. She was getting bored with this stupid dance; they kept announcing winners of certain contests that were being held.

I'm a vampire!
come to my world, child of the night,
come out of your darkness and into my light,
looking for you all of your life,
don't be afraid - it'll be all right...
god grant you serenity,
you bring out the best in me,
let my love take you higher,
guess what... I'm a vampire!
Baby get ready - I'm coming for you,
I'm a vampire!

She slowly crosses her arms, her cap wrapping around her, trying to find something to do. She wanted to dance with Draco but they had agreed to meet later to dance before their plan went into action.

She could feel the eyes of the trio and her sister looking over at her every now and then, wondering why she wasn't dancing with Draco. She knew she was making her sister nervous and that was pretty much the only thing keeping a smile on her face right now.

I want you - nothing you can do,
I'm a vampire!
watch me do my dance for you,
I want you - nothing you can do,
baby get ready - I'm coming for you,

Emma was dancing to a slow song with Harry, Ron and Hermione was dancing close by, Emma had her head on Harry's shoulder. She could hear the other girls from Gryffindor muttering under their breath.

Emma turns her head slightly towards where her sister stood by herself like always, watching her watch Draco, who was dancing across the room.

I'm a vampire!
in your head you always hear me
close your eyes - I'm all that you see,
for lust, for life, my intimate fire,
nightly dances, dance in desire...
god grant you serenity,

There was a disco ball that flashed different colors at different points of the room at different times. As the white light passes over her sister it seemed to reflect on something on her sisters neck, something that looks like a snake.

Emma and Harry do a quick twist at that moment and Emma takes her eyes off Julia. Emma spots Julia slip between a big group of people and disappear into the crowed.

you bring out the best in me,
let my love take you higher,
guess what... I'm a vampire!
Baby get ready - I'm coming for you,
I'm a vampire!
I want you - nothing you can do,
I'm a vampire!

Unknown to them Julia and Draco come up to Harry and Emma from behind. Julia brings out a pair of scissors and quickly cuts o lock of his hair. Draco holds a vile up to her and it drops it. Seconds later as a flash of green light passes over them it blocks out the flash of green from the disappearing vile of hair.

watch me do my dance for you,
I want you - nothing you can do,
baby get ready - I'm coming for you,
I'm a vampire!
(let's be together... don't be afraid... you called me... I was what you wished for...
you held me here beside you... I was what you wished for... I came for you... I

Julia slips the scissors back into a pocket in her cape. They head to the door and Emma sees them leave. She pulls away from Harry and excuses herself.

came
for you... I was what you wished for... you taste like honeydew... be careful what you
wish for... I wished for you your whole life... be careful what you wish for... let me
be you tonight... tonight...)
baby get ready - I'm coming for you,
I'm a vampire!
I want you - nothing you can do,
I'm a vampire!
watch me do my dance for you,
I want you - nothing you can do,
baby get ready - I'm coming for you,
I'm a vampire!

Harry follows her with Ron and Hermione close behind him. As they open the door they hear Emma and Julia fighting.

"How could you. We have no clue what Voldemort wants the hair for. I told you not to do it. But you did it any way. How could you?" Emma shouts with tears in her eyes.

"I had to, what about Mum and Dad sis? What about them? Or have you been to busy into the Gryffindor's to care about them any more?" Julia snarls and snaps out.

"What? Where did she go? You can't aparate from school grounds." Hermione asks in disbelief.

"And what about Voldemort. What is going on?" Harry asks.

"I'll tell you late, just stay here. I have to deal with my sister." Emma replies and walks out the doors and into the grounds.

Harry, Ron and Hermione follow a distance away. They see Emma and Julia by the lake with Draco. Emma and Julia ignore Draco and banter and bicker toward the other. Trying to get their reasons known but not hearing what the other says.

Draco sees the trio heading their way. He pokes Julia in the side and points to the trio. Harry and his friends stand between Julia and Emma but off to the side.

Julia shouts a spell and Hermione and Ron go flying back. Julia snaps behind Harry and swipes a blade at his arm. Emma tries to get to her sister to stop him but Draco holds her firmly.

In a last ditch effort Emma links her leg around Draco's and pulls it forward sending him toppling to the ground. She fades out and knocks the vial of blood to the ground, smashing it before the delayed Portkey took effect.

Julia stumbles back and glares at her sister. Her eyes are hard and calculating. Emma smiles at her as if nothing happened.

"What the hell is going on here?" Ron shouts, finding his voice.

"Well, that will take some explaining from my dear sister over here. But in regards to my actions, I was told to get a lock of hair and blood from Harry. But I refused; apparently my dear sister didn't head my words when I told her that Voldemort wanted it for evil purposes.' She says to the trio. She turns to her sister. 'Apparently you don't trust our parents to be good enough and smart enough to take care of them selves. Do you really think so low of them?"

Julia glares and Draco who is looking on in interest. She turns to her sister and her glare hardens even more.

"Well, Julia Cardigan I am waiting for your explanation, as well as my friends." Julia cringed inwardly at the tone.

She was definitely in trouble. Her sister never used this tone, only when she was exceptionally mad. Her Slytherin side was always hidden, but that only made it more dangerous when it finally came out.
