Chapter 2: The Ball

Siria woke up early in the morning, around 7 o'clock.

She did not want to wake anyone and decided to take a morning walk around the castle and took her wand and spells book with her..

Just outside the family dormitory, Siria found out that the stairs were moving constantly.

As she finally made it to the ground floor, she went to the Grand Doors where they came in yesterday night.

Siria was only dressed in her most simple gown and a coat.

At the Atrium, Siria did some of the spells from her book, transfugrating stones into small animals like birds, puppies or kittens.

``You're pretty clever.´´ a voice from behind said.

Siria turned around, seeing a Lord of her age.

``Thank you, Mr...?´´ Siria said.

``Just call me Harry.´´ the Lord said. ``And you might be?´´

``Siria Black, nice to meet you.´´ Siria said.

``And how old are you, Siria?´´ Harry asked.

``I'm 16 now.´´ Siria said. ``I'll turn 17 at 31 October.´´

``I'm also 16, and my parents' only child. They want me to marry a girl pretty soon.´´ Harry told her.

``I still have my 20-year-old brother Luciandus and my 18-year-old sister Sapphira.´´ Siria said.

``So your sister is here too? Are you two rivals or so?´´ Harry asked.

``No, but me and Sapphira are quietly the opposite of each other. That's how our parents call it, but I call it sisterly difference.´´ Siria replied.

``Good luck with your sister then. And I think that the Prince will be impressed by you.´´ Harry said.

``I don't think that way.´´ Siria said, looking down.

``And why do you think that?´´ Harry asked.

``I might not be beautiful enough, and I guess that he's looking for a redhead girl like my sister or some girl called Ginerva Weasley.´´ Siria said.

``And why do you think that?´´ Harry asked.

``His mother. Not that I have anything against Queen Lily or so, but redheads are mostly the prettiest women there are.´´ Siria said. ``And I'm not that beautiful. I might have the brains, but that's certainly not enough.´´

``You've got a low self-confidence, haven't you?´´ Harry asked.

``I've always been like that, my sister put it so low.´´ Siria said. ``Because of her arrogance.´´

``I know the Prince very well and he's looking for a clever girl with lots of brains. I know he'll like you. And just put up your self-confidence, it will help you.´´ Harry told her.

``Thank you, Harry.´´ Siria said before Harry walked away. 'Could he have been the Prince himself?'


That night at 8 o'clock, both Black sisters dressed themselves and did their make up.

Siria's gown was very normal & simple if you were a Lady.

``You're not going to dance with the Prince until I did, understand?´´ Sapphira asked.

``Yes Sapphira.´´ Siria said.

Sapphira looked at her like she did not believe her sister.

Siria's gown was red & gold like normally, her underskirt had a mosaïque like print with a golden edge at the bottom.

The upper skirt was solid red with two golden edges, two or three inches between them.

Her corset was solid red with a golden leave-trim at the top with Pearls on it.

There was also a trim at the top of the skirt, dark red with a golden edge.

The sleeves were also dark red, with a golden lace edge at the end of the sleeve. On the sleeves, there was a shoulder band, dark red with real Crystals.

Siria also wore a silver necklace with robins and a golden tiara with robins.

In her hair was a red rose at both sides of her head.

Siria's long black hair was mostly loose, but a part was curled around the back of her head in a braid.

Sapphira herself had a different style, her hair wasn't as long as Siria's, a lot shorter. Her hair was dark red, curled up in a braid and the edges of her hair were loose.

Her eyes were deathly black, while Siria's were bright emerald green.

Sapphira's gown was Slytherin green, dark green, with silver edges.

The corset and the underskirt had both a flower motive, and the upper skirt was solid with a silver edge like the underskirt.

Her sleeves did not cover all of her arms like Siria's sleeves did, which were also a bit wider.

Sapphira did not wear any trim, but a silver band that covered the top of the corset.

As accessoires, Sapphira had a silver tiara with emeralds, a silver necklace with Crystals, white gloves and a belt of Pearls & emeralds.

Then Lucia Black née Lupin appeared in the girls' room. ``We've got to go girls.´´

Sapphire put on her most high looking face while Siria just walked into the Ballroom.

The Ballroom was big and magnificent. All the decoration was perfectly beautiful and amazing to your eyes, it almost blinded you.

``Welcome, Wizarding Lords and Ladies from all over the country, to the Palace of Hogwarts.´´ King James Potter spoke to the crowd. ``Tonight, my son shall pick a few Ladies he'll dance with, those he's chosen, shall be expected tomorrow morning in the Atrium for a special breakfast. Thank you all for listning.´´


Prince Harry Potter stepped down the stairs in his Gryffindor red & gold robes, looking for the girl. Probably she did not know he was the one she met this early morning, or she had her reason to not ask him for his surname.

Then he saw her, standing behind two girls he hated: Ginerva Molly Weasley and Lavender Alice Brown, pro-Pureblood girls who only cared about status.

``Your majesty!´´ they greeted him.

``No time girls, I want to dance with somebody else.´´ Harry said and walked to the girl he wanted: Siria Lucia Black. ``Ms Black, you'd like to take this dance?´´

Siria looked shocked, but took his hand.

As Harry lead her towards the dancefloor, she seemed to be very afraid.

``Nobody will hurt you, otherwise, I'll hex the one who does.´´ Harry said, which made Siria calmer.

The slow music started, and they danced to the rythem of the music.

``I would like to see you tomorrow morning at the Atrium for breakfast, your sister won't be there, don't worry.´´ Harry said.

``It's that Weasley girl, a pro-Pureblood, I can't stand her. She only wants fame and money.´´ Siria said.

``How'd you know that?´´ Harry asked.

``I'm family with them, it's very far back into the line, but we are family somehow.´´ Siria said. ``And all members of the House of Weasley have been just as bad as the members of the House of Malfoy, and they hate each other.´´

``I know Lord Malfoy and his son, they're not here. Only families with girls are here.´´ Harry said.

``It's not that I hate the House of Malfoy, but there would be a huge fight between the Heir of Malfoy and the youngest Son of Weasley since they're of the same age.´´ Siria told.

``Don't be afraid for such a thing, and by the way, besides you there will be two other girls at the breakfast tomorrow: Luna Ellianna Lovegood & Hermione Jean Granger, you'll love them.´´ Harry said.

``I know Luna from primary Charms class, we were the outsiders of the group at school. And I also know Hermione, I'm teaching her in Transfugration since she's a Muggleborn.´´ Siria said.

``Great, then you three won't be a trouble for my parents to handle.´´ Harry said as he let go of her. ``Thank you for this dance, Ms Black.´´

``It was me an honor, Prince Potter.´´ Siria said, lightly bowed and left the dancefloor.

`She's amazing. Now I'll look for Ms Lovegood and Ms Granger.´ Harry thought and also left the dancefloor.


Ginerva Molly Weasley had seen how Prince Harry had danced with that girl of Black, she hated her!
