"That was embarrassing." Helen said coming out of the All Females Items and Needs, with Rena and Hermione.

"It's like that the first time, for everyone Helen." Hermione explained.

"You too, Hermione!" Rena exclaimed shockingly.

"Yes, me too!" Hermione rolled her eyes at Rena.

"C'mon, Lunch's in 15 minute." Hermione looked at her watch.

"Hermione we don't need to hurry, it's only lunch time." Rena said boringly.

"WE need to get back, so McGonagall won't deduct point, Rena. And we agree to be back by lunchtime." Hermione reminded her.

"Rena do you want detention? Because I don't" Hermione said rushing off toward the school Helen, following her. Rena groaned in annoyance and run after them.

The trio, were out of breath when the reach the Entrance door to the school. "Good we made it, with 8 minute to put our things in our room and join the other in the Great Hall." Hermione said happily looking at her watch.

"C'mon you two." Hermione said trying to drag them up the stairs, including herself.

Draco was watching Granger trying to drag the other two up the stairs. 'What are those Gryffindorks doing?' he look at Potter especially. 'That is no way to be a female.' He mused walking over to them, with his friends.

"It seems that you need some help dragging them up Granger." Draco commented.

"Not really." Granger said sarcastically, as Blaise and Theo came up to the girls offering their help. Granger nodded, picking up their package.

"Oh, my!" Granger gasped.

"Helen! C'mon follow me now. You should've notice." Granger warned casting a melting spell and dragged Potter off toward the closest, bathroom, Weasley followed stupidly.

"Well…that went well." Blaise said sarcastically. Draco looked at the spot that Granger cast the spell and saw a little spot with water instead of snow there.

"Yeah." Theo agreed.

"C'mon, lunch is starting." Draco comment 'what was that she's doing? Is she trying to hide something.' 'damnit… why am I thinking like this! I don't care about that he-she' Draco scolded him self.

For the rest of the day Draco and his friends didn't saw the trio at all until dinner time. Draco saw that Potter have changed her clothing.

"Ladies and gentleman!" Dumbldore said in a loud voice that, make everyone quiet down.

"As I've got the same question to as what was the theme to the dance." The Headmaster pause looking around. "The theme is muggle. If you're wondering why, it's because there were plenty of Wizarding music, that we used, and it be a surprise If some of you student might take a liking to the music, that night." Dumbledore sat down, and the buzzing starts again. In Draco's opinion Dumbledore have became a nutter. 'He always bothering with the muggle and mudblood who, know nothing at all.'

"Muggle theme huh." Draco said amused that this old coot could try something like this.

"What do you think Blaise?" Draco asked.

"I think that it might be interesting to see how muggle's music are like." Blaise replied.

The three Slytherin males were trying to figure out what their dates are going to wear, but they never got an clear answers. But instead of thinking of his date he was thinking about a certain raven hair girl.

"Too bad for you Theo. You could've peeked into Granger's bag earlier." Draco snickers.

"Well Draco! I want to see the surprise for me during that night." Theo inform not bothered that he don't know what Hermione's going to wear.

"What's her name again?" Blaise asked

"Who?" Draco returned the question.

"The Ravenclaw girl." Blaise answered waiting for his answer.

"A Marcy Parone, 6th year student." He replied.

"Interesting." Theo comment

"What!" The other two boys asked.

"That!" Theo said pointing to the girl Marcy walking toward them.

"What do you think she want?" The ask Draco.

"How the bloody hell should I know." Draco retorted.

"We'll find out soon enough.' Blaise said.

"Draco…." She said

"Yes? What is it?" Draco ask.

"Can we talk it's urgent." She said eyeing Blaise and Theo.

"Sure." Draco stands up to lead the way out of the Great Hall.

"So what is it that's so important?" Draco asked.

"I can't go to the ball with you, my parents in St. Mungo and I'm going home ahead of everyone to take care of them at the hospital." Marcy said tears wielding in her eyes.

"It's fine go and take care of your parent. I'll ask someone else." Draco said watching her when she tried to speak again. "And don't worry I'm not mad that you can't go with me. Family, first." Draco said trying to smile at her, but failed misery. Marcy smiled at him and gives him a quick kiss on the cheek, leaving to enter the Great Hall.

"Oh, well. I need to get another girl before Pansy found out and bugged me again" He said to himself entering the Great Hall after Marcy. He didn't know that a certain someone was listening to the conversation, she just smirked to herself. "Draco Malfoy has been rejected." she said to no one.

"This should be interesting." She said to herself.

"So, what did she want?" Theo asked. Draco looked around the table and Great Hall trying to spot pansy, but she's not there, and the trio has left the great Hall.

"She told me that she can't go with me due to family business." Draco said looking around the room for another date.

"Really so you're either free or go with Pansy since every other girl have date according to Pansy. Or if you don't going with a male."

"I'll take the going alone Blaise."

"That was embarrassing." Helen said coming out of the All Females Items and Needs, with Rena and Hermione.

"It's like that the first time, for everyone Helen." Hermione explained.

"You too, Hermione!" Rena exclaimed shockingly.

"Yes, me too!" Hermione rolled her eyes at Rena.

"Oh, my!" Granger gasped.

"Helen! C'mon follow me now. You should've notice." Granger warned casting a cleansing spell and dragged Potter off toward the closest, bathroom, Weasley followed stupidly.

"Well…that went well." Blaise said sarcastically. Draco looked at the spot that Granger cast the spell and saw a little redness there.

"Yeah." Theo agreed.

"C'mon, lunch is starting." Draco comment 'what was that red thing? Is she hurt.' 'damnit… why am I thinking like this! I don't care about that he-she' Draco scolded him self.

"I'll take the going alone Blaise."

The week passes slowly, everyone anxiously waiting for the arrival of the ball except for Helen and Rena. Every corridor have Christmas and The ball decoration, now not only the Great Hall. Helen or anyone can tell that Sirius Black and Snape are warming up to each other, more then anyone liking. Talks are all over the castle that they've gotten together, since they have got crush on each other since their time at Hogwart as student. There are also bet on which couple would look the best together. The bet were mainly on Helen and Carol, Rena and Blaise, Hermione and Theo, and Draco and Linda (Which the information, that Blaise give him was false or incorrect). Helen didn't like the fact that she's part of the bet. Or the rumors about Sirius.

Helen was surprise that Malfoy stopped bothering altogether, she didn't know if she should be surprise or upset. 'what the bloody hell, am I thinking! I hates him!' Helen try to convince herself

"Helen, Rena aren't you two ready yet?" Hermione asked annoyed, who was already in her, dress and ready to go down but decided to wait for her two best friends.

"No. we're still not got use to dresses yet. And Rena got the zipper stuck on my dress and Hers." Helen hollowed out of the bathroom. Hermione gave a heavy signed walking into the bathroom.

"Come here, I'll do that. You do know that everyone's ready except for you two?" Hermione asked.

"You looked wonderful." Rena said in awe.

"Thank you, but worry about yourself." Hermione snapped at them. Fixing their dresses, so there won't be any cress on them by the time they should wear it.

"Wait here I'll be back." Hermione said disappeared and reappeared back a minute latter with the same group of girls from last week.

"Now I understand Hermione's frustrated look." Lavender commented. In no less then thirty minutes, Helen and Rena wear full dressed and have make-ups on.

"Time to go, so hurry up. We don't have the time to waste around here. They're going to get frustrate if they have to wait any longer." Hermione snapped at the delay, referring to their date.

The three male that was waiting for their date at the Gryffindor common room portraits wasn't disappointed at the extra minute wait, when the saw the girls coming out.

"Wow…!" Blaise said looking at Rena, he let go of the breath that he didn't know that he was holding.

"Amazing…!" Theo gasped.

"You're gorgeous Helen..." Carol gasped out.

"Thank you Carol" Helen blushed madly, in her 17 years have any one compliment her like this before. Carol watch Helen blushed musing.

Helen tried to avoid the eye contact, by looking at her best friends' date whom was devouring Hermione and Rena with their eyes. They turned Theo look at the person that make the 'ahem' sound, and stared straight into Helens' surprise eye.

"Helen." Carol said holding his arm out to her to hold onto. Helen blushed again taking a hold onto Carol's arm looking at the other couples. Helen noted that they were off to their own fantasy world again.

"Nice tux." She compliment.

"Thanks." Came three voice.

"Are you guys ready to go?" Helen asked, getting them out of their daze. The group blushed at her, Helen was amused at the sight before her, and she wonders if she blushed as much as they did.

They nodded as Blaise and Theo hold their arms out to Rena and Hermione, who hesitantly took them.

"Let's go then." Carol said trying to get a hold of Helens other hand that wasn't occupied with anything, which he was disappointed when Helen moved it out of reach. The other two couple followed their lead down to the great hall. Helen was getting nervous when people stared at him when he passed by them. The three male only left their side to open the door for them to enter. The great hall went silent when they saw who have entered the room.

They gasped holding their breath when they saw Helen, Draco turned around to see what have made the Room went silent. He also gasped when he saw Helen standing at the door way blushing hard, in Draco's opinion He have never saw anyone as stunning as Helen right now wearing a light blue Donna Ricco Chiffon Halter Dressin silk chiffon, with charmeuse waistband inset and charmeuse Halter straps, flutter hemline with lettice edging, which ties at the back of the neck. With sides zip. Boning at bodice for support, fully lined, and hits at the midcalf, with surplice neckline. Her face was cover in only a little amount of make-up, lavender color eye shadow, eye-liner right under her eyes, (which bring out her eyes even more) and with some blush on her cheeks (not that noticeable if he didn't look carefully), and some clear lipgloss to cover her full red lips ('I wana taste those lips of hers' Draco thought to himself). Helen let her hair loose which was curly now. Draco mentally slaps himself at those thought.

Draco then looked at Weasley who wore a White Pebble Georette Halter dress with tie back, low gathered v-neck, gathered midriff and midcalf length flared skirt.

He then turned his gaze to Granger who wore a light brown European Satin spaghetti strap A-line gown with modified princess seams. And low back with inverted pleats and train.

Draco looked at Helen who was holding onto Manze's arm blushing. Draco glared at them. He watches them with every other male shooting jealousy wave toward him. Draco wanted to punch Manze and take Helen for himself.
