Chapter 6

A/N: It was not particularly good last chapter, was it? Oh well. I was going to do it in a bit more detail, but I had to go and watch the Olympic opening ceremony dress rehearsal and I really wanted to get the chapter up on that day. But I'll just get on with this one.

"We can dance until we die, you and I, we'll be young forever..."

I woke up really happy, with Noah next to me.
"Wake up, sleepyhead, time to get ready for classes!" I whispered in his ear. He smiled at my voice and slowly woke up. We had a bath in the prefects' bathroom, got dressed and went to breakfast, sitting on the Gryffindor table. Brittany looked over at me, confused. She made a circle with her thumb and a finger, and with the other hand, stuck a finger through the circle. I nodded and she looked excited.
"Students! Quiet please. I have an announcement to make!" Professor Schuester said excitedly, standing at the front of the great hall. "We are going to have an Autumn Ball! It's tonight! All girls will spend first period making their ball dresses, boys will spend second period machining their dress robes, first years and teachers on the Hufflepuff table, second and third years on the Ravenclaw table, fourth and fifth years on the Slytherin table and sixth and seventh years on the Gryffindor table. You will all get third period off to find dates, fourth period learning to dance and fifth period off to get ready. Arrive in the great hall at 7:30 and just leave when you're bored. We have the weird sisters in again!" Well, they have given us a lot of warning.
"Hey, Quinn? Will you go to the dance with me?" Noah asked.
"Of course I will. And we've just saved ourselves third period!" I laughed kissing him. I listened across the table to see if anyone else was finding dates. My eyes locked on Klaine. They weren't together, but they both had painstakingly obvious crushes on each other, and they were both completely oblivious.
"Um, Blaine? I was just wondering if…maybe…you can say no if you want, but would you maybe like to go to the dance with me?" Kurt muttered just loud enough so Blaine could hear him, but so could I. Blaine looked shocked for a moment. "You don't want to go with me? I mean, um, that's fine, but I-"Blaine cut Kurt off by kissing him full on and passionately. Kurt looked shocked for a moment, but kissed him back. The entire hall erupted into applause, because everyone was just waiting for the day when Klaine got together.
The girls just stayed in the Great Hall as the boys left. Tina went to the hospital wing to get Cho, who was let out. I walked over to the Slytherin table, where Santana and Brittany were already sitting there.
"How do we make dresses? I can't sew!" Brittany said.
"We make them with magic!" Santana said, laughing quietly at Brittany's stupidity. Where the food was, it was then covered with paper and pencils.
"Alright kids, design your dresses on here, and then go to Professor McGonagall, who will make them real and then you can make any changes that you want. Okay, let's go!" Professor Schuester said.
"What colour do you think my dress should be?" Santana asked Britt, Cho, some other girls on our table and I.
"Dark green compliments your skin tone…" Luna said thoughtfully, holding up some dark green material to her, that she had just conjured out of her wand.
"But red really makes you pop!" Hermione said, doing the same with red material.
"I would suggest both, but then you'd look like a Christmas tree…I'd say red…maybe one-sleeved…" Mercedes said.
"Yeah…that sounds good! I think you should have the sleeves made of roses," I said.
"Oh my gosh, Quinn, that is such a good idea!" Santana said.
"I think it should be, like, super-tight, but super-long…Like this!" And Brittany drew a design of what she thought of on the paper.
"Perfect! OMG, Britt, I love it!" Santana said.
"I want a kind of Tinkerbell dress…but with, like, red petticoats and stuff. What do you guys think?" Britt asked us. I took her piece of paper and drew a little dress with red petticoats, three buttons at the top and a little red belt.
"Quinn, that's AMAZING! I think you should go with a Cinderella themed dress…like a pale blue, long and flowing, rhinestones on the top, but a short top…" Britt said, drawing it out on the paper.
"What about…" Cho reached over and drew little net straps and a sash.
"I love it!" I said. "Cho, I assume you're going with another traditional Chinese dress. Are you going the same as the Yule ball dress, or completely different?"
"I was going with red, but Santana's doing that, so I'll go with dark green, with gold dragons and Chinese flowers patterned on. Tina?" Cho told us.
"Black, with red and silver patterns." She said, still in depth with her designing and hardly looking up at all.
"Hermione, your Yule ball dress last year was amazing, how are you going to top that?" Parvati asked Hermione, who was sitting, looking thoughtful.
"I might go with a white strapless dress, about knee-length, but the skirt the same style as Quinn's, no sash, just plain, and then a black fluffy poncho…" Everyone nodded in agreement, and Hermione whispered something to Britt, who drew the dress for her. My mind wandered back to the performance where some students sang the 'Hermione can't draw' song in our third year.
"Hannah, if I wear this, I'll look like a lemon meringue pie." Lauren Zizes said to Hannah Abbot, who had just designed her a yellow puffy dress.
"I think you'll look delicious." Britt said.
"I think you should wear navy. It's chic and slimming." Kurt said. Wait, what the hell is Kurt doing here?
"Okay, remind me again why Kurt's here?" Brittany asked.
"Because, Britt, I'm just supervising your dress choices. So far, they're all good, but I think Luna, Ginny, Rachel, Mercedes, Lavender, Parvati, Padma, Hannah and Susan need some help, so before the professors notice that I'm here, I will quickly design some dresses for them." Kurt informed us, already designing Luna's.
Lavender's was a navy mermaid dress with a silver triangle made of rhinestones, Rachel's was the same style as Hermione's, apart from minus the poncho and pale pink, with a little shiny hot pink belt, Mercedes's was a pinkish purple puffy dress with diamonds and sequins arranged neatly on the top, Ginny's was a faded black shiny knee-length dress with black sparkly lining on the straps and the hem, Parvati and Padma's were traditional Indian sari type dresses in alternate colours, similar to their Yule ball dresses, Hannah's was a silver-grey maxi dress with gold butterflies lining the top, Susan's was a hot pink and black version of Britt's dress and then he got stuck on Luna's.
"I'd like an orangey red dress…it is the autumn ball, after all." Luna said, and Kurt started designing it immediately. Luna nodded every now and then at what Kurt was doing. When he had finished, Luna added a few tweaks to make it her own. Kurt gave a pained look, but then shrugged, muttering,
"I guess I could make that work."
"Kurt, you'd better go before anyone realises you're here," I said.
"You're probably right."
"Wait, Kurt, make sure Noah has a tie in the same colour as my dress, and a wrist corsage that matches my eyes. Thanks, hun, come here!" I said giving him a kiss on the cheek and shoving him towards the door. "Oh yeah, and congrats with Blaine! I know you've fancied him since, like, forever!" He winked at us, grinning and silently left the room.
"Hey, guys, so, all Ravenclaws and Santana, come and get ready in me and Quinn's room, because it's big enough to-actually, Mercedes, Rachel, Ginny, Lavender, Parvati, we could fit you guys in too, so do you want to do that in our room?" Cho asked the other girls who were with us. They all nodded. "Come on, we'd better give McGonagall our dresses." We went over to the first years and the teachers and gave them our designs and they were instantly made. We all quickly went to me and Cho's room and hung their dresses up on a row of hangers I conjured on the wall.
"In third period, I'm gonna go to the transfiguration room and work out how to transfigure some useless objects into hair straighteners and curlers and stuff like that. And make up and whatever. Everyone, bring all the make-up and hair stuff that you've got."
In second period, Kurt designed his dress robes really quickly, and then sprinted up to our dorm to help us plan out hair. He hung his dress robes up on the wall and informed us he would be changing up here. We all gave him a look and he just said,
"I'm gay." And we shrugged and carried on designing hair. We conjured up models that resembled everyone in the room, dressed them in the dresses and gave them hair, which we styled how we designed them. Kurt and I stayed in the room for third period, because we already had dates, and everyone else went out to find dates. Cho came back within about 2 minutes, having just had Harry Potter ask her out. Rachel came back saying
"Jesse St James just asked me out!" very excitedly. Since Cedric died, Jesse has been known as 'the sexiest senior'. What the hell does he want Rachel for? He might have at least tried Santana, or Brittany, or Lavender, or Hannah Abbot, or someone that's not as…Rachel.
"OMG! Marrgh! Sam Evans just asked me out!" Mercedes screamed. Kurt screamed as well, hugging her, both of them still screaming. Then Lavender walked in sobbing.
"Hey, Lav, what's up?" I said concernedly, putting my arm around her.
"I thought," She started, still sobbing. "Th-that, cos I w-went to the Y-Yule ball w-w-with S-S-S-Seamus last y-y-year that h-he might g-g-go with me th-this year…"
"Has he already got a date?" I asked the distraught Lavender, who nodded. But she then started crying even more. "Who's he going with, babe?"
"D-D-Dean! It's j-just so h-humiliating!" Lavender buried her head in my shoulder. I guess that would be humiliating, for your ex to be gay. But then, I briefly dated Kurt at the end of second year, Blaine at the start of second year, Dean in third year and Seamus in first. Santana and Brittany have had sex with all four.
"Lav, I know how you feel. I've dated four gay guys. But, if I quickly fix your hair and make-up, I'm sure you'll find a date within the next five minutes." And I quickly fixed it, and sent her off.
"I'm going with Goyle." Lauren announced and sat down. Oh.
"I wanted to go with Dean, but he's going with Seamus, and then I got asked by Pansy Parkinson. So I'm going with Pansy Parkinson." Parvati said. We all knew she was bi, so this wasn't a shock or anything. Santana and Brittany walked in.
"I'm going with Draco Malfoy." Brittany said.
"Dave Karofsky." Santana said triumphantly. The rest of the girls eventually walked in. Hermione was going with Mike Chang(which Cho and Tina were not happy about), Ginny with Michael Corner, Lavender with Ron Weasley, Tina with Blaise Zabini, Hannah Abbot with Neville Longbottom, Susan Bones with Finn Hudson and Luna with Artie Abrams.
Luna went down to the kitchens to get us some low-calorie snacks to eat for lunch and we all got ready for the dance. Kurt showed us his moisturising technique, Rachel showed us her eyebrow plucking technique, and we did each other's moisturising and eyebrows. We all put face masks on and found the shoes that we had transfigured from drink glasses, and took turns in the bathroom, having quick showers. We washed off the face masks, and put the dresses on (dress robes in Kurt's case). In case you were wondering, we didn't need to wax our legs, or anything, because in second year, Lockhart showed us a spell how to get rid of them permanently.
Then we did make-up, then hair. Then an owl came through the window.

To Quinn, Kurt, Lavender, Susan, Hannah and Cho,
We heard you're all in a Ravenclaw room, so we will wait outside the Ravenclaw common room at 7:20, to walk down to the great hall with you.
Love, Noah, Blaine, Ron, Finn, Neville and Harry

At 7:15, we all started to get up and leave the room. Dave, Mike, Michael and Artie were waiting in the common room for Santana, Hermione, Ginny and Luna, and they left for the hall. Kurt decided that the people who were going with Gryffindor boys would all leave at the same time. Kurt somehow left first and I heard Finn say,
"Wow, Kurt! If I wasn't straight, or your brother, I'd so ask you out now!" Wow, he's thick.
"Yeah, dude, you look hot!" Artie said as he rolled past with Luna.
"Well, guys, he's mine, so paws off!" Blaine said, putting his arm around Kurt's waist and pecking him on the lips. Santana then left with Dave and, because of the tightness of the dress, every boy's mouth dropped open. Santana smirked at them all and strutted off, walking as sexily as possible, and even some of us girls got a bit turned on. Though mostly Brittany. Hannah Abbot walked out to greet Neville, who was waiting with them. Hannah did look stunning, and Neville was quite pleased about this. They walked off to the great hall before anyone could make any comments about her. Jesse came out of the common room with Rachel, who wanted to put her hair in a ponytail, but Kurt refused, and curled it, putting it over one shoulder, like Santana's. Rachel smiled shyly, like Hermione, when she had turned up to the Yule Ball with Viktor Krum. Hermione left the room, her hair was similar to last year's, but Kurt had designed it so that it seemed better. Ron and Harry looked at her, probably wondering how she managed to look this hot. I wanted to keep Noah in anticipation, so I waited for the rest of them to leave, before I descended the staircase that led out of the Ravenclaw tower, to find a few couple still stood there, waiting for me, and Noah. Kurt had made sure his tie was the same colour as my dress, and he had gotten me a wrist corsage, Gardenia, in light green, so it matches my eyes. If the boys were stunned by Santana, I was pleased to say that they were even more stunned by me. I linked my arm through Noah's, and we walked down to the great hall.
"You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." Noah whispered to me as we were walking. When we got to the hall, there was a silence as we walked in. All eyes were on us. I must have looked really hot.
The dance was quite fun. The Weird Sisters were performing again, and they did a few slow songs towards the end. Noah and I stayed for quite a long time, just dancing there, with me resting my head on his shoulder. He whispered softly over the music.
"We can dance until we die, you and I, we'll be young forever…"

A/N, most of the dresses are their prom dresses, and with Kurt he would be wearing what he wore for the Prom-a-Saurus rather than Junior Prom. Hermione is wearing the thing that AVPM Hermione wore, and that includes the hair, and Luna is wearing the dress that Quinn wore in Furt. Rachel has the dress of Junior Prom, but the hair of Senior. I am all for the pairings of Dean and Seamus, and Parvati and Pansy, so I had to use them. I think this is my longest chapter so far, so I'll just stop now.
