Chapter 13: Finding Love
It had been a few weeks since Harry and Ginny Potter had arrived at Hogwarts with their friends Ron, Hermione, Bill, Fleur, Luna and Neville. Christmas was only a few days away and all the students would be heading home for Christmas. It was breakfast and all the students had been summoned to the grand hall, all they knew was that Professor McGonagall had something big to share with the who school.
"What do you think this is all about?" Asked Rupert sitting on the Ravenclaw table with Charlotte, Laura, Kieran, Josh, Tom, Emily, Pip, Zack, Colin and Pixie
"I don't know" Shrugged Tom
"But it must be something important" Answered Charlotte "I mean come on, there has never been a time where all the students in the school have been sat in once place for this amount of time"
"Charlotte must be right, no one ever stays in here too long" Whispered Josh
"QUITE! QUITE!" Shouted Professor McGonagall who had just stood up from her seat, every single student who had been speaking shut up, as if someone had been murdered...but nothing like that happened all Professor McGonagall wanted to do was get their attention which she had got.
"In a few days time you will be returning to your homes. Now to celebrate a successful term we are going to hold a Christmas ball. Now today we give you all permission to go into Hogsmead to buy a dress for the party which will happen in two days time. Lesson will be postponed until after Christmas. Oh you can buy a mask for the party as it is a masquerade party, but you don't have to wear one if you don't want to" Said Professor McGonagall, she stood up and left, everyone looked around at each other and shrugged
"I guess that was the big news" Said Colin
"Yay, another party" Replied Zack with no emotion
"What's wrong with a party" Asked Pip
"Remember what happened last time" Answered Zack
"So what? It's not like that's going to happen again"
"You never know"
"For god's sake Zack, it's just a dance." Said Laura
"Well I don't care, I won't be going" Replied Zack
"Oh Really? I guess you won't be able to enjoy of the marvellous food that would be set out for everyone to eat. I'm sure there will be loads of cakes, loads of crisps, loads of everything. It'll be just like a feast." Smiled Charlotte, grinning. She looked around at all her friends trying not to laugh
"Oh Come on Zack we'll go all together" Said Tom "It'll be great fun"
"Yeah Tom's right, if we go together the dance will be fun. It's not like it's going to be like last time" Said Pixie
"Yeah" Smiled Emily
"So are we going to Hogsmead?" Asked Laura
"Yeah but I'm going to go to the owlery first and then I'll go with you guys" Said Charlotte
"We'll go together, we all might have post" Smiled Emily
"Sounds like a plan, but we might want to get changed first" Said Kieran, looking down at his clothes
"Yeah I think your right about that" Replied Pip, agreeing with Kieran.
"Alright we'll meet in the entrance in half an hour and then we'll go to the owlery and then to Hogsmead" Said Zack,
"Alright see you in half an hour" Smiled Laura, who took hold of Charlotte's hand and dragged her up to their common room.
Everyone met in the entrance like they said they would. They made their way to the owlery and found out that they all had a letter from their parents.
"Okay this is weird" Whispered Pip, looking at everyone as they picked up a letter from their owls. The slowly opened the letter and read them
"This is so unfair, I was looking forward to this holiday but no!" Complained Charlotte
"Let me guess, you mum and dad decided to just want a Christmas holiday without you!" Said Josh
"No, my mum and dad are going on holiday to Spain with Uncle Harry, Uncle Ron, Uncle Bill, Aunt Ginny, Aunt Mione and Aunt Fleur" Said Charlotte
"And grandma and Grandpa are going to visit Uncle Charlie in Romania, so we can't go there" Said Laura
"So you're staying her for Christmas" Asked Colin
"I guess so" Answered Zack
"Cool, at least you'll be with your friends then, Hey Em...Tom what about you guys?" Asked Pixie
"Well my father said he didn't want me home for some reason" Shrugged Emily
"And my father and mother are on a business trip and won't be back until after Christmas, say how much they love me doesn't it" Said Tom "Anyway let's just go and get our outfits for the dance in two days time"
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that" Whispered Laura
"Come on lets go" Smiled Rupert, starting to walk out of the owlery
"Alright, wait for us" Smiled Pixie, running after Rupert
Two days later, it was the dance. The girls again were getting ready together in the Ravenclaw common house with some of the Ravenclaw girls in their year. The Boys happened to be down in the dungeons getting ready. Kieran decided to get changed somewhere else, he didn't want to change with the boys and decided to go the boys' toilets which was on one of the floors.
The boys stood at the bottom of the grand stairs waiting for the girls, all the boys had the same outfit which was funny. They all were wearing a black tux, they didn't wear a tie instead they had a shirt which showed which house they were in. Zack, Colin and Rupert were a scarlet red long sleeve shirt. Pixie wore a yellow one, people laughed at him but he didn't care they all agreed on this and he wasn't going to change it now. Josh and Tom wore a green shirt. Josh was wearing a mask and so was Tom.
"What are you wearing?" Asked Zack
"A mask" Answered Josh
"Why?"
"Come on, McGonagall said it was a Masquerade party which involves masks, come on it would be fun and you never know you might find your true love" Said Josh
"He's right you know, you never know"
"They are taking forever, how about we go and wait inside" Said Rupert
"What about Kieran, he hasn't arrived quite yet" Colin said looking around for him
"He'll find us" Smiled Josh "Now come on" He grabbed Colin's arm and dragged him into the hall.
"You ready girls?" Asked Pip, linking arms with Charlotte who was linking arms with Emily.
"Yes of course" Smiled Laura who linked her arm with Laura. On the right stood Pip then next to her was Charlotte, Emily was next to her and on the last hand side stood Laura, they started walking out of the moving staircase and they finally made their way to the bottom, they stood there waiting for the boys like they said they would.
"I wonder what the boys will think of our dresses" Said Emily who had a green mask which went with her dress.
"I hope so, did I tell you guys I love our dresses" Smiled Pip, looking at all of them
"Some how I wish Grandpa was here with his muggle camera" Sighed Charlotte
"It would make a nice picture"
"Is it me or is it smoking in here, no it must be us then" Smiled Kieran as he appeared from the staircase behind them.
"Wow, Kieran you look hot" Smiled Laura
"I can say the same about you girls. But I think the word I'd been looking for is sexy" Smiled Kieran
"Kiki, you're the one who looks Sexy" Smiled Emily

"No you guys are" Kieran was wearing a black blazer with a white shirt where his sleeves had been rolled up to his elbows. He had a pink tied hanging loosely, he also had black trousers just like all the other guys at the dance. And in his hand was a mask is was black and white and shaped as the right handed ying and yang symbol.
"hoping to find your one true love here, tonight?" Asked Charlotte
"Yeah, you?" Answered Kieran
"No, but Emily is"
"Thanks Guy"
"You guys ready to go inside?" Asked Laura
"Let's do it" Answered Pip; the five of them walked into the hall and started smiling.
Meanwhile with the boys. They were sat a table waiting for Kieran and the girls to arrive.
"Where are they?" Asked Tom
"They should be here by now" Said Zack
"Hey Guys" Smiled Charlotte who was walking over with Pip and Laura
"Hey Girls, where's Emily and Kiki?" Asked Rupert
"On the dance floor" Answered Laura "Where's Josh and Tom"
"On the dance floor" Answered Colin
"The hall looks amazing, yet again" Smiled Charlotte
"But this time we didn't help out at all, did we?" Said Pip
"Sadly we didn't" Replied Laura
Kieran's Pov
I stood in the middle of the dance floor with one of my best friends, Emily Malfoy. We were rocking out like there was no tomorrow...well that was until these two boys came over to us, the pair of them looked familiar but I couldn't think who they looked like, my mind went completely blank. WHY? WHY NOW GOD! The guy on the left side had blonde hair, he was wearing a mask like his friend and me and Emily. The guy on the right had dark brown hair, he had a smile which could kill if he wanted to, and he made me feel like my legs were melting. Could this be the guy I've been looking for? I wanted to know who he was and I wanted to be with him forever.
"Hi do you wanna dance" Asked the blonde hair guy to Emily; Emily smiled and took his hand
"I'd like that, so who are you?" She asked
"I'm not telling you, you'll have to find out at midnight" Smirked the blonde. That smirk looks familiar but where have I seen it from. Anyway they walked away to another part of the dance floor. Which left me and the mystery brown haired guy, god I wish I knew who he was?
"Hi, so you want to go and dance?" He asked
"Um...are you?"
"Gay?" I looked at him and nodded "Yeah I am, I haven't known for very long. At least my mother and father don't have to worry"
"You don't live with your mother and father?"
"Yeah, my mother and father were murdered when I was really young. I was put into a care home for wizards. I live with a lot of over wizards."
"That must be cool!" I smiled
"It can be sometimes but other times it's annoying, people always touch your stuff, nothing is ever safe"
"I'm sorry to hear about that, so would you like to go and dance?" I asked, trying to move off the subject
"Sure, hey this is one of my favourite songs" He grabbed my hand and started dancing, once he had done that, I felt like I was in heaven. I can't wait to find out who he is!
-END OF POV-
Everyone was having fun, the girls actually got the boy to go to the dance floor with them and dance which was a big task. In the end they went back to their table, the reason was because Zack was bored and hungry. No one ever saw Josh, Tom, Kieran or Emily at all that evening. The clock was ten minutes away from being midnight. Charlotte was there searching the crowd for Kieran and Emily seeing if she could find them.
"Found them" Smiled Charlotte
"Where?" Asked Rupert
"Well there's Kieran dancing with a brown haired guy...okay make that kissing the brown haired guy and over there is Emily...she's in the green dress dancing with the blonde haired boy, who seems to actually like her. Not like Tom who does nothing."
"Um Char?" Asked Zack
"Yeah?" She answered
"That's Josh kissing Kieran and that's Tom dancing with Emily" Said Colin
"Oh" Replied Charlotte
"Awe, that's so cute" Smiled Laura and Pip
"You are right it's so cute, they all have found each other." Charlotte smiled along with them
"We just need to find boyfriends" Smiled Pip
"Who do you have in mind?" Asked Laura
"Jason Finnigan"
"EW!" Shouted Charlotte
"What's wrong with him?" Asked Pip
"He's a scary stalker!" Answered Charlotte
"She's right about that" Confirmed Laura
"Who's stalking you?" Asked the boys all at once
Everyone who had a mask took them off once the school bells started going. Kieran closed his eyes waiting to find out who his mystery guy was, he slowly opened them and looked at him shocked, he couldn't believe it.
"Josh?"
"KIERAN?"
"Oh dear" They both muttered. They looked at each other not believing any of this they thought it was a joke they couldn't be right for each other could they? Emily done the same thing and looked at her knight in shining armour.
"Tom?"
"Emily!" Smiled Tom
"What are you doing?"
"I was dancing with you!"
"But...But...But" Emily kept going on trying to find an excuse but she couldn't think of anything
"Emily I love you" Tom leaned in and kissed her on the lips, he pulled away and smiled at Emily; she giggled and smiled back at Tom
"I love you too"
