It all started with...
Chapter 9
A Dance
Draco struggled with his white cotton jabot with 3 tiers of lace. He had chosen to wear a fully-lined green brocade vest, and a fully-lined green velvet coat with silver metallic trim. It gave him a powerful allure, he combed his hair back and tied a plain black mask on. He rubbed his chin in satisfaction when he saw himself in the mirror.
He glanced at Blaise and every male in the common room, they looked smart with their strange outfits but Draco was amazed at how well he looked. And I'm the most lucky guy here!
--
Ginny took a deep breath as she caught sight of herself in the mirror, she had chosen blue floral colour. The silk charmeuse under gown has a collar and three tiered sleeves. The corseted over gown was made of blue brocade and it laced up the back. The over gown was open up the front to the mid thigh. Both pieces are fully lined and trimmed with antique gold silk dupioni. Hermione tied her mask for her, she had a normal soft blue mask trimmed with a few small white ostrich feathers and a few sequins.
"Harry will die and go to heaven when he sees you." Hermione teased fastening the white silk bow at the back.
"And your date will faint when he sees who he's with!" Hermione blushed and re-examined her outfit. She had had it specially made; she had chosen an off-the-shoulder gown made of white satin. The shirred over skirt is trimmed with white and faded pink rosettes. This gown was fully lined, worn over by soft crinoline, and laced up the back. She had seen it once in Hogsmeade and thanks to Ginny she bought it. She had a sequined mask that was tied back with some silk string.
"Thank you..." Hermione said lifting up the soft material to twirl it round. She glanced over to where Pansy was getting ready. Hermione noticed that her teeth were back to normal and so was her face. Hermione noted what she had chosen to wear, she had chosen a fully lined over gown made of emerald green silk dupioni. It was spiral laced up the front and the eyelets had been over sewn with floss. The sleeves were snug up to the elbows then dropped to a long, graceful point. There were trimmings around the neck, the upper sleeve and the sleeve edge. It had straight sleeves, a round neckline with no closures. Her mask was a tie on made of green and black, she looked like someone of the night rather than a bully.
--
Harry decided that after tonight he'd never wear anything like this again. Ginny had bought it for him, in a way he wondered if she was making an inside joke, he was famous and the outfit she had chosen had once belonged to a famous Tudor king, yes he knew the British royal family tree, he had been to a muggle school. Whenever he and Ginny were alone he tell her what a muggle school was like and what they studied sometimes, funny she'd remembered a psychotic famous king.
He was wearing a white linen shirt with gold embroidered, pleated edge collar and cuffs, white brocade slashed doublet edged with gold and caught with jewels worn under a matching jerkin. He refused to wear the large coat it looked ridicules and it would make him stand out more. He glanced over to his best friend, he was trembling with nerves, the last ball he had gone to he had worn dress robes that were ancient.
"Harry, are you sure I look ok? I don't want Lavender to go off me when I wear this!" He said tugging his clothes.
"Yes Ron I think you look great." Harry replied tying on his black mask. Ron re-examined himself. It was a black cotton shirt with wide lace-up cuffs, floral brocade slashed doublet and pants lined with velveteen and edged with silver and finished with silver trimmed velveteen for the collar, leg bands, and shoulder rolls. The doublet laced up the front, the whole ensemble was topped off with a velveteen flat hat and plume. He wore a jet black mask; which Harry thought made him looked more like a robber than a lord.
"Hey guys!" They turned to see Neville coming towards him, they were slightly shocked, Neville looked like he had transformed into someone that wasn't Neville Longbottom, he looked like someone else, he had chosen a beige linen shirt with a silk grey cravat, brocade vest with standing collar, and a long coat with wide lapels and a fold-over collar. "Do I look ok? I'm taking Luna."
"Neville we can hardly recognise you!" Harry said making Neville smile shyly.
"Have you seen what Seamus is wearing? He hardly looks like himself! Oh the unmasking is at midnight! McGonagall had just told us." Ron nodded and joined the others down in the common room; they had to wait for a signal that would allow them to leave.
--
"Hey guys!" Luna said rushing to them. She looked like fairy princess the way her light blonde hair went with her purple gown, it was a three-piece ensemble featuring an amethyst bengaline under skirt of, two tiers of embroidered chiffon over skirt, topped with a matching bodice with embroidery and silver trimming. She had a carnival mask that had gold studs on. "You look great, but be careful of Narguls! They might hover near your dresses and ruin them!" Ginny and Hermione glanced quickly at each but said nothing of it they were used to Luna's odd remarks.
"Oh look at Ron's date, Lavender!" Ginny pointed to the faired haired girl who was pacing around the room, She was wearing a blue bengaline 18th century gown features a corset, panniers, bodice and skirt with brocade inset and matching underskirt, all trimmed with ribboned lace.
"Oh Ron! Do you think he'll like it? Oh my I feel faint! I'll faint when I see him!" She whimpered, Hermione watched as Ron's girlfriend paced the floor asking herself questions that nobody bothered to answer.
"Now when I open these doors you shall descend into the hallway to meet your escort for the evening, then at the stroke of midnight you shall unmask yourself." Professor McGonagall said loudly as she opened the large wooden door. One by one girls in the most hilarious outfits descended the large stairs, she felt herself blush at the mass number of boys staring at them.
She was amazed at the scenery, it looked like she was back at the Yule Ball again, it looked like they were in an ice palace, the floor looked like ice but it was easy to walk on, instead of the long candle chandeliers there were long icicles with a soft glow coming from inside. There was a huge Christmas tree covered with silver ornaments, around the large dance floor were tables that had different ice sculptures designing their house. A large snake, lion etc...High up on the ceiling looked like it was snowing. Around the doors were large bouquets of holly and ivy. It all looked very enchanting.
Everyone jumped up and down with excitement at the fact that the Weird Sisters were playing. She had arranged to meet her date in the middle of the dance floor but before she could even attempt to do that she was asked dances from sixth year to seventh year. "GET READY TO PART-TEY!" Myron Wagtail roared into the microphone, everyone grabbed a dance partner regardless if it was their date. Hermione was snatched up by some seventh year as the dance began.
She says she's no good with words but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out
"A joke of a romantic" or stuck to my tongue
Weighed down with words too over-dramatic
Tonight it's "it can't get much worse"
Vs. "no one should ever feel like.."
Hermione felt like she was doing the jive her dancing partner twirled her up in the air, dipped her so low she could touch the floor and at one point lifted her up and flipped her over.
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by
Hermione looked around and noticed that Luna was dancing with some guy quiet not accustomed to her, he was trying to lead but then again so was Luna.
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me
Draco looked out for Hermione as he twirled some girl in a blue dress he caught sight of a dress that Hermione had mentioned she'd be wearing but then again so were millions of other bloody girls.
You always fold just before you're found out
Drink up its last call
Last resort
But only the first mistake and I...
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by
Ginny was happy she knew who she was dancing with, she had chosen Harry's outfit so she was happy, the only problem was that he didn't have a clue how to dance. Ginny had to lead but Harry was just hopeless, he could waltz but that was it.
Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress, love
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me
Ron was the picture of unhappiness, he wasn't dancing with his girlfriend but more like Draco's girlfriend, Pansy, and luckily for him he didn't look recognisable.
Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress (mattress, mattress)
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me
Neville kept an eye out for Luna, he really liked the eccentric girl, she was different from every other girl.
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance
Everyone applauded loudly. Hermione dodged her dance partner and made her way to the middle where she was supposed to meet her date. "My fair Lady!" Hermione turned round to see another eager dance partner. "Shall we dance?" Before Hermione could object she was pulled into his arms as the next song began.
Jai Ho!
"Help!" She whispered looking upwards for help.
I got shivers when you touch my face
I'll make you hot, get all you got
I'll make you wanna say
(Jai Ho! Jai Ho!)
I got fever running like a fire
For you I will go all the way
I'm gonna take you higher
(Jai Ho)
I'll keep it steady, cause steady is how I do it
(Jai ho!)
This beat it heavy, so heavy you're gonna feel it
Hermione spun around feeling dizzy and quite lost, she made sure her dance partner dance around the middle, she looked for Luna and found her with Neville. Before she could react her dance partner twirled her.
(Jai Ho!)
You are the reason that I breath
(Jai Ho!)
You're the reason that I still believe
(Jai Ho!)
You are my destiny
Jai ho! Oh, oh, oh, oh
(Jai Ho!)
No, there is nothing that can stop us
(Jai Ho!)
Nothing can ever come between us
(Jai Ho!)
So come and dance with me
Jai ho! Oh
You and me, its destiny
Draco felt himself entangled with some blonde haired bimbo who claimed he was her Won-Won. He assumed it was Weasley's girlfriend and felt sorry for him. He scanned the middle f the dance floor, he noticed some poor girl dancing with Blaise, he eyed her, she was keeping her steps to the middle even if Blaise wanted to move her like he moved his wand, up and down, side to side.
Catch me, catch me, catch me
C'mon, catch me, I want you now
I know you can save me
You can save me, I need you now
I am yours forever, yes forever
I will follow
Anyway, and anywhere
Never gonna let go
(Jai Ho!)
I need you, gonna make it
I'm ready, so take it
Ginny had refused to change partners, Harry hadn't objected after all Ginny was his girlfriends. When he pulled her close he whispered. "You are my destiny!" She giggled and kissed him on the cheek.
Jai Ho!)
You are the reason that I breath
(Jai Ho!)
You're the reason that I still believe
(Jai Ho!)
You are my destiny
Jai ho! Oh, oh, oh, oh
(Jai Ho!)
No, there is nothing that can stop us
(Jai Ho!)
Nothing can ever come between us
(Jai Ho!)
So come and dance with me
Jai ho! Oh
You and me, its destiny
Luna felt herself fly when Neville twirled her round. She really liked Neville he didn't judge her or tease her, he liked her and she like him. The eccentric and the nervous guy.
(Jai Ho!)
Baila! Baila!
(Jai Ho!)
Baila! Baila!
(Jai Ho!)
Baila! Baila!
(Jai Ho! Jai Ho!)
Once again everyone applauded, Hermione excused herself to get a drink, Draco noticed this and followed her, he took a deep breath as he approached her. "Miss Granger." She turned round and he noticed that she was hiding the fact that she was over the moon. "Shall we dance?"
"Are...you M?" Draco nodded. He was glad he had pulled his long blond hair back. "Then you may." He smiled as he took her hand.
Well you must be a girl with shoes like that
She said you know me well
I seen you and little Steven and Joanna
Round the back of my hotel oh yeah
Hermione stared at M, he was charming and tall like he had said, she tried to glance at his eyes to see what colour they were but he kept himself discreet by looking quickly at her then around the place.
Someone said you was asking after me
But I know you best as a blagger
I said tell me your name is it sweet?
She said my boy it's dagger oh yeah
Ron had the misfortune of dancing with another Slytherin girl, funny how no one recognised him. He noticed Harry and Ginny wandering off outside. "Lucky guy." He muttered.
I was good she was hot
Stealin' everything she got
I was bold she was over the worst of it
Gave me gear thank you dear bring yer sister over here
Let her dance with me just for the hell of it
Luna was sure she was dancing with a werewolf, when dad had taken her abroad to Romania he had shown her everything that distinguished a werewolf. She hadn't realised she was in fact dancing with Cormac, who enjoyed to insult her.
Well you must be a boy with bones like that
She said you got me wrong
I would've sold them to you
If I could've just have kept the last of my clothes on
Call me up take me down with you
When you go I could be your regular belle
And I'll dance for little Steven and Joanna
Round the back of my hotel oh yeah
Hermione was relieved that M wasn't shooting her up into the air or trying to jive when the song didn't permit it. She felt secure with him and for some strange reason she felt like she knew him.
I was good she was hot
Stealin everything she got
I was bold she was over the worst of it
Gave me gear thank you dear bring yer sister over here
Let her dance with me just for the hell of it
Lavender was calling every dance partner she had Won-Won thinking that Ron would smile and kiss her, all she got were embarrassed looks and the guy practically running away after having a dance with her like the last guy she danced with.
Chelsea Chelsea I believe that when your dancing
Slowly sucking your sleeve
That all the boys get lonely after you leave
And it's one for the Dagger and another for the one you believe
Chelsea I believe that when your dancing
Slowly sucking your sleeve
That all the boys get lonely after you leave
And it's one for the Dagger and another for the one you believe
"We're gonna take a five minute break!" Myron Wagtail shouted. Draco offered his hand to Hermione and led her outside. Even outside it looked enchanted, there were archways covered by soft white lights and at the top there would be mistletoe hanging from it.
There was a large fountain that was over flowing with snow but it never touched the ground, lights were here and there giving it a magical presence. "So...M..." Hermione said nervously. Draco smiled behind his mask. "How old are you?"
"Seventeen in June." Draco replied.
"It's funny on parchment I can write and tell you things I haven't told my best friends yet with you in person I'm tongue tied." The girl confessed.
"What is your favorite animal?" He said as he snapped off some ice from the ceiling ignoring her comment.
"A cat." She blinked in surprise to find the plain block of ice had transformed into an ice cat. She giggled at the sight of it. "Thank you." She said looking up at him, he gave a sliht nod and took her even further into the courtyard and away from the loud music.
