Promises, Prom-Misses
Part II The Prom"Am I prom ready?" Hermione asked Ginny, placing her hands on her hips and striking a model-esque pose . An emerald green mermaid gown adorned her slim, curvy body, and sparkles flickering around her stomach and ankles.
"Don't you think that dress is a little too sexy for your date? Dennis," Ginny asked, brushing her long wavy locks. She was wearing a floral baby doll dress in lots of different colors of the sunset.
"Dennis is very…mature for his age."
"Oh, yeah. I hear his bedtime got moved up to eight fifteen!" Hermione growled, glaring at her friend. "Besides, it's Slytherin green."
"You're the one who convinced me to get it!" Ginny sighed, realizing the truth. They strolled down to the common room where Dean was waiting for Ginny with a corsage.
"Hey, hot stuff, ready to go?" Ginny nodded and they began to walk to their carriage, waiting to take them to the Three Broomsticks for dinner.
"Bye, Hermione," Hermione said sarcastically at their backs. Ginny swiveled around and stuck out her tongue at her brunette friend. Scrawny little Dennis Creevy scurried up to his 'date' and handed her a green piece of paper with a one on it.
"I know I was supposed to bring you a flower thingy, but I forgot. So here," he said, his voice squeaking. Hermione wrinkled her nose in disgust.
"Wow, an American dollar. Be ready in a sec." She set the dollar on a table, and adjusted her strapless bra before following him out to his 'ride', as he called it. Turns out, his 'ride' is a small Muggle bicycle. He plopped a green helmet onto her curls and they rode off in style.
Cho Chang got herself a glass of water and sat down to read in the student lounge, where people were starting to meet up with their dates. She sighed and opened up Twilight. At least Bella had found her true love, Edward, even though Cedric had died about four years ago. Or so everyone thought…
Draco knocked awkwardly on the 7th year girl's dorm room, waiting for Pansy. She flung open the door, and struck a pose which she considered 'sexy' and Draco considered creepy and stalker-ish.
"Draco Malfoy, prepare for the most wonderful evening of your life," she drawled cattily, shoving a package into his hands which he promptly discarded onto the floor. Her dress was pink, with a yellow flower on the bust, and a pink and yellow ruffled skirt that made it look like she was drowning in the puke of a cannibalistic duck. With a groan, he held out his arm, which she accepted, pulling him along behind her at an immense speed.
As Hermione and Dennis rode up, she flew off, landing sprawled on the floor. Dennis laughed.
"You fell off," he taunted. Hermione gave him a sarcastic smile as she stood up and threw the helmet down. Ron pulled up on his Nimbusstick, Luna hanging tight to his middle. She wore a white chiffon dress with a scoop neck, elaborate silver beading at the top and a layered skirt tied at the waist with a silver sash. Her long blonde curls were twisted into a bun fastened with a matching headband. It was so Luna. They dismounted and went to stand with Hermione and Dennis.
"Hey guys, did you see Hermione fall off my bike?" the smaller boy asked, as he and Ron laughed. Luna gave Hermione a sympathetic look, though she wasn't quite sure why Dennis and Hermione were going together anyway. Hermione was getting ticked off, and grasped her date's elbo, sliding her thumb across the inside, and causing him to pass out on the sidewalk.
"Let's go dance," she said as she stepped over his limp form, her heels clicking on the pavement. Ron shrugged, wrapping an arm around Luna and they followed her, laughing.
"Ron, Hermione, Luna!" Pansy exclaimed, as she and Draco approached the three. Hermione grabbed his elbow and pulled him behind a bush as Pansy small talked with Ron and Luna.
"Why'd you have to make me go with Dennis?" Hermione wailed quietly.
"Oh, and I'm having a blast with Pansy. Look, I promise, some time tonight, we'll find a way to sneak off and be together," he replied, giving her a smile. She bit her lip and smiled back.
"I like you."
"DRAAAKIE! What are you doing?"Pansy squawked, coming up next to him.
"I was just telling Hermione how much I don't like her," he said blatantly, motioning toward the brunette girl in front of him.
"Yes, you're such a jerk," Hermione stated dryly, as Draco held out his arm for Pansy.
"Let's go, Parkinson." His face showed utter disgust as he led her to the dance floor.
"Sure thing, Malfoy," the blonde giggled, following him like a lost puppy. Dennis ran up to her, and panted for a while.
"What happened back there? I woke up on the ground and Filch was trying to steal my wallet," he complained, indicating the brown square in his hands.
"Wah," she growled unsympathetically, walking away for the gathering of students. Ron jumped onto the stage with the Weird Sisters, grasping the microphone.
"My sister Ginny was supposed to kick off this prom, but she's a little late. So get ready to prom it uuuup!" he shouted happily, as everyone cheered, Hermione and Draco a little bit forcefully. The Sisters began to play a fast tune, called Sisters Squabbling 'Till We're Sick. Not one of their best tunes, but everyone danced anyway. Draco and Hermione glanced longingly at each other, but then Pansy spun him around with great gusto. He groaned inwardly, wanting desperately for the night to end.
"You want me to get a job? You want me to go to University? Fine. I won't be a carriage driver anymore. Nope, here go the keys!" the fat driver belted into his cell phone, and threw the keys into the nearest woods. Ginny glanced into Dean's eyes, and freaked out, squealing and unbuckling herself. They got out of the carriage, and looked at the man walking away from them.
"Hey, buddy, will you come back here please?" Dean shouted after him. The guy turned around, a menacing look on his face, as he threw his cherry lollipop to the ground (not before sniffing it).
"No, I gotta go sign up for class," the man spat, apparating angrily. Dean searched the woods, but all he found was an old guitar, which he flung behind him in fury.
"So, I'm guessing you didn't find the keys?" Ginny sighed. Dean shook his head. "Well, I guess we better run." They booked it down the road, completely lost but just wanting to get out of there.
The people at prom danced for an hour, and had a good time. Well, most of them, anyway. Ron was showing Collin Creevy his broom while Luna was getting punch behind the stage with some Ravenclaws gossiping about homework and other such smart stuff.
"You smell so good, like cinnamon sticks," Pansy commented, snuggling into Draco's shirt as they slow danced. He looked confused before replying.
"Uh, thanks."
"Let's see if your lips taste like cinnamon sticks!" Pansy came at him with great gusto, forcing her slobbery, scaly, chapped lips to his perfectly groomed moist ones. He groaned angrily and shoved her off of him.
"I don't wanna kiss you!" her face crumbled into a frown, as his lips started to sweat a little. He wiped her spit with his sleeve.
"Why not? My lips are moist!"
"Because I love Hermione!" Everyone stopped dancing, and the band stopped playing, obviously sensing something was wrong. The girl in question threw down the chess pieces from where she stood about three meters away, playing Wizard's Chess with Dennis, and stood up awkwardly with a small smile. She fumbled with her dress.
"Dude, you love Hermione?" some smart alek snorted, laughing silently into his hand. Draco looked around, and then nodded.
"Yeah, that's right. I LOVE HERMIONE GRANGER!" Hermione looked stunned for a moment as eveyone's eyes trailed on her, and then she shouted "AND I LOVE DRACO MALFOY!" They stared; smiling at each other, and then began to run at each other, meeting in a kiss unlike no other they'd had before.
"You used me?" Dennis scoffed, angrily stomping away.
Prom goers were shocked, until the Sisters played another number, Kiss Me with A Polaroid Picture to Put in the Daily Prophet. They had the strangest songs.
"Stir the tuna. Stomp the grapes," Ron ordered Collin, who was getting angry.
"Why do you keep saying that?" Collin asked, frustrated. Ron just giggled. Collin was losing control of the broom, and he hit a rogue Pansy Parkinson, all teary eyed because no one loved her.
"Aw, man! You hit Pansy!" Collin and Ron ran up to her, and she hugged Collin, her head spinning. Collin definitely didn't mind.
Cedric Diggory spent the past four years captive in Azkaban. He finally was released and found out that Hogwarts' prom was tonight. He apparated into Hogsmeade and made his was to Hogwarts. Wanting to surprise Cho, he waited in the student lounge for her. But she walked in after five minutes waiting, adorned with a Muggle vampire romance novel called New Moon.
"Cedric!" she yelled, the book long since forgotten on the floor. She sprinted over to him, and threw her arms around his neck, kissing him senseless.
"Doesn't Hogwarts still have a half hour of prom left?" he asked, and they went to go dance. Pretty much everybody danced in a big group, to a fast song. They spent the remaining minutes together, dancing till they dropped.
Yay! Two people figured out that this is from Zoey 101. Which I don't own. Also I don't own Harry Potter. And, today's my birthday, so reviews would be the bestest present of all!
Grey Eyed!
