Chapter 10-Prepare for the Yule ball
As the weeks that led up to Christmas; Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione were blitzing threw their Duel Academy studies and advancing threw magical studies with Jayden. Harry had mastered his 7 animagus forms: Lion, wolf, stag, cheetah, dog, a phoenix-thunderhawk and dragon, elemental titans: Snake (earth), panther (shadow-matter) and owl (time-space) and could pass his school subjects. The same could be said for Ginny and Hermione but Ron struggled to get in the mood, though he did understand the material.
One training session which was watched by Alexis, her girl friends, Hassleberry, Cyrus, Chazz and Bastion, (A/N they'd found out about them been wizards and witches after duel) had been interrupted by Isis bearing a letter from Dumbledore that read:
[Dear Mr. Potter and company,
As you remember Hogwarts is hosting the event of the Triwizard Tournament and said event has a tradition of the Yule Ball- a dance held on Christmas Eve. As such I would like to invite you and your friends to participate in the event.
The event is formal so dress robes are required, if you decide to take my offer, please send your reply and seat count to me.
Thank you,
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore]
After reading the letter out loud to everyone, he looked up to see 5 overly excited girls, 1 other enthusiastic boy (Jayden) and 5 groaning and moaning boys. After the shock pass threw him, Harry turned to his girlfriend and asked, "Ginny, will you do me the honor of been my date?" upon hearing the invite, Ginny launched into Harry arms, chanting, "Yes! Yes! Yes!" before kissing him soundly on the lips and once they'd finished Harry noticed Jayden getting the same treatment form Alexis.
As it was the last session of magical training and Duel Academy was already on Holiday, Dumbledores response sent threw and then they made plans to ready Potter Mansion for Christmas and notifying the Weasley that they'd be home for the rest of the holidays.
Portkeying into the entrance hall, Harry took in his surrounds: the walls were white, with lions, griffins and phoenixes in a gold shield with a scarlet letter 'P' ordained to each muggle light fixture (this place is a mix of magic and muggle), large cherry wood doors with bronze handles shaped like lion heads and an assortment of weapons and armor. After a moment Harry advanced to the wooden doors, grasped the handle and flooded his magic into the lock until it clicked, opening the doors to reveal a sitting room decorated in Gryffindor and Ravenclaw colors.
10 hours later Harry made it to the master bedroom which had: a redwood and oak king sized bed, a large muggle study area with an oversized bookshelf and a giant walk-in wardrobe. Harry then walks into the wardrobe to see: long racks of casual everyday robes, racks of formal dress robes, Auror battle robes and top of the line muggle fashion wear (somehow it wardrobe updates itself) all in both male and female styles and colors, "Looks like we don't need to shop for robes," mused Harry.
After Harry found and prepared the guest wing for his friends, he returned to Duel Academy in a stroke of thunder.
On the 20th of December, Harry returned with the others, showed them to their rooms, before letting the girls lose in his wardrobe. 1 hour later the girls showed off the choices for the ball to the boys, Ginny was first the show off: She was wearing emerald green flowing gown styled robes that hugged her developing figure, along with matching high heeled formal sandals and a gold sash, Alexis' was next off: she was wearing a burnt gold strapless dress styled gown with a scarlet sash and matching high heels, Hermione came in 2nd: wearing a periwinkle blue muggle styles ball gown with a silver lace sash and matching high heels, Jasmine was the third: wearing a silver muggle style ball gown with a black sash and matching heels and Mindy the last: wearing pale blue muggle style robes with a navy blue sash and matching heels. They were all wearing matching complimentary jewelry and seeing as Jayden was Alexis' date and Harry Ginnys and Ron was Hermiones; the men decided to wear matching male dress robes.
