Chapter seven- To Safety… Maybe- Draco
It was about two weeks later and the day of the ball. Hermione, Ginny, Luna, Pansy, and Lavender were running around putting last minute touches together. They had shut the doors to the Great Hall and locked everyone out of the room. Meanwhile the guys were getting their outfits together. All the students buzzed with excitement at the ball. Classes had been canceled on the Friday before to this distaste to several of the teachers. Snape was mad because he couldn't give his essay, but nobody cared.
Ron, Draco, Pansy, Blaise, Luna, Neville, Ginny, Dean, Seamus and Hermione gathered in the center of the Great Hall to see their work a little while before the party. Hermione wore a long purple dress and had a silver piece in her blonde hair that was braided over her shoulder. Ginny and Luna wore matching blue dresses that barely reached the floor. Their hair fell loosely down their backs in waves. Pansy was wearing a puffy, strapless, lilac dress. The boys were all wearing black tuxes. "It looks amazing," said Ginny looking around the room.
"I like your dress," Luna told Pansy.
"Thanks," said Pansy. "I like yours also."
"Hermione didn't you wear that dress to the Yule bar," asked Blaise and everyone turned to see her walking into the Great Hall.
"Yeah. I can still fit in it, so I decided to wear it."
"You look sexy babe," whispered Dean into Seamus' ear. Seamus smirked and kissed his cheek.
"I like what you did with the lights," Neville told Ginny.
"Thanks, I think the plants give it more of an outdoor feel. So, I think that it will be a hit."
"Guys," said Ron snapping his fingers, interrupting the conversations. "Focus, If anything happens we need to meet on the dais."
"What do you mean?" asked Ginny.
"We got a letter from Harry," said Ron.
"You heard from him," said Ginny excitedly.
"Ginny, you do know that he doesn't like you like that," said Dean. Seamus laid a hand on his shoulder. Ginny glared at Dean who didn't stand down.
"What did he say," asked Neville interrupting their argument.
"He said that he had a vision of shorts," said Hermione. "He saw all of us lying dead at the feet of Voldemort." Pansy, Ginny, and Seamus looked surprised.
"He wouldn't turn on us Slytherins," said Pansy. "Would he?" She looked worried as did Blaise.
"Well I'm not going to leave the others," said Hermione.
"I'm not going to leave my sister, not when I just found her," said Blaise.
"We aren't leaving you guys either," said Pansy gulping. "You guys are cooler than I thought you would be." Just then a loud rumble shook the great hall causing them to stumble. Pansy screamed, and glasses fell off the house tables and shattered.
"Bombarda," screamed Ginny as a chandelier fell towards them blasting it apart.
"All students to their dormitories immediately," said McGonagall over the speaker.
"We need to get to the room of requirement," said Hermione. She kicked off her heals and ran off with the others behind her. All of the girls held their dresses up as they ran along. Just then a pair of Death Eaters started up the stairs. "Descendo," said Hermione and a banister fell on top of the two crushing them. The paintings were scrambling and many were fleeing to other painting that they had while some were forced to run through paintings in the castle looking for refuge.
"And I thought that getting punched by you was bad enough," muttered Draco. Hermione punched him lightly
"We need to slow them down," said Ginny. "Ron, Dean, Seamus, Neville, and myself will slow them down. Pansy, Blaise, Hermione, Draco, Luna. Get the students out to safety." Everyone nodded, and they split up.
"Why did Potter have to be right this time," muttered Draco as they ran up the stairs. "Stupefy." A Death Eater dropped like a bag of rocks. Below them they heard screams and spells blasting into things.
"You guys go on," said Hermione. "If they get past the others then I'll be the last line of defense. Draco, if we don't make it to the room of requirement by the time that all students are out you need to take the others to someplace safe. If I can get to the others, then I can get us out to safety."
"Morgana, I can't let you stay," said Blaise.
"Blaise, you're my bother and somehow I've always knew that, but I care about this school and about you so do as I ask and go. Luna, you can convince the others to get to safety. Do your best." She hugged all of them before stepping back. "Go now." They went up the next staircase and Hermione destroyed the staircase between them. She smiled at them before turning around and walking back down the staircase. They took one last look at her before running off.
"She will be fine Blaise," said Draco. "Luna, you are probably the only one that can get all of the students here." He thought about there being passages directly into the other houses common rooms if only temporarily. Then a woman appeared before them.
"I am the spirt of Hogwarts. My name is Delphi. I heard your request and I grant it. I normally wouldn't permit it, but the kids need to get out of here. I will do what I can to help the others." She vanished into a cloud of smoke.
"Who was that?" asked Pansy.
"The spirit of Hogwarts," said Luna. "You've never heard of her?"
"Focus Luna," said Draco. "We are going to Hufflepuff first they are closest to the fighting." The pair of them ran down the passage leaving Pansy and Blaise in the room to guard it.
After all the students had finally been evacuated and the teachers knew that they could flee to safety of their own, Draco, Luna, Pansy, and Blaise collapsed in exhaustion. "We need to leave now," said Luna.
"But Hermione and the others..." started Pansy.
"They would want for some of us to get out."
"I know where you need to go," said Delphi appearing again. Luna bowed but Delphi waved her off. "Southern Ireland. The Dark Lord can't get you there."
"But the others?" said Blaise.
"Hermione has a way for them all to get out," said Draco.
"She is already with them," said Delphi. "They are on the dais in the Great Hall right now. If you go you may still have time to reach them." Draco looked at the other two before making a decision.
"You two go, I'm going to stay."
"No, Draco," said Pansy. Her dress rustled as she stepped forward. "You need to go. It's not safe."
"Pansy. I'll be fine. Hermione has a way for us to get out."
"Then we will go with you," said Blaise. "After all, three wands are better than one."
"I can't talk you out of going, can I?"
"NO!" said Blaise and Pansy.
"Guess we are in agreement then," said Luna.
"Lady Delphi can you give us a passage to the Great Hall." Delphi smiled and the floor beneath them vanished. They fell Pansy screaming into darkness.

Harry isn't trans-gender. He is able to have children through his magic. It will be explained more later on why he is able to have children while many other wizards do not.
