QUICK NOTES FROM YOUR HUMBLE AUTHOR:

I'll let you have the music of your choice, these were some of the song I happened to be listening to at the time. Besides, I wanted a variety rather then your clichés.

Arctic Monkeys-Fake tales of San Francisco, Dancing Shoes, and I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor.

Amy Winehouse- In my Bed.

Timbaland- Bounce

Shakira and Beyonce- Beautiful lie.

These are the songs and a few more, but I'm not going to take up anymore of your time. So read on!

The hall was decorated with floating pumpkins and candles, ghouls and ghost would pass by from above. The walls were decorated with dead bodies, of course, they weren't real, but if people came close enough they would jump and scare them. The school banners were still hanging up with pride. It was an eerie look to the room, but it was perfect since it was Hallowe

It was dinnertime, which only made Charlie impatient, she wasn't hungry, and she was ready to have a good time. Although the food was really replaced by piles of candy, such as candy corn, lollipops, chocolates of all sorts, some candy that was even foreign to her. She didn't seem to mind, after all it was just candy! Charlie just grabbed a lollipop that was cherry flavored; she sucked on it, while she waited for time to pass by. Faye was busy talking about the band that was going to play. Charlie had never heard of them at all, but she didn't mind dancing to something different.

Fred and George glanced at each other as they looked over at the Slytherin table. Fred with his wand under the table murmured something quietly, pointing at the top table of where Ann was sitting. Instantly two delicious pieced of chocolate were placed on her plate. Luckily no one saw what had happened, Fred and George gave a sigh of relief to each other. Together they watched and waited until she ate it.

Ann grabbed the piece of chocolate and popped one in her mouth, Ann wore a shocked look on her face, "Oh my god!" she exclaimed. Her friend asked what was wrong, Ann was lost for words, all she could do was point to the piece of chocolate and she chewed the other piece, "I've never!" she said with enthusiasm, "This is the best chocolate I've ever tasted!" she told her. Quickly she popped the other piece of chocolate in her mouth and chewed it slowly. Savoring the taste.

Fred and George both looked at each other with accomplishment as they continued to eat their candy.

The dance was about to commence, the tables were cleared from the Great Hall, a stage was set for the live band, while everyone was getting anxious to dance. The schoolhouses were separated, while they waited for Professor Dumbledore to start off the dance.

Dumbledore stepped on stage, as the students clapped as he approached the middle. Raising his hand to give his thanks but also for their silence, he started, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I will shortly start the dance before I make a quick announcement." Charlie and Faye looked at each other, "Wonder what's it's about?" Faye said, "It's about your costume. It's derogative and sluttish." Charlie said in cool tone while chuckling. Faye was quick to slap her, "And this coming from a bum? Who dances like a stripper?" she added on. Charlie eyes opened wide while laughing, Faye laughed with her. Charlie scoffed at her, "Well at least I know how to dance." she said to her.

They were talking through the announcement; they didn't know what he was talking about. Charlie and Faye were still laughing at themselves, though they didn't attract any attention from the crowd, they did get a tap on the shoulder by Professor Valence. Charlie and Faye turned around and stopped laughing, "Is there something funny that Dumbledore said, that he needs to know?" Like little Catholic schoolgirls: Charlie and Faye both shook their heads while placing their hands in their back, they apologized for laughing.

Professor Valence took a look at Charlie then at Faye, "I can send you back to your dorm for wearing that!" he told her, Faye's jaw dropped, "Oh please Professor, don't send me back!" she begged to him. Valence just shook his head, "I'm considering it," he told her, while Charlie looked disappointed, "Oh, come on Professor Valence, it's just one night! After that she won't wear the costume." she tried to reason with him, "I'm just saying that you're showing way too much." he said in the same unreasonable tone. Charlie gave a big sigh, "Please Professor! Not tonight! Besides, have you seen Gibbles? She's just as bad!" she was quick to remind him. "That doesn't matter. I'm more worried about you guys. She'll get her own." he gave a cold look to them. Faye looked like she was about to cry, "Please. Just for tonight." she tried to reason with him.

Charlie was getting angry with him, but he was right, she was showing way too much. Charlie decided to take off her suit jacket and place it around Faye's shoulder, "There, she can't show so much if she wears this." telling him, "Now can you let us go? Please. Just this one time and I promise you can give me detention, since it was my fault for her picking it out." asking him nicely. Her big eyes under her glasses were slowly softening him up; she had the look on sincerity and care for her friend, especially for a night that happened once a year.

Professor Valence face went from cold to a congenial look, he smiled at her, "Your mother always knew how to take care of her friends." he told her. He nodded, "Go on! I don't want to see you guys having a bad night." he told them. Charlie and Faye's face quickly lightened up they jumped up and down with joy. Faye quickly gave him a small hug, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" she told him. Charlie's turn, she gave him a big, big hug, "Thank you." she said to him with sincerity. "Just like your mother." her reminded her, "Oh, do me a favor," she pulled away from the hug, "What's that?" asking him, "I don't want any trouble from you, especially with you-know-who!" he said in a serious tone. Charlie just nodded her head, "Not a single thing!" she told him, turning away from him she gave a big smile.

The dance started with an opening of the Waltz, Charlie stayed out of the dance, besides she didn't have a date. She didn't mind, she wasn't very good at the waltz, though she could see that Cedric was very good at it. Ann too, she was an exceptional dancer to the Waltz, though her big wings were giving her a hard time to dance, since her wings were bumping and tugging on the other dancers. Charlie bitterly gave her props for being a good dance at the waltz.

After that Waltz, they had another one, this time teachers were on the dance floor, clapping for them Charlie cheered them on. Fred was dancing with his date, Faye was dancing with George, Cedric was dancing with Ann, and everyone who had a date was dancing with his or her date. Unlike Charlie who was on the side, watching she felt a little bit alone. Charlie kept an eye on Fred, waiting for any kind of signal for her but there was nothing for her just yet.

After half-and-hour passed with mostly waltz, Charlie eventually had her chance at the waltz with Faye. Charlie was the man and Faye was the woman, they played around on the dance floor as if they were doing a cliché of tango that they saw in movies. Bumping and stepping on other people, they apologized while dancing. They didn't care if they were awful on the dance floor; they were having too much fun.

Then the real fun started, the band stroked up their tunes, a fast beat tempo. Charlie waited for Faye so she could dance with her but she didn't know how long it would be till George would leave her. It was her luck that Faye ditched him to dance with Charlie, not the George didn't mind, he had other plans.

Charlie and Faye were dancing to the beats of what sounded like Arctic Monkeys, the kind of music that makes them jump and sway their hips. Charlie was quite the dancer, dancing to such a crazy tune, while singing and jumping. Faye wasn't a bad dancer herself, but she needed to find the beat every now and then. Together they sang the songs as they played out the roles with the lyrics, "I don't want to hear you no! Kick me out! Kick me out! I don't hear you no! Kick me out! Kick me out!" singing while they shook their heads and pretending to kick each other.

While they were dancing there were some boys who's attention was towards them, watching them dance. Cedric, who happened to be a few feet away, couldn't help but take a glance every now and then, while Ann tried to follow with the dance. Cedric wasn't very good at dancing to this kind of music, but he wasn't even making the effort to try. Especially not with Ann.

Another song started, Charlie of course got herself ready with Faye, moving her hips and teasingly moving her shoulders. Moving her head in different directions, her hair came off of her pins, draping down. Cedric just happened to inhale, when his face painted a large smile. Ann looked at him, "What's the matter?" she asked him as if he was smiling at her. Cedric wasn't paying attention, he inhaled once again and smiled. Ann didn't understand what he was doing, "Is something wrong?" asking him. Cedric just shook his head, "No, nothing." he said in a wonder as he looked at Charlie's way.

Just then Ann's stomach started to growl violently, even Cedric could hear it through the loud sounds, "You alright?" asking her. Ann clutched her stomach, "Oh, it's just my stomach I didn't really eat anything." she lied to him as she covered up her reaction. Cedric now looked around wildly, as if he was looking for someone, "What's that-" he said to himself. Ann's stomach again lurched, making her bend down, "Oh God!" she tried to pull herself together but she was loosing it. She could feel her food starting to come up, covering her mouth, Cedric watched her, "Are you alright? You don't look so good!" asking her. Though he didn't like her so much he was still a gentlemen to help her, holding her up he asked her, "Do you need help?"

Then he quickly looked around, again, he was looking for something that was near but he couldn't trace it.

Ann who was reluctant to have him help her said, "Just stay right here! I've got to go to the ladies room. Powder myself up." trying to force a smile on her face. Casually she tried to walk out of the Great Hall but she made a run for it when she felt that she couldn't hold it much longer.

The music had changed, the beats were much more faster with a different sound that most had never heard. It was more of a hip-hop sound; Charlie and Faye couldn't deny the sounds. The music was popular to those who listened to muggle music and it was clear as to how many people listened to it. Not a lot. Charlie and Faye danced to the beats, swaying their hips, moving their bodies in ways that most had never seen. Charlie and Faye were attracting attention to themselves, girls were watching to see what they could learn from them, while boys waited to see what they could get out of it. Charlie and Faye were getting a little too close when they were dancing, making some boys go 'Oh!' in shock and give a smug smile.

Just then another boy jumped in, dressed as a vampire hunter, he knew how to dance since he was attracting Charlie's attention. He had the moves of a break-dancer, he knew how to move fast with the beats with good moves. Charlie watched him while he danced. After he finished he looked at Charlie, eyeing her up, he was challenging her. The crowd went nuts when they realize that it was a dance off. Charlie shook her head while laughing, she knew she couldn't beat him since he was really good. Charlie then just shook his hand, then he pulled her in, their bodies touched. Charlie didn't pull back, her face wore a big smile and nodded her head. Together their bodies moved in rhythm, they were rubbing on each other while they did a routine dance. As if they had this planned! They moved to a quick swing dance, keeping the crowd locked on them. Then they quickly moved to a different dance.

The next song started, Charlie then teasingly pushed him away, as the song started to move her in a way that most had never seen. Taking off her hat she placed it on Faye, letting her hold it. Charlie was doing a belly dance to a song that was rather exotic. It was a strange rhythm that she danced to, there were times when the song was slow, and seductively she moved her hips slow. When the song got faster she moved faster along with her arm movements were as graceful as a ballet dancer. All eyes were on her, especially the boys; they looked as if they yearned to be part of that dance. It was seductive yet, playful kind of dance.

After the song started to slow down, she looked at the boy; he dramatically fell on the floor as if she won the battle. Causing the whole crowd to cheer for her. Charlie and the boy both bowed to the crowd. He graciously kissed her hand while she tipped her hat to him. They separated as they went back to their friends.

Cedric happened to be watching the whole thing from the side. His eyes were wide open, his jaw dropped, he couldn't breathe. Charlie had only danced with him once and that was just the tango, it was a messy tango. He thought that the dance was just bad, but this was just shocking. He had no idea that she could move like that. Cedric's face was red, his ears were red and his mouth was dry. It was enough to make him move away from the dance floor to sit down.

One thing that he didn't know was that Charlie knew how he was reacting to her dancing. Watching him walk away, she didn't know whether to be ashamed or be fine with it.

next to come.
