The next day at dinner Tawni was clinging to Justin again and I was left by myself. I sighed and plucked up the courage to talk to some kids. I managed to make a couple friends. Two first years, one named Suzie Frino and the other named Penny Davis (Justin's younger sister). Also a second year boy named Daniel Maxus.

It turned out that I had some classes with Penny and Suzie. We discussed the upcoming dance. Everyone was required to wear a mask.

"So do you want to come with us to Hogsmeade?" Penny asked.

"Yeah, sure. That would be fun." I said. We discussed where to meet and finished our dinner. We walked inside portrait and sat down.

"So Sonny you want to play wizard's chess?" Daniel asked me.

"No but I will watch." I said. He shrugged and he and Penny played against each other. I didn't take long for Penny to kick his butt. I stifled a yawn.

"Sorry guys I'm gonna head off to bed." I said.

"Sure see ya." Suzie said.

I walked up to bed and pulled on my Pj's. I slid under the covers and fell asleep.

I was awoken with someone bouncing on my bed.

"Finally you're awake." They said.

"What?" I looked up to see Suzie and Penny sitting on either side of my bed.

"Today's Hogsmeade!" Suzie squealed. Penny rolled her eyes. I sat up and stretched.

"Cool. Now can I actually wake up?" I asked.

"Yeah we'll meet you downstairs." Penny said and pulled Suzie down the stairs.

I got up and got my stuff for a shower. I walked into the bathroom and let the water run. Once I finished I put on my robes and walked down to meet the others.

"You're done yay!" Suzie said.

"Can we go eat?" Daniel asked rubbing his eyes obviously not awake.

"Yeah let's go." I said. We walked down to the great hall.

The chatter in there was louder than usual probably because of today's Hogsmeade trip.

We sat down and ate our food. We had just finished when Professor McGonagall spoke up.

"All 1st and 2nd years please hand in your permission forms. Today the 1st 2nd and 3rd years will all go to Hogsmeade. Tomorrow will be 4th 5th 6th and 7th. Please meet by the front doors at noon. That is all." The chatter started up again. We continued our conversation and eagerly awaited the afternoon.

The morning had flown by and soon we were waiting outside for the teacher. Once McGonagall had arrived and we all had handed in our forms we were off. We all had ideas on what we wanted to be and went in with expectations. We finally found a store called Goofy Gales and went in. We found George and Fred there all ready (of course) searching through the costumes.

We all separated and went searching. Suzie found hers first. It was a pink dress with flowy see through sleeves, white shoes, white stockings, a sparkly wand and crown. Penny found hers next. It was what she called 'Scream'. Daniel's costume was a vampire. It was mainly black with a white collar. I was the last to find mine and that took awhile. Mine was red then gold strips and a deep purple in the middle. The sleeves were red then red and flowy white lace. It hugged at the middle with a gold waistband and then flowed out. The skirt was red and then had white lace trimming on the bottom. We decided to look for masks next. Penny didn't need a mask so she decided to head to Honeyduke's and said she would meet us there. Suzie found a simple white mask with ties. Daniels was plain black and mine had intricate detailing. It was red and black and really pretty. (All costumes and masks are displayed on my profile.)

We payed for our items and decided to search for Penny. We found her near the display of chocolate. We bought some candy and decided to head back to Hogwarts. We chatted on the way back about what the dance was going to be like. Once we got back to the school we put our costumes away and played wizard's chess until dinner.

Dinner was uneventful and I fell asleep very quickly once I made it to bed.

The days flew by and neither Tawni nor the twins would give up what their costumes looked like. Soon it was the day of the dance. I was wandering down the corridors before I had to go get ready for the dance. I found George hiding dung bombs near Filch's door. I walked quietly up behind him and yelled "BOO!" He jumped ten feet in the air and turned around.

"Sonny! You scared the hell out of me." He said.

"Uh huh and what Filch's is going to do to you if you set off that dung bomb doesn't scare you in the least bit?" I said.

"Nope. Argy's an old softy."

I giggled. "Argy? That's not very different from Arg!"

"Yeah matey he's secretly a pirate." He crooked a finger and closed an eye trying to imitate a pirate. I laughed harder.

"Oi, what you doing?" Filch's gravelly voice rang through the corridor.

"Bloody hell I thought he was still cleaning Fred's mess."

"Huh?"

"Just come on." He grabbed my hand and we started running. He ducked into the broom closet and dragged me along. He tripped on something and fell. He was still holding my hand so I fell on top of him. When I realized our position I blushed and got up. We sat in silence until we heard Filch past. Once the footsteps faded George opened the door slightly and motioned me to come. Once we closed the door we bolted the opposite direction of Filch. Once we came to the area where it split and lead into the directions of our respective rooms we said see you later than ran to our portraits.

"Pumpkin juice patties." I said. It opened for me and I ran inside and to my dorm. Tawni, Suzie and Penny were in there getting ready. They hadn't noticed me so I started to get ready. I put my hair up into a messy bun and left a few pieces hanging to frame my face.

I put on some purple eye shadow that made my eyes pop and light lip gloss. I finally slipped into my costume and checked myself in the mirror. I didn't look like Sonny anymore but a princess. I put my mask on and went downstairs.

I saw Penny with her outfit and Daniel in his. I also saw Suzie standing next to Tawni. Tawni was wearing a blue Cinderella looking dress from the muggle children's stories and a white sparkly mask with white feathers sticking out of the top. She was standing next to Justin. He was dressed as Prince Charming. He also had a gold mask to match his sash. I walked up to Penny and Daniel and they gasped.

"What?" I asked.

"Sonny you look amazing!" Penny said. Daniel still stood there with his mouth open. I reached over and closed it.

"Thanks and you look screamy."

"Thanks." She said.

"What time does the dance start at?" I asked.

"Eight. It ends at 10:30 for us." She said and sighed. I nodded and looked at the time. It was 10 minutes till eight. We decided to start walking to the great hall.

Once we got there we all gasped excluding Daniel and Justin. The great hall was decorated with black and orange streamers. It had enchanted floating pumpkins. At one end was magical playing instruments at the other were chairs and a table filled with treats and punch.

The teachers that were present were chatting. One teacher stood near the punch bowl. Probably to keep an eye on it so no one spiked it. The teacher was wearing a black mask that oddly resembled a bat. I bit my lip hard when I realized who the teacher was. It was Professor Snape.

Soon people began to file in. We walked in with the crowd and onto the dance floor. A pair of red haired boys with moustaches in matching suits (except for the fact that one was red and one was green) walked up to us.

"Hello." the one in red said.

"Hey" I said back "Who are you?"

"You should know the difference by now Sonny." the one in green said. I looked them over again and the light bulb went off.

"Fred! George!" I said and hugged them both. I stopped and stood back. I didn't recognize their costumes. "Who are you?" I asked them.

"We are George and Fred Weasley." George said.

"You should know us by now." Fred said.

I smacked George upside the head.

"Ow" He faked cried.

"I meant who are you supposed to be?" I asked again.

"I am Mario." George said.

"And I am his brother Luigi." Fred said.

"Still don't know them." I said.

"We are characters from a video game." They cleared up.

"Okay." I shrugged and we walked over to the treats. We stood and talked for a bit. A boy in a blue prince like costume and a blue mask walked up to me.

"Would you care to dance?" He asked.

"Sure." He took my hand and we walked onto the dance floor. A slow song came on. He apparently knew how to slow dance. I stumbled along trying to follow him. He had a vibrant smile and blue eyes that matched his mask. I knew where those blue eyes were from and my eyes widened.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing" I shook my head. I was being ridiculous this person was definitely not Chad.

We danced for a few more songs and then went and sat down. We talked a bit. The longer we talked the more I realized that my suspicions from earlier were true.

"Um I'm going to get some punch." I got up and quickly dashed to the table. I got myself a glass and stood there watching the people dance. Chad started to walk towards me and thankfully Daniel came up and asked me to dance. I grabbed his hand and we dashed to the dance floor. The song was faster and Daniel and I were twirling around the dance floor. He twirled me and Chad took me from him and twirled me away from Daniel.

"Why did you run away?" He asked.

"Uh, uh" I scrambled through my thoughts for a solution.

"Well?"

"You see my friend asked me to dance before we even entered the hall and then you swept me away so instead of hurting your feelings I just got punch and went to dance with him." I smiled nervously and hoped he would accept my lie.

"Okay." He shrugged and we kept on dancing.

It was five minutes to ten thirty and Dumbledore announced that 1st, 2nd and 3rd years all had to return to their dorms. Chad offered to take me to my dorm. I shrugged my shoulders and said sure.

We walked in silence until we reached the Hufflepuff portrait. That's when it dawned on me. If Chad didn't know who I was then how did he know what house I was in?

I turned to ask him that but he cut me off.

"Thanks for the dancing Sonny." I gasped so he did know who I was.

He kissed my cheek and walked off. I stood there shocked. I finally regained my senses when I saw my friends walking down the hall. I ducked into the portrait and ran upstairs. I jumped into my Pj's and quickly hopped onto my bed and closed the curtains.
