Ch10

Hermione was getting worried when she heard laughter and the portrait door opening.

"What is so funny?" Gin asked.

"Blaise just told a joke that he played on Draco. It was a man joke. You wouldn't understand.

Hermione was starting to get mad so she hurried to the door with Ginny and said, "Let's go!"

"What's the rush 'Mione?" Harry asked.

Blaise decided to answer. "She's right. We have to get to work. You coming Ginny?" Gin nods. "Let's go," he quoted Hermione.

"What for?" Harry asked.

"You'll see tomorrow. Now shut up and give me a kiss!"

(back in the dorm room of the heads.)

"So, 'Mione? How are people who go to these balls supposed to get home if they weren't planning on staying at school?" Ginny asked.

"The headmistress is going to open up the floo network for Hogwarts. They will go back when the supervised personel is there. Now what kind of balls should we have?" Blaise answered.

"I think we should have a regular ball for Christmas and a masked ball for New Year's Eve," Ginny supplied.

"Good idea. For Christmas they can pull a name out of an object of someone else in their or the year above or below them. That will be their partner for the ball," Hermione continued.

"And for the New Year's Eve Ball they can meet people there. Not plan a partner," Blaise finished.
