Harry was waiting for Analise outside the Gryffindor portrait.

Hurry up Analise… He thought. Then he saw her. She had on a silver dress that seemed to have flames engulfing the bottom of it, and the long sleeves were the same color orange as the flames.

"You look great, Analise." Harry said.

"Thanks, Harry. Are you ready to go?" She said.

"Yeah. Let's go" He said. The Yule Ball went perfectly. The champions started the dances and no one faltered a step. Analise and Harry had danced to 3 songs, when she put a hand up to her head.

"Are you alright?" Harry asked.

"Yeah I am fine. Want to go get something to drink?" She asked. Harry could tell there was more. On their way to the tables, they brushed up against Draco Malfoy.

"Watch it!" He said with a sneer.

"Back off, Malfoy…" Analise said in a low growl, then stormed past him. Harry followed her. They finally found privacy.

"Tony's asking for me outside, and he doesn't sound to happy." She said, slightly worried.

"Did I get you into trouble? If I did then-' He stopped short.

"No. He's just really protective. I will be back in a bit, ok?" She said.

"Ok…" Harry replied. She got outside.

Thirty Minutes later...

It had been 30 minutes since Analise had left, and Harry was starting to worry. Ron came over.

"Where's Analise at, Harry?" Ron asked.

"I don't know. She went outside to meet a friend of hers and she hasn't come back yet." He replied.

"Want me to help you look for her?"

"Sure. Let's go." Harry said. They looked outside the door she had gone out of. No trace of her. They looked by the fountain. No trace. They looked on the edge of the Forbidden Forrest. Trace of her! They found a huge paw print, scuffle marks, and… hair? Yes it was hair, black hair at that. There was also a note. Harry picked it up and read it:

We have your friend… if you wish to see her again, well let's just let you find that out. You will tell no one of this. And also, we gave her a haircut. She won't be able to hide those ears any more.

D.E

Well, that explained the hair.

"What's that?" Ron Asked.

"Nothing. Let's get back inside." Harry replied. Ron gave him a worried look but followed anyway. Harry hoped Analise was ok…
