Chapter 26

"Aren't you excited?" Lily said. "They're having a Halloween dance!"

"That sounds wonderful. Dominique, you're going to be my date right?" Roxanne asked.

"I wouldn't have it any other way," Dominique said with a smile.

"We have to pick out dresses. Make Lily come with us," Rose said.

"But my boyfriend is in working. He won't be able to come back to Hogwarts for a silly dance," Rosa sighed.

"Get dressed up anyway. You can dance with us," Roxanne said. "No matter what happens, you need to get dressed up and come anyway."

"Alright." Rosa sighed again.

"I like this one!" Lily said. It was emerald green. "Scorpius is wearing silver. I know they're Slytherin colors, but he put up with dressing like a Gyrffindor colors. It's only fair we dress in his house colors this time."

"It's really pretty," Rose said. "Like this on for me?" She asked, in a gold color dress.

Soon everyone but Rosa has a dress. "I don' see the point in dressing up and going alone."

"Oh just come one, this one's nice," Rose said, giving her a purple gown.

"It is nice. I guess I can wear it,"Rosa said, giving up.

"You'll look beautiful,"Rose said with a smile. "I promise you'll have a good time. Trust me okay?"

"Fine. I'll trust you, but you better be right. I'm going to hold you responsible "Rosa said.

'Rose laughed. "I understand. Like I sad, just trust me," Rose said.

"Yeah trust us!" Roxanne said brightly.

"Yeah. Yeah. It's going to be great!" Dominique added. "It's a dance and we don't get those very often. You have to come and at last try to have fun."

"I'll try and have fun," Rosa said. "No promises."

"Well our boys are waiting for us for lunch, we shouldn't keep them waiting. Molly is even going to be there with Micheal,"Rose said.

"Oooh, Molly and Micheal. I would think they wouldn't leave the bed the whole time we have at Hogsmeid,," Roxanne said.

"Nope they want to spend time time with us," Rose sad.

"Man how long does it take to pick out a dress?" Cooper asked.

"It's a girl thing. I'm sure they'll be here soon," Molly said.

"What about your dress?"Micheal asked.

"I ordered it. It should be here by tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful,"Molly said with a smile. "and you'll be able to come to the dance right?" Molly asked.

"I wouldn't miss if for the world. I got permission from the school to let me come back for the dance," Micheal said. "There's a few others like us that, one of the pair isn't in school anymore but want to be at the dance with their partner. It's nice,"Micheal said.

"I guess that's a nice thing," Cooper said.

That's when the girls came in. "it's good to see you Molly," Roxanne said.

"Well we're family. Family should hang out sometimes. Besides, you really haven't met Micheal have you?" Molly asked. "He's only the greatest guy ever! He works with magical creatures." She was next to him, leaning against him "I'm so happy he's able to come to the dance with me."

Micheal laughed a little. "I don't think I'm as amazing as Molly thinks I am, but it is good to see you all."

"Well you can never be better than Roxanne and me," Dominique said."But you two are awfully cute together. I'm impressed too. You tamed Molly. She's not a slut anymore. She actually away from other guys and didn't sleep around. She must really love you,"

Molly was flushed. "H-hey!I was never a slut! I just like sex. I can be celibate if I want to be."

"Don't get so offensive. I think it's a good thing," Roxanne said. "No one else could make you wait for sex. I'm just impressed you found someone that you want to be with more than anyone else. I like it."

"If you say so," Molly said.

"Come on, let's not gang up on Molly,"Rose said.

"Yeah we should just be fine,"Rosa said.

"Yeah! We should have some fun!" Rose said.

"Let's eat, I'm starving," Roxanne sad.

After a few hours of sitting and talking, "I don't want to go back to school,"Roxanne complained.

"Well I don't want to leave Micheal either, but we don't have a choice," Molly said, kissing Micheal.

"Geez. No one wants to see you make out," Dominique said.

"Shut up.," Molly said. "You should be thankful I even came out here to spend the day with you guys," Molly said.

"You mean we should be happy you chose us over sex with Micheal?" Dominique asked.

Molly's face went red. "S-shut up. What is my sex life any of your business?"

"The fact you flash it about makes it my business," Dominique said.

"That was the old me. I'm better now. I don't flaunt my sex life anymore. I'm only with Micheal now," Molly stated, stubbornly.

"Well no matter what we need to go back," Roxanne said.

Luis sat with Ciel in the Three Broomsticks. There were a lot of people, almost all men looking at them. It made Luis uncomfortable. It wasn't like it was anything new though. There were always guys after him because of his Veela blood, but he didn't get used to it. It was always something he didn't like.

"Don't worry about them," Ciel said. "They don't matter. It's not like they care about you. Since I'm with you they wouldn't dare try anything against you. If you do, then I'll make them stop."

"I'm worried about Albus. We used to hang out sometimes, but he spends all his time with Alek now. I think it's the same way with his other friends. I honestly think Alek is abusing Albus. He's isolating him form people. He refers as Albus as 'His Albus'. I really think he's abusing Albus, but I don't know what to do about it"

"I would be wary about doing anything. Aleks' still dealing with the death of his family. He might be possessive of Albus because he's all he has left," Ciel pointed out.

"I guess that makes sense. I just worry about Albus because he doesn't deal with pressure well. I don't think he should even be on the quiddich team, but he seems to like it. I know James is worried about Albus too. James doesn't like Alek,I know that much. He says he get a bad feeling around him and it's not because he's a Slytherin. I don't know," Luis shook his head. "Another group of guys hit on me. They weren't happy when I turned them down. I froze them and ran away. I wish people would just leave me alone. People can keep in their pants around someone like Molly used to be. Why is it so hard for them to do that with me? I don't understand."

"Because most men are pricks," Ciel said. "They can't control the feelings you give them and they don't know how to act. Liking you makes them question their sexuality and that scares them so they want to take it out on you."

"I guess that makes sense. I hate it though. I hate being part Veela, but I love my family and I wouldn't have them if I wasn't veela, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. I just wish I could deal better with all of the men"

"I can't say I understand, but I can try and help protect you from those men," Ciel said. "I mean, if you want that."

"That would be wonderful. I get so scared, but if you're around then maybe they wouldn't try anything," Luis said.

"I hope that's the case. If they hit on you while I'm here, then I'll scare them off,"Ciel siad.

"I'm glad I have you," Luis said.

"And I'm glad to have you for a boyfriend," Ciel said.

Luis smiled. "Yeah you're the best too.'''

"I think we should study together. I know you're falling behind some of your work. I should be able able to help you catch up," Ciel said.

"Thank you. That would be nice. Some of my classes are so hard," Luis said. "I just don't understand some of charm or potions. I always add too much or too little in my potions. And charms is just above my head."

"Well I should be able to teach those two you without a problem. I'm not the best teacher, but I should be good enough to help you."

"I'm glad. I don't want to fail a class," Luis said. "My parents would freak if I failed a class."

"Well we'll have to make sure that you don't fail,"Ciel said with a smile.

"Are you going to the dance?" Luis asked.

"I wasn't planning on it," Ciel said.

"I was hoping you'd come with me," Luis said.

"Is it important to you ?"

"Kinda. I want to go but I don't want to go alone."

Ciel sighed. "Then I better get a suit to wear."

"I don't want to force you to come if you don't wan to."

"Get get so passive aggressive. You want me to come so just say that."

"I want you to come with me," Luis said.

"Alright good. Now," Ciel got up. "I should pick out a suit. Want to come with me?" Ciel asked.

"Sounds good,"

"Are you going to the dance with me?" Albus asked.

"You want to go to the dance?" Alek asked.

"I do and I want you to come with me," Albus said.

"Well I suppose I should go. I don't want you to go without me," Alek said.

"All my cousins will be there, well all the ones still in school and James," Albus said.

"Yeah you do have a lot of cousins," Alek said ,shaking his head. "But family is a good thing."

Albus frowned. "You're thinking about your family again aren't you?"

"Yeah" Alek said. "I wish I had siblings, or cousins or any kind of family. I guess all I have left is you." Alek hugged Albus. "I'm sad about my family, but it's getting better. I'll be alright, so don't worry about me."

"How can I not worry about you? You're my boyfriend and I love you,"Albus said. "If I don't worry about you, who would?"

"I rather no one worry about me, but someone has to worry about me, I want it to be you," Alek said. "Let's go get us some suits."
