WELCOME TO THE SUMMER BALL
YOU MUST COME DRESSED UP AND PERFERABLY WITH A DATE ALTHOUGH SINGLES ARE WELCOME. ALL YEARS ARE INVITED. HAVE FUN. The Great Hall gleamed. Everything had been transformed. Gone were the long house seating tables. Now just over half of the room was filled with smaller round tables that each sat ten. Even the staff were to sit in this formation. The houses would be mingled together.
The other section of the floor was covered in a large polished dance floor and a long stage. Against the far wall, numerous different delicacies had been prepared along with sweets, cakes, and numerous punches and butter beer.
Hagrid had brought in dozens upon dozens of summer flowers and created centerpieces and displays to set around the room. Professor Filtwick had enchanted a different Chinese style ceiling and hanging chandeliers. Professor Sprout and Trelawney had set the tables with gold dishes, clear crystal goblets and polished silver wear.
Everything looked beautiful and sparkling. The Weird sisters had just arrived and were setting up on the stage and the students and professors were getting dressed. Hagrid had purchased new dress robes for the occasion and the deep black and silver material suited him. His hair was brushed and sleeked back.
The clock struck six pm. It was time. Hagrid walked to the Great Hall doors, and swung them open. It promised to be a great night. |

Talon stood leaning against the wall in his dress robes. It looked rather well on him, and since it was almost all black, it seemed like something he would wear. He entered slowly after faking a smile to Hagrid and waving slightly at a nearby professor. He watch as a few students began to enter as he waited and watched for Cara or one of his friends.

Cara walked into the room and looked around. It looked beautiful. And completely different. The long tables were gone and replaced with circle tables. Cara had never seen the hall like this before. She was looking around smiling when she saw Talon. She felt dumb. She hated wearing long dresses but she would have to get used to it. She kind of like this one. It was strapless, and had to layers. The bottom one was white with gold ivy on it. The second was a thin see through one. It was soft and it reminded Cara of net. She walked over to him and smiled at him. "You look nice." Cara said to him. She looked around and wondered where Mandy was. Mandy had told Cara that she could see Mandy's dress at the dance. Cara looked around to see who would come next. She smiled at Hagrid and keep looking around.  Cara's dress. |

Servius had been asked to the ball by Professor McGonagall. They always attended these sorts of functions together. They were not romanticly linked but they enjoyed eachothers company. He stood at the foot of the Grand Staircase waiting for her to arrive. Servius was dressed in black Dress Robes with Emerald Green Retro pattern. He watched the students milling around and looked for any trouble. Everyone was excited about the Ball and talking in groups or waiting for their dates. He felt a hand on his upper arm and turned. Minerva stood beside him now, smiling. Servius smiled back. She was dressed in a crimson floor length gown that was held up by one shoulder. It was tight to below her breasts and then flowed out in layers of silk. Her hair, always up in a bun now hung down her hair in loose curls. "You look very pretty." Servius told her. Minerva blushed. She stepped off the stair and they made their way inside admist the students. |

He smiled at Cara before offering his arm"You look beautiful Cara...absolutely stunning...the most gorgeous thing on two legs" he smirked at the last comment. He smiled as he found her seat and pulled out her chair for her " I shall be waiting for a dance....if you'll have me...do so"

The Tables are not sorted by house. Everyone can sit where they want.

Ella walked in to the Great Hall from down the stairs. She wore a black dress with a red ribbon strip below her breast. It was long and went down to the floor. She wore black flats and had her hair down but in lose ringlets. Her bangs were straightened so they could hang freely. Ella looked around the Great Hall and was in shock. She'd never seen the Great Hall look this before, and she'd been there five years. She looked around the room for Harry but figured maybe he'd be a bit late.
Ella took a seat at table and waited for people to arrive. She saw Snape and his date, Cara and Talon. She didn't go up to them because she didn't know how they would act to her. Again she looked around for Harry.

Harry was wearing his dress robes when he came down the grand staircase. There werea lot of students and staff at the foot of the stairs and moving into the hall. Harry hurried along and as soon as he stepped inside, he spotted Ella. The room was greatly changed. It looked like a whole new room. He marveled at the boxed design of the ciealing and the many tables before moving to Ella's side. "Wow." He said sitting at the table. "You look amazing."

Ella smiled when Harry sat down next to her. She took his hand automatically and blushed. "Thanks. You look nice too." She said looking at him. Ella scooted closer to him and their hands on his leg. She looked around and some people were staring so she kissed Harry on the lips. She wanted to kiss him anyway. She put her other hand around his neck. Ella liked the feel of his lips on hers and the way their lips moved together.

Harry smiled as Ella moved closer to him. When she put her arm aaorund his neck and kissed him, Harry moved into the kiss happily. He put his free hand around her waist and pulled her closer. Hary kissed Ella deeply enjoying the feel of her. He was aware of the others watching him but didn't care. It wasn't till someone hit him lightly on the shoulder and cleared his throat that Harry broke the kiss. Ron stood by his side red in the face but smiling.

Ella blushed when he kissed her back and when he pulled her closer, her cheeks flames with intensity. She felt the vibration of the person hitting Harry and when he pulled away, she looked up and saw Ron. She blushed bright red and smiled. "Hey Ron." She said and giggled in embarrassment. Ella put her head between Harry's neck and shoulder. She looked at their hands and rubbed the back of his hand with her thumb. She wished Ron hadn't interrupted them but Ron was Harry's best friend. It was okay.

"hey." Ron returned. He sat next to Harry. Harry bent his neck towards Ella and smiled. It felt nice to have his girlfirend and best freind with him. "Where's Hermione?" Hary asked Ron. Harry put one arm around Ella. He noticed the look he was getting from Snape. Snape was the only teacher Harry didn't like. Harry looked over to where the Wierd Sisters were setting up. This promised to be a good night.

Ella listened to them talk as she thought about things. She smiled when Ron returned the hey. Ella looked up slightly without moving her head from Harry's shoulder. She loved the way he held her and how her hand always felt right in his hand. She started to day dream about Harry a little but she caught herself and stopped. Ella kissed Harry's neck because she didn't want to speak and interrupt their conversation.

Ginny got ready. She put on her dress. She was going with Gregory Goyle. She didn't how her brother or even most Gryffindors would act. She put her hair up. She put her earrings. She put on her necklace. Ginny looked herself in the mirror and smiled. She walked down the Grand Staircase. She waited in the entrance hall for Gregory. She had started to call him Gregory instead of Goyle. She was nervous. She could already hear the music. She smiled as she waited for Gregory. |

Cedric dressed himself in black dress robes. He combed his hair and walked out of the common room. Cedric didn't ask no one and he didn't take any offers. He had no idea who he wanted to dance with tonight. He would probably dance with every girl that asked to dance with him. He smiled as he walked into the Great Hall and sat down.
