The Yule Ball closed

he sat back smiling "very well old man we shall leave this for now but if you do wish to try youre luck with me come find me outside these walls" he looked to the entrance and saw a blonde girl enter his nose picked out her smell "veela huh intresting havent seen one in a while" he shrugged and turned back to harriate "having fun love"

Bill shook his head at the group and looked around the room, there stood Remus talking to a haunty pair of people, and many teenagers dancing, Bill snorted and looked to the door, at where he had just entered, there stood a beautiful figure, Bill gulped slightly and made his way over to the woman, whom he knew as Fleur. "Fleur!" He called, a beaming smile upon his face, as a couple ran out of the great hall giggling with each other. "What're you doing here?" He asked, as polite as he could.

Fleur looked to the being who had called her name, she beamed sweetly and gave a small elegant wave "Bill!" she grinned "ow nice it is to see 'ou zer hall is grande, Excellente" she smiled "and blushed lightly "Oh, I thought zat it vould be nice to eh..ow do you say it? ah..rekindle..memories?" she frowned struggling with the various English phrases before her expression softened and she took in Bills clothes "vou look, very 'andsome I vink it is the first time i ave, see vou in such clothes."

he looked at her quizzingly "y'all right love seem a bit distant do you want me to go and bite that old bugger?" he asked jokingly putting his arm around her

"whys that?" he asked quite baffled
he turned to look at her fully why say such things

"dont worry we will find a way there has to be one" he looked down at thtable "we have to"

he looked at her and smiled "then we never shall mon chica" he took her in his arms and looked at the dance floor "do you dance?"

Hermione stared at the glass for a moment, but after a while brought it to her lips, gulping it down.
"Wow," she gasped, "That was.. quite nice actually!" she said, placing the glass back on the table with a clink. She poured herself a second glass, with only a little regret.

Ginny jumped, looking up at her brother.
"Bill!" she gasped, pushing the glass away quickly, "Oh, just smelling it," she said, with an innocent grin, "Smells nice," she said, with a nod. She threw Ron a dirty look, meaning that he needed to back her up here. She couldn't afford Bill telling her mum.

Hermione looked anxiously at the bottle for a moment, but then momentarily shrugged, taking a swig from the bottle.

"Oh my god, Hermione!" said Ginny, giggling, "What has gotten into you?" Both girls had not noticed the discussion of dancing between Harry and Ron.

"What?! Harry told me to.." she said, smiling innocently, "Here, have my glass," she said, pushing it towards her. It was quite random really. She had no idea what had gotten into her. Rule-breakign was never really her thing. But maybe she should have a break afterall. Have a bit of fun.

Hermione stood up arubtly, facing Harry.
"Come on Harry, lets go and dance," she said, holding out her hand.

"Off you go, chosen one," muttered Ginny, elbowing him as a friendly, enthusiastic gesture.

Lupin had filled up another plate and got himself a glass of wine. He wondered over towards the table but saw Hermione Ron and Harry.
He made his way toward Ron and looked at the bottle he was drinking "I hope that is Pumpkin Juice Ron." He said before sipping his wine and looking over to Harry and Hermione

Hermione, dancing with Harry, burst out laughing, quite loudly. Luckily, the music covered it up.
"What?! Yes, I trust you! Why?" she shouted, over the music that pumped out the magical speakers.

"Hi Remus! Yeah, it's pumpkin juice, don't worry. Come on Ron!" she yelled, pulling him away as quickly as she could.

"I saw that Harry." he said giving Harry a stern look. He then looked back to Ron ".. and that is why you are taking half of the staffs drinks then.. I hate to be a party pooper, but you are underage to drink, its stealing and it's unfair for us, I can smell it on your breath, goes for student" he said looking away from Ron and around at the others in the hall.

Ginny rolled her eyes, nodding.
"Yes Ron. Just trust me on this one!" she yelled, joining Harry and Hermione in the centre of the dancefloor, crowded by everyone else.
"Hi Harry!" she called, grinning, "You look like you're having fun!"

Hermione, now unaware of what was really going on, laughed along with him, taking both his hands and dancing along to the music.
"I feel.. odd," she admitted, finding the situation quite amusing. She started singing along to the song by the Weird Sisters, quite loudly.
"Hi Ron! Hi Ginny!" she yelled, seizing her singing, "Who's that at our table?!"
