Chapter 18:

A Halloween Ball

,,Oh! My! God!"  gasped, as she looked in the mirror. She looked beautiful; she was wearing a devil , her hair lighter and her normally green eyes somehow brighter for the occasion, giving her a more intimidating aura.

gasped as well as she saw herself: ,,Jasmine, ho-how did you do that?"

Jasmine shrugged: ,,Just a few spells."

As soon as the girls had left the Hall, the two Slytherins and the Gryffindor had ran right to the Heads dorms (which they had laughed like crazy at the password) and started helping each other.  (Narcissa gave her that look) had helped them both and they had all started making each other's hair, curling it or painting each other's nails. The two Black girls were, in Jasmine's opinion, awesome. It was almost impossible to believe that they were raised to hate muggles and muggle-bores, as they didn't seem like it.

At first, Jasmine had thought it may was a trap; after all that was what they were known for. But, after spending a few hours together, Jasmine just knew it wasn't. She realized immediately if somebody was doing that; going to so many schools had almost only good sides.

,,Alright ladies!" Bellatrix twirled around on the spot :,,Let's go!"

* * *

The  looked amazing. Fantastic, wonderful, awesome. There were no other words to describe it. All the  was adorned (a big thanks to the House-elves and Jasmine). There was , French food and much more. A giant c was hanging from the Great Hall's ceiling, the  itself was showing a stormy sky, the ghosts were flying around the room, pumpkins floated, bats flied...

They had done a great job. If you were to enter the Hall that night, you would have been surprised. You would have jumped or squeezed or held your mouth wide open.

Not only students seems surprised; Professor Dumbledore, who was wearing a long, dark violet cloak and a muggle wizard hat, congratulated Potter and Jasmine, along with the prefects, Professor McGonagall (wearing a cat costume[Jasmine had managed to convince her somehow]) praised them, Slughorn beamed and said that she had done a great work (and even offered her to decorate for his Christmas party, at which she politely declined), Professor Flitwick grinned when he saw how many charms spells they had used....everybody seemed very happy.

Jasmine launched herself to the drink area, while laughing (Narcissa and Bellatrix has disappeared on the dance floor and Alice and Marlene were nowhere to be found) and looked at the drinks; Firewhiskey, Butterbeer...Jasmine looked around in case that anybody was watching and smirked when she saw nobody.I don't think it is needed to say which one she drank.

As soon as she felt the hot Firewhiskey running through her throat she felt much better. It had been really hard to pretend she would never drink something like that for two months.

Jasmine danced, talked and had fun. Oh, how awesome that was! She was walking towards the drink table once more, when somebody seemed to appear out of nowhere.

,,Like the party?"

Potter was leaning on the wall, a glass of Whiskey in his hand. Jasmine nodded slowly, unsure of what to do. Be sarcastic? Well, that would ruin her act a bit...but, hadn't she been like that on her first day at Hogwarts? She decided, that a bit would not hurt anybody.

,,I am." She looked closely at him. He was wearing a...weird costume, in her opinion, however, he looked ravishing. He was dressed as a stag. Who dressed as a stag on Halloween? He was wearing brown clothes, that clearly had a spell on them and antlers on his head. Somehow, that all matched his hazel eyes, the eyes, that Jasmine had been watching unconsciously almost for a minute. Apart from his appearance, he didn't seem too happy, so she added: ,,But, the question is, are you?"
