Hermione's POV A few minutes later we arrived at a large hotel. We were told the ball was going to be held there. There was swarms of reporters waiting by the door. We checked in to an old man with a tuxedo.
"We are here for the ball. We are the Malfoys and Zabinis," says Draco. "Right this way, sir," says the old man with a twinkling smile. "Thank you," I say. "Um, this is not permitted but would you mind if I took a picture with you and you all could sign it. You see it's my grand daughter's ninth birthday. Her name is Mikahela," says the old man nervously.
"Oh. I don't mind," I said to him grinning. He pulls out a muggle camera and stands next to me with a large grin. I do the same and the picture is taken. He hands up a black pen and I begin to write in the back of the picture.
Thank you for you support. I hope you have an amazing birthday, Mikahela. Lots of love, Hermione Granger Then it was Draco turn. I hope you have an amazing ninth birthday, Mikahela. Truly, Draco Malfoy
Ginny went next. Happy birthday, Mikahela!!! Have lots of fun and you should know your grandfather loves you a lot and you are very lucky to have him. Loving, Ginny Weasley
Lastly, Blaise. You know what they say, best for last. I hope you have an amazing birthday with lots of cake and candy. Loving, friendly, kind (the list goes on and on), Blaise Zabini "There you go," says Blaise. I laugh at what he wrote.
"How come I didn't know you possessed those qualities," Draco says. The old man says, "Thank you." "Your welcome," we all said walking into the ballroom. Everything was in house colors.
"I got moves you've never seen," Blaise says. I laugh at him along with Ginny. "Hello," says Rita Skeeter. She is dressed in a bright purple halter dress with zebra and leopard prints meaning she hasn't married but doesn't apply for the Marriage Law. That and she has no sense in what is normal.
"Hello, Ms. Skeeter," says Draco. She blushes. This women hitting on my future husband.

"How is it going Mr. Malfoy," asks Rita batting her eyelashes.
"Great," says Draco. They engage in a small conversation and she leaves thankfully. Kingsley starts the ball. "Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Today we are here to celebrate a new era for the our world. Today one year ago the Boy Who Conquered, the Girl Who Lead and the Boy Who Was Loyal helped us get rid of Voldemort. Along with their allies the Boy Who Stood With Us. These people are amazing. They stood with us, helped us, and they are still here for us. However, to have a better future for us there was many casualties. Today, we celebrate those who we lost to make this all possible. They are the reason we are here today. We are here to celebrate the lives of those who perish and those who lived!" Kingsley exclaims.
"To begin we have Harry Potter and his future wife Parvati Patil," says Kingsley. Everyone claps and cheers. You can barely get us clapping. Harry came up with a red suit with a black shirt and shoes. His tie was silver. He looked nice.
