GREAT HALL - 2nd SEPTEMBER

When everyone was in the Great Hall, Dumbledore got everyone's attention.

"Good Morning students. I understand that you probably want to finish up your breakfast but I have to announce something. As you all know Hogwarts was placed under a musical curse last night. We must adapt to these changes. Therefore, every meal must be attended from now on. You need to keep your stamina up. There will also be an extra class for dancing. Even though these songs seemed to be choreographed it would be good to practise so that your bones don't ache after a while. There will also now be a welcome ball on Saturday. What better than to prove to the Death Eaters that this curse won't bother us," He sat back down. The Great Hall was buzzing with noise.

Madame Hooch also stood, "I would also like to announce that Quidditch Tryouts will be this Sunday. Check your timetable to check your house designated time slot,"

"Tryouts this Sunday? We have to win again," Ginny told their group.

"We will, we're Gryffindor!" encouraged Harry.

"We would win better if I was on the team," Ron boasted walking past with Lavender on his arm. They all turned to him unimpressed.

"I don't think so. We did pretty well without you," Seamus laughed. Ron growled at them and walked off.

On the other side of the hall, the Slytherins were excited too.

"A ball? this early in the year? That's great!" said Pansy excitedly as their timetables appeared.

"But we've got those potions first thing," groaned Theo.

"This is going to be very funny," chuckled Blaise.

"Yeah, yeah Granger isn't back yet," Draco worried looking at her house table.

"Aww, you worried about your girlfriend," Blaise teased making kissy faces at Draco, "Don't worry, you can ask her to the ball next time,"

Draco glared at his plate, "Whatever,"

PREFECTS' BATHROOM - 2nd SEPTEMBER

Hermione sobbed in the Prefects Bathroom while trying to get rid of the charm. She knew her attempts wouldn't work because the charm was meant to last for 24 hours. But she still tried everything from spelling it away to having a bath. How stupid of her to trust Lavender Brown of all people.

"So that was a bad idea," Bellatrix said casually. Hermione glared at her.

"You think?"

Bellatrix sighed, "We can make this work. I have some charms that can do your hair. I can make your uniform look better blah blah, " She grabbed a chair and sat Hermione down in front of one of the Bathroom vanity tables. She then started doing charms with Hermione's hair, "You didn't run from with me," she observed.

"If you hurt me, you'll hurt yourself too. At least that's how I think it works,"

"Smart girl,"

"You're smart too, Bellatrix. So I don't understand why you believe in something as stupid as blood purity," She felt the woman stiffen behind her.

"I didn't always believe in it. My mother would scream and preach about it but I never truly believed it. None of us did," she said softly, "Not until I met him the love of my life,"

Hermione nodded in understanding, "Roldophus Lestrange,"

Bellatrix frowned, "What! No, not that idiot! I mean my Dark Lord,"
