"Pansy's Idea"

-ADHARA PUNCHED THE WALL IN ANGER AS SHE REACHED HER DORM, MAKING PANSY, WHO WAS SLIGHTLY MOPING ON HER OWN BED, JUMP. She looked at her bestfriend in shock and alarm, "Are you alright, Ara?"

"Fucking peachy." Adhara snapped and took off her blazer, sitting down on her own bed and laying on it.

Pansy frowned slightly. "What happened?" She asked in concern.

Adhara glared at the ceiling. "We fought."

Pansy frowned even more. "Wait, why? Merlin it's taking way longer than needed for you two to get together."

"Well, she likes Viktor." Adhara replied, spitting out the name as if it were poison.

Pansy sat up straighter, an idea forming in her head. "I have the perfect idea, Ara."

It was now the next day, still Yule break.

"Harry." Adhara said as she rushed up to him.

Harry's conversation with his godfather and father stopped immediately as they looked at her in shock, "Did you just call me Harry?" His voice actually filled with happiness.

"No?" denied Adhara uncertainly.

"Oh my Merlin! You did!" He pointed an accusing finger at her, which she tried slapping away. "How cute!"

"Fuck off. I need your goddamn help."

"Help? With what?"

"Getting Granger."

Harry stood up immediately. "I'm all ears."

"Mione!" Harry exclaimed, rushing up to the said girl, frowning at her puffy red eyes. "Are you alright?"

Hermione nodded, but didn't reply, merely looking at the fireplace.

"Okay. Look, I need you to go wear a dress."

"I don't have a dress, Harry. And why?" She scoffed at the randomness of the request.

Harry grinned as he pulled her off of the couch and out of the common room. "Which is why Parkinson's called for you."

"What?! Harry, where are we going?"

"You'll see."

"How do I look?" Adhara questioned as she walked out of the bathroom.

Pansy's mouth dropped in shock at her in a suit. "Gorgeous," she managed to get out after a few seconds.

Adhara grinned. "Thanks, Pans."

"Now, get out. She's going to be here soon."

"Pureblood." Harry rolled his eyes as he said the obvious password, claiming entrance to the Slytherin common room.

Hermione's jaw dropped. "Harry, what the hell are we doing here?!"

Harry ignored her as he handed her over to a waiting Pansy, who immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her up the stairs to her dorm room.

"Um, Parkinson? What's going on?"

"Hush now, Granger." Pansy said, looking in her closet.

"Okay?" She replied in confusion and looked around. "Is this Adhara's room?!" She exclaimed in shock. She was even more shocked when she saw a photograph of what looked like Sirius and Adhara's mother on her bedside table.

"Yup. Mine, as well." Pansy replied, pulling out a gorgeous dress, making Hermione's eyes widen even more. "Now, go wear this."

"Can somebody just tell me where I'm going?!" Hermione asked in shock as she was now passed onto a smirking Draco.

Draco grabbed her hand. "Follow me, Granger." He said as they walked out of the common room.

"This is where I leave you." Draco said with a huge grin as he walked away, leaving Hermione alone in a corridor, making her even more confused.

"You look stunning." A voice said behind her, making her turn around.

Hermione's breath got caught in her throat as Adhara, who was wearing a suit, smiled at her. "What's going on?" She finally asked, wanting answers.

Adhara didn't reply as she walked over to her. "Will you go to the ball with me?"

"Ball? There's no ball-"

"Just say yes."

"Yes..?"

Adhara smiled as she grabbed her hand, stopping infront of a plain wall. Hermione gasped as the wall turned into a door. Adhara walked over to it and opened it, revealing a huge ballroom, where almost all the school was at, even some Beauxbatons students. "After you." She said, bringing her out of her thoughts.

Hermione couldn't answer as she looked at the room in awe when she walked in. She looked at the girl next to her in disbelief. "You did this?"

"Pansy helped. You told me that I should ask you to a ball next time, did you not?"

"But.. You planned a whole ball?"

"Yes, I did."

"Addie.." Hermione breathed out as she looked at the said girl. "It's gorgeous."

Adhara smiled as she held up a hand. "May I have this dance?"

"Of course."

"You know this was too much, right?" Hermione asked the taller girl as they slow danced to the song.

"What can I say?" Adhara grinned. "Us Blacks and Malfoys are dramatic."

Harry fake-sobbed as he walked over to them. "So cute!"

"Harry James Potter! Leave them alone!" James exclaimed as he rushed over to his son and grabbed him by the ear, giving the laughing couple an apologetic smile.
