Hundred-Twenty-Three: Masquerade Ball Part Two

Entry for NOJOMO. It isn’t the most interesting. I usually don’t post my RP stories this close together. ICK.

For One Night

The closer I got back to my dorm, the more I wanted to walk back to the dance. The Polyjuice potion had been brewing in my closet for months but it just seems to not be worth it anymore. As bored as I am, I am sure I can think of something else to do besides this. My imagination may have got away with me when I created the potion in the first place.

With that in mind, I turned around and walked back into the ball. I spotted Colin dressed as a Prince while Jazmine sported Marie Antoinette; a matching pair. He saw me as well because he smiled at me as I returned the gesture and nodded. I gazed my eyes around the room and saw Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny as well. I didn’t pay attention to their costumes really. My focus was on Zeke and Kaden. They were sharing a conversation that seemed to be funny. Whenever I walked over to them, they stopped laughing but only burst out again.

“What is so funny?!” I asked giggling as well.

“Um…nothing.” They both said in sync with each other. It was making me paranoid.

“What?” I demanded. Zeke and Kaden looked at each other before laughing again.

“Okay. I’ll tell you….your costume is..” Zeke grabbed my hand and tried not to laugh again. “I can’t tell her. You tell her Kaden”

“Fine. Tanya, your costume is falling apart and you can see your whole back. Your wig is lopped sided…” Kaden burst out laughing. “It’s just so funny!”

I placed my hands on my hips. “Alright you two. You should’ve told me earlier!” With that I got out my wand and transformed into a nurse. “There we go.” Zeke and Kaden nodded in approval as we began to dance.

A slow song was emerging. I put my arms around Zeke’s neck as we began to sway to the music. Kaden tapped on my shoulder and put out his hand. “May I have this dance, Delacour?”

Zeke looked at him awkwardly. “Bro, I am going to dance with my maiden on the first song. You need to go and find someone else, okay?”

I shrugged. “Sorry Shadows. Maybe next song.” I said, trying to keep the peace.

As the hours passed, Dumbledore got on the stage to make announcements. “I would like to congratulate everyone on their efforts during the tournament. Hogwarts is so fortunate to have such bright and strong students. This Masquerade Ball is a celebration and a night of fun and entertainment. With that being said, I would like to invite students up here to sing if they please. “ Nobody volunteered right away so he began to make his selection. “Ah, Delacour family…with your special powers…” Dumbledore then winked. “We all know that beautiful voices lie in your throat. Please don’t use that voice tonight to seduce us all.” He chuckled.

I looked around the room, trying to spot out my family. I walked toward the stage and noticed that none of the rest of my Delacour’s were coming with me. Oh well.

“I guess it’s just me then…Hello everyone. I am Tanya Faith.” I waved. “I sing every year and you’re probably getting tired of me but this year, I wanted to do something a little special.” I looked back at Dumbledore and grinned. He shook his head in amusement. “I don’t know where Alana, Jazmine, Fleur, or Gabrielle is but this is for you ladies.”

Everybody wonders and some people know.
I guess that I’m some people cause baby it shows.
When will you do it? What will you go?
If you’ve decided then deliver the blow.
The way you walk around me.
The way you talk around me.
You act so speechless you got nothing to say….

As I looked around the room, I saw all the men being enticed with my voice. Like the Sirens of the Sea, veelas could be Sirens of the land. Only people immuned to my powers wouldn’t be seduced. This included all the women along with Zeke and Colin. Every other male seemed to be looking at me and watching my every move. Dumbledore always got a kick out of me doing this every year.

As the night went on and my veela spell was broken, the dance was over. Everyone seemed to have a good time but I was ready to go to bed.
