The Yule Ball

"Yeah." Elrohir agreed "It's so strange." He kissed her hand softly then bowed and followed after Maik

Sonia and Descartes watched the two leave.

Elrohir looked sideways at Maik as they left and opened his mouth to say something.
"NO." Maik cut him off
"But you..." Elrohir tried
"NO!" Maik said more firmly
Elrohir gave up and looked around the grounds. "Where's the portkey?"

Descartes sighed. "she's beautiful."

"I agree she's pretty." sonia said.

"So who was your friend." Descartes asked going into big brother mode and arched an eyebrow.

"Is that it?" Maik asked, pointing at a rock "Or was that it?" she indicated an old boot.
"It's the boot, isn't it?" Elrohir suggested hopefully "You were supposed to remember!"

Rhia and Harry beemed a their handywork as Hermione and Ron reluctantly walked out onto the dance floor. Morgan and Andrew turned to Harry and Rhia, saying, "Now u 2 have 2 dance!"

"It was the boot." Maik decided. The two of them picked it up and vanished into the night. Seconds later, they reapeared just outside of the ministry of magic.

Harry laughed, then looked uncomfortably at Rhia. "Is she serious?" Rhia chuckled hollowly. "Morgan's not kidding. BTW, u did ask me to dance." Harry blushed, and shrugged, out of habbit glancing over to c Cho Chang who was dancing with a strange boy with blonde hair. "Come on!" Rhia grabbed his arm and dragged him away.

Maik glared at Mr. Fudge, imagining a multitude of nasty things to do to him. "No Mr. Fudge, I didn't find the letter. According to my sources it's been destroyed. And without that evidence, I can't build a case against the Huberts, can I?"

Sonia's parents stood in their cell. Her dad held her mom hugging him tightly.

"Destroyed? What sources?" Fudge demanded
sources? That one girl...Rhia or something......
"My sources wished to remain anonymous, Mr.Fudge." Maik replied. "The letter has been destroyed. I have no case, Mr.Fudge."
Fudge seemed dissapointed, but he couldn't argue. "Very well, but at least bring in the son and the daughter for questioning. See if they had anything to do with the letter being destroyed."

Sonia and Descartes sat out in the garden's hidden by the shrubbery. Descartes was currently sketching while his sister set litle flowers on fire bruned them then extinguished them.

"He wants us to bo BACK to Hogwarts?" Elrohir said in disbelief "We just left!"
Maik finished putting her signature on a piece of parchment and muttered something nasty. She put a glob of blue wax on the parchment to seal it shut, then pressed her ring into it, leaving the imprint of a dragon. "This is such a waste of my evening."
They left the ministry and took the portkey back to Hogwarts to begin their search for the two Huberts.

Rhia pulled Harry across the floor, trying to make him dance. Morgan, Andrew, Hermione, and Ron were all laughing helplessly, seeing the look on everyone's faces as the waltzed past. Ron ran over, clutching his sides with mirth. "Harry, mate, just dance! it won't kill u!" "Well, Ron, I think Hermione's waiting, then. Let us use u as our test subject." Rhia pointed out bitterly. Morgan nodded. "Yeah, Ron, do as u said." Hermione poked the blushing Weasley in the stomache. "What's the matter, Ron? afraid of the dance floor?" She asked innocently.Ron blushed furiously, then detirmined to prove her wrong, grabbed Hermione, and danced. This time, Morgan, Rhia, Harry, and Andrew were laughing.

(((DO they know who the huberts are, Maik?)))

By this time Sonia was dancing with her brother. Her hand in his as they twirled almost magestically.

Elrohir poked Maik in the ribs as they surveryed the dance floor. "So..which ones are them?"
Maik shrugged and looked around "I"m assuming they look like their parents, Elrohir. Just find them that way."
"Don't they have NAMES?" Elrohir whispered.
Maik pulled a parchment from her pocket and scanned it. "I think the daughter's name is.. Sonia. And the boy is named.." she paused for a moment. "Descartes."

Descartes led Sonia outside so they could walk around the grounds. He like his sister hated crowds and only tolerated them when necessary.

"How do we find them then?" Elrohir asked "We don't know what they look like."
Maik scowled at the parchment, trying to decide what to do. "We'll just have to ask around, I guess."
She started grabbing random people and asking them if they knew the Huberts.

About the sixth person she grabbed was Courtney, "Yes, ma'am. Sonia and Descartes HUbert. I think they're around the great lake."

"Thank you. Could you describe them for me?" Maik asked, getting slightly impatient. Elrohir pulled the parchment from Maik's pocket, looked it over and frowned. "Why did you bring this?" he whispered
