The Yule Ball

SOnia bit her lip. "Um, can I? I mean will they allow it?"

"Of course." Elrohir smiled. "If they don't, I can allways threaten to bring Maik in." he chuckled at the thought of the look on the healer's face if Elrohir told him that.

My fault? Max thought. Does she think I'm a death eater or something? If so, she doesn't know how wrong she is. he then looked over at Caroline. "Hey, Caroline. I think we should leave while we still have a chance."
"Max. no. Let's go help Maik out." Caroline replied. Max sighed.
"Fine." he then looked to where Maik was. he noticed that she never disarmed the guy. he also recognized the man as Leonard Benedict, a very skillful death eater.
Leonard quickly pulled out his wand and, while pointing it at Maik shouted, "Avada...!"
but he never did get to finish that incantation, for Max quickly took out his wand and shouted, "Accio wand!" and Leonard's wand flew out of his hand and into Max's. Max and Caroline ran over. "What kind of Auror are you, anyway?" Max asked Maik while running over. "You should know when facing a guy as skillful as Leonard Benedict, you should make sure you disarm him, first!"
"Max!" Leonard said, sneering. "We meet again!"
"Oh shut up, thick head!" Max said, rolling his eyes. "You sound like an idiot when you say that!"

SOnia nodded. "I think I'll be fine by myself though. Thanks." she followed the healer still looking nervous.

"Well, if you're sure..." Elrohir replied. He stood in the lobby with the other Huberts, occaisonally shuffling his feet.

Maik just rolled her eyes. "The day has yet to come when I worry about facing Leonard Benedict of all people." She casually looked up at the cloudless sky "Looks like snow."

"Thanks for your help." Mrs. Hubert says.

"Uh," Max said. "Snow? What snow?"
"I will get you for this, Max!" Leonard shouted. Max pointed his wand at Leonard and shouted a spell that kept Leonard's mouth closed.
"Quit your yapping!" Max told him.

"You're welcome." Elrohir smiled "Glad I could help."

"You're one to talk about yapping." Maik said. She pointed a finger at him and suddenly a layer of ice incased the bottom half of his face. Then, just to entertain herself, Maik then made a miniature storm cloud appear above Leonard's head, which quickly began dumping huge piles of snow on him. "Told you it was going to snow."

Sonia watched the healer nervously chewing on her lower lip.

Descartes had condemned himself to a corner drawing in the air with his wand.

Caroline and Max started to laugh. "So." Caroline asked Maik. "Do we have to follow you or something? Because I don't know if we're in trouble or not."
"Don't be silly, Caroline." Max replied. "We're not in trouble." He then looked over at Maik and asked in a nervous tone, "Are we?"

Morgan gazed around. everything was hazy. one moment she was standing next to Sonia in the Ministry of Magic, and the next....."Hello?" she called. silence crept around her, and she blinked, thinking she had seen something move just beyond the shadows....

"Wake up, sleepy-do. you're going to sleep the day away, and McGonagal doesn't like that." Morgan sat up and rubbed her eyes, then shoved the crimson velvet curtens of her four poster aside to see Rhia pulling on her black robe backwards. "Rhee?" "Hmm?" "What happened? I was at the Ministry, and I was talking to Sonia, and suddenly everything was black, and then..." Rhia walked over to Morgan. "Did something crawl into your head and start eatting away at your brain, or do you start all of your mornings off with insane ranting?" she asked, placing a hand onto Morgan's forhead. "No, seriously, Rhia! How did I get up here? I don't remember comming back to Hogwarts, I was- was- Why am I here?" Rhia shoved her bronze curls behind her ear, looking confused. "You drank more than Butter Beer last night, didn't you? You were found out in the middle of the Hogwarts grounds, your wand half burried in the ground. I should be asking you what's going on."
I must have blaked out, Morgan thought, That's the only explanation to be transported back. But Why a black out? Are the others worried? Then she remembered the Ball. Oh, shoot, what am I going to say to Andrew? Morgan looked hard at Rhia. "I have to go back." "Morgan?" came a voice from the door. Rhia and Morgan turned to see Parvati looking in curiously. "Are you comming to get something to eat before class, or not?" Morgan sighed. "I guess I'll stay for now. But I want to know what happened." Morgan got dressed, corrected Rhia's robe, and the girls followed Parvati downstairs.

Maik raised an eyebrow thoughtfully. "Well, maybe you are, and maybe you aren't. I'll decide later."
She looked over the deatheater for a moment, then decided to just drag him back to the ministry and deal with Max and Caroline later.

Elrhoir walked over to Deacartes, hoping to start some sort of conversation to pass the time. "Hi."

Descartes looked up and blushed. "Hey." he said remembering this was Maik's brother.

"So... Does that mean we need to follow you?" Max asked in confusion. "Or are Caroline and I allowed to get back to our own business?"

"I just wanted to say sorry." Elrohir explained "For before. We were just doing our job, nothing personal. Not for me at least."

Maik glared at them impatiently. "Do as you please. I need to clean up this mess you've created."

Descartes nodded. "I understand." he says. "I didn't mean to loose my cool. But after the ministry took my parents, I felt like I had to protect Sonia."

"Yeah, sure." Max said, rolling his eyes. "The mess I created. If you say so. Just don't expect me to save your butt the next time a guy like leonard shouts that unforgivable curse at you. Come on, Caroline. Let's get out of here before we're blamed for something else." They both left Maik and got back to walking.
"Say, Caroline?" Max asked her while moving. "What happened to that Morgan girl before we left. she wasn't with those people she had been there with."
"Yeah." Caroline said. "I realized that too."
"Does she go to hogwarts or something?" Max asked.
"Yeah, she does. Maybe she went back there." Caroline said. "Actually, I've been trying to figure out what she was doing there in the first place."
"Hmm," Max said. "Quite interesting. does she know how to apparate, or something?"
"I don't know, but you really can't apparate or disapparate to hogwarts. or at least that's what I heard."
"Very interesting." Max said, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

"So, like I was saying, Fudge had better step down, after all of the nasty and cruel things he's done, if he has any sense at all, he'll just quit being Minister. It's always something to think about, right, Morgan? Morgan? Helloooo, is anyone awake in there?" Hermione waved her hand around in front of Morgan's face. "Huh?" she replied bluntly, blinking. Rhia shook her head. "Don't waste ur time, Hermione. She's been acting weird all morning." "Really?" asked Ron, looking up from his breakfast curiously. "Usually I'm the weird one." "You always ARE the weird one, Ron." said Harry, picking up the Daily Prophet that Hermione had abbandoned. Hermione rolled her eyes and turned to Rhia. "Do u know why she's behaving this way? It's not...normal for Morgan to just stare into space like that." Rhia shrugged. "It has something to do with lastnight. Something about Andrew, some girl named Sonia, and what she refered to as 'the others'. I honestly don't understand it."

Max had dragged Caroline for some reason to the train station and into what she remembered as 9 3/4. when they had gotten into the train Caroline asked Max something. "Uh, Max? Why are we going on this train? doesn't this lead to Hogwarts?"
"Yes." Max told her.
"Why are we here?"
"I have some business to discuss with my partner Tyrone Clark, who's in Hogsmeade dealing with very private matters. I believe you remember him. He's the black guy I was best friends' with."
"Oh yeah!" Caroline replied. "I remember him!"
"And I also need to talk to professor dumbledore. We'll be there for a couple days so I hope you have some Galleons to shop for clothes. If not, I'll lend you some money."
"But where will we stay?" Caroline asked.
"That's where my discussion with Dumbledore comes in." Max replied, smirking. "I need his permission to stay in Hogwarts for a few days until we leave."
"Really?" Caroline said, feeling excited. She hadn't been to hogwarts in a long time, and she'd love to go back there and see all the old teachers and classrooms, and maybe meet some of her younger schoolmates that she hung around with.

" I understand." Elrohir smiled. "But, what do you think is wrong with her?"

Maik almost laughed at Max. Save her butt? From Leonard? She grabbed the death eater and took him back to the ministry. Now maybe she could finally go home and get some sleep. The only problem was, were had Elrohir and the Huberts gone?
