Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Dumbledore's Niece ❯ february ball part II ( Chapter 10 )

~*February Ball Part II*~

Uni got her broom out and headed downstairs to go to the Quidditch Field. She felt lie flying around just for fun. She had jeans and a black sweater with tennis shoes on. It was going to be cold, she knew. Her hair was down so it could cover her ears and keep them warm for a little while. Uni walked downstairs and saw few students finishing homework. Tomorrow was the Valentine's ball and she knew it. With everyone off, she would have to be careful not to be caught by Hotaru, Michiru, and especially Serena.

"Where are you going?" Malfoy asked, coming from behind her, interrupting her thoughts.

"Out to the Quidditch Field," she replied. Pansy, who was one of the students finishing their work, saw Malfoy and Uni talking. A rage of jealousy overtook her and she marched over to them with a plan in mind. As soon as she reached them, she grabbed a hold of his arm and gave Uni a dirty look. She looked at the jealous Pansy with amusement. Malfoy looked down and saw Pansy. He immediately tried to pry her off, but no such luck.

"Get off me, Parkinson!" he growled.

"you can call me Pansy, Draco," she said in an oversweet manner. "After all, we are boyfriend and girlfriend." Uni snickered at this. "And when are you going to ask me to the ball, Draco?" Pansy pretended to put and cross her arms.

Malfoy stared disbelievingly at the girl before him. 'Are…you…KIDDING!!?' he screamed in his mind. Uni had been trying to hold in her laughter by putting her hand over her mouth to keep it shut. Alas, a giggling sound came out, anyways. Malfoy glared at her, but thought how she was even more beautiful when she was laughing. Pansy turned towards Uni, hands on hips.

"What's so funny, Shields?" sneered Pansy.

Uni cleared her throat, with a grin clearly on her face. "Well, Pansy-baka, it's just hard to imagine you and Draco dating, let alone him asking you to the dance."

"I'll have you know I've gone on plenty of dances with Draco!" growled Pansy. Malfoy watched on the side, interestingly.

Uni smirked. "Maybe. Demo you probably made him come. Either that or you were the only girl left and he didn't want to go without a date."

Pansy glared at Uni with hate. "That's not true! Besides, I do hope you aren't hoping that he will be asking you to the dance!" she nearly shrieked.

"Oh, no!" said Uni, smirking, proud of her work, pretending to be shocked. "That can't happen! Not only do I despise balls, demo he's going with you, correct!?"

"Right on!" said Pansy, missing the sarcasm in her tone. Malfoy shook his head due to her lack of smarts. "I mean it's only right since he's already kissed me."

Uni raised an eyebrow at this new information. "He kissed you?"

Pansy smirked, proud that she knew something Uni didn't. "Yes, he did."

'Well, aren't we miss big-pain-in-the-butt' thought Uni sarcastically. Then, an idea popped up in her head. It was an excellent idea even though it did require Malfoy to help and act.

"Well, I don't know why you looks so happy," said Uni, "If you think that just cause he kissed you, he has to go with you. He can go with me also."

"And why's that?"

Uni raised an eyebrow and thought 'How dumb is this girl!'

"Because I kissed her also," said Malfoy, seeing Uni's annoyance. Pansy did something unexpected. She fell on the ground with a thud. She had fainted. Uni just stared at her disbelievingly. Well at least she didn't have to go through her idea after all. Malfoy also looked down at Pansy, but in an angry, annoyed way.

"…How exactly did she get in Slytherin?" asked Uni

Malfoy shrugged. "Trust me, I've asked myself that many times."

Uni shook her head and turned around towards the door once again. Malfoy looked around and saw he had nothing to do, so she followed her out. He had his cloak anyways, so he might as well.

Once he reached outside, she immediately mounted her broom and flew off into the air. Malfoy rolled his eyes and summoned his own broom, a Nimbus two thousand and two. He flew after with a little difficulty because her broom was very fast. When they reached the Quidditch Field, he lost track of her and looked around.

"Why are you following me?" asked a voice behind him. He turned around in surprise, and found Uni there behind him on her broom.

"You left before I could ask you something?" he replied, nonchalantly.

She raised an eyebrow and looked behind him, smirking. Uni flew past him, knowing he would follow, towards the three goals. She stopped a few feet away from them and waited for Malfoy. When he arrived, she said, "Since you're a seeker on your Quidditch team, I'll let fly the golden snitch and also the bludgers. If you find it before I do, you can ask me. If you can't, then you can't."

Malfoy raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Fine."

She returned the smirk and placed a hand in her jean pocket. She pulled out her hand, revealing the snitch. She released it and then whistled. Very high pitch sounds could be heard in the distance. Something grazed his ear with a whistling sound and he saw it was a bludger. Uni had released them with a whistle.

Seeing she had gone off to find the snitch, he set off to search for it also. He noticed that instead of two bludgers, there were twice as many. Malfoy dodged them easily and his eyes searched for the golden snitch. He noticed Uni high above him, also looking for it.

Then, he spotted the snitch and flew over to get it. Uni saw him going for it. She immediately went after him, catching up to him quickly. He was right ahead of her and was concentrated on getting the snitch before her. Being so distracted, Malfoy failed to notice bludgers on either side, coming at him. Uni sped up and pushed him off. Ashe quickly descended to catch him as the bludgers met and smacked into each other.

"You should watch it next time," she advised him as they landed. His broom was still high in the air and the bludgers had gone rogue once again.

"But I have the snitch, don't I?" he smirked, holding out his hand.

Uni groaned. "I don't believe this…ok, what?"

"You're going to the ball with me," he said, crossing his arms. Malfoy had said it more like a demand then a question.

"I am not," she responded with an icy tone and putting a hand on her hips while the other hand swung lazily on the side. "Besides, who are you to tell me wether I go or not?"

Malfoy smirked. "The promise you made me of course. I've come to collect it by making you go with me."

Uni glared at him. She mounted her broom, leaving him on the Quidditch Field alone as she floated away towards Hogwarts. Malfoy could hear a faint "FINE!" in the distance and his smirk grew wiser with satisfaction.

"I can't believe we couldn't get to Uni!" whined Serena. "That's a first too!"

"But at least you have Harry to look forward to," said Hotaru, giggling and resting her elbows on the table. She was sitting on the floor, on her legs. Serena was sitting on a couch across her, Michiru and Haruka on the floor also on either side of the scout of silence.

Serena blushed at Hotaru's comment, causing her guardians to laugh at her. She scowled, but then started to giggle slightly as she thought about Harry. Soon, the girls headed upstairs to their dormitories to get ready for the ball starting in three hours.

Haruka wore a dress robe of dark blue and gold edges around the cuffs and bottom of the robes. The collars of the robes were outline by the signs of her planet, Uranus.

Michiru also had a dress robe on. It was aquamarine and edges were dark blue. The signs of Neptune outlined the collar of the robes. She had the earrings she wore as Sailor Neptune on and a golden necklace around her neck.

Hotaru had a dress on instead of a robe on. It was a dark purple dress with spaghetti straps. It reached to her feet where she wore one-inch heel, strapped shoes. The dress flew down smoothly the lower it became.

Serena was wearing her Neo-Queen Serenity dress, but without the wings and tiara. She also had a golden necklace around her neck and a good luck charm bracelet with a crescent moons and stars. Her hair were up in her usual way, but had small hints of silver in them.

"Serena-hime, you look so beautiful!!" cried Hotaru.

"If Harry doesn't drop dead when he sees you," said Haruka, through reluctantly, "It tells us that he may be gay."

Serena blushed and Michiru scolded her cousin. Soon, they went down to the common room to join their friends, but in Serena's and Hotaru's case, their dates. Hotaru was going with Neville and Harry, of course, was going with Serena.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"I can't believe this," grumbled Uni. "…Should have never agreed…why did I say that…suck a baka…"

Uni put a silver chain around her neck and got up to inspect herself in the mirror. She had a black spaghetti strap dress on with slightly high-heeled shows. The bodice of the dress ended with a V end and the rest flowed down. She had silver star earrings and she had her hair down. After brushing it, it was kind of wavy like Michiru's hair, but not quite. She had put a little lip gloss on and she had a bracelet similar to the one Serena wore, except it was stars instead of crescent moons.

Uni sighed exasperatedly as she picked up her black cloak and tied it around her neck. "Guess it's time to face the music…"

She went downstairs and as she expected, Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle were waiting for her at the bottom of the girls' stairs. What she didn't expect was Pansy Parkinson holding tightly to Malfoy's arm with a frown on her face.

"About time," scowled Malfoy, "I was about to leave."

"Then I guess I should have taken longer," mumbled Uni.

"A deal is a deal," said Malfoy, somehow managing to cross his arms while Pansy was holding on to him. Uni rolled her eyes.

"Well, it seems you're set on going to the dance with Parkinson, so I'll be going, bye!" she said quickly and headed towards the door to leave.

But Malfoy managed to make Pansy release him and ran after Uni. She gave out a yelp and slammed right into Malfoy. "Where do you think you're going," he growled, "You're coming with me."

"But I don't want to go!" she whined.

"Too bad you already agreed," he said and dragged her outside. Crabbe and Goyle followed them leaving Pansy in anger.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Harry couldn't stop staring at Serena. She noticed after a while and was blushing pink, though she didn't really mind all that much. She couldn't quite keep her eyes off him either. He wore what looked like his best dress robe. Haruka cleared her throat loudly causing the two to look away from each other, blushing. Hotaru gave out aloud giggle. Neville gave a nervous chuckle. He still couldn't believe Hotaru was his date!

The group reached the Great Hall and was about to enter when they heard voices behind them. "Don't touch me! I'll go, but don't you dare lay a hand on me!" they heard a familiar voice shout.

"We're suppose to look together!" shouted another familiar voice.

"You never said that! All you said was I was going with you!"

"Well, now I am! Now give me your hand!"

"Iie!!" There was a pause and then, "Itai! Let go! I said let-…"

There was silence. Harry and the others silently wondered what was going on now. Then, Haruka said, "I know who that was! Uni-hime!"

Michiru gasped. "You're right! Who was the other one then?"

"I'd know that voice anywhere," growled Harry, "Malfoy."

Everyone looked at each other and at the same time, ran to where they last heard them shout. Haruka was grumbling as they ran, saying something like, "IF he hurts Uni-hime, I'll make sure he can't reproduce ever again!"

Michiru scowled, though she was thinking along the same line. They turned the corner and gasped. They were appalled and shocked at the same time.

Malfoy was kissing Uni! She didn't seem to be responding to some people's disappointment, (Serena and Hotaru) but seemed to be beyond mad. She was struggling to break it, but Malfoy had one hand behind her head and one arm around her waist making it impossible.

Haruka growled and went over to Malfoy, prying him off the hime. Malfoy wasn't fazed a bit by Haruka's glare, nor Uni's He had expected her to be angry, maybe, but he wasn't ready for her to slap him right in the face. Slap! Her face looked murderous. Harry and Neville's and even Haruka's jaw dropped when she did. Michiru , Hotaru, and Serena's eyes widen in shock. Malfoy gave her a questioning look and an angry look all at the same time.

"I told you not to touch me! Why won't you get it!" she screamed and stomped off towards the Great Hall.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"What's wrong, Uni?" asked Dumbledore as he stepped up to her. She had stormed in the Great Hall, where it was full of students already, having a great time. He had requested her to come since she was his niece and all. So, she had to come anyways.

"What's wrong!?" Uni nearly shrieked, "Does everyone in this school always kiss others randomly! Answer me that first, then I'll tell you."

"Now, now. Calm down," he said calmly, "Take deep breaths."

Uni glared at her uncle and did as she was told. She breathed in and out to calm herself. "I'll be outside," she mumbled. Dumbledore nodded and went in search for Professor Trewalney about something. He had a weird sense that something had happened somewhere.

Outside, Uni was on the balcony, leaning on it and looking up in the night sky. This soothed her even more and made her calm. One hand reached up unconsciously up to her neck and grasped the silver chain. On the chain was a locket in a shape of a star. It was her transformation locket, but she had shrunken it so it was easier to carry. Uni tangled her fingers on the chain and she began to hum a random song.

She stopped and took a deep breath. Then, suddenly, she heard the music from the Great Hall stop playing and the lights went out. Uni turned around and ran back inside the castle. Teachers had lit up their wands and were making sure everyone was all right. Then, a loud scream was heard.

"Silencio!" shouted Michiru's voice.

"Oh my Kami! Is he alright!" asked Serena frantically.

Whispers among students began to rise. Uni looked around. She couldn't see anything. Something had happened and she wanted to know what. "Flagerate!!" she shouted, throwing her hands up in the air. The torches around the Great hall lit up with fire, making it possible for everyone to see. Again, whispers broke out. Uni walked through the crows until she saw her uncle, McGonagall, the scouts, Hermione, the Weasleys, and Malfoy surround a particular boy.

Harry was clutching his scar and was screaming, which was silenced by Michiru's spell. Uni stopped in her tracks as a sudden pain appeared in her head. Her star insignia appeared on her forehead and her eyes fazed out. Images flashed in her head of girls in sailor fukus, a man, and a dark shadow. The pain became intense and a scream of pain was released from her mouth. She fell to her knees and her hands clutching her head.

Dumbledore rushed to her and put the silent charm as Michiru had done to Harry. He spoke to her softly in her ear, saying, "Just relax and let it come. It is less painful." She did as she was told.

Before passing out, she looked at Malfoy give her a worried look. 'Why?' was the last question in her mind before falling in the darkness.
