Slughorns Ball
Chapter 15
Marlene wore a white dress that was shoulderless and poofy from the waste down.The first layer if the dress was a solid,poofy white.The second was a this white see through fabric that wrapped around mummy style.Marlene walked downstairs to find Lily in an emerald green dress that matched her eyes. "So where is this taking place?" Marlene asked. "Hogwarts." "But you can't apparate into Hogwarts." Marlene said confused.We're apparating to the entrance then taking a carriage." Lily said holding out her arm. Marlene took it and they apparated to the entrance and hopped in a carriage.
Once they arrived Marlene opened the carriage door to find none other than Benjy Fenwick himself holding his hand out. Benjy looked around and then dragged Marlene somewhere they couldn't be heard or seen. "What in Merlin's beard are you doing?!" Marlene shrieked. "You're going to be my date to this ball." He said threateningly. "Says who?" "Says me." "Why should I turn up with you?" Marlene asked. "Because if not I will throw Black in his rightful place." "Where?" Marlene asked rolling her eyes. "Azkaban." All the color drained from Marlene's face. He noticed and whispered in her ear,"Coming with me or not?" "You really should've been put in Slytherin." Marlene said taking his hand. They walked into the castle. As soon as they entered Marlene yelled "Bella!" And Bellatrix walked over with a glass of butterbeer in her hand. "Oh.Benny." Bellatrix said in disgust. "Reggie told me about him.Ill take him from here." Bellatrix said grabbing the Ravenclaw by his hair and pulling him away from Marlene. Marlene Smiled at the sight and saw Sirius out if the corner of her eye.She walked over to him. "Hey Paddy." Marlene said. Sirius was talking to James. James looked offended a bit."You know I call him that." James said. "Sorry Jay." Marlene chuckled. "Sirius you betrayed me mate!" James said astonished and laughed. "Sorry mate." Sirius laughed and James punched his friends shoulder and went to find Lily. Sirius stared at Marlene with a sort of hurt look. "Why'd you walk in with the nerd over there?" Sirius asked nodding to Benjy. "Sirius it wasn't my choice." "Did he threaten you?" Sirius asked glaring at Benjy. "Yes but.." Sirius cut her off,"What did he say?" "He would throw you in Azkaban." "He can't do that.Can he?" Sirius asked tilting his head. "His dad is the Ministers assistant." Marlene said. "Oh.Ok." They just stood there awkwardly for a moment. Marlene held out her hand."Like old time?" She asked smiling. Sirius smiled and pulled her into the center of the dance floor. They danced for a bit until Hermione walked over and said she needed to talk to Marlene. Marlene followed Hermione to a table. "Marlene someone named Lavender Brown traveled to this time as well." Hermione said. "Ok?What's she got to do with me?" Marlene asked. "She sort of took Sirius's brother out and well she might've snogged him." Hermione said scrunching her face. Marlene looked sick. "How long ago was that?" "About 4 minutes ago." Hermione said. "I'm going for a walk." Marlene said getting up to leave. She left the castle and strolled around the forbidden Forest. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a disturbing sight. Apparently Lavender had not stopped. Regulus looked dead. He was shoving and fighting to get away from her.Marlene brought out her wand and aimed it at Lavender. "Levicorpus!" Marlene shouted. Lavender went flying away from Regulus. Marlene dove behind a tree. "Who's there?" Regulus asked gasping for air. He creeped into the forest. Marlene went a little deeper into her hiding spot and crouched down. Marlene heard something snort from behind her. She slowly turned around to see a hippogriff barely 2 feet away. "Hey nice and easy."Marlene whispered. The hippogriff did not like her in his space.The hippogriff rose on his hind legs and kicked Marlene back. She fell down and struggled to get away and stay hidden from Regulus. Marlene lifted her dress off the ground and ran from the hippogriff. She dove behind a bush luckily unnoticed by both the hippogriff and Regulus. Marlene was breathing heavy. She closed her eyes and assumed that whatever was going to happen next she was going to let it happen.
Before she knew it Marlene had woken up she assumed thirty minutes later to find herself behind the bush. What time was it? Was Regulus done searching? Marlene stood up against a tree to keep her balance. Her feet started to hurt from her shoes so she took them off. The ground was cold since it was November. Marlene shivered a little bit and then strolled around the school grounds. She only had one year before she would leave Hogwarts. She sighed at the thought and walked to the carriages. There weren't any left so she assumed the ball was over. She sighed deeply and decided to walk to the gate. She hadn't really had a chance to see how beautiful the entrance was since she was always rushed. She smiled as she climbed a tree to get a better view. She always enjoyed seeing the black lake from a high view.She climbed down and walked out of the gate and apparated back to the Orders base.
