Hermione's POV
We were in the Great Hall. I was beginning to worry about Harry and Belle. Gracey was also worried.

"Where are they?" Gracey asked, worriedly.

"Don't worry. They'll be here in a minute." said Ron. I looked at Ron.

Is he even worried? I thought.

"Will. You. Stop. Eating?" I said while hitting him with my book.

"Your two best friends are missing!"
"Oi! turn around you lunatic." said Ron.

I turned around and saw Belle and Harry.

She was helping Harry.
"He's covered in blood again." said Ginny.

"Has Harry always have been covered in blood?" Gracey asked.

"Looks like it's own this time." said Ron.

Gracey's POV
Harry and I sat down and Hermione was worried. Belle sat with Ron.

"Where have you two been?" she asked.
"What happened to your face, Harry?" I asked.

"Later." said Harry.
"Did we missing anything?" Belle asked.

"Sorting Hat urge us all to be brave and strong in these troubled times. Easy for it to say, huh? It's a hat, isn't it?" said Ron.

"No duh, Ron." Belle said in sarcasm.

Harry was still bleeding, so I grabbed another napkin and helped him wipe the blood.

"Thanks." he said. I smiled and Dumbledore made his announcement.

Isabelle's POV
"Very best of evenings to you all.  First off, let me introduce the newest member of our staff...Horace Slughorn."

We clapped.

"Professor Slughorn, I'm happy to say has agreed to resume his old post as Potions Master. Meanwhile, the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts...will be taken by Professor Snape."

"Snape?" Some students started to whisper.

What a shock.

The whole Slytherin clapped. I just rolled m eyes.

But I spotted Draco. He looks bored. But I kept my eyes on him.

"Now, as you know...each and everyone of you was searched upon your arrival here tonight. And you have the right to know why. Once there was a young man, who, like you...sat in this very hall...walked this castle's corridors, slept under its roof. He seemed to all the world a student like any other. His name? Tom Riddle."

Students were mumbling.

"Today, of course...he's known all over the world by another name. Which is why, as I stand looking out upon you all tonight...I'm reminded of a sobering fact. Every day, every hour...this very minute, perhaps...dark forces attempt to penetrate this castle's walls. But in the end, their greatest weapon is you." he said.

I looked at Draco again. He hasn't moved from his position.

"Just something to think about. Oh, and one other thing. This Halloween, we're having a Masquerade Ball. Every girl and boy must wear a mask.
Now, off to bed. Pip-pip." said Dumbledore.

Gracey's POV
"A Masquerade Ball? Sounds fun." I said.
"I wonder what for though." Hermione added.

"I don't know, but it's going to be awesome." I said, smirking.
"What are you smirking at, Gracey?" Hermione asked.

I looked around and Belle was nowhere.

"I'm planning something for Belle and Draco." I whispered.

"You mean...getting them back together again?" Hermione asked.

I nodded. "Yeah. I mean...I hate seeing Belle like this. She cries every night in her sleep."

"I agree." Hermione agreed.

"So, what's the plan?" she asked.

I smiled and whispered the plan into her ear.

"That's perfect." she said.
