We headed down to the ball, with our mates or partners, oh and Harry. When I walked in to see how much fun everyone was having and how beautiful the hall looked just amazed me so much that I was stuck and speechless. It was so beautiful and I guess we made the right decision with the decoration.

Professor McGonagall came towards us and she looked almost in tears, "Thank you guys, you have made the Great Hall look phenomenal. This ball is amazing and it is all down to you six."
"Thank you, Professor, but Harry also help set up with us as well other who helped made this possible. Oh, also watch out for mistletoe as it has been enchanted." I said with a slight warning at the end.
"Still thank you for planning this wonderful event." We all nodded and as McGonagall left to allows to enjoy our evening.

I headed up to the stage before the Weird Sisters took the stage. "Good evening everyone. I hope you are already enjoying yourself this evening, I do need to introduce some people but first have have two things to do. First, this evening is dedicated to those who are not with us after the war. This is us living for them, this is us recognising and thanking them for their sacrafices that made us able to live in freedom. This is for them! Please enjoy yourself now, I introduce the entertainment for the night and a surprise for everyone. Please welcome the Weird Sisters." Everyone had started claping before I had even finished saying their name. I waited for the applause to stop to say the surprise," The Weird Sisters has agreed to help me those sing a song to celebrate all those who were lost during the war who helped make the world we live in possible." Once I finished I nodded to Myron Wagtail, the lead singer of the band, who started playing the music so I could sing, Goodbye my friend by Linda Ronstadt.

Oh we never know where life will take us
I know it's just a ride on the wheel.
And we never know when death will shake us
And we wonder how it will feel.

So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the time together through all the years
Will take away these tears

It's OK now...
Goodbye my friend

I see a lot of things that make me crazy
And I guess I held on to you
I could of run away and left
Well, maybe...
But it wasn't time we both knew

So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the love you gave me through all the years
Will take away these tears

It's now...
Goodbye my friend

Life's so fragile and love's so pure
We can't hold on but we try
We watch how quickly it disappears
And we never know why

But I'm OK now
Goodbye my friend.
I can go now
Goodbye my friend.

After finishing the song, I wiped the tears that fell down my face from reminiscing and then said, "Live for them. They would want to to be happy and live. Now please enjoy the rest of your evening."
"Thank you Hermione, now I hope you like the song 'Do the hippogriff.'"

We danced the rest of the night away spending time with family and friends reminiscing about the good times, the funny times and the embarrassing times.

"Harry do you remember the time that we got caught sneaking out by Neville?"
"Yeah you frozen him then apologised cause he fell quite hard." Harry, Gin, Neville, Luna, Dray, Bay and I all chuckle. "Mione how about the time you soccer punched Draco right in the nose and called him... Oh what was it?" Harry said trying to remember as best he could. "I called him a vile loathsome evil little cockroach." I stated. "Yeah and it bloody well hurt too. Bloody hell even remembering it hurts, how on earth did you learn to punch Mia?" Draco asked mostly confused but also curious. "I might have took a self defense class during a summer camp before starting Hogwarts and my well more like a brother to me wanted to make sure I could protect myself a wizard might not expect me too." I replied to Dray.

All in all I don't think the night could have gone any better.
