"I've got nearly everything. What about you Charles? How's things on your end."
"I've got the food, drinks, and decorations for the party," I told her taking off my top hat and reaching inside to take out two pink cupcakes with a large amount of white frosting and heart shaped sprinkles, "by the way, I suggest you don't eat to many of these."
Daphne was the first to reach for one, taking a huge bite, "Mmmm these are good."
Eric also took one, "Huh, they are pretty tasty."
"What about the other thing," Daphne asked while licking the frosting off her fingers.
"That was harder, but I managed to call in a favor from a kid at the orphanage," I said, reaching into the hat again.
I took out an old movie projector and a film reel.
"Will this really work?" Eric said skeptically.
Daphne turned to me, "Charles?"
"I've modified it, so it should work even without electricity," I told them, "The real difficult part will be the timing. The party will serve as a distraction, but the rest will be entirely up to you."
"Just two more days," Eric said nervously.
-----------
As expected, it didn't take very long for news of a party to spread throughout the school.
The entire student body was buzzing with excitement.
The days leading up to the part were filled with hormone driven teens running around the school trying to get ready.
Daphne the ever opportunist had wisely bought a large number of cosmetics from me before the news had fully spread and had been selling it to the other girls at an increased price.
I'd done something similar.
"Thanks mate, you're a lifesaver," a fifth year Ravenclaw said, bringing me into a hug and clasping me on the back, before running out of the small broom closet.
I rolled my eyes and shouted for my next client.
"Next."
This time a Third Year Hufflepuff came in looking extremely nervous, "Ummm, I-I heard th-that y-you ummm?"
I took out a plastic jar filled with fresh condoms, "5 Sickles."
"I-I'll take t-two," he said red-faced.
Looking at myself in the mirror I inspected my appearance. I had chosen to wear a black three-piece suit and some dancing shoes. Grabbing some mousse, I slicked my hair back to fully expose my face.
Looking around, I could see the others getting ready. Terry and Anthony were wearing some casual clothes, just simple dark pants and a button up shirt. The only one that wasn't ready was Michael who was reading a book on his bed.
"Aren't you going," Terry asked while tying his tie.
"No. Why would I?" the pessimistic Ravenclaw responded.
"Dancing, girls, food," Anthony chimed in, using a cloth to shine his shoes.
"Can't dance, no girls like me, and I've just had dinner," he said, ticking off fingers.
"Well you should still go, the whole point is to make memories, both good and bad. Who knows, you might even be pleasantly surprised by the end of the night," I said, adjusting my tie.
"Urggghhh, fine," he said getting up, "Does anyone have any extra cologne?"
I tossed him a bottle, and turned to the others, "Well I'm going to go on ahead, see you guys later."
"That's fine."
"Cool."
"Hmm."
Leaving the Ravenclaw Tower I made my way to the fifth floor where the music room was located.
I noticed Daphne standing by the entrance wearing a green dress and black shoes, her hair was curled and she was wearing just a bit of makeup.
"My, you clean up nice," she said walking to me.
"I do, don't I," I said arrogantly, getting me a playful shove in return.
Walking inside I saw that the room had been slightly expanded, probably to fit everyone. There were some round tables set up in one corner of the room with white and red tablecloths. A stage had been set up with musical instruments charmed to play by themselves. An area had been cleared for dancing and one long table had been set up against one of the walls with different types of snacks.
"Just out of curiosity, but how much have you earned so far," I asked.
"Taking out all of the money, I've made a profit of 13 Galleons," she answered back.
"I told you holding this party to make up the difference was a good idea," I told her. I glanced at my pocket watch, "We should probably start letting people in, or else they will start to riot."
"I'll say, even those in my house were pretty excited, Snape especially," Daphne commented.
"Snape?"
"Yes, you should have seen him during Potions with the Gryffindors, just waiting for someone to mess up and give them detention. I think I even caught the ghost of a smile as he was passing in the hall with how everyone would run away. Even those Weasley twins have been on their best behavior in class."
"Huh, so that's why things have been so peaceful."
-----------
"Do you want to dance?" a Third Year Hufflepuff asked me.
"Sure," I said, walking away from my group and leading her to the dance floor where a number of couples were already dancing.
I placed a hand on her waist and took the other hand. Despite me being 2 years younger than her, we were roughly the same height.
The music was slow enough, where we could just sway at a reasonable pace.
After a few more minutes of this we finally parted ways. I'd been dancing for the majority of the night, as the girls found me both cute and approachable due to my age.
Looking around I noticed someone at the food table and made my way over.
"Hello Granger, didn't expect to see you here," I greeted the smaller witch, causing her to jump and turn around.
She wasn't wearing any make-up but had made some attempts to tame her hair with a simple braid. She had on a pink sundress and white shoes.
"Ch-Charles," she stuttered out, "h-hello."
