“You've got to love Harry's sheer nerve for calling us Bints, because he's got to know that he's going to get slapped upside the head when we see him” said Ginny as the three girls walked down the plush carpeted hallway towards the ballroom.

“Maybe he's counting on the fact we won't recognize him in his costume” replied Luna as she linked arms with Ginny.

“Costume, Schostrume I'd know that cheeky little sod no matter what he looked like” stated Hermione.

“I wonder who's dressed as who?” asked Luna

“I bet you a sickle I can point out my brothers within five minutes of us walking through these doors” said Ginny grinning as she pushed open the door to the ballroom.

“A sickle? you're o-” Hermione stopped mid speech as she realized everyone in the ballroom was staring at them. “Oops it looks like we took longer getting ready than I thought” she whispered under her breath causing the other two girls to snigger.

“Okay you Super-freaks our newest arrivals go by the name of the Jean Grey the beautiful Telepath from the X-Men” they were joined at the door by the Riddler and the Joker who apparently were that evenings compares “And over here is the Lovely, Luscious and perfectly in bloom Poison Ivy, and let me tell you, she can get her fingers dirty in my bed any time.”

Luna just smiled and blew them a kiss, and Ginny whispered in her ear “That's Fred and George you know.”

“I know, although I prefer them when they look the same, this is good as well” Luna whispered back, smiling at Ginny's look of disgust.

“You're a sick, sick bunny you know that Lovegood?” retorted Ginny causing Luna to smile even more.

The Riddler and the Joker began to circle Hermione “My, Oh my what a pretty kitty” said the Joker

“Riddle me this, Riddle me that, Who is this mysterious hot pussy cat?” rhymed the Riddler.

Hermione gave them a rather feral grin and ran her bullwhip lovingly through her fingers “Boys don't you think you should get started with the entertainment?, otherwise I may have to neuter you for the good of society”

The Riddler turned and nodded at the Green Lantern who was in the DJ booth, and on receiving his cue he turned the music up and the other guests started dancing.

“If you lunatics will excuse us there's a bar over there stocked full of drinks with our names on it” said Ginny and the three girls turned and walked over to the bar leaving a trail of tongues lolling out their wake.

“Okay Gin, where are your other brothers?” asked Hermione while Luna ordered them drinks.

“It's easy I tell you” she said in between sips of her Screaming Orgasm. “Over there dressed as Wolverine and Sabertooth is Bill and Charlie, and talking to some body dressed as the Punisher is little Ronniekins dressed as Superman.”

Hermione snorted “Ron as Superman? the only thing steel like about him, is his stomach” she looked over in Ron's direction and her eyes narrowed “However the Punisher over there is our adorable savior, so if you'll excuse me for five minute I'm just going to have a quiet word in his ear”

“See you on the dance floor in a bit hun” Luna said and the girls parted ways.

Hermione deliberately walked round the edge of the dance floor staying out of Harry's eye line, till she was right behind him, putting a finger on her lips to warn Ron to be silent “What did you call me earlier Harry?” she said in a deadly quiet voice.

“Oh! Hermione I didn't hear you sneak up on me, I didn't mean it honest, Draco told me to say it” he gave her big puppy dog eyes “Do you forgive me?”

She resisted the urge to roll her eyes and just smiled at him “Honestly it's a good job I like you Harry otherwise you'd of been called Harrietta long before now.”

“So Ron, any reason for the Superman look? As I had you pegged as more of a sidekick” a blond male dressed as Archangel from the X-Men said as he joined their little group.

Ron who'd matured a lot since school just shrugged as he said “Yeah well, in a well known survey Superman ranked as the third sexiest superhero and as I neither qualify for Gambit or Batman”

Hermione choked on her drink causing Harry to pat her on her back “What survey is that Ron?” she inquired after she could talk again.

“It was in a recent edition of Wizarding Gamer Review” he said giving her a puzzled look before continuing “As I was saying as I'm neither dark and brooding or flashy and charming, so I went with the next best thing, Superman and look at the ladies checking me out!” He flexed his muscles at two girls across the room who were dressed as Starfire and Harlequin causing them to giggle and wave him over. “Score! looks like I'm in there, later Harry..., oh and Hermione try not to eat Bird Boy, otherwise Harry might get upset” Ron finished his drink and Supermanned his way across the dance floor.

“Bird Boy my foot! I'm the Archangel couldn't the stupid lump tell by my illustrious feathers and wing span?”

“I don't know Draco, you're blond with feathers he probably thought you were Tweetypie” Hermione quipped.

Draco scowled as Harry did a very a very good Tweety impression “I tawt I taw a puddy cat, bad ole puddy cat picking on poor Draco”

“Actually Draco, I thought your costume choice was inspired, Your character is a rich boy turned evil by a megalomaniac obsessed with peoples genes, only for him to be a hero again when it mattered, the part was almost written for you” Hermione said looking over at Ginny and Luna who were calling her over.

Just as she started to wander off, Draco caught her by the arm and whispered in her ear “He's here you know” before letting her go and turning back to Harry.

Hermione let those four little words play over and over in her head as she danced with her friends “Oi Hermione we're doing Vodka jelly shots, do you want one?” asked Luna offering her a red jelly in a shot glass.

“Thanks Luna” she said taking the offered jelly, quickly stirring the cocktail stick around the glass to loosen the jelly she tipped her head back and let the jelly slide down her throat. She was just licking the bottom of her glass when she felt the intense gaze of someone staring at her.

“Here try a alco lollipop, it's from the twins new range aimed at the seventh yrs at Hogwarts” shouted Ginny she gave Hermione a strawberry flavored alco lollypop.

Popping it in her mouth Hermione turned and saw a dark caped figure leaving the ballroom and for some strange reason she felt the urge to follow it “Girls I'll be back in a mo okay?”.

“Sure hun, I'm just about to go and find the the hunk dressed as Cyclops I need to know who he is and it looks like Luna's busy already” Hermione looked over and saw Luna with her tongue down the Riddler's throat.

“Well that didn't take long now did it?, I'll see you back here shortly, right go have fun?”

“You too” said Ginny smirking at Hermione's expression “Oh please, I know you're going after the dark mysterious figure that's just left the room, who by the why has been watching you for the past ten minutes, Well what are you waiting for an invitation?..Go enjoy yourself.”

“Thanks Gin” Hermione swiftly left the ballroom in search of her mystery man as she closed the doors behind her, she found the hallway deserted “Blast where did he go?” she thought.
She was just debating to head further down the hallway when a hand closed round her upper arm and she found herself being yanked backwards into a partially hidden alcove, stumbling slightly as she turned round she put a hand out on a wall to steady herself only to realize that it wasn't a wall but somebody's firm chest.

A/N: Ducks the pillows being thrown her way.

There will be more I promise, but I had to stop somewhere otherwise the chapter would be far to long and just to prove how much I love my avid readers and reviewers I will leave you with a little teaser.


He stroked the side of her face with gloved finger “Such a curious kitty, didn't you know curiosity killed the cat?” his low sensual voice was familiar to her but she couldn't quite place it was almost like Severus's.

Okay please review and feed my starving plot bunnies. :D

Much love
