Harry Potter: A Different Tale

Soon it was the day of the Yule ball, the champions were waiting outside the hall. Cedric was there with the Ravenclaw seeker, Cho Chang. Victor Krum was attending the ball with Fleur Delacour, thanks to Harry.

Adrian and Harry were each waiting for their dates to arrive. Adrian was wearing some black robes, while Harry was wearing a black muggle suit.

"Why exactly are you wearing muggle clothes?" Adrian asked Harry

"Firstly, they're more comfortable than those robes" Harry replied "secondly, they allow more movement. Thirdly they were cheaper than robes, and also to annoy people"

"Annoy people?"

"Yeah, if they're going to force me to do something then I'm going to do it my way. Imagine the look on Dumbledore and everyone else when the Slytherin arrives in muggle clothing, it'll be hilarious"

"So you're doing it just to annoy people?" Adrian laughed "What about Daphne?"

"She likes me in muggle clothing, I asked her before if it was alright, she said she was fine with it."

"If you say so, where's Rose by the way?"

"She's not coming to the ball, she doesn't feel comfortable. Oh, look, here comes our dates"

Adrian looked at the two girls coming towards them, Rachel was wearing a brilliant red dress and gold earrings. They went nicely with her long brown hair and brought attention to her thin but bright face and her chocolate brown eyes.

Harry, meanwhile, had his eyes focused on Daphne. She wore a beautiful silver dress, with silver earrings, she and Harry wore matching silver bands on their right wrists as a sign of their love and engagement. Her blue eyes were dazzling and were the only things that brought attention away from her lovely blonde hair. The girls took their partners arms and the champions waited outside the hall.

"Don't you look brilliant tonight?" Harry kissed Daphne on the cheek

"Not so bad yourself Potter" She adjusted his tie and kissed him on the cheek

"Muggle clothes?" Rachel smiled in amusement "You look good in them, but you look good in yours as well Adrian" She pecked Adrian on the cheek, causing him to blush.

"Are you all ready?" McGonagall asked "Now, when I call you, I want you all to walk in. Now…Mr Potter?"

"Yes?" Harry and Adrian said at the same time

"Slytherin Potter, what are you wearing?" She gestured to his muggle clothes

"Clothes, I hope" Harry replied "I have shoes, trousers, a shirt, tie and a blazer."

"Why are you not wearing robes?"

"Because I was obligated to come, I was not obligated to wear robes. Quite frankly, I could've come in here wearing jeans and a t-shirt and it wouldn't be against the rules so can we hurry up? I have a lady to impress and old men to piss off"

"Very well" She sighed when Harry was unaffected by her glare "be ready"

Eventually the champions walked into the hall, people began whispering and gossiping at the very sight of them.

"Is that Krum and Delacour?"

"Is that Adrian and Rachel?"

"Damn, Greengrass looks brilliant"

"Oh Merlin, Harry is so handsome"

"Is he wearing muggle clothing?"

"Why is he wearing a suit?"

"I swear, Greengrass is probably a Veela as well"

"Oh, I'm so jealous"

"Damn, he's hot"

"She's so lucky"

"Look at that smug prick"

"Lucky idiot"

"Oh, they look so cure together"

Soon the dancing started, Fleur, Cedric, Cho and Krum danced nicely. Adrian and Rachel were also great, Harry and Daphne danced together with expert coordination, leaving many people jealous.

Daphne and Harry attracted the most stares with their brilliantly coordinated dancing, they moved around the room gracefully, never taking their eyes off each other.

"The smug bastard is making me look bad" Adrian whispered to Rachel who giggled at his joke

"Yeah, well, you're not the only one. Daphne is the most beautiful girl here" She replied

"Hey, you're pretty too" Adrian replied

"Thank you" She smiled at him warmly "Oh my, look at your friends…or your former friends if you want to be accurate" Adrian looked at Hermione and Ron, while Hermione looked quite nice, Ron was wearing the most horrible robes he had ever seen.

"Sweet Merlin, those are ridiculous robes" He exclaimed
