SPECIAL DISCLAIMER: I still do not own the Hex Girls, nor do I own their song. I make no money from mentioning them. I also do not own Draco's costume (it belongs to Jim Henson's family) and I do not own the costumes of Ginny, Hermione, Luna, and Daphne. They belong to the lovely Liana, of Liana's Paperdoll Blog. I make no money from the mentioning of any costumes.

A/N: Now, some of you may remember Harry's highly volatile bad reaction a few chapters back. And I'm sure you're all wondering about the end of the last chapter. Here you'll get the explanation for both! I trust you'll all be pleased, but let me know how happy you are by reviewing. Also, at the end are some links to pics of the kids costumes (some of them, anyway) and to a video of The Hex Girls singing. Happy reading! ~ FA

~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry admired Draco's costume as they headed towards the Great Hall. He was wearing skin-tight shimmery black leggings, black knee-high boots, a white shirt with a cascade of white ruffles at the neck, a shimmery black coat, and an eerie black mask with horns (attached to a stick like traditional ones) that looked like some sort of demon or goblin. His hair was fluffed up and out (and lengthened for the night)to resemble a mane. Harry thought he looked absolutely delicious.

They entered the Great Hall and Harry was immediately surrounded by people admiring his costume. He wore black leather pants that were laced loosely up the sides, showing off his legs, a black, mesh, long-sleeved shirt that showed more of his shimmering golden skin, chunky black goth boots that came to his knees and buckled over the laces, and a spiked collar. Over all of this, the Veela robes were hanging in tattered strips of shredded fabric. Harry's wings were no longer pure white, but were temporarily dyes so that they were streaked black.

"What are you?" Pansy asked breathlessly. Her orange-and-brown dress stopped daringly short and looked like it was made of two giant maple leaves. The top was a corset-style that revealed the swell of her breasts and she had orange glitter dusting her skin and hair. She sported a maple-leaf themed half-mask and a pair of magical wings that looked like a monarch butterfly's.

"The Morningstar." Harry replied. When everyone looked confused, Harry laughed. "Muggle religion - Lucifer, during his fall from grace as the most beloved of all angels. He was called The Morningstar."

After explaining his costume, Harry and Draco stepped onto the dance floor (there was an eerie waltz playing - The Hex Girls would start playing at 9pm) and Draco swept Harry into a graceful dance. Harry found it much easier than he had in 4th year; Draco was good at leading. He enjoyed spinning around in Draco's arms. It made him feel like the world had narrowed down to the two of them and no one else.

After a few minutes, Harry felt confident enough to look at the other dancers. Luna was sporting an elaborately-scaled dress - it was mostly green, though there was a panel of vibrant orange as well - small green wings, a spiked green tail, and a green half-mask. After a few moments of studying the beautiful ballgown, Harry realized it was designed to look like a dragon and he smiled. She was dancing with Blaise, who was dressed in a blue tunic, silver leggings, black leather boots, and chainmail. A knight, Harry guessed, since he had a sword strapped to his back. A knight in love with a dragon...how cute.

Ginny's costume caught his eye next as they whirled past her. She was watching the dancers from a spot just off the dance floor, surrounded by some of her friends and sipping punch. Her dress was black, with flames climbing the full skirt and creeping over the bodice and up her elbow-length sleeves. There were puffy white 'smoke' panels above the panels of brilliant orange flame and it gave the appearance that she was on fire. Her mask - a whole face mask, rather than a half-mask - was white white, with a single blood-red tear on her right cheek. It made her look mysterious. Her bright hair was piled into artful curls atop her head. She looked radiant.

"Granger looks nice." Draco's soft voice had Harry's eyes snapping back to his dance partner. "She's near the doors." Draco added.

Harry's eyes went to the doors and, sure enough, there was Hermione. Her ballgown was a deep, vibrant blue color. It's overskirt was a paler blue that seemed to shimmer and flow, like water and seafoam in a tidepool. It was studded with hundreds of thousands of crystals that glittered like drops of water in the sun...or starlight reflected in a pool of water. It's sleeves were off-the-shoulder baring white skin, a slim throat encircled by a silvery-blue colored ribbon, and a soft swell of breast. Her hair was pulled back from her face - which had a shimmery blue half-mask dripping crystals on it - and hung in long, loose waves nearly to her waist.

Harry's heart ached at seeing her. She was standing alone, and looked heartbreakingly beautiful, and she should have been on Ron's arm. As Harry had the thought, Ron walked up to her. Harry held his breath, hoping Hermione would behave herself - if only for tonight.

Ron was dressed the same as many of the guys, who were far more lazy then the girls about their "costumes". He wore a simple black suit (it had been Bill's once) with a black satin domino cape and a simple black half-mask. He said nothing; he spoke not a word to Hermione. He simply held out his hand and waited. She hesitated for a second, looking worried, then placed her gloved hand in his. He swept her into his arms and onto the dance floor and the longing on Hermione's face was clear to see. Harry smiled sadly - she really did love Ron and if she could just accept that Harry loved Draco, everyone could be happy.

"Let's sit down." Draco said softly and Harry followed him to one of the many small tables surrounding the dance floor. When they were sitting, Draco asked. "Are you okay with Ron dancing with Granger?"

Harry nodded. "Yes. I wish I could dance with her, but it would turn into a fight and ruin my night." He smiled, leaning into Draco's side and nuzzling his neck. "I'm happy Ron's dancing with her, though. They really do love each other. I know it doesn't seem like they do right now, since they're not speaking and all, but they do. I know this is hard on both of them. I hope 'Mione can get over this eventually so they can be together."

Just then a pale, blonde Slytherin girl named Daphne Greengrass appeared. "Hello, Draco. Can I have a dance?" She was dressed in a black-trimmed white dress that stopped in scalloped edges about half-way down her thighs. The top was laced like a corset, with a square neckline edged in black ruffled trim. It had long sleeves, also edged in black ruffles, and she had white bat ears perched on top of her head. A white half-mask with black piping outlining it, white thigh-high stockings (also trimmed in black ruffles), black Mary Jane style high heels, and small white bat wings (also outlined in black piping) completed the sexy-yet-adorable costume.

Draco looked at Harry and waited. "Just return him to me in the same perfect condition he's leaving in." Harry said with an indulgent smile. He was in a fabulously good mood and feeling generous.

"But of course." Daphne smiled and hooked her arm through Draco's to head towards the dance floor.

The night went on much the same. Someone would approach, stealing one or the other of them away for a dance or two, then return them to each others company. When they weren't dancing with others, they were dancing together or sitting and watching their friends dance. Draco returned to their table after a dance with Ginny, carrying two glasses of punch. As he got closer, he was amused to hear Harry singing along to the son The Hex Girls were singing. His voice was a bit off-key and a little scratchy sounding, but it wasn't unpleasant.

Harry caught Draco's eye as he put the drinks on the table and sang. "With this little cobweb potion, you'll fall into dark devotion. If you ever lose affection, I can change your whole direction."

"You're crazy. You know that, right?" Draco said, laughing as he sat and sipped his punch.

Suddenly Harry sat forward, his eyes riveted across the room. Draco followed his gaze and spotted Sev, wearing a black suit, domino cape, and half-mask. "What's up, Harry?" Harry ignored him and he noticed another man - similarly dressed - approaching his godfather from behind. Harry's eyes were glued to the second man. "Harry, who is that?"

"Shhh!" Harry shushed Draco in an annoyed voice. "I'm trying to watch!" Draco rolled his eyes but stayed silent, turning to watch Sev and the unknown man again.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Severus Snape was surreptitiously keeping an eye on Draco and Harry while chaperoning the teens partying. He was tempted to intervene with some of the grinding going on, but really, why bother? He was more concerned with making sure no one spiked the refreshments, which had been attempted several times already. Suddenly he felt hands grabbing his hips and a tall, toned body pressed against him from behind. He stiffened as a hot, wet tongue licked his neck and his body reacted. Surely it hadn't been that long since he'd gotten laid, that he'd react to a stranger's touch?

Just as he closed his fingers around his wand, a heartbreakingly familiar voice growled in his ear. "Miss me, Snivy?"

With a desperate, strangled cry Severus spun around. Despite the half-mask on his face, Severus would know those blue eyes and that boyish grin anywhere. He stared, stunned, for a moment. It couldn't be...could it?

"Siri?" He whispered, his throat tight. The man nodded and Severus reached up, touching the slightly taller man's cheek softly. "Is it really you?" He didn't blink, terrified that if he did the man before him would vanish.

"Yes, Sev'rus, it's really me." Sirius smiled wider, though his voice remained soft and soothing. "Our Pup spent the last month and a half figuring out how the Veil works so he could bring me back. For you."

With another choked scream that was half-sob as well, Severus Snape threw himself into the waiting arms of Sirius Black. As their mouths met in a passionate kiss, Sirius lifted Severus up off the floor. Sev locked his legs around the other man's waist, not caring that the whole school was watching in stunned silence. The Dark Lord himself could have been standing there and he wouldn't have cared. His whole world consisted of Sirius Black's mouth on his and his arms supporting him as he carried Severus from the Great Hall. Nothing else mattered more than the man he loved and had thought he'd lost forever. Nothing ever would.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Draco watched in confusion as Severus was pulled back against the unknown man. He saw his godfather stiffen, heard him scream, watched him whirl around and tenderly touch the other man's face...Okay, he was officially lost. The two men seemed to speak to each other for a moment, then Sev screamed again and literally threw himself at the man. As everyone watched their Potion's master being passionately embraced - and carried off - by another man, Draco's eyes dropped to Harry. His bright eyes were damp and he was smiling happily.

"Harry," Draco asked cautiously, his mind reeling. "Was that Sirius Black?" He knew of only one man who could have illicited that reaction from Severus. When Harry nodded, he demanded answers. "How? I mean, wasn't he...and now he's...but how could...?"

Harry laughed, turning to face the blonde. "The Veil is a Djinn creation. Djinn are ethereal. They created it as a gateway between the Otherworld - where they're trapped unless summoned by a witch or wizard - and our world. The Otherworld is also where human souls go, but it's a different part. When Siri fell through it, his soul didn't end up in the Otherworld, he did. Body included, just like the Djinn. So I figured if the Veil was built so the Djinn could come back without being summoned, then I could use it to bring Siri back. The only problem was that the Djinn never could make the Veil work the way they wanted it to, so I had to keep trying over and over again. Twice I got him through only to have him sucked back in moments later, but I knew I could make it work. Today, I succeeded."

"It that why you've been so temperamental?" Draco asked, shocked. Harry blushed and nodded. Suddenly Draco had a thought. "So why aren't you spending time with him? I mean, you spent all that time getting him back and he just ditched you?"

"I spent a little time with him before he had to go sign some shit with the Ministry and stuff, but it's fine. I didn't bring him back for me anyway, Dray." Harry explained in a soft voice. "I brought him back for Sev'rus. He needs Siri, like I need you. I couldn't let them be apart; not when I realized I had the power to bring them back together."

Draco stared at Harry in silence. He knew the Gryffindor boy was telling the truth. It was obvious, simply from how happily he'd watched the reunion between Sirius and Severus. Harry had lied to him (claiming to be at more lessons with Fleur) Merlin only knew how many times, stressed himself past his breaking point, dragged a person back from the Otherworld...and he'd done it for Severus Snape. Harry was brave and generous and sweet and loyal and loving and...oh sweet Merlin...

"Harry?" Draco said softly, his silver eyes wide and gleaming in the candlelight. He touched Harry's cheek lightly when the other boy looked at him questioningly and said, softly but with utter conviction. "I love you."

~*~*~*~*~*~
