She was going to win this game, she was going to have fun while doing it all at the same time, she couldn't wait to see the looks on their faces. She couldn't wait to dance in excitement and be free like the birds that fly high in the blue sky. 

*********************************************************************************************

Inside the Slytherin common room Morgan has the golden egg in hand, high above her head, people around her were cheering as the twins lift her onto their shoulder. All around were chants of 'hail the Slytherin Queen!' She laughed loudly as they shouted. This was an atmosphere she loved, this was a family around her cheering for her victory and it wasn't fake this time, it was genuine. Though she couldn't help but think to prank them all with the egg.

"We knew you wouldn't die Morgan." George says to his little sister, happy with her victory, he was glad though that his sister was safe.

"Lose a leg." Fred suddenly says catching her attention. Morgan laughed as she remembered when the twins did this to her the first time. 

"Or an arm." George continues a cheeky grin now on both twins faces.

"Pack it in altogether." Fred says next before both say.

"Never!"

Morgan laughed loudly at them, before being placed on her feet, giggling as they tickled her sides. She loved this feeling she loved being around the people who actually cared about her. She loved all of them for making her feel at home. 

"Come on Morgan, what's the clue?" Daphne asks with a brilliant smile on her face. 

"Who wants me to open it? You want me to open it?" She asks everyone getting ready to open the egg. Everyone around her cheers in excitement, their eyes wide wanting to know what the challenge would be. She opens the egg, and a loud horrific screech comes out, everyone cries in shock covering their ears as Morgan quickly closes it again. Wincing softly at the pain in her ears now. She had forgotten how annoying it was.

"What the hell was that?" Draco asks shaking his head. 

"I'm not sure?" Morgan questions frowning at the egg in her hands. She looks at the twins who see the look in her eyes. "But I'm going to figure it out, one way or the other." She stated.

It was the next morning and Morgan was watching as Professor Slytherin stood before them he looked intimidating as he stared around the room. "The yule ball has been a tradition of the tri-wizard tournament since its inception. On Christmas eve night we and our guests gather in the great hall for well-mannered merriment. As the representative of the host school, I expect each and every one of you to put your best foot forward, and I mean this literally because the yule ball is first and foremost... a dance." He said to the quiet room, all of the students paid close attention to the man.

Groans though emerge from the boys who are listening on. The girls seem a lot more excited. Morgan included, Slytherin saw the excitement in her eyes, he wasn't sure why he felt this feeling in his chest of pure happiness, it was strange. "Silence. The house of Salazar Slytherin has commanded the respect of the wizard world for nearly ten centuries. Well, what little we have left unfortunately. I will not have you in the course of a single evening besmirching that name, my name." He says glaring at all of them.

"Now to dance is to let the body breathe, inside every girl a secret swan slumbers longing to burst forth and take flight." Slytherin says to the group. "Inside every boy a lordly lion prepared to prance. Miss Shelby, will you join me." Slytherin says to the girl.

Morgan smirks and goes over to him; she now smiles softly as he looks at her. "Now, I will place my right hand on your waist." He says as she then places her hand atop his shoulder, she then has her hand taken in his. "Severus, the music please." Slytherin says to the dower man. 

It didn't take long for the pair to dance beautifully around the room, Morgan was as Slytherin said like a graceful swan, everyone in the room smiles watching the two, Daphne giggling with the girls as she watched her best friend dance with her soulmate, it was just sad that he didn't know about Morgan. About their connection.

When the pair had finished dancing, Morgan curtseyed to the man before deciding to dance on her own, she twirled around the area her hair flying free around her as she pranced around. Morgan hadn't danced in so long; she couldn't help but dance around the area. The girls in the Slytherin house giggled before instantly standing and walk forward, the boys are all still seated. But they smirk and stand going over and asking the girls to dance. Morgan took to dancing with both the twins, the two lifting her up as they had decided to learn a bit of her dancing style, they wanted more than just pranking to be something in common with their sister. They actually took on a lot of her hobbies, as she did the same as them.

"Morgan." George called before whispering in her ear. Giggling loudly, Morgan skipped over to the gramophone, she waved her wand before turning to face the twins. "Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly. Lavender's green. When I am king, dilly, dilly. You shall be queen." She sings gently as she dances with the twins once more. "Who told you so, dilly, dilly. Who told you so?" She sang as she twirled. "'Twas mine own heart, dilly, dilly. That told me so."

Twirling around the room she had a serene smile on her face, she felt so free. 

"Call up your men, dilly, dilly. Set them to work, some to the plough, dilly, dilly. Some to the fork, some to make hay, dilly, dilly. Some to cut corn. While you and I, dilly, dilly, keep ourselves warm." She crooned as she twirled on her toes, ballet coming in handy. "Lavender's green, dilly, dilly. Lavender's blue. If you love me dilly, dilly. I will love you. Let the birds sing, dilly, dilly. And the lamb's play. We shall be safe dilly, dilly. Out of harm's way." She croons as George lifts her up. She giggles but continues to sing. "I love to dance, dilly, dilly. I love to sing. When I am Queen dilly, dilly. You'll be my King. 

"Who told me so dilly, dilly. Who told me so? I told myself dilly, dilly. I told me so." Finishing the song, the three bowed to everyone smiles all around. 

The room was filled with laughter and pure happiness, it was a sight to enjoy. Morgan was all smiles as she and her friends left the room, all chatting together smiling through everything no bullying could stop their happiness.
