The Yule Ball had beenofficially announced, and Hogwarts was now abattleground of hormonal chaos. Boys werenervously asking out girls, girls wererejecting them with dramatic flair, and Raja... well, Raja was sitting in thelibrary, contemplatingthe meaning of life.

Raja (muttering to himself):"Who in their right mind would ask the Chaos Lord to a dance?"

He hadtwo choices:

Avoid the ball completelyand spend the evening solving the mystery of the golden dragon egg.Embrace his inner agent of chaosand invite someone sounexpected, the school wouldnever recover.

Before he could decide,Dobby popped into existence, holding two fancy envelopes.

Dobby (grinning):"Lord Raja has invitations from two most esteemed ladies!"

Raja, who hadnever expected this outcome, opened the letters withshaky hands.

👀One was from Fleur Delacour.

👀The other was from Daphne Greengrass.

🔥🔥🔥"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL?!"🔥🔥🔥

Raja, ever the gentleman, decided tohandle this delicately. He couldn't just say no—that would make him an enemy of two powerful, beautiful women. Instead, heinvited them both for tea.

Dobby, ever the dramatic butler, personally delivered the invitations.

Both girls arrivedat the designated meeting place,confusedto see each other.

Daphne:"You got an invite too?"

Fleur:"Oui... what is 'e up to?"

Before they could question further,Dobby appeared in a full tuxedo, took aportkey,slammed it into the door, andgestured them inside.

As soon as they entered—they froze.

They were in amagical jungle. Unicorns, rabbits, exotic birds,even a hippogriffwere casuallychilling under a massive tree, whereRaja sat with a book in hand, looking like a mysterious prince from a fairy tale.

🔥🔥🔥Daphne and Fleur were mesmerized.🔥🔥🔥

Raja (grinning):"Welcome, ladies. Fancy some tea?"

Dobby, ever the professional, served them tea and an assortment of pastries.

They talked about theirchildhoods, their interests, their dreams, and for thefirst time in their lives, they found themselves genuinelyenjoyingsomeone's company without political games.

Finally, Raja gotto the point.

Raja:"Ladies, I'm honored you both invited me... but I must respectfully decline."

🔥🔥🔥SILENCE.🔥🔥🔥

Daphne & Fleur (simultaneously):"WHAT?!"

Raja (nervous laugh):"I already have a partner in mind."

The two girlsstared at him in disbelief.

Daphne:"Who is she?"

Fleur:"She must be extraordinaire for you to refuse us!"

Raja (smirking):"You'll find out at the ball."

The mysteryonly made them more intrigued.

The girl had so much fun in the garden; they played with magical animals for some time and talked about magic and alchemy and everything and left to their Dorms.

Before leaving, Raja invitedDaphne and her sistertomeet him after the ballfor something important.

🔥🔥🔥Now they were even more confused.🔥🔥🔥

The Yule Ballkicked off in grand fashion. The hall wasbeautifully decorated, students were dressed in theirfinest robes, and the atmosphere waselectric.

Fleur and Daphne scanned the room, looking for Raja.

👀No sign of him.

👀 Not at the Slytherin table.

👀Not at the entrance.

👀Nowhere to be found.

Then—Malfoy struck.

Malfoy (sneering):"Where's your Chaos Lord? Did he finally realize no girl would dance with him?"

🔥🔥🔥The gossip spread like wildfire.🔥🔥🔥

The studentssnickered. Even some professorslooked curious.

Daphane and Felur couldn't take it anymore as their new friend was being disrespected.

Daphne (irritated):"Raja declined my invitation because he already had a partner!"

Fleur (annoyed):"Oui, moi aussi! He said he would reveal 'er at the ball!"

🔥🔥🔥Now the entire school was on edge.🔥🔥🔥

And then—

💥💥💥DOBBY BURST INTO THE ROOM.💥💥💥

Dobby (booming voice):"Presenting... LORD RUDRA D. RAJA KUMARA AND HIS MYSTERIOUS PARTNER!"

The doorsswung open dramatically.

Raja walked inwith the poise of a king, wearinga stunning royal ensemble of black and gold.

🔥🔥🔥But it wasn't Raja people were staring at.🔥🔥🔥

It washis partner.

👀 Themost elegantgirl in the entire ballroom.

👀 Themost graceful,poised,mystifyingwoman Hogwarts had ever seen.

Sheradiated class, herevery step was mesmerizing, andher dress was nothing short of perfection.

Theboys forgot to breathe.

Thegirls were seething in jealousy.

Then, in the back of the hall—

💥💥💥DUMBLEDORE BROKE HIS WINE GLASS.💥💥💥

Snape, who was drinking, choked.

Snape decided to punish Raja severely for bringing a non-magic girl to the ball, but Dumbledore gestured him no to act and disturb the Ball.

🔥🔥🔥WHO WAS SHE?!🔥🔥🔥

Dobbytook over as conductorand led theorchestra into a majestic waltz.

Spotlights centered on Raja and his partner.

And then—they danced.

Forfive straight minutes, the entirehall stood still.

Theirgrace, theircoordination, theirfluid movement—

🔥🔥🔥"THIS WASN'T A DANCE—IT WAS A MASTERPIECE."🔥🔥🔥

When it ended—

💥💥💥DUMBLEDORE CLAPPED FIRST.💥💥💥

The entirehall followed, erupting into applause.

Themystery girl, lookingshy, turned to leave.

As she reached the door—

💥💥💥Raja spoke.💥💥💥

Raja (smirking):"Thank you for being my partner tonight... Professor McGonagall."

🔥🔥🔥DEAD. SILENCE.🔥🔥🔥

👀Every professor spit their drinks expect Dumbles.

👀Students screamed, "WHAT?!"

👀Dumbledore has a smile like a old grandpa.

👀McGonagall nearly tripped.

🔥🔥🔥"RAJA HAD DANCED WITH MINERVA MCGONAGALL?!"🔥🔥🔥

Snape (whispering):"I need... to lie down."

Fleur and Daphnestared at Raja in shock.

🔥🔥🔥THE SCHOOL WOULD NEVER RECOVER.🔥🔥🔥

And with that, Raja (feeling proud of his new Age decreasing potion) simplywinked at the chaos he had created... and walked awaylike the king he was.
