It was the day of Christmas Eve. Jill, Olive and Sage had been cooped up in their dorm all day, refusing to leave for any occasion. They spent the entire time getting ready, doing their hair and make up.
"I like the fancy hair and make up with the silk robe." Olive admired herself in the mirror. They had decided not to put the dresses on until a little before the ball. "Should we put on our heels, add a little extra flare?" Jill joined her in the mirror.
"Jilly, come back and hold the hand mirror up for me." Sage pouted, and Jill returned to her. "You look stunning, Sage. Harper won't be able to get enough of you." Jill complimented her. "Or Cedric, poor Cho won't get a glance from him tonight." Olive giggled.
"You flatter me." She smiled kindly. "You both look absolutely breathtaking. It's a shame you have to waste your time on Graham, Jilly." She frowned. "He doesn't deserve you." Olive agreed. "He's been kind of sweet.. As of recently.." Jill blushed.
"How long do we have?" Sage finished applying her makeup. "An hour." Olive squealed. "Can we put on our dresses now?" She pleaded, and they all agreed. (You can imagine whatever dress you'd like, I don't want to choose one for you in case you don't like it hahaha.)
(Pretend there's a super long and in-depth description of your chosen dress here)
"It's decided.. We're angels." Jill nodded. "I agree." Olive nodded as they finished getting dressed, now in their full outfits. "I'm not very good in heels, though." Olive frowned at her feet. "Rowan will have to get used to you leaning on him all night. You're so clumsy, Olive."
"I hope I don't trip and fall." Olive pouted. "I'm nervous." Sage frowned. "I still haven't talked about how i'm going with Harper to Cedric. I'm going to have to pretend that I didn't know that he knew that I was going with Harper. Or else Cedric will know I was avoiding him."
"Boys are complicating." Olive sat down. "I know, and they think we are?" Jill scoffed. "I'm excited to see Athena. She's going with Draco Malfoy, though." Sage frowned. "I filled her in on the whole situation."
"I'm just nervous a fight will break loose during the ball. We can't have Cedric ruining your night with Harper." Jill rolled her eyes. "If you need us, call immediately. We will escort Cedric from the premises if required."

An hour passed until the girls were ready to leave their dorm and reveal themselves to their dates, who would be waiting at the ball. "What if they're still in the common room. We can't have them seeing us until we get to the ball." Sage stood in front of the exit to their dorm, debating her next move.
"I'll check. My date isn't a Hufflepuff." Jill pushed to the front of the line, opening the door and peering outside. "Well?" Olive urged her. "I can't see, hang on." Jill stepped out of the dorm, scanning the common room. "The coast is clear, quick." They dashed out of the dorm, hurrying down the stairs.
Sage had to hold Olive up all the way out of the dorm, seeing as she still wasn't used to her heels. Even after practising how to walk in them for the past hour, Olive still couldn't stay up right for more than five paces.
"How am I going to dance in these heels?" Olive groaned as they hurried along the corridor, on their way to the ball. "I hope it's decorated nicely." Jill skipped excitedly along the corridor, until they arrived at the ball.
"Do we just.. Do we just walk over?" The three girls peered anxiously around the corner, where everyone was lining up to enter the ball. "I think so.. You go first." Jill pushed Olive first, and she tumbled to the ground.
"Oops... Sorry, Olive, I forgot about the heels." She helped Olive up. "Let's just go.." The three girls walked anxiously forward, pausing in front of the staircase. At the bottom, Sage could already see Graham, Rowan, Harper and Cedric. Cedric with Cho Chang.
