Scars 🗝 Fred Weasley

25. The Winter Ball

She paused for a second and studied the back of the red head and nibbled the inside of her cheek.

He didn't tell her he was coming.

Then she stared again she shouldn't get her hopes up it could be Ron it was probably Ron they all looked the same from the back.

Then another red head appeared aside him they were the same she bit her lip; it was probably him why didn't he tell her he was coming?

She wasn't mad just surprised.

She grinned then shook her head.

She started slowly walking over cautious not to roll her ankle when a flash of purple caught her eye she turned around and a few feet from her was Blaise Zabini wearing bright purple dress robes.

He was so extra.

It was amazing.

Nott and Malfoy whee beside him wearing regular dress robes and Hermione was also there in her beautiful pink dress, it was sleeves and the skirt was layered with tool making it flow every time she made a movement.

Constance smiled and walked over to them.

"I see we have decided to be extra tonight Blaise" she grinned and they all turned around.

"Merlin" Theo said.

She laughed, "are you ok Theo?"

"you look stunning Constance" Hermione beamed at her giving her a hug.

She blushed.

"I don't look as good as you though"

Hermione smiled.

"ok what the fuck happened" Blaise asked.

"what do you mean?" she asked blinking at him.

"I saw you about three hours ago with books, boys' pants, fluffy hair and slumped shoulders but now you are some sort of blue cloud goddess"

She blinked again, blue cloud goddess what did that mean?

She snorted, "Blaise I thought we were focusing on you, our little grape of the evening"

Blaise completely ignored the comment which was completely unlike him.

The familiarity was slipping.

Her finger twitched.

There where so many people here.

"people are going to be drooling over you Swallow, then put you and Granger here together and your going to be knocking people over" Theo had an amused expression on his face.

"where have you been anyway?" Draco smirked.

She rolled her eyes.

"obviously tuning into an ancient artefact, you twat" Blaise spat.

"actually, Parkinson was pounding at my face, prodding my ears and pulling my hair then I was talking to Krum who seemed very very interested in Hermione's where about" she lifted a brow to Hermione who flushed.

"did you say Parkinson?" Draco cocked his head blank expression.

"yes, I helped her pick a dress and she helped me with this" she gestured to herself.

"that is strange, Pansy helped you" Theo snorted.

"oh, don't worry I was accustomed to lots of verbal abuse" she said dramatically.

"well we better get you over to Ginny she kind of a little irritated and worried" Hermione smiled at her.

"oh yeah Hannah mentioned that"
