Authors Note: Okay so I added a song from the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire soundtrack that was playing at the Yule Ball. You can play it now but I recommend playing it later on in the chapter so it matches the storyline. I will let you know when to play it ;) Anyways...happy reading!

The few days following up to the Yule Ball felt like a fever dream. Nothing felt real.
Butterflies were constantly swarming in my stomach, I was going to explode with excitement.
"Boys" I muttered to myself as I was laying down in my dorm..."You either love them or you hate them."
Hermione walks in..."Up! Up! It's time!" She shouts. Tonight was the night....the Yule Ball.
Hermione was in a rush as always. She had the whole night planned out to the minute. She was really excited to go with Krum, I saw the way her eyes glistened.
I rolled myself out of bed and tiptoed across the cold floor towards the bathroom. It was almost 2:00 pm, I slept in all day.
Hermione insisted on getting ready now...the ball was at 6:00 pm. She knows how long it takes for us to do our hair, especially since our hair is so damn curly.
We spent the remaining hours getting ready with Ginny. It was 5:30 and we were already leaving our dorm towards the Great Hall.
Ginny wore a very lighted tanned dress. It flowed out and was almost above her knee. It had lots of tulle on the bottom which made it puffy. The top was silk and had light white roses sewn onto it.
It came with a see-through tan cover-up. Her hair was down with slight curls at the bottom.
Hermione looked stunning! That dress was made for her. It fit her so perfectly and went so well with her complexion.
Hermione's hair was up with a few curls let down on the side. She wore small pink flower earrings that went so well with the dress. She seemed so happy. She and Ginny.
My dress fit like a glove. It made me feel so special. The way the gold caught the light was beautiful.
My hair was let down, with 2 braids on the top side of my head connecting around the back. My white gloves were a nice touch.
I grabbed onto my pearl necklace...I'm happy but something just doesn't feel right.
All three of us walked into the Great Hall, peering down the steps. Yes, we were excited but we were also nervous.
We were way out of our comfort zone, well at least I and Hermione were.
Ginny just strolled down the steps towards Neville like nothing. Oh, we admired her confidence.
Hermione and I looked at each other with nervous smiles. "Well...Go on." I told Hermione.
She furrowed her thick brows and nodded her head. She slowly walked towards the top of the stairs. She met eyes with Krum, he was mesmerized.
She gracefully walked down the steps towards Krum. He wasn't the only one under her spell...Harry was breathless. He looked so proud of her.
I looked over to Ron and he was practically drooling.
Hermione grabbed Krum's arm and looked up with her big smile. She waved and walked through the doors to the Yule Ball.
I was working up the confidence to walk down, I didn't see Cedric yet so that gave me extra time to gather my nerves.
Then I started wondering where he was.
I walked over to the top of the steps to see Draco with his date...Maryanne Ernest.
