"We've been sitting on this train for hours!" Daphne complained, trying to get comfortable in her seat

"Well, we'll probably arrive soon" I said laughing

Daphne and I were on the train on our way to London. We were going to Diagon alley to buy dresses for the fall dance that were in 1 week. Daphne and I were wearing casual outfits. She was wearing black jeans and a pink sweater and I was wearing black skinny jeans with a white sweater. Her blonde hair was in a high ponytail while my brown hair was down in curls.

I was nervous for the fall dance.

One; it was my first school dance and I don't want to embarrass myself.

Two; Draco hadn't asked me to the dance yet

It wasn't like he had to go with me, I knew we were engaged. But none of us chose it, our parents did. He could go with whoever he wanted, but a part of me still wanted him to ask me.

I didn't have feelings for him...

I just wanted to go with him. But if he wasn't going to ask me, I don't care what he and our parents think. If he's not going to ask me, I'm going with someone else. I'm sure someone else would like to go with me.

It had been 1 week since the night with Draco when we stayed up 'talking'. He hadn't spoken a word to me since then, he would come to bed around 1 am and in the great hall he didn't say a word. In classes he would sit back in the room, alone and quiet. He was being an ass and ignored me for no reason.

"Belle?" Daphne said, making me snap out of my thoughts, she was sitting in front of me swirling her blonde silky hair between her fingers. I hummed letting her know I was listening "Adrian asked me to the ball"

"That's great Daph, I'm so happy for you," I said, smiling at my best friend. I knew that she had a crush on Adrian Pucey

I wonder if Graham Montague was going to the dance ?

I haven't seen him since the party, weeks ago.

Daphne and I continued to talk on the train until the train rolled onto the platform.

We walked into a beautiful dress shop. It was small and really really beautiful. We took small steps looking around the shop. There were dresses everywhere. We walked further in, when suddenly a small old woman appeared in front of us.

"Hi sweetheart" she said in a sweet, high pitched voice "are you looking for dresses?"

"Yes, the prettiest and most expensive dresses you have " Daphne said excitedly ".. ball gowns"

The woman walked further in, we followed her through the shop and into another room. There were beautiful ball gowns hanging there in the room. Daphne took my hand and dragged me into the room.

"I will leave you here, If you need anything just ring on the clock and I will come and help you" the old woman said in the same sweet, high pitched voice "such beautiful girls" she murmured  before walking away

Daphne ran towards the pink section and started searching for a dress. I went over to the other sections where the colors black, white and green were. I could her Daphne gasp when she was looking for dresses.

"Belle! In thirty minutes, grab the prettiest dress you've found and let's go try them on! " I could hear Daphne shout to me from the other side of the room, over by the pink section.

I went over to the black section and grabbed a beautiful black gown with glitter details on it, it was like a princess type of dress and it had black lacy sleeves. I liked it.
