The Yule Ball

florence pov

I zipped up my white dress and finished the last curl in my hair.

Tonight was the night.

I heard that Harry was going to the ball with Cho Chang. I'm fine with that. Totally completely fine. Why wouldn't I be? I'm going with Cedric.

I walked out of the bathroom and back to my dorm to add the finishing touches to my makeup. Until I realised I left my mascara in the common room.

Of course I did.

I made my way down the stairs to retrieve my stupidly misplaced mascara.

Hermione was already down there, completely ready of course.

I gasped as I saw her. She looked incredible.

"I-is it too much?" She asked nervously as she fiddled with her pink satin dress.

This was the first time we had spoken since I got the letter from Lucius weeks ago.

"It's perfect. You look beautiful Hermione." I said softly with a smile.

She returned the expression. "So do you Flo. Harry is a lucky guy."

I froze. "What did you say?"

"Cedric is a lucky guy."

"I thought-.....you said-.....never mind."

Am I going insane? I need to focus more.

"I'll see you there." Hermione smiled at me.

"Yeah....see you there, Mione."

I miss talking to her everyday. I really do.

I grabbed my mascara from the arm of the couch and made my way back upstairs.

I applied my mascara to the gold and brown eye look I did earlier and then finished my makeup all off with some strawberry lipgloss.

I looked over to my bedside table and saw the heart locket Harry had gotten me almost a year ago today. I hesitated for a moment, before clipping it around my neck. It was the finishing piece to my look. I took a final look in the mirror before heading out.

Breathe.

I can do this.

I walked down to the entrance of the Yule Ball. Since Cedric is a Triwizard champion, we have to wait a little while longer to walk in with a special entrance.

I peeked around the corner and saw Harry with Cho, Fleur with Roger Davies, Cedric waiting for me, and Hermione with Krum.

Wow, nice catch Mione.

I slowly descended down the stairs and I felt every eye in the room watching me.
