December 1995
Tonight was the Yule Ball. Evangeline received an owl earlier in the morning which included a package. She had been sent a white box and inside lay a beautiful deep red dress, accompanied by a sparkling necklace and matching earrings. Attached to the dress was a note which read "Evangeline, from Mum and Dad"
It was around 6:45pm, Pansy and Evangeline were adding the finishing touches to their looks, nerves building. They were meeting all the boys at 7pm in front of the Great Hall. Blaise was taking Pansy, they were officially dating now so Evangeline knew to knock before entering the room. Pansy continued to be more apologetic and Blaise avoided eye contact with her for a few days but it was all good now. Benjamin had shocked us all by asking Elijah to the ball. He did it at the weekend in the courtyard as the snow fell, it was very classically romantic, Elijah said yes of course.
Evangeline looked over at Pansy, she looked so happy recently, all down to Blaise of course. Tonight she was wearing a strapless black fitted floor length dress, simple yet beautiful. She had pulled her hair into a small low bun and wore her classic red lipstick and minimal face makeup. She radiated happiness, you could see it in her eyes.
Evangeline had decided to go a little extra tonight with her makeup and had even stolen some of Pansy's red lipstick to match the dress. She curled her hair softly creating bouncy waves that fell from her shoulders and added the jewellery her mother and father had sent earlier on. They were both ready to go minutes later, Evangeline took a picture of Pansy with her Polaroid and she took one of her too. The two took a shot of fire whiskey before exiting the dormitory and headed towards the Great Hall. The halls were busy, all with girls strutting down in their heels which were too high for them. They reached the top of the stairs, a sudden realisation hit them both as they turned to face each other. They would have to walk down in front of everyone.
"Well it's good job we look hot" Pansy nudged Evangeline making her laugh. She peered her head around the corner "Blaise is there" she whispered as she took a few deep breaths before stepping out at the top.
Evangeline looked around the corner, Blaise couldn't take his eyes off Pansy, it was quite cute actually. All the boys were there, Benjamin and Elijah were stood together, Nott was stood with the Beauxbatons girl who was sucking his neck at the common room party, she rolled her eyes, typical Theo. Draco was stood with his back against the wall, a flask in his right hand and his left resting in his pocket. He was dressed in a black suit and a white dress shirt, Evangeline glanced up to his face and hair. His hair was pushed back smoothly, he brought his hand up and brushed his fingers through it slowly. His eyes moved to the left and she followed what he was looking at. Cedric. Evangeline pulled her head back round the corner, her turn to go. Oh please Evangeline don't fall down the fucking stairs.
