Part 2 || 6 - Preparations for the Yule Ball

I sighed as Nina entered with a green screen's green colored dress. It was a huge ballgown, but it looked horrible. I looked at Nina with disgust. "Please tell me, Nina, that this is a joke"

"It isn't, since your dress has to change it's color when the boy touches you, they decided to keep it a green screen, so it would be easier for them to edit it and it's money saving" she said as she hanged it near the mirror.

"Oh God! Nina, that color is horrible" I said and sat down on my chair. I groaned when there was a knock at the door. "Will you see who it is?" I said to Nina, but before she would open the door, it opened and I knew just who it was.

"Shorty, are you-" Tom said but stopped mid-sentence when his gaze fell on the dress. I banged my head lightly on the counter and Tom started laughing.

"Haha... Is that your, haha... dress?" he asked laughing his ass off on the couch. I angrily marched over to him and flicked his head. He pretended to be hurt and said, "Alright, alright, I'm sorry"

"Do you actually have to-"

"Yes! Oh my God, Tom. It looks ugly, and when I'll wear it, I'll look ugly" I said as I placed my head in my hands. He pulled away my hands from my face and said, "Even if you wear it, you'll be the prettiest and the most beautiful girl there, Y/N" he kissed my forehead, instantly making me smile.

"Alright, Nina. Let's do this" I said enthusiastically. We walked over to the dressing room, with the dress in Nina's hands, Emma was already in there, trying on hers. She was looking in the mirror but the minute Nina entered with the dress, she turned around in horror. She looked at me and tried hiding her horror, "That's..." she said and paused for a minute to think, "Something"

"Oh, cut it, Watson. I know it's horrible. You can say it" I said as I removed my top. She sighed loudly, "Thank God, I didn't know how to tell you that the dress is ugly and also not hurt your feelings" she said as I removed my bra and put on the dress.

"Well, it doesn't look that bad"

"Quit being nice, Emma" I said when she tried to reassure me for the dress. We sighed and went to the Great Hall set. No scenes were to be shot but they wanted to see if my dress would work with the green screen. I had to walk with Rob down the stairs. But he was otherwise busy, doing other scenes. So, Mike called Tom in replacement for Rob. I was standing up the stairs for him to arrive. He arrived in black dance robes. He looked handsome. He still hadn't looked at me or my dress.

He looked up, "You look..." he paused making me roll my eyes. "Let's get this over with"

"Alright, Y/N and Tom, take each other's hands and walk down the stairs, stop in the middle, we'll check the dress out" Mike said and we entered looking at each other. Since we weren't actually acting, Tom sent me a reassuring smile and tightened his grip around my hand, "Even if you're not wearing makeup..." he said and we stopped in the middle, "You still look amazing" he completed making me smile again.

"Nuh-uh. I don't think that's working" he called the costume designer and showed him the flaws. Tom and I made ourselves comfortable on the stairs just talking to each other. I felt so happy with him. I need to make a decision, I can't do that to Rob or even myself. Arguing for a few minutes, they came to a decision that I will wear a black ballgown first, then with whoever boy I'm dancing, I will change into that boy's house colored dress, no matter how many times I would have to change.

Phew!

••••••

It would take a few days to make 5 dresses for me that looked exactly the same as the other one except for it's color. We were doing other scene, where Draco would turn into a ferret. I was sitting with Rob, ready for our scene.
