          The next day, I was relieved that I didn't need to be bandaged up anymore and I put on my warm black sweater and jeans. I used my gloves, warm socks, and scarf from Hagrid on my way to the clocktower courtyard. My surprise was that Ginny was going to go shopping with us since she also didn't have a dress yet. Hermione walked us to Hogsmeade and we went to a dress shop. I had some notes in my sock for a separate surprise. The three of us looked at dresses and Ginny found hers first. It was adorable. It had pastel colors of green and pink on it and I told her that she should keep her hair down. Hermione found her dress and she looked so beautiful in it. It was short sheer sleeves, had a ribbon around the waist, and had a layered on the skirt from her waist to her feet. It was a gorgeous shade of purple. When I found my dress, I fell in love with it.

          "What do you think?" I asked as I came out.

          "Oh, Ivy! Are you sure? Your tattoo is exposed," Ginny said.

          "Nevermind that, your left leg is exposed," Hermione said.

          "I love it," I said.

          We each paid for our dresses and I made an order for a rental dress robes. It was going to be a gift for Ron and I gave the lady helping us his measurements. I also paid for the rental and carried it with my dress. On the way to the Gryffindor common room, I was rushed in with a group of girls and Ron. He looked terrified. The girls said that Ron tried to ask Fleur to be his date but he sort of screamed at her instead. Seamus was going to be taking Lavender so he couldn't ask her. Harry asked the Patil twins to be their dates and they said yes. When everyone realized I was forced in the portrait, I was promptly kicked out by the girls. I made my way to dinner and grabbed my bag from Colin. He insisted on helping me since he and his brother felt guilty when they tried to charm the buttons but made them stuck on 'Potter stinks' and 'Potter REALLY stinks'. While eating with Charlie and Bill, I showed them my dress and shoes for tomorrow and I went to bed early.
