You stop at the top of the stairs and take in the hall below. Everyone looks wonderful in his or her suits and dresses.
"You got this." Luna reminds you as she squeezes your hand.
You start to walk down the steps again. You keep your eyes down making sure you don't fall. Heels are not always your friends. When you chance a glance down at the hall you at met with too many pairs of eyes to count.
You freeze. Is there something wrong? You look behind you to see what everyone is looking at but there is no one there.
"I think they are looking at you," Luna whispers from two steps below you.
"Why? Did I do something?"
"No sweetheart. You are stunning."
"What? That is not it." You and laugh and turn to look at everyone again. You catch Draco's eye, as if you are drawn straight to him. He looks...awestruck. He is gorgeous in his suit. Very classy and very Draco.
You look away before it becomes noticeable that you are staring and look to Blaise. He smiles and winks at you before turning to stare at Luna as if he just saw an angel. Pansy is standing next to him smiling at you like she is delighted to see you.
You scan around the room as you reach the bottom of the stairs. There are a few people walking towards you. Draco is one of them; leaving a stunned looked Astoria is in wake.
Theo reaches you first and Daphne stands shyly behind him. He leans in and kisses your cheek. "Evee love, you look stunning. How are you keeping?"
"I am good Theo. How are you? You look dashing."
"I do scrub up well don't I?"
"Daphne you look beautiful." Her eyes grow wide as she steps forward smiling.
"Thank you Evee. You look fabulous. I take it you designed it yourself? It's too beautiful to be anyone else."
"I did yes. Thank you. Well enjoy your night...both of you."
You move to the side as they retreat back into the crowd. Next to catch you is Blaise, Pansy and Draco.
"Evee, you look –" Pansy starts
"Breathtakingly stunning!" Draco finishes for her.
"Thank you. You all look amazing. Pansy, that dress is exquisite on you."
"It's nothing compared to yours. I was cruel to my usual designer and we haven't spoken much so I had to go with someone else."
"Anytime you need a dress you know you can come to me."
"Thank you Evee." You didn't notice that Draco moved to stand beside you. "Ha I just noticed that you and Draco match. His bow tie and Pocket Square are the exact colour of your purple."
Draco and you turn to look at each other's outfits. They are a perfect match. Draco smiles and shakes his head. "Mother?" he asks.
"Well she did see my dress when I met her."
"That woman," he laughs.
"Sorry if this causes a row between you and your fiancé. I had no idea what your mum was up to."
"Oh I know. And don't worry we argue every night so this should be no different than any other."
"Oh...em...well sorry again."
"You have to save a dance for me...as friends of course."
"Of course. Em my date has disappeared." You say looking around you.
