Chapter 24 Burn Out

Y/N stands in one of the corridors, talking with Draco, Blaise, Pansy, Goyle, and Crabbe. It's become a bit awkward when both Draco and Pansy are with the group because Pansy's still hoping that he'll ask her to the Yule Ball. 

Y/N hasn't been hanging out with the Slytherins all together in a minute because she's been so busy. It's becoming more and more apparent to her that she's taken on too many dresses to work on because she's been working late into the night. And on top of that, she has to rehearse to perform for the Yule Ball.

From what she's learned so far, Blaise, Goyle, and Crabbe haven't asked any girls to the Ball. Though Blaise isn't one to share if he had, Y/N can sort of tell. When brought up, he doesn't seem to be thinking of anything. She doesn't expect Goyle or Crabbe to end up going with dates. She doesn't think that Theo'd asked anyone else, but maybe he has. The others haven't said anything yet, though. Of course, Pansy's waiting for Draco, which means neither of them have a date. Pansy would never ask anyone else and all the boys know she wouldn't say yes to them. And if Draco had asked someone else, Pansy would try to maim them.

"So Y/N, how's the dress business going?"

She looks to Pansy. "Exhausting. As much as the money is nice, the girls are driving me crazy. Some of them are great and they have ideas and can make a decision. Or at least they'll take your advise. But some of them are just awful. They don't know what they want and they're too nervous to let me try out ideas. So we stand there for like an hour and end without a definitive decision. And on top of that, I'm now turning girls down because I don't have the time."

Blaise gives her a curious look. "How much money have you made?"

Y/N thinks for a moment before responding. "One hundred fifteen galleons."

"Merlin's Beard."

She smiles to Goyle. "Well what did you expect? The supplies isn't cheap and the girls are desperate for help."

Pansy smirks. "Well you're very welcome."

"Excuse me?"

"Well the way I see it, if I hadn't excepted your help, you wouldn't have any clients or any business."

Y/N nods. "I suppose so, but I'm the one who offered help to you and I'm the one doing the work. Plus, It's ended in me getting more exhausted than galleons."

Pansy looks her in the eyes. "Well either way, you're over one hundred galleons richer."

Draco changes the subject. "So get this.. Apparently someone's asked Granger to the Yule Ball."

The Slytherins laughs about it.

"Yeah, sure." Pansy remarks.

"Are you serious?" Crabbe chuckles.

Y/N's not having it. "It's the truth. And you guys are certainly in for a surprise on the reveal."

Blaise rolls his eyes. "You sure it's the truth, Sparks."

She looks him in the eyes. "Yes, I saw her date ask her."

"Then who is it." Draco pushes.

Y/N smiles and begins turning around to walk away. "You'll see."

"Oh come on, Sparks. Just tell us."

"Sorry, I should be getting t-"

She bumps into someone because she was looking back at the group of Slytherin students. When Y/N looks to the person that she walked into, she finds three Durmstrang guys. Two of them stand behind and the third stands in front. Y/N recognizes the guy she bumped into as Georgi Petrov.
