The Golden Quadruplets

chapter 52

year 4

Clementines pov.

since The Yule Ball was fast approaching, it was about time that people would be getting asked to the ball.

Hermione had already gotten asked, she told me it was Viktor Krum, which was something i didn't expect one bit.
i hadn't been asked yet but who knows, maybe i would be.

Hermione and I chatted all about our dresses, i was so excited, i had no idea what i wanted to wear but i needed to decide quickly.

"i think i have an idea for my dress" smiled Hermione, flipping through a dress magazine with me, i pointed at a beautiful puffy blue dress in awe.
"926 pounds!" i shrieked, pointing at the dress.
"i might need to ask my parents before this" i rubbed the back of my neck. Hermione raising her brows.
she flipped through the pages and pointed at all different types of dresses.
i was in awe.
"you would look absolutely gorgeous in those" i smiled, imagining all of them on her.
she smiled whilst staring down at the dresses on the paper.

"well we've got to find a dress for you!" she exclaimed, flipping through the papers to see if i liked any.
after pointless looking, because i found nothing i liked, we had to get to class, so i just told Hermione i would see the right one soon enough.

"this is mad. at this rate we'll be the only ones in our year without dates" Ron softly spoke to us.
Professor Snape hearing him and pushing his head down, he winced, me looking back down at my paper.

"well, us and Neville" Ron spoke again, clearly not learning his lesson from the Professor.
"but then again he can take himself" said Harry.
Hermione leaned into the boys conversation.
"it might interest you to know that Neville's already got someone"
Ron sighed.
"now i'm really depressed"

Fred passes a paper over to Ron, i looked up at him then back to Ron, looking over at the paper to read 'get a move on or all the good ones will have gone!'
"who are you going with them?" Ron whispered.
Fred sat up, fixing his posture and throwing a paper ball to Angelina, it hit her shoulder and she looked at him.
he pointed at her, then made a dancing motion, then pointed at himself.
she did a thumbs up with a smile on her face.
i rolled my eyes, why the bloody hell is he going with Angelina and not Sage.
he winked over at Ron.

Ron leaned over to Hermione.
"well Hermione, you're a girl"
"oh well spotted"
Harry began touching his shoulder, signaling that Professor Snape was on his way over.
he smacked their heads with his book, then Harry's.

"come on. it's one thing for a bloke to show up alone. for a girl, it's just sad" Ron spoke, mm yikes.
"i won't be going alone, because believe it or not someone's asked me" she said, closing her book and getting up, giving her book to Snape,
then walking back.
"and i said yes" she said, storming off, i smirked.
"bloody hell" Ron whispered to Harry, he turned to me, Harry moving out of the way.
"absolutely not" i said, standing up and going to give my book to the Professor as well.

he snatched it and walked over to the boys, and smacked them round the head, which made me giggle, but i walked out before he could scold me for laughing.

"so he did ask Cho then?!"
"yes!"
"and what did she say?!"
"she said 'no'"
"did she really... why?"
"shouldn't you be celebrating this?"
"is it weird to say i feel quite bad for him?"
"not really"
"well then who is she going with?"
"i have no idea"

me and Hermione were walking to class, Harry apparently told Ron and Hermione about his failed attempt to ask Cho Chang.
i wasn't surprised she had gotten asked already, because she's stunningly beautiful... have i already mentioned that?

"God when is this boy going to ask you? he's an idiot"
i blushed at Hermione words.
"i don't know if he likes me like that" i mumbled.
"well clearly you like him don't you?!"
"yes but-"
"then i'll tell him... and he'll ask you"
"but.. what if he just asks me because you told him to... i need to wait until he wants to ask me" i said, me and Hermione entering the classroom.

                                         *

"have you figured out your dresses yet?" i asked.
Sage, Hallie and I sat in the library, Hallie was looking through a dress magazine, circling all the ones she liked, which was practically almost all of them on each page.
"not yet... i'm to indecisive" said Hallie whilst circling another dress.
"me neither" shrugged Sage as she looked at the magazine as well.
"i think it will just come to me" i said, thinking about what i want my dress to look like.

                                         *

"i've figured it out" said Hallie, plopping herself onto my bed.
"what?" i asked.
"my Yule Ball dress" she said, kicking her legs back and forth whilst she stared at her desired dress.
Sage came over and sat next to her.
"she's been talking about it non stop"
"shut up, it's because my parents are actually letting me get it"
"lucky" i laid back.
"i still haven't decided"
"Clementine it's in quite literally a week" said Hallie.
"oh i know" i said, pulling my pillow over my face.
"Sage, you've decided between those two right?"
"yeah"

                                        *

i was out one Saturday with Hallie, Sage and Hermione.
Hallie and Sage and i went into a a dress shop after i caught my eye on the window.

when we entered the place it smelled like fabric and vanilla.
it was nice and cozy, me and Hermione walked around in the same area, looking at each dress that was fairly expensive.

there were fluffy tool dresses, puffy ones, silky ones, skin tight, a little to much skin showing for some of them, to short or to long, to fluffy and big.
i think i was starting to give up.

"Clementine!" Hermione called me over to the back of the shop, i rushed over, and she pointed at a stunning light cream colored dress, it had fancy little beads along it, golden and silver and a short sheer shoulder cover.

"well... do you like it then?"
"i absolutely love it" i smiled, touching the beaded jewels.

Hermione went up and asked if i could try it on, they gave me permission to try it on and measured me for my dress size.

-

i ended up getting the dress, it was the perfect price, and i bought pretty shoes to match.
Sage and Hallie found their dress, and Hermione found the one that she saw in the magazine.
so we all went to the cafe across the street to celebrate.
i showed the other girls and they agreed that it would look amazing on me, it made me happy to know i figured out the dress part of the Yule Ball, the only thing i need is date.
and i'm still praying that Harry will ask me.
