After two hours of doing makeup, hair, changing, singing and drinking we were all ready for the ball.

I had just finished my hair and was putting on my mothers jewellery.

'Ready?' Jules asked, who was wearing a beautiful light blue dress, her blonde hair falling down her back.

'Ready' I smiled.

The younger girls left slightly earlier to go and find their dates, just leaving Jules and i in our dorm room.

'You look beautiful' She told me, making my cheeks blush.

'Thank you, im just praying that no ones talking about what happened earlier' I sighed, spraying my perfume

Jules smiled 'I'm pretty sure thats what everyone's going to be talking about' She said awkwardly.


Theo was meeting me at the top of the stairs near the hall, Jules's date was waiting outside the common room so i hung behind for a few minutes to allow them to go ahead.

As i was walking I didn't actually see anyone, meaning they were all probably in the hall already so i was able to avoid any trouble so far.

I turned the corner, noticing a well dressed Theo leaning on the wall, cigarette in mouth and looking rather miserable.

(They speak in Italian)

'Ah, there's the jailbird' He called out once hearing the clicking sounds of my heels on the cold stone floor.

I laughed, shaking my head.

'You look incredible' He said, standing up straight and pulling a small clear box with gorgeous white corsage inside.

'Thank you, you look very handsome yourself' I smiled, holding my wrist out for him to place the corsage on me.

'I've never taken a criminal out you know' He joked.

'For that comment-' I said, before taking his cigarette out of him mouth and putting it in mine, smiling.

'Fair enough, i deserved that' He chuckled.

'Shall we?' He asked, holding his arm out for me to take. I took a final drag from the cigarette before tapping it with my wand to make it disappear, then held onto his arm.

As we turned the corner and faced the top of the stairs it was impossible not to notice the eyes of everyone latching onto us.

I spotted Freds immediately, who was looking absolutely irresistible in his dress robes. His gaze was on me as Theo and i walked down the stairs together.

'Well your turning heads' Theo whispered to me, making me laugh softly.

'I thinks its both of us' I replied.

As we got to the bottom more eyes were watching me, little whisperings just loud enough for me to hear.

I brushed them away, luckily having drank before this, my tipsiness sugarcoated the unfortunate situation of Angelina exposing a part of my past.
