"BUT LIKE, DO I EVEN HAVE TO GO?" Astrea asked with a badly concealed sigh, as she continued painting her nails.

She was with Ginny and Luna in her dorm as the three girls discussed the upcoming Yule Ball. That had been the main topic for all students from years 4 and above in the past week, since the event had been announced.

"Of course you have to go! You're the Slytherin Queen, it's literally your duty" Ginny replied while picking out another colour from the box gifted by Aphrodite. 

"Besides, you don't know when this will ever happen again. This may be your only chance to attend a Hogwarts Ball." put in Luna as she handed Ginny an emerald green shade.

"I guess... but I don't even have a date." The older girl spoke. She now laid against the bed headrest and slumped a bit.

"And who says you need one?" retorted Ginny. "You can always just go dateless or with the girls. You know, girl power and all that whatnot."

"Or, if you really want, just ask someone to go as friends. I'm sure Adrian won't mind." Luna said, adding her own two cents

"Addy's going with Lex. She told me yesterday"

"What about Oliver?" asked Ginny

"With Nora."

"And Elijah?"

"Some Ravenclaw he's been pining after"

"Atticus?"

"I'm not stepping ten foot near Flame."

"Right, forgot you hated him."

"Gods! Just go solo! I don't see the point in taking a date anyways" Ginny cried out in frustration as they neared the end of their list.

"I could call dad if you want" Luna spoke, looking up at Astrea and she saw the older's eyes shine for a second before they went back to normal.

"It's fine, baby moon. I'm sure Apollo's much too busy for some school dance"

"Puh-lease! You have that god whipped and wrapped around your little finger. The bitch- no offence to your dad Luna - would do anything for you" said the only red-head in the room.

"Fine i'll see..."

"That's all we ask for" chorused the two 3rd years before going back to their respective toes and fingers.

BEFORE ASTREA KNEW IT, the day had come. It was time for the yule ball. Astrea, Ginny, and Luna were running all over her room, chaos ensuing everywhere. Makeup and skincare products littered the bathroom counter, clothes were strewn across the floor, and each girl was huddle in front of one mirror. 

There was still an hour left before the ball started as the three, continued their dressing in a rush while trying to look their best. By the time they were ready, there were only 15 minutes remaining.

The girls hurried down to the common room, to see it nearly empty. Most of the Slytherins had left earlier to reach their own dates on time and Fred and George had left to see Angelina and Alicia.
