Chapter 20

He says I look beautiful tonight, and I feel perfectly fine, but I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain   \   that's the way I loved you, Taylor Swift

°•☆•°

Christmas day was one of the most hectic days Aerea has ever had. And she's had quite a few.

Pansy insisted on getting early to have enough time to get ready for the ball. Aerea thought it was ridiculous but didn't say anything.

The four roommates took turns taking a shower, Pansy went first, then Millicent, then Daphne and Aerea went last.

Stepping out of the bathroom, towel around her body, Aerea was met Daphne doing the Millicent's make-up and Pansy trying to figure out what to do with her hair.

"I'll help you in a minute, Pansy, I just have to get into something other than a towel," Aerea said, laughing.

"Oh, thank you so much!" Pansy said, letting out a breath.

Quickly grabbing something comfortable and getting changed, Aerea made her way over to Pansy and sat her down in a chair.

"Just so you know, Draco will still think you're beautiful even if you got ready ten minutes before the ball," Aerea tried to reassure the stressing girl. It wasn't that she was lying, Draco didn't care how she looked like, but he wouldn't say Pansy was beautiful. He didn't like her like that.

"Stop talking and help me with my hair!" Pansy said, though a small blush made its way on her cheeks.

"Yes ma'am," Aerea grinned, starting to work on the girl's hair.

Aerea decided to put Pansy's short hair into a half-up, half-down hairstyle, seeing as she couldn't do anything else, really.

Next was Millicent.

When did she get hair duty?

Since Millicent has a lot of curls, Aerea tried her best and put her hair in a bun, leaving little baby hairs out so they could form her face.

Then it was Daphne's turn, who now had done both Millicent's and Pansy's make-up.

"What do you want to do with your hair?" Aerea asked as Daphne took a seat.

"Whatever you think is best," she smiled.

Taking her long blond hair in her hands, Aerea thought for a moment.

"Your hair is too pretty to do anything too fancy..." She muttered to herself.

Aerea gasped as she ran to the bathroom and rummaged through her stuff.

"I've got it!" Aerea said, returning into the room.

Daphne looked at her, confused. "Got what?"

"These," Aerea showed her what was in her hands. They were these two very pretty hair pins. "Pretty but simple," Aerea said as she put them on both sides of her face, leaving baby hairs in front of her face.

Daphne looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. "It's beautiful and simple. I love it, thank you, Aerea," she said, looking at her.
