Lasting Legacy

37. Hogsmeade Trip

Albus' POV

Turns out our family and aunt Hermione's family will attend the Yule Ball. Meaning dad, mum, aunt Hermione, uncle Ron, and even Lily and Hugo will be there. Rose is going with Hugo as brother and sisters. I wanted to go with Lily but I knew Scorp wanted to as well, so I told Lily that a certain blond who wants to go to the Yule Ball with her will meet her in Hogsmeade on 24 November, which is today.

"Hey mate, do you have a date?" Scorp asked.

"Yeah, Annabelle asked me the other day and I said yes," I answered.

"Oh, er..." he trailed off.

"You thought I'll be going with Lily as siblings?" I teased.

"Yeah."

"Well, Lily should be in Hogsmeade today so if you go with me today, you might see her. Annabelle wants to buy a cocktail dress, so you can come with us."

"Great! Thanks mate!"

Eva's POV
(A/N: Italic words are supposed to be in German)

I watch as my sister Adeline went to the Entrance Hall to meet the Potter boy and go to Hogsmeade together. She seems happy, and I'm happy for her. For me, I have Alexander to look forward to.

"Hey Evie," my best friend Pandora slipped in the seat next to me.

"Hi Pans," I said.

"So, who's going to the ball with Adeline?"

"James Potter."

"You mean, the oldest son of the one and only Harry Potter?!" she yelped.

"Yeah."

"Lucky girl."

I laughed.

"What about you?"

"Alexander, the Durmstrang champion."

"You two both got nice dates, huh?" she chuckled.

I smirked.

"Who are you going with then?" I asked.

"I think I'll go stag. But I'll still go to Hogsmeade anyways. I want a tour. Are you going with Alexander then?" she said.

"Mhmm, I better run. He must be waiting for me. Have a nice day." I said and left the Hall.

James' POV

I waited patiently at the Entrance Hall for Adeline. We were going to Hogsmeade together, and I can't wait.

I didn't have to wait long. She came out of the Great Hall soon, looking beautiful as usual. "You look nice," I said, blushing a bit.

"Thanks," she blushed too.

I took her hand and we walked towards Hogsmeade together. There was a nice shop which sells dressrobes and we went there.

"Let's get yours first, we have lunch and then I get a dress?" Adeline suggested as we go in the shop.

We roamed the shop and I found a suitable dressrobe soon enough, it was a dark blue tuxedo with a white shirt.

"I'll just need to charm the bow tie to match your dress," I said, smiling.

She smiled too, "Since it's still early, maybe we just go around?"

"Sure," I said, and showed her around Hogsmeade, chatting all the way.

We went to Three Broomsticks for lunch, Al, Annabelle, Rose, Hugo, Scorpius and Lily were there. They got a large table, saving seats for Adeline and I. Molly and Suzanne came later, with their dates for the Yule Ball, Christopher and Richard, both in Year 2.

We had a nice lunch. Adeline was happy to meet my family, while Al and Scorp were happy they get to meet the girl I like.

After lunch, we went our seperate ways, Al, Scorp and I went with our dates to get their dresses.

We walked to the dress store together, roaming the shop four times before the girls started to try their dresses. They took ages to choose, but the three of us don't mind. They look breath taking after they finish.

Annabelle got a cocktail dress. Her dress was white with a satin ribbon wrapped around her waist, there was also a white rose on it.

Lily got a deep blue bandeau dress which showed off her curves and stopped right above the knee. It was tight in the waist that accentuated her figure.

But Adeline's dress was the best, I dare say. Her dress was strapless and floor length, the top half silver with glimmers of purple, the bottom half flowed with every movement, it was white blended with silver, purple and blue, and she looks stunning in it.

Adeline and I left the shop together, hand in hand. We walked backed to Hogwarts together. Adeline led me to where the Glaemnonia students were staying, introducing me to her sister, Eva, and her friends. But some of those girls were, ugh, really really annoying. Merlin, I'm not some superhero, they don't really have to squeal like that. Okay, my dad killed Voldemort, but that's my dad, not me! They really annoyed me by their squeals.

"Sorry, even I can't stand them sometimes. They think of the Golden Trio as superstars," Adeline whispered to me as we left for the Gryffindor Common room together. We giggled.

I took her around the Gryffindor Common Room, it was empty as most people were still in Hogsmeade. I also taught her how to get in the kitchens, we took some snacks and ate them while walking around the school grounds.

We had dinner together, at the Hogswarts table, where the Gryffindors sit, Dominique and Adeline befriended quickly, they chatted nonstop throughout the whole dinner.

I walked her back to the place all the Glaemnonia students are staying after dinner.

"Thanks for taking me out James, I had fun," she smiled and pecked me on the cheek.

"I'm honoured," I said.

"You know, should we call it a date?"

"I'd love to," I said, and we kissed, sending butterflies to my stomach. Fireworks were in my brain.

"I love you," I breathed as we broke apart.

"I love you too," she said, I beamed.

"Together?"

"Together."

James and Adeline are together! Hope you like the story so far!
