* Quick AN, last chap you saw Evey's dress, now this is the closest thing I could find to how I pictured her hair!
Thanks again for reading! You guys are amazing!!It's such a great thing when Snape gives us study tables in the middle of class..not really. Everyone's excited for the upcoming holiday, so none of us can really focus.. Including the twins and I, who are switching out our homework for new product sheets.
Pretty much all of Gryffindor house was packed into a couple long tables, making it possible for us to all hear the conversations–especially Ron and Harry.
"This is mad. At this rate we'll be the only ones in our year without dates."
Ron mutters to Harry, and I feel bad for them really, but can't help and snigger in their direction. Fred looks at me with a questionable eyebrow raised and I just tip my head in Ron's direction.
Snape walks by and smacks Ron on the back of the head making everyone return their focus back to their papers. Fred is quickly scribbling on an extra piece of parchment, then throws it to Ron.
"Who you goin' with then?" Ron whispers back and we all just kind of look at him like the idiot he is.
"Evey. Obviously." Fred whispers throwing another paper ball at Ron's head.
"Oh right...sorry Evey.." Ron says scratching the back of his neck embarrassed.
We quickly look back to our work as Snape walks by again, this time smacking Ron and Harry. I quickly finish my work, wanting to get out of here as quickly as possible.
Heading back to the common room to wait for the boys, I read and practice a bit more of my magik, and surprisingly it's getting pretty easy.
I've been able to master some wandless spells, a lot of them are in Latin and so it makes it a bit harder to perform. But it's so cool! I never knew there was a different kind of magic.
The boys finally make it back and we start working on the finishing touches of our antidotes. We should be able to test them here soon. Completely absorbed with our work, we hadn't realized everyone else came back until a pretty big commotion happened.
"What happened to you?" Harry asks as we see a whole bunch of people following Hermione and Ginny who are supporting a shell shocked Ron.
"He just asked Fleur Delacour out." Ginny explains as she helps him sit in a chair. Now that gets everybody's attention, and we all want to know what happened.
"What did she say?" Harry asks kneeling by his friend.
"No of course." Poor jealous Hermione butts in. Making Ron shake his head.
"She said yes?!"
"Don't be silly." This time it's Harry discounting that it could ever happen.
"There she was walking by. You know how I like it when they walk. I couldn't help it, it sort of slipped out." Ron recounts half dazed.
"Actually he sort of screamed at her, it was a bit frightening." Ginny corrects making us feel even worse for Ron.
"What did you do then?"
"What else? I ran for it. I'm not cut out for this Harry." Ron says sadly, making me feel bad for them.
"Poor blokes." I say to the boys.
"I told him not to wait til the last minute." Fred says grabbing my hand.
"Speaking of, who are you two taking?" I ask George and Lee who are sitting across from us.
"I asked Alicia after Fred asked you. We're going as friends though."
"That's what you say now Georgie, but I've heard she has a crush on you." I say with a smirk as I watch his face and neck match his hair.
"What about you Lee?" I ask to get the attention off of poor George.
"I actually bucked up and asked Katie to accompany me to the ball." He says proudly as we congratulate him.
~~~
The day of the ball, I'm woken up early by my lovely roommates.
"C'mon Evelyn, you've gotta get up!" Katie says while shaking me awake.
"Whhyy...??!" I moan from under my blankets, burrowing deeper.
"Because we need to get ready for the ball, you dork." She says with a laugh pulling the blanket off of me.
"The ball's not until tonight! You guys are crazy! I am not getting up now." I poke my head out only to glare at the giggling girls.
"Fine. But we will be back. And we will be helping with your hair and makeup!"
"Fine fine! Just let me sleep!" I say, and hearing them leave I snuggle back in and sleep for a bit longer.
After waking up later, I send a letter to both Dad and Remus sending them their Christmas presents, and to tell them I am going to the ball. I haven't ran into Fred or anyone all day, mostly because the girls are "keeping me hostage" until the ball.
After returning back to the dorm, they deem it late enough to start dressing me up for the ball...this should be fun! Note the sarcasm. I'm obviously not one that likes to go all out, I like being me.
Katie insists on curling my hair and then turning it into an up-do, with some of the smaller brown curls framing my face. Using some light purple pins we had found in Hogsmeade a fortnight ago, she pins the curls on my head elegantly.
Next Alicia decides to start on my makeup, but she's making it a secret until she deems me ready to see it...
After almost being poked in eye multiple times by eyeliner pencils, mascara brushes, and eyeshadow brushes, my torture is finally over. She pulls the blanket off of the vanity mirror, and at first I hardly recognize the girl in the mirror.
Thankfully she stuck to my "natural is better" motto, and give me a very thin line of eyeliner on my top lid. Which pops due to the light layer of lilac purple eyeshadow that she applied to my lids and even at the crease by my nose to "lighten my eyes" she says.
Finishing it off with a coat of mascara and rose petal lipstick, the girls have decided I am ready to get dressed, and soon we'll all head to the Great Hall to meet our dates.
This will definitely be a night to remember.
