Thanks fo adding! :DD

The next day was a little too girly for my liking. My best friends, Katie, Lauren and I went out to buy our dresses for the Yule Ball. 

"Ooooooh," Lauren said, rifling through the dresses, and pausing, "I'm going to try on this one." 

It was truly beautiful. It was long-sleeved, and made of white silk, and it had embroidered, barely visible flower patterns in a pearly grey color, different from the pure white of the dress. 

As she went into the fitting booth, something caught Katie’s eye. The dress was dark blue, and single-strapped and tight around the waist. It was quite short for a ball but it was stunning. All the sudden, Cho walked out in her dress, looking beautiful as ever. 

"Wow, Rob! Go and try it on! I want to see you in it!" Katie said, pushing me into the other fitting booth. 

"It’s really pretty Katie but it’s just not my style" I said sincerely. 

"Robyn, you are my best friend! I know what your style is but I WILL NOT allow you to go to the Yule Ball in tight jeans and a tank top!" 

"Yes ma’am" I slipped off my school robes, and put on the dress, took a look in the mirror. I waked out to show my friends. Katie squealed with delight, and said, "Ha! I told you it was awesome! You look fantastic!" 

"Yeah, what Katie said! George is going to drool!" Lauren agreed. 

"Thanks, and I hope so! It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to do." I smiled. 

After gabbing away with them for half an hour, I went off to meet the twins at Zonko's. Filch had yelled at me and George for kissing in the Entrance Hall. We were going to get back at him. We bought dung bombs, stink pellets, a little of everything really, and left with our pockets bulging. 

Hogwarts was decorated beautifully for Christmas. There was a huge tree in the corner, and there were clumps of mistletoe in a few places. 

"Hey! I pity Weasley’s taste. If he won't go out with me, how can he even think of going out with you?" 

It was a girl from Slytherin, a lanky blonde named Amber. All of the other Barbie dolls who surrounded her, shrieked with laughter. 

"I really wouldn’t push your luck with me, Blondie" I yelled as I walk away hearing her mutter along with her so called friends and I shouted back "Keep talking, maybe someday you'll say something intelligent." She was known as every girl's nightmare. She thought she was better than everyone else and always tried to find a way to ruin the other girls at school. Perhaps she felt stronger when she made other people cry but honestly, she was just plain mean.

The next morning, was the day of the Yule Ball and I was utterly nervous. To help me forget about my small dilemma of being too girly for George’s liking in the evening, I announced that we shall be having a snowball fight a few yards away from Hagrid’s yard. It was not your regular snowball fight. Oliver invented the game during the winter of his 5th year. He made a snow cannon and filled it with bewitched snowballs to be shot at the 'enemy'. It was hilarious! Me, Oliver and Katie kicked butt against Fred, George and Lee (Lauren was already getting her hair done for tonight)… yes we did cheat but still, how many people can say they lost to the Weasley Twins? 

Us girls went to get ready as it was about two hours before the Yule Ball started. I wore my dress and practiced walking in my new high hells and I was surprisingly good at it. Lauren and Katie were fighting on who was to do my hair and make-up and we finally came to the conclusion that Katie was to do my hair and Lauren was to do my make-up as she was slightly more advanced than Katie in that field of work. I walked down the steps to the common room along with my friends so they could meet their dates. (George was meeting me near the Grand Staircase) The boys kept gaping at me which made me a bit uncomfortable, even Lauren’s date was staring…that is before Lauren hit him on his stomach with her elbow. We made our way towards the Great Hall, meeting George along the way. He looked absolutely marvelous. His black tux made his green eyes glow, I couldn’t help but gaze into them as I stepped down. I even giggled when he first saw me, his mouth instantly dropped and his eyes grew wider. Maybe I should re-think this girly thing, it actually seems to work. 

"Hey George" 

"..." 

"George?" I said waving my hand in front of his face. 

"Wow, Oh, Ummm... Sorry. You look......Wow" 

"Thanks" I replied as Katie giggled next to me.
