Harry Potter: The Next Generation

Chapter 10 *Special Chapter* (Playing Dressup)

~~ Chapter 10 Special ~~

(Nami's POV)

{This scene takes place in the Gryffindor girls dormitories during the same time Lacey, Ivy and Crode are preparing for the date}

"Ow! Bloody hell Rose it's my eye lid not a piece of parchment jeez!" I shout in agony holding onto my left eye.

"Well I told you I suck at this stuff and you still make me do it!" she huffed plopping herself on Ivy's bed with her arms across her chest in a pout. I grinned rolling my eyes at her and placing my attention back to the vanity mirror.

Dear Merlin! I looked like a clown thanks to Rose's poor makeup skills. I sighed grabbing my wand and zapping away the random stream of colors decorating my face to start over. My face looked just as fresh and clean as it had before Rose's artistic endeavors took place.

"I still don't understand why your not coming with us Rosey, I mean this is a crisis that only best friends can help avert. It's your duty to attend." I hear Rose sigh behind me. I felt there was no harm in trying to get her to come one more time. I just didn't want her feeling left out. I mean she's already in a different house than the rest of us.

Well so is Crode but we mess with him to the point where we pretty much accept him as a Gryffindor not to mention he's great friends with a lot of our other housemates as well. In other words he and few other Hufflepuffs practically live here.

"I'm sorry Nami I know you need my support but I really don't want to be a bother. Besides its too late to find a date anyways and even if I could find one I wouldn't know what to wear and you know I hate worrying over such unnecessary things." she said in a firm tone.

"Yes yes I know Rose, I know. But I mean come on I could think of tons of guys that would love to go with you tonight. You could even ask a certain Slytherin to come if you'd like." I shot her a sly smirk through the mirror. I could see the instant blush rise to her pale cheeks.

"Oh now don't you go starting things again Nami; for the last time I have no interest in Scorpius Malfoy." she huffed back pulling out a book into her lap and opening a page. I rolled my eyes at her statement.

"Oh please you fancy him harder than Crode fancies anything edible on a dinner table." she rolled her eyes at me through the mirror but then stopped and just stared at me. I rose my brows in confusion.

"What?" I was beginning to feel uncomfortable.

"Why did you agree to go out with Crode if you hate him so much?" she asked randomly. I sat there starstruck at the question.

"What kinda question is that?"

"No I mean, you two just seem to be really bothersome to each other; so why agree to date him?"

"I dunno, I told you it was an accident. I was in a heated rage Rose, I have no control over my words when I'm that way." I just shrugged starting my hair. I decided I would go with a nice pinned up-do for the night. This maybe only a crap date but I never go out looking unfashionable; Crode or no Crode.

"I mean, you don't like...secretly like him or anything do you?" Rose pestered on. I sighed in annoyance. Why was she asking all these weird questions.

"What are you on about now?"

"Nothing I was just wondering, I mean it would make since as to why you're always picking on him Nami." she grinned a little. Oh no! I will not have her in my room trying to get me to confess to a bunch of nonsense.

"Don't be absurd Rose, of course I tease him but it's not nearly for the reason of fancying the git. I tease him because he is an easy target; much like you whenever the Malfoy boy is mentioned." I smirked at her surprised face.
