Veela and her wolf

22

A/n:  ok so I'm going to start playing around more with the timeline and diverge more from cannon, I've been writing on this chapter for the last month trying to get this the way I wanted it. 

I'm really not good at describing clothing and hair, but it's the Yule ball and you just can't skip that...so here goes my first attempt at in depth clothing/ hair descriptions ...hope you guys enjoy going to the Yule Ball with our leading ladies!  This will be a two parter, so the bulk of the actual Yule ball will happen next chapter.

'Oh Merlin Herm you look so good!  You will break a loads of hearts for sure tonight'  Lavender  gushed 'I can not believe you got Andromeda to owl you that outfit, you just look simply  smashing!  Fleur is going to jump you first thing when she sees you!!'

Hermione laughed at this, she was standing, looking at the mirror in her dorm room after Lav finished the last charm on her.  She had been pleasantly surprised that the makeover was such a fun affair, Lavender was a bubbly witch that made everyone feel welcomed in her presence.  Hermione mused that she would make a wonderful politician someday in the future with her temperament. 

Hermione looked once more down at her outfit smiling.  She had made a habit of following London's fashion weeks, a muggle guilty pleasure of hers.  Since she finally had the funds to procure what she wanted, she could think of no better reason then to be fittingly dressed to match her gorgeous imprint.

She had been sent black three inch heels, tight black tuxedo pants that looked like they had been painted on, a white button up tux shirt with black studs that were buttoned up three-quarters of the way stopping just above her cleavage, and a fitted female black tux jacket.  This tux jacket had a low popped lapel/ collar that was white with black trim, and held together in the middle by a gold chain with a small ruby jewel in the center on either side(a nod to her being in Gryffindor, as the original had an emerald jewel).  This outfit looked feminine, elegant, but also very sexy at the same time.  She would be the perfect compliment to Fleur's dress of choice whatever that might be, as the Veela refused to tell her what she was wearing if her mate was also being stubborn, which caused Hermione to chuckle at her imprint's antics.  They would make a striking pair that was for sure.

Lavender took one look at the outfit and decided to take the head of unruly curls and straighten it, making layers of the hairs framing her face.  It gave an easy breezy kind of vibe to it, while still coming across as elegant.  Fleur would want to do nothing but run her hands through the wolf's hair with how smooth it looked. 

Hermione couldn't be happier with how her look turned out.  They had finished with about fifteen minutes to spare and noticing the time she rushed out of the room, thanking Lavender as she left. 

Hermione paused at the top of the final stairs in front of where she was to meet her champion, to find her girl.  Scanning the crowd she finally saw her.  Hermione's breath caught in her throat, Fleur had really outdone herself.  She was dressed in a gown all in white.  The dress had sleeves that were the length of Muggle t-shirts, the dress was form fitting as well, and was floor length, her top had intricate designs it gave the illusion that it was clasped at her throat but had a cutout in a floral shape to reveal her generous chest below, her dignity was definitely in tact but you could see that she was not wearing a bra, and a view of her sternum was on display as well as a peak of her side breast. 

Hermione briefly wondered how she got away with wearing that deliciously revealing gown at a school function, but then remembered that being a Veela had afforded Fleur plenty of leeway in her clothing choices for the evening.
