There was a buzz all around Hogwarts with the annual Christmas ball coming up. Boys were trying to pluck up the courage to ask girls to the ball, and girls were waiting for their beloved to ask them. However, some girls, like Ginny for instance, had to push her boyfriend in the right direction to get him to ask her to the ball. On the day of the ball, everyone was bustling.
~~~ Girls room
Ginny had decided to wear a floral dress and plaid her hair, with a flower, along with steep 3 inch heels that would make her only two inches shorter than Neville.
Hermione had tamed her hair even more with charms, making it cascade down her back in smooth curls. She had a flowy light pink dress and shorter, and also had 3 inch heels that made her the exact same height as Blaise, who was shorter than both Neville and Hadrian.
Daphne, wore a flowing green dress, that as Tracey had claimed, would "go with Hadrian's bewitching eyes." Like Hermione and Ginny, Daphne also decided to wear 3 inch platform heels, but she would still be a whole 4 inches shorter than Hadrian. Tracey, was in fact, the biggest supporter of Daphne and Hadrian, believing it was one of the most cliche things she had ever witnessed - bad boy and the good student. Hermione didn't really care, as long as Daphne was happy, and Ginny honestly believed that Daphne could do better.
Tracey, who didn't have a date, but was going as simply a companion, was wearing a simply knee length black skirt with a laced white blouse.
Hermione giggled saying, "Finally, I'm going be as tall as Blaise."
"Well, Blaise is the shortie among our boyfriends." Ginny reasoned.
"Well, your boyfriends are freakishly tall." Hermione retorted.
"Yeah, how did Neville and Hadrian get so tall? Particularly Hadrian?" Tracey asked, jokingly, but surprised to get an answer.
"Well, Neville is just a bamboo stick,(Ginny scowled) and Hadrian is tall because of his vampire inheritance. We were all shocked when we saw him on the day after his birthday" Hermione spoke.
"Did he change a lot?" Tracey asked, Daphne now also interested.
"Not really, besides the fact that he had grown four inches over night, and he inherited vampire traits, and he was stronger magically." Ginny responded.
"Alright, enough chit chat, we have to go down soon, to meet the boys." Hermione butted in.
~~~ Boys room.
Blaise had spent a considerable amount of time the nights before trying to teach Neville and Hadrian to dance. Neville, despite being clumsier, seemed to have gotten the beat and dance steps faster, and was in fact quite competent and dedicated, having bought himself polished black dance shoes, which Hadrian had chuckled bemusedly at.
Meanwhile, Hadrian seemed to have given up after the first hour of teaching, saying it was pointless. Now, Blaise was having more difficulty helping the other two to put their suits on.
Neville wore black dress robes, with a white shirt underneath and a white bow tie, and of course, his black dance shoes.
Hadrian, also wore black dress robes, but all his white shirts seemingly having small [or big] blood stains on it, he wore a black v neck shirt underneath, and black sweatpants, that he had assured Neville and Blaise, wouldn't show too often or too much.
Blaise had worn similarly to Neville, only didn't have shoes quite as extravagant.
They all stood up, ready to go out and meet their dates. Blaise was standing next to Neville, who was only an inch taller than him, which wasn't so bad, but Blaise felt small net to Hadrian's towering form.
"Why am I so short?" Blaise asked.
"Maybe that's your charm." Hadrian clipped, then walking out.
"That's Hadrian's form of complimenting," Neville explained, then catching up with Hadrian, with Blaise close behind.

The four girls first saw Neville approach.
"Wow! You girls really look nice!" Neville complemented, then briefly kissing Ginny and taking her hand.
"You look good too Neville, nice shoes, by the way." Ginny responded.
Then, Blaise approached, whistling lowly as he saw the girls. He too greeted them, then greeted Hermione personally, waiting behind her.
"Wow, you boys look nice. Tonight, all three of you will for once, look like normal people, who don't go out and fight-" Ginny started, but stopping at the sight of Hadrian. Hadrian WAS wearing dress robes, but had no white underneath, and his lip piercing and fang earrings were in clear view.
"Never mind, I spoke too soon." Ginny quickly corrected her earlier comment. Neville and Blaise tried to cover their smirks. Then, they all headed down for the ball.
