Right before everyone went home for the Christmas holiday, all the girls went shopping for dresses to wear at a ball that the Malfoy's were having. It was the annual ball, and the girls thought it would be fun to go shopping without their mothers. It was just Ara and Mary going though because the other girls were not old enough to go to Hogsmead. They were disappointed at first, but then their mothers said they could go as they got back from school, which made them excited.
"So what are you going to get?" James asked Ara as they walked to the entrance to meet Mary.
"I'm not sure. I think I want to get something different, but I don't know what that really means. I am sure Mary is going to have to help me again."
"Well, you know that anything you get, you will look beautiful." James pulled his girlfriend close and kissed her forehead. Ara blushed and smiled into his chest. She really enjoyed being with James, and he really did make her feel special.
"Ready to go shopping?" Mary had just walked up with a huge smile. She loved shopping. It had grown on her over the years, and how she really loves it.
"Yes, Mary, are you ready to help me find something to wear again?"
"Of course!" Mary took Ara's hand, and they started walking out the door but not before James kissed her head one more time.
The girls talked a bunch while they walked, and it felt good to catch up with one another.
"Here it is Mary, are you ready for tule, lace, diamonds, and more?" Ara smiled at how excited her friend looked at this.
"Yes, I am."
The girls went into the store and started to look around at everything. There really was so much tule, lace, crystals, designs, and everything else you can ever want in a dress. Mary was thrilled, and Ara was a little overwhelmed. She looked around for a while
"So Ara, do you think I should get something short or long?"
"I was thinking long. We are older now; it could be nice to wear something long."
"I was thinking the same thing," Mary looked around again until she found a red dress that she really liked. It was 2 pieces, and the top was off the shoulder, and the bottom was all tule.
"Wow, Mary, that looks great!"
"I think so too. Should I try on some other things to see if I can find something better?"
"No, that is awesome. I love it." Ara smiled at her friend. She liked the two-piece dress and thought maybe she could find something like that, but she also didn't want to copy Mary either, "Mary, would you be upset if I got a two-piece dress too?"
"No, of course not! Don't be ridiculous."
"I think I like that style; I might try and find something like that."
