▬▬ thirteen; the yule ball. ⋆.｡.:* ☆:**:.
LAUREN DIGGORY ALWAYS remained her kind self. She used her social skills to lift people up and hated to see someone else the slightest upset, but she never let anyone look down on her or mistake her pure heart for being weak. So when she heard about Harry and Ron's decision of dates she became angry, but she held it inside her shut mouth and stern eyes.
Taking a deep breath before she asked, "who am I going with then?"
The boys felt bad for leaving their friend alone while they were going with the Patil twins. She had nothing personally against them, sure she found them annoying sometimes but she always smiled at them and worked well with them when paired in classes.
"I thought, uh—" Harry asked nervously. He gave her a glance pointing to the red-haired boy like he wanted to say something, but Ronald wasn't to hear it as well. She understood what he was trying to say and sighed loudly,
"We're not even speaking, he's the last person to ask me to the ball."
"Who?" Asked Ron.
Just then Hermione stepped into the room and gave her a best friend a sympathetic smile, "You can go with me and my date. I'm sure he wouldn't mind."
"No, I'm not ruining your night," said Lauren and then looked at the boys, "And I'm sorry, it's not your fault."
"Who is your date again?" Asked Ron.
Her face expression changed and she stared firmly at him, "shut it, Ron! Now, Lauren, let's go find you a date!" The girl dragged Lauren out of the common room—leaving two confused and awkward boys behind.
"Who was Harry talking about?" Asked Hermione as soon as they reached a quieter hall of the castle.
"No one, really."
"Oh, don't be so rude. We always tell each other everything," pleaded Hermione but Lauren raised an eyebrow and chuckled,
"says the girl who won't tell anyone who she's going to the ball with!"
"Alright," she said giggling. "Oh, I bet Seamus hasn't got a date!"
—
"No, come on 'Mione. You look stunning!" Lauren gently knocked on the bathroom door that her friend had run through and locked behind her as soon as she had got into her dress. "It's only me."
The door went open again and Hermione wore a shy smile as she stepped out. Lauren smiled widely as she looked at the girl with a beautiful pink dress, and her hair well done in a slightly loose bun. She really was beautiful.
