Christmas was in full swing as Hogwarts was decorated with Christmas decorations. White, red and green decorations scattered everywhere.

It was four in the evening, and the girls of Hogwarts decided to get ready, as the Christmas ball begins at seven in the evening.

"Helena, go change! You will look beautiful!" Celeste exclaimed as her friend was fretting over how her dress will make her date run towards the hills.

"Alright alright! I am going!" Hannah exclaimed as she snatched her dress from her bed and headed into the bathroom in the dorms.

"Who is she going with?" Alecia asked from her canopy bed.

"George Yorkes. I know, it's a shocker." Celeste said, giggling as she smoothed her hand over her peach glittery dress.

"As in the half blood who has royal connections? The boy that the castle won't shut up about after that revelation?" Alecia asked, her eyes went wide with surprise.

"The very same. It's going to be the talk of the evening." Celeste answered, laughing as she turned around the door as she heard it open.

Helena was wearing a Grayish blue halter dress, with blue small gemstones surrounding the neck line.

"Oh my God Ena! You are looking like a royal princess!!" Celeste exclaimed as she clapped her hand over mouth in shock.

"Thank you. Now it's your turn to change into your dress." Helena said as she smoothed her dress and stepped aside so Celeste could enter the bathroom.

Celeste lifted her delicate dress and entered the bathroom. She stripped off her bathrobe and slipped into her dress.

Her dress was peach colour, with glitters over the skirt, and gemstones covered the border of her neckline.

It was a sleeveless dress and a beautiful one at that. Her dress halted at her ankle. She looked at herself in the mirror before stepping out of the bathroom.

"So?" Celeste asked as she twirled around in her dress.

"Newt is going to trip over himself as he sees you in this dress. It's absolutely amazing!" Helena squealed as she jumped up from sitting position.

"Alright, you both are going to make me look like a peasant. Sad, ain't it?" Alecia faked a sad look before grinning and picked up her green silk dress and entered the bathroom.

"Slytherin colours." Helena commented as she looked at Celeste.

"Well she is going to ball with a Slytherin." Celeste shrugged her shoulders as she sat on the bed and wore her pearl earrings which her mother gifted her on her birthday.

She then waved her wand around her silky icy blonde hair. They were perfectly curled, with a side partition of her hair.

"Ooohh I still have to master that spell. Can you straighten my hair? I will end up doing something bad to my hair." Helena begged her friend, and Celeste happily complied.

"Are you going for red?" Helena asked as three of the girls were doing their makeup. Celeste, Helena and Alecia were only girls in their year.

"Yes. I love red lips." Celeste said as she applied the red lipstick on her lips before looking back at her reflection.

Helena whistled as Celeste turned around. "Someone is going to have a stroke with the beauty you are reflecting." Helena commented, smiling widely.

"Oh hush. George is going to drop dead after seeing your beauty." Celeste said as she stepped aside and conjured her heels.
