Chapter 25: The Yule Ball

~ A Week Later ~

It's finally time for the Yule Ball.

I'm nervous and excited, to say the least, but ready to have a glorious time. I silently sighed as I got out of the shower, drying myself off. It's getting closer and closer for it to start soon; I have to hurry and finish getting ready. I couldn't believe it was Christmas Eve already. I was really nervous about how everything would go tonight. A couple of girls I shared my room with were getting ready at the same time as me. Their dresses were really beautiful as I saw them lying on the beds, and they told me with whom they were going to have a small conversation with me. Also, I do know who all my friends were going with. Ginny and Neville were surprisingly together; Harry said he and Ron were going with the Patil twins, Hermione was happily going with Victor Krum (since she told me and not Harry and Ron), Fred was going with Angelina, and lastly, I was going with George.

Not to mention that after tonight, I'll be spending a bit of time with Severus. I smiled as I put my lace purple strapless dress on and went into the bathroom to do my hair and makeup. But before I could, Hermione suddenly found me. I heard the other girls muttering how beautiful that dress was as I turned to look and see how beautiful she looked. She smiled nervously, all dressed up, but her hair wasn't done yet. I smiled brightly at her, "Hermione, that dress is absolutely beautiful; I love it! You look beautiful." She giggled, "Thanks, your dress is really beautiful on you. George did well." I chuckled, "Yeah, he did. What are you doing here? I thought you were getting ready." "I was. I still need to do my hair, but I wanted to check in on you and see if you needed any help. Plus, I wanted to see your dress." I looked at her sheepishly, "I do need to do something with my hair; I want to put it up but could use some help."

She smiled as I took her offer, and she and I started to work together to help me do something nice with my hair. While she was fixing my hair, one of the girls looked at me, "I think your dress is really pretty, Miranda." "Thanks a lot; yours is too." The girl kindly grinned at me and asked, "So, who are you going to the ball with? If you don't mind me asking." I looked at my blonde-haired roommate and responded with a smile, "George Weasley." She looked back at me, shocked, "You're lucky to be going with him; he seems like a nice, funny guy." I smiled again, "Fred and George are both nice and funny brothers." She smiled back, and we did our makeup together as I let Hermione help me curl my hair up nicely. Once Hermione was done, I looked at her happily, "Thanks so much, Hermione, for helping me; this looks gorgeous." "Of course, Miranda. It looks great; you look beautiful." I looked at myself in a nearby mirror, feeling like a princess; I felt beautiful.

We smiled at each other and hugged as I asked, "Will I see you sometime at the ball?" She nodded her head to say yes as she left to finish getting ready, and I finished getting ready as well. I went down and out of the common room to find Harry and Ron in the hallway. I waved at Harry as he saw me and smiled softly, stopping as Ron stopped, too. "Wow, you look beautiful, Miranda," Harry admitted. "You really do," Ron added. I giggled, "Thanks, guys; you both dressed well, too. Wait, Ron, is that what your mom sent you?" "Yeah, these dress robes were my Great Aunt Tessie's." I couldn't help but lightly laugh, noting how half uncomfortable Ron was. "Have you seen Hermione," Ron asked. "Yeah, she helped me with my hair earlier; why," I responded in question. "Do you know who she's going with?" I looked at Ron and Harry, "I do, but that's for me to know and you guys to figure out. It's not my place to say exactly, I'm sorry."

Before either of them could respond, I saw George run up next to Harry. He looked up and down with his eyes as I giggled, and he smiled at me. He stated, "Wow, Miranda, you look really bloody beautiful. I'm glad the dress worked out for you." I lightly blushed, feeling my cheeks get red, "Thanks, George, and I should be the one to thank you for picking it out. You look handsome yourself." He lightly laughed as he had his arm out for me. I entangled my arm in his and looked at Ron and Harry. "I'll see you guys later at the ball." They softly smiled at me as George and I started to walk down to go and meet up with Fred and Angelina at the ball. I started to hear music playing as Professor McGonagall saw me and smiled as I gave her a small smile back in return. Once we got inside and found Fred and Angelina, they said something similar to what George said.
