Malfoy's Infatuation

Fall Fest Ball

A/N: The dress for the Fall Fest Ball is in the previous chapter and the casual outfit for later in the story is what's featured at the top! Enjoy!! xoxo

Luna jumps on my bed, instantly waking me from my sleep. "Today's the day!" she hums. She seems overly excited. When Luna slides off my bed, she rushes over to our wardrobes and pulls out our dresses and hooks them to the front. I sit up in my bed and rub my eyes hard enough to the point, I see stars. I'm not in a rush to get up because thank Merlin all classes today are cancelled. I won't have to deal with Snape or Malfoy or anybody's bullshit. Luna skips to the bathrooms with her towels and makeup bag in hand. I start with simply brushing out my hair so I can get my uncooperative strands under control.

It takes me about an hour to get my hair into the bun style I was picturing. I pull out a few small pieces of hair and place the gold hair accessory in the back of my hair and spray it lightly with some hair spray. Luna comes back from her shower and rushes behind me at my vanity. "You look stunning already." she says. I give her a light smile and she turns away towards her vanity. Her slightly curled hair flows behind her. I envy her hair, it always looks nice and it's easily cooperative. Mine is a rats nest unless it's brushed.

Luna and I pass some time by going to the dorms around us and to see if any of the girls need help. I straighten a girl's hair and curl another's, Luna applies makeup and does up-do's for others. Saying that our hands hurt is an understatement, but at least everyone looks beautiful. As the time nears to the ball, Luna and I head back to our room. We both slip into our dresses. I help Luna with her zipper in the back and she helps me with mine. I quickly put on a gold necklace that matches the design of the hair accessory along with a matching bracelet and set of earrings. I dust myself in perfume, the honey and vanilla filling my senses, and the smell of it along with Luna's collides and makes the room smell like an expensive perfume shop. Lastly on the list was my shoes, I slip them on and tie them around my ankles and wait for Luna to finish. Luna's finished product makes her look like a princess. I gawk at her in awe, "Luna you look amazing!" I swear if she wasn't into Ginny, I'd most definitely make a move on her. We stand side by side, drinking ourselves in, through the mirror. The sapphire blue shade compliments my skin perfectly, the highlight gently illuminating my collarbone and shoulders. I bring my eyes up to my face, admiring my handiwork, not too bad [Y/N], my makeup enhances my features and my hair sits gently in the bun.

Luna and I rush down the stone stairs of the Ravenclaw Tower and rush to meet up with our Gryffindor clan. Our heels make hollow clicks against the stone flooring that echoes throughout the halls. I nearly ran into somebody but it's just Harry. The rest of our friends turn the corner and we all gasp and shout 'oooo's' at each other. We are a good looking group, probably the best looking in this school honestly. Hermione's dress is a stunning red and Ginny's dress is a gorgeous burgundy. The boys look ravishing, especially Fred and George, my eyes lingering on them, as I bring my eyes back up to their face I catch them mirroring my actions, looking me up and down too. As we begin walking to the Great Hall, Luna and Ginny walk side by side as well as Hermione, Ron and Harry. I walk in between Fred and George and I lock arms with theirs.

The Great Hall is decorated quite nicely. There are leaves falling from the ceiling and tables full of carved pumpkins, sweets and pumpkin pies. The air smells like a mix between pumpkin spice and apples, it's absolutely divine. Saying that I love this time of year is a massive understatement.

When we reach the entrance steps, people turn their heads and gasp at the sight of us. We aren't anything that special, they see us everyday, we're just wearing formal wear now. I whisper in the twins ears, "Listen they must want you to sign autographs later, The famously Weasley brothers I can see it now." They chuckle and tease me in return. Most people had stuck to their house colours while dressing themselves. Luna and Ginny, followed by the rest, walk to an open table for us all to sit. I slowly begin to walk down the steps, looking for familiar faces but all I see are boys dolling after Hermione and girls whispering to each other, I will break bone joints if anyone says a bad word about 'Mione, Ginny or Luna. I notice a certain boy eyeing me up, it's Malfoy. I shoot him a dirty look accompanied by a sarcastic wink as I continue to walk behind my friends. Oliver comes running behind me and stops me in my tracks.
