The rose which started it all

Chapter 5. The Party

I studied my own reflection in the mirror. The make up I had done this morning was all smudged. My mascara had been running down my cheeks leaving after my eyes got watered by the wind. The worst part was probably my black lipstick which was all over my chin. This wouldn't be easy removing...

I groaned.
"This is gonna be a pain removing!" I said irretrievably, "I was planning on taking a shower anyways, it'll probably be the easiest way to remove the makeup too."

"Okay, do you know what to wear?" Laura asked as though it was the most important question in the world,
"We need to look good. It's the first party this year. If we don't look good we won't get a good impression!"

"No,I don't know, I'll come up with something." I answered her.
"Don't worry. Go take a shower and I'll pick your outfit," Laura said and hurried to pick an outfit for me.

I walked into one of our dormitory's bathrooms. It was a beautiful bathroom. It was made in white marble and the tap in bronze, detailed with sapphires.

I quickly turned on the shower and got undressed. How I wanted to share a shower with Draco, I thought and smirked. My smirk quickly disappeared as I realised the fact that some lucky girl in this school already had gotten the chance. Might even get it tonight if heated things happened at the party, which it usually does.

The warm water hugged my body giving me goosebumps. I didn't have much time until the party started– so I need to hurry. When I had washed my body and hair I used a hair removing spell on my legs and down there, "Harias remuvias!"
you never know what happens on parties.

After I was done with my steaming hot shower I quickly dried myself using a complicated, but useful drying spell. I put on my hottest underwear and a white soft dressing gown.

"There you are! I have the best outfit for you!" Laura burst out as I walked out of the bathroom, "Just look." she said confidently and held up an emerald green silk midi dress. It was perfect for occasions like this, not too dressed up, not too simple and perfect for dancing.

"Woop woop! The slytherin queen is ready to get her skytherin prince", Laura teased me.
I tried to give her an angry look but it's hard to be angry with Laura, instead I laughed.
"I'm a Ravenclaw dumbo!" I answered amused.

Suddenly the door burst open and our fourth roommate stumbled in,
"Sarah! There you are!" Carlie said, "We were wondering where you went. Didn't see you this morning or on the match."

A pinkish color spread on Sarah's cheeks,
"Er, I was with Ernie. We watched the match together."
"Ernie? Ernie McMillan?" I asked curiously but doubting.

"No of course not! Not him, I'd never date a hufflepuff. They're really lame. Not my type in any way." Sarah said and then continued "I mean Ernie Fernandez."

Chonk!
Carlie has dropped her hairbrush in surprise of the news, Laura and I gasped.
"But he's like one of the hottest guys in school? How did you? I mean not that you're not the hottest bitch alive but...!" Laura asked with a little bit of jealousy in her voice.

"I honestly have no idea. But he's like the sweetest guy ever!" Sarah said excitedly brushing her brown hair over her shoulder, "He has so much respect towards girls. He told Smith off last term when he slut-shamed a girl after getting raped by Diggory. And like have you seen his new hairstyle?" Sarah continued all excited as though she had waited all her life to talk about this with us.

"Yes! The pineapple inspired hairstyle, isn't it hot?" Carlie said. Everyone agreed.
"Ok I need to get ready for the party. Let's talk about boys while we're getting ready!" Sarah said and begun to pick herself an outfit.
