Chapter 10

"Hey Stell." "Gin your here come on you can get ready in my room." "Thanks is Tay here yet?" "Ya she got here like 5 minutes ago." "Cool lets go." She grabbed Estella's arm and pulled her into her bedroom. "Hey Tay." "Oh hey Ginny." They all started getting dressed. "Tay do you have a date?" "Ya actually Lee asked me." "What. You are just telling us this now!" "Sorry he just asked me yesterday. What about you Estella?" "Nope I mean I will dance with Jake, and Draco but I do that every year. And me and Jake will walk down the stairs together like every year. Who are you walking down with Ginny " "Well Harry offered. So what exactly happens at these balls?" "Well me and Jake actually wrote a song to remember it." "Seriously?" "Yep do you guys wanna hear it?" "Ya if it will help us know what to do." "🎶you will hear your name. Make sure your hair is tame. Walk in and curtsy. Walk off to the side. Take a seat. Make your dress look neat. Then you can dance. Say hi to Lance. Then we will eat. Get your sweets. Now we dance. We are not in France. Last we say our good byes and leave.🎶" "okay two questions who is lance and why did you say we are not in France?" "Oh Lance is this really kind man that attends the ball every year. He helped me and Jake every day with school. And when I was young he babysat me sometimes. And the first time Jake cape we were twelve and he had never really been to a fancy event so he asked me if we were in France obviously in a joking way but now I use it as a joke." "Wow this whole ball seems complicated." "Not really. You just walk,curtsy,dance,eat,dance at some point I have to say hi to lance and then we leave." "You make it sound so easy." "Ya well I have been doing it since I was 4." "Really?" "Ya me and my dad walked down together." "That's sweet." "Ya there are some great pictures. And I know you are nervous now but once you get there it's fun and it's beautiful." "I know I'm just really nervous I mean what if I fall I doubt Lee can ketch me." "I was 13 and fell." "Really?" "Yep I brought Jake down with me." "Oh my gosh this is going to be a great story." "We were just walking and then I fell and since I was holding Jake's hand I pulled him down with me. We both broke out into laughter. And then Lance walked over to help us up. That's part of the reason we like Lance so much. So we got up my dad couldn't stop laughing. By that time the entire room had know me since I was 4 and the kids were always nice so they understood the clumsiness. They laughed too but not at us with us." "Wow you actually fell." "Yep and my dad ended up on the floor he was laughing so hard." "I don't believe that." "Taylor have you met her dad." "Good point." "The point is Tay you will be fine. And if you do fall me and Jake will do something to take the attention off of you." "Aww thanks Stell." "Anytime now I am going to go get some snacks from the kitchen on my list is chocolate chips, sour cream and onion Pringle's, ice cream chocolate chip cookies, ice cream. Anything else?" "Ya don't forget the whip cream." "Ohh could you get some frosting?" "Okay frosting and whip cream. Is that it?" "Yep." "Ya." With that she ran down stairs to the kitchen. Her eyes were looking at the food making sure she didn't drop anything, so she didn't realize the red headed boy in front of her. "Ouch!" "Sorry Fred I wasn't paying attention." "How do you know I'm not George?" "because you have more freckles than George." "Wow no one has ever realized that." "Ya well I'm special." "Ya you are. Now why do you need all this food?" "Because me and the girls are hungry." "And you are giving the rest of the food to three villages." "Hey it's not that much!" "Ya it is." "Shut up." "Fine fine so what exactly happens at these balls." "Wow I have to sing you the song to fine here it is 🎶you will hear your name. Make sure your hair is tame. Walk in and curtsy. Walk off to the side. Take a seat. Make your dress look neat. Then you can dance. Say hi to Lance. Then we will eat. Get your sweets. Now we dance. We are not in France. Last we say our good byes and leave.🎶 you can ask Jake who Lance is and why I said it's not France." "Okay then I would imagine you guys are going together." "No we walk in together have 1 dance 2 at the most. But besides that we just hang out together. I dance with Draco once. I dance with Harry once. I dance with my Dad and Remus. And besides that I'm free." "Well then Estella would you be my date." "I would love to Fred but I can't walk down the steps with you." "I know and that's fine I will wait for you at the bottom." "Sound great well I have to go." "Okay then see ya soon." She than ran up the stairs. "Girls guess what!" "What?" "Fred just asked me too the ball I'm going to walk down the steps with Jake and then he is going to be at the bottom." "No way." "Yes way I'm glad I didn't wear my dress down there I am coated in frosting I might have fell." They cleaned up and finished getting ready.
