The First Look

-Ron gets his dress robes

*Layla's POV*

We were at breakfast. I was sitting next to Hermione with Ron and Harry on the other side

"Look at this!" Hermione said

"Huh?" I asked

"I can't believe it! She's done it again" Hermione added

"Who?" I said

"Miss Black, a plain but ambitious girl seems to be developing a taste for famous wizards. Her latest prey, sources report is none other than the Bulgarian bonbon, Victor Krum. No works yet on how Harry Potter's taking this latest emotional blow" Hermione said

"That's stupid. All I did was hug Harry" I said rolling my eyes

Harry rolled his eyes as well and shook his head as he ate. Ron was given a box by some kid named Nigel

"Oh look, mum's sent me something" Ron said opening the package

Ron pulled out something that looked like a dress

"Mum sent me a dress." Ron said looking at it

"Well it does match your eyes" I laughed

"Is here a bonnet?," Harry said

Harry grabbed the other thing in the box "Aha"

"Put those down Harry" Ron said annoyed "Ginny, these must be for you"

Ron went closer to where Ginny was

"I'm not wearing that, it's ghastly" Ginny said

Hermione started to laugh

"What're you on about?" Ron asked

"They're not for Ginny, they're for you," Hermione laughed "Dress robes"

"Dress robes? For what?"

Professor McGonagall has us in a room

"The Yule ball has been a tradition, of the Tri-Wizard tournament since its inception. On Christmas Eve night, we and our guests gather in the Great Hall for a night of well-mannered frivolity" McGonagall spoke "As  representatives of the host school I expect each and every one of you to put your best foot forward. And I mean this literally because, the Yule Ball is, first and foremost, a dance"

People started whispering. Mainly the girls but some boys as well

"The house of Godric Gryffindor has commanded the respect of the wizard world for nearly 10 centuries. I will not have you, in the course of a single evening, besmirching that name by behaving like a babbling bumbling band of baboons." McGonagall said "Now to dance is to let the body breath. Inside every girl, a serect swan slumbers longing to burst forth and take flight.."

I laughed a bit because, I mean, technically I am a swan

"Inside every boy, a lordly lion prepared to prance. Mr. Weasley,"

As Ron walked up and started dancing with McGonagall, I looked at Harry across the room and mocked Ron.

"Everybody come together, boys on your feet!"

I went and practiced dancing with Hermione

I walked out of the the room with Ron and Harry. Hermione stayed and talked with Ginny

"Going to take your new girlfriend, McGonagall, to the ball Ron?" I laughed

"She isn't-" Ron started
