I'm looking for something in red
Something that's shocking to turn someone's head
Strapless and sequined and cut down to there
Stockings and garters and lace underwear
The guaranteed number to knock the men dead
I'm looking for something in red
-Lorrie Morgan 'Something in Red'
Hermione and Ginny were shopping for the upcoming graduation ball. Ginny was currently in the changing room while Hermione sat on the couch flipping through the 'Daily Prophet'.
"Hermione! I think this is the one!" Ginny squealed from inside the changing room.
Hermione sighed, "Gin, you have said that bout the last 7 you have tried on. And they all have looked wonderful on you."
"I am not looking for wonderful, 'Mione." Ginny said, as she walked out in a light grey dress with tulle skirt the hugged her curves. "I am looking for stunning."
"Well, I think you found it. That dress is gorgeous on you Gin. Harry will die." Hermione said standing up to get a better look at her red headed friend.
"I know right." Gin smiled as she twirled around. "I am going to get this one."
"Good pick."
Ginny stopped twirling and looked at Hermione, "We need to find you a dress still. How stupid of me, we have spent the last two hours looking for me and we haven't even started looking for you!"
Hermione shook her head, "Ginny, I don't need one. I will just wear a dress robe."
"Oh, no no no. There is no way I am going to let you walk out of here with nothing. Come on, there has got to be a dress here for you." Ginny pulled Hermione's arm and pulled her to the dress section. "Start looking."
Hermione sighed, there was no way she was going to win this. Reluctantly she started looking at dress when something caught her eye. In the very back of the rack was a simple red dress. It was strapless and had a bow in the back. "Ginny!" Hermione called.
"Yeah?" Ginny asked, coming over
"Look." Hermione took the dress off the rack and held it up so she could see.
"Omigosh! Hermione that is the one! Simple yet elegant!" Ginny shrieked, "You are defiantly going to turn someone's head."
Hermione admired her find, "Yeah, I hope it turns his head."
Ginny nodded, "Yes. Now we must find you some lace underwear and-"
"Ginny! I do not need lace underwear!"
"If you don't want to have underwear line, yes you do"
Hermione huffed but said nothing.
The next night was the ball. Ginny and Luna helped Hermione with her hair and jewelry.
"Don't be so nervous 'Mione. If he doesn't notice you in this dress then he is mental." Ginny said.
Luna nodded in agreement.
There was a knock on the door and Ginny went to open it. Outside were Harry and Dean waiting for their dates. Ginny looked at Hermione and winked, "See you there."
When they were gone Hermione sighed, 'Please let this get Ron's attention' she prayed.
Walking down to the Great Hall five minutes late made Hermione sweat. She couldn't believe she agreed to arrive late, just to turn a head.
When the doors opened and she walked through them she saw that everyone was looking at her. Blushing almost as red as her dress she tried to hurry over to where Harry and Ginny were standing. Suddenly her heels caught on her dress and she went flying down to the floor. Before she hit the floor two strong arms grabbed her waist. Looking up she saw that it was Ron who had saved her. "Stupid shoes." She muttered while her heart sped up.
Ron smiled, "Well, I am glad that I could be your prince tonight."
Hermione smiled and couldn't look away from his sea blue eyes. After a few minutes of staring into each other's eyes Ron asked, "Would you like to dance Hermione?"
All she could do was nodded yes. Holding her hand he led her to the dance floor. Many men woofed whistled and she blushed and hid her face in Ron's shoulders. He held her close and whispered, "That color looks great on you, by the way."
