GINNY'S POINT OF VIEW
It was finally the day of the Yule Ball! Ginny and Luna were in their dormitory, preparing.
Luna was the first girl ready and looked fabulous! Her blond hair was up in an elaborate hairdo and her dress, midnight blue, looked surprisingly subtle and slim-fitting on her. Her makeup was mysterious and natural, which gave her an overall look of coolness and mystery, which fit Luna perfectly.

This was a smart idea, Ginny thought.
Ron was wearing a suit with a maroon tie—Mum must have gotten it for him, Ginny reasoned. He looked reasonably happy with Hermione holding his hand.
Finally, there was Harry. He was wearing a suit like Ron's, but his tie was bright red.
He swung me into his arms. "You look splendid!" he cried out, twirling me. Laughing and blushing, Ginny pulled out of his embrace and
