Around five thirty in the afternoon Hermione stood up and started to pack her bags. When she was finished she turned to her friends and cousin.
"Come on Amber, it is time to go. We have to go and get ready for tonight."
"Alright, let's go."
Amber stood up and grabbed her belongings before starting to head for the door.
"It was nice to meet you guys. I hope we can get together again soon."
"Of course Amber, Mione is lucky to have a cousin like you."
"Awe thank you Draco, that was sweet."
"No problem Amber."
The two girls walked out of the room and towards the elevator. When the elevator reached their floor they stepped out and walked towards their room. When they entered they saw that Veronica was finishing changing into her dress for the night. She was wearing a short light pink dress that ended about mid-thigh. Both thought the dress was ugly and revealing, because it had a deep V-neck and a big pink flower under her bust. The dress was also very tight and to the girls it looked like Veronica couldn't breathe in it. Veronica looked at her two cousins, scoffed, and left the room after grabbing her bag.
The two girls walked over to their respective bags and pulled out what they needed. Hermione headed towards the bathroom to take a shower, while she was in the shower there was a knock on the door. Amber headed over to the door and opened it to find no one in the hallway. She was about to shut the door when she looked down and saw a white box sitting in front of the door. She bent down and picked it up, she turned back around and set it on the bed and read the tag on the top saying it was for Hermione.
A few seconds later Amber heard the bathroom door open and her cousin walk out, saying it was her turn. Hermione walked up behind her cousin and looked at the box on the bed. She saw that it was for her before she sat down and opened it. Inside was a note that was addressed to her.
Dear Love,
Here is a dress that would look beautiful on you, well even more beautiful than normal. I picked it out myself, so I expect you to wear it tonight. I will see you at dinner my lovely lady.
Love,
Your Dragon
Hermione shook her head and sighed.
"Only Draco can compliment me, brag about himself, and demand something in a short note."
"Really?"
"Yeah, go ahead and shower and then when you get out, I'll show it to you."
"Alright thanks."
Amber headed off to the bathroom as Hermione unwrapped the dress. She pulled it out and laid it on her bed so she could get a better look at it. It was a deep purple, sweetheart, natural waist, minor ball gown dress. There was black beading down the bodice and all the way down to the bottom of the dress, all in all it was beautiful. After she put it on she walked over to her fancy shoes and found a pair of plain black heels. She put them on before walking over to her make up and began to put it on at the vanity in the room. It was then that Amber walked out of the bathroom in her dress, when she was her cousin her jaw just about hit the floor.
"Mia you look amazing."
"Thanks Amber, you look really good too. How about I do your make up?"
"Sure."
"Alright come over here so I can work on you."
Amber laughed but followed her cousin's instructions. When she sat down Hermione got straight to work, she finished a few minutes later and started to work on her cousin's hair. When she was done she turned her towards the mirror and smiled when she heard her cousin gasp as she looked at herself. Amber slowly reached up and tentavely touched her hair before turning towards her cousin in awe.
"How did you learn to do this?"
"You learn a lot when your rommates are fashionistas."
"Really your roommates were fashionistas?"
"Yep. I learned a thing or two from them."
"Thanks Mione."
"No problem, now go finish up while I do the same."
Amber stood up and walked over to her bag and grabbed her shoes and jewelry. Hermione sat down and started to work on her hair. She started to pull some of it up in to a bun as she brushed it up and out. She worked on her hair for about five minutes, and the final result was a high class up-do with a few strands framing her face. After she was finished she grabbed her and put on her regular jewelry before turning to look at her cousin. When she turned around she saw that her cousin was dressed and waiting on her. Hermione stood up, grabbed her purse, and left the room with Amber following after her. The duo talked and laughed all the way down to the dinning room. When they entered they saw a few extra chairs set up and saw that Draco and friends were already there. They walked over to their family and saw that Zacharias was there as well. After everyone sat down Draco leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"So I see you took my advice and wore the dress."
"I didn't have a choice now did I?"
"I guess not, but still."
They smiled at each other, but were interupted by someone clearing their throats. They turned to see it was Hermione's Aunt CeCe.
"So Hermione, Draco how did the two of you meet?"
"Well, we met when we were eleven on the train to our school. At first we didn't like each other, he was stuck up and a bully."
"While she was a know-it-all, who never shut up!"
All the friends laughed as if it were an inside joke.
"But dear, if you hated each other, how did you two end up engaged?"
"Well Aunt Maggie, as we grew older he was still a jerk, till our last year of school. We were heads together and spent a lot of time together. I started to notice that he changed and we grew close."
"Alright dear, how did you meet your friends here?"
"I met Harry and Ron on the train, we didn't get along together at first either. Though we became best friends around Halloween. Then I met Ginny before school started for my second year. She is Ron's little sister and came with them for school supplies since it was her first year. Lastly I met Luna in my fifth year, she is in the same year as Ginny, but a different house."
"Houses?"
"Yes, Aunt Cassie. There is four houses at my school, one or two for a certain trait. Ron, Ginny, Harry, and I were in one house, Luna in another, and Draco in another."
"What were the traits?"
"Ours was bravery and courage, Luna's was knowledge and wit, Dray's was ambition and cunning, and the last one was for team work and honesty. Which ever traits a student showed more over that was what house they were in."
"How was it decided on which house they were in?"
"They would look at different things from old school reports to interviews with the students and families."
"Interesting."
They spent the rest of the evening talking and the couple and friends were being badgered with questions. They just hoped they could survive the next morning before everyone could leave tomorrow morning after breakfast.
Hey y'all I hope you liked this chapter. Will anything crazy happen tomorrow morning? Will Hermione finally snap and yell at her stuck up cousins, aunts, and uncles?
