Bella's Pov
It was the day the whole school was waiting for, The Yule Ball.
Girls were going crazy over there looks while guys were buying breath spray.
I was in the library studying until I heard "Bella" I looked to see who had snapped me out of my daze to see Hermione "yes Hermione?" I replied.
" I have a favor to ask of you"
"yes"
"could you help me get ready for the ball?"
"of course Hermione and I would be honored so when would you like to start"
"now would be great"
"now? but its only 3:30"
"yes buy we both might take a while"
"I guess your right"
We went to Hermione's room and grabbed her things then went to mine "so first I will do your nails what is your dress like?"
"would you like to see it?"
"of course."
She pulled the dress out and saw nothing but pink frills "oh my god" "do you like it?" "like it?... IT'S HIDEOUS that dress looks like a barbie shitted pink" "what" she said crushed "you are not wearing that thing anywhere"
"but I have nothing else"
"well I have an Idea"
I walked towards the Hufflepuff common room but I didn't know the password just then I heard "oddsbodikins" behind me the portrait opened and I turned around to see Anthony "hey thanks have you seen Cedric?"
"no but he is probably in the common room" he said while he pointed for me to enter first.
We walked in to the common room and saw Cedric reading on one of the seats I called his name "Cedric" he turned to see me and said "hey what are you doing here? and how did you get in?"
I turned around to see Anthony gone "well Anthony let me in but I need a favor"
"yes sure anything"
"could you get me a dress in a size three?"
"like from Hosmeade?"
"yes I am sort of helping out Hermione and she has nothing to wear and I know its four but I don't know who else I could ask"
"calm down Bella I'll do it"
"really? oh thank you thank you thank you" I said jumping up and down.
"It's fine" I hugged him and said "you are my hero" and hugged him once again and said "great I will be in my room could you just give it to us when your back?" "sure" I was walking out until I heard "wait" I turned around and he asked me "what do you want the dress to look like?"
"I don't know your a guy pick something that you would think Hermione would look good in" I said while walking out I went back to the room and helped Hermione with hair and make up.
Cedric's Pov
I woke up next morning to a blinding light "oh sorry Ced did I wake you?" Anthony apologized "yes but its fine I was going to wake up sometime anyway" "so the ball is tonight?..." " yes I am aware of that Anthony" "so?" " so?" "you excited?" "well I guess." "what do you mean you guess?" "well yes I am excited" "whatever" "man and put a shirt on" I looked down to see my bare stomach.
I went and grabbed a shirt and headed to freshen up.
Once I freshened up I went down for breakfast and I looked for Bella but I couldn't find her I knew I would have to wait until the ball to see her, I finished breakfast and went up to the common room to read a book until it was time for the ball.
I had read about half of the book until I heard "Cedric." Bella explained to me about helping Hermione and how she needed a dress which brings me here.
I walked into the dress shop and saw Ms Wulfric she looked up and walked towards me "Oh dear your back so soon? Is your pretty girl with you?"
"oh no but she sent me here to get a dress"
"oh of course dear which one may I recommend this one"
she held up a silk blue gown and said "she looks lovely in blue"
"actually its not for her she is doing a friend a favor and she needs a dress"
"oh okay well which one"
"I don't know she sent me saying size three and what ever I would think she would look great in"
"well?"
"I have no idea"
"well describe her"
" she has brown hair and brown eyes and light skin"
"hmm all right I will see what I can do" she walked around and looked at dresses and then pulled out a pale pink dress with a gold strap.
"Here let me pack this for you"
"thanks Ms Wulfric" she packed it and gave it to me "Bye dear and have fun at the ball"
"thank you again Ms Wulfric"
I got back to Hogwarts by six and had a girl from Beauxbaton help me get to Bella's room.
I walked up to her door and knocked "who is it?"
I heard Bella "Cedric" somebody squealed and Bella opened the door I held up the dress which was in a black cover "oh my god you made it"
I gave her the dress and she took a look her face looked amazed and then she did something unexpected.
She grabbed my arm and dragged me in to her room "Hermione" she called and Hermione came out Bella turned towards her and pulled out the dress "aaaaaaah I cant believe it! thank you thank you thank you! Bella!" "your welcome but Cedric went and got the dress"
Hermione looked at me and said "thank you so much"
"it's my pleasure Hermione and I am sure you will look great in that dress"
"thank you"
"well I should get going"I said as I left for the door.
Bella walked beside me to the door and said "Thank you so much Cedric" she then hugged me and kissed me on my cheek "see you tonight" she winked and then went back in the room while I stood there in a daze.
I put my hand on my cheek and walked up to my room in a daze, I got up to my room and got dressed in my dress robe thing I checked the time and it was 6:30.
I combed my hair and make sure that my clothes were on right and I grabbed the jewel encrusted clips by then it was time to meet Bella in the corridor, it was seven and I stood there in the middle and waited for her to walk down.
I looked around and saw Harry and Cho laughing together by the entrance and turned to Ron wearing some funky colored womanly frilly dress robe standing with Padma Patil.
Suddenly I saw everybody look towards the top of the stairs and I turned to see Hermione Granger in the dress and looking like a different girl, she walked down the stairs to Viktor Krum and they both walked to the corner with Cho and Harry. I waited another minute before the whole corridor once again quieted down I turned around to see my beautiful date.
She was breathtaking in a blue-green floor length gown with green jewels encrusted into the dress.
She walked to me as I bowed to her and held my hand out for her she smiled and put her hand in mine and slid her arm through mine.
I finally spoke "You look absolutely breathtaking Bella"
"thank you, you don't look so bad yourself oh and by the way love the suit"
"oh so that is what its called" she laughed a gorgeous laugh and asked "why are you not wearing a dress robe like everyone else?"
"well Anthony told me you would like this more than a dress robe"
"well he was right"
"great oh and these are for you" I held up my hand with the two jewel encrusted clips and she gasped "where did you get these? there beautiful"
"Ms. Wulfric" Bella turned around so you could see her right side and she pulled her hair to the side "could you?" "oh yes of course"
I took the two clips and put them in her hair. "shall we?" I said as I offered her my arm she slid her arm through again and we walked to the rest of the champions.
Once we reached Bella and I were bombarded with compliments "wow Bella you look beautiful" Hermione said
"thanks Hermione and you look gorgeous"
Then Cho spoke "sorry Cedric Harry told me the truth about how Bella faked the whole thing" we looked at Bella and she looked guilty
"but I am glad she did it" Cho said smiling "me too" Bella said and she looked at me.
"oh come on Cedric we need to take pictures" Bella then dragged me to the camera man "all right stand together now" he said.
I stood there not knowing what to do then Bella grabbed my arms and wrapped them around her body and she hugged me as she smiled she turned her head towards the camera and held on tighter "oh what a beautiful couple! now smile pretty and he took the picture, now would you like to me to take another?" "Yeah I do" Bella replied.
She then turned around in my arms and put her arms on top of mine "okay take it" she said.
He took the picture and then asked "another?" "yes hold on" Bella replied. She looked at me with a strange look and suddenly looked happy "kiss me" she said "what?" "I said kiss me" "okay" I slowly leaned in and she grabbed me and then moved her head so she was facing the camera she then pulled me until my lips were on her cheek and the photographer took a picture of her smiling as I kissed her cheek.
"All right any more pictures for the beautiful couple?" the photographer asked "no thats enough" Bella said.
"Well who do we need to send these too?" the photographer asked,"send a copy to Tyler and Nora Swan in California"
"California?"
"yes as in America"
"oh all right and you sir" he looked towards me and asked "oh too Amos and Rose Diggory in Ottery St. Catchpole"
"All right how many each and what sizes?"
"I want every size and two of each" Bella answered.
The photographer nodded and looked at me " same" I told him
"all right your order is done and you can go have fun at the ball"
"thank you" Bella said then she looked towards me.
I then held my arm out "shall we?" I asked her she smiled and said "we shall" then looped her arm between mine and we started walking to the other champions once again.
Everybody was chatting cheerfully while Professor Mcgonigall walked up to us, all right champions please form a line and I would like you two first" she said as she pointed to Bella and I, "all right you will walk on to the dance floor and will have the first dance and be sure to have fun" We were all lined up, it wasn't long until the huge doors opened and it was time for us to walk.
