Part Eight
It's basically the day before the dance. You're panicking on what you're going to wear. You and Angelina went to buy dresses but you couldn't find the right one. You hated the pinks and the reds and oranges and striped. So you hated them all. But yea. Who's fault was it to have made such bright dresses. Couldn't the colours have been dark blue, deep maroon, or black. Yea!!! Black. That was probably you're second favourite colour. So what it's a shade. It still good.
"-----, you are soo messed. Unless a black dress appears right now, you're going to have nothing good to wear at the dance." Angelina points out the obvious. "Well then I could always wear one of my really nice shirts and a skirt." You say quietly. Angelina explodes. Saying how Oliver would probably think you were tormenting him because of the whole silent treatment thing. You tune out and start thinking of what Oliver might wear. You know all the guys are going casual. So why can't you.
You desperately pray that some how you'll figure something out. You send an owl to Sirius and Lupin. You draw a diagram of the dress and the color, you send them the stuff you had gotten for them at Hogsmeade and send them the money for the dress. You borrow Hedwig. You watch her leave.
As you get back to the common room. You see everyone gathered over something. As you come closer you see George and Angelina. You smile. He's giving her a bracelet. It's a charm bracelet. You see them hug and think It's about time
Everyone is getting lovey dovey, yet you can't stand it. You have no clue why, but you can't take it anymore. You go for a walk around the lake. You seem to feel better out of that atmosphere in the common room. You thought you were going to just scream.
Once inside again you go to your room. You 're waiting for a reply from Lupin and Sirius. You fall asleep waiting. It's about three hours before you wake up. And you wake up not because you wanted to, but because something's pecking at you. It takes you a few moments to register that the form pecking at you is Hedwig. "Hey Hedwig, that was fast."
You take the package and open it hastily. You take out the black dress with silver delicate work on it. It's breathtaking. You write a thank you to Sirius and Lupin.
