Christmas was around the corner and the day before the start of the holidays, they would go in a Christmas Ball. In Hogwarts.
Janey, Mathew and Rose were sitting to do homework in a desk at the common room. Rose was feeling better in the common room than the library. The common room really felt like home.
"Rose, you're going with Scorpius right?" Mathew asked.
"Yeah why?" Rose asked. Mathew laughed.
"Poor boy, he has driven everyone crazy in the dormitory with his worries. He thinks that you don't like him anymore"
Rose rolled her eyes.
"I'll show him in the Ball. Anyway, we should go for dinner. I'm starving" Rose said.
After dinner, Rose went back to her dormitory and pulled out a red and black dress. She hadn't showed anyone, she waited until the other day.
"Get it" Max screamed and threw a snowball at Elizabeth.
"MAX!" Elizabeth screamed. She pulled her wand and loads of snow fall at Max.
"We're going to get ready" Rose said.
"You have three hours? You want three hours to get ready?" Scorpius yelped.
"So. Let's start with hair, then make up and then the clothes" Tiffany said.
Rose pulled her hair into a half ponytail before putting that in a bun, wrapping it with a golden hair ornament. Her dress was beautiful. It was trimmed with black lace in a floral shape, and black sequins and beads at her bust-line. Her slippers that she wore were very fine crimson and black high heels, and she wore expensive looking jewelry, a gold and pearl trimmed necklace and matching earrings.
"God Rose, you are awesome!" Janey said.
"I hope that Scorpius will stop thinking that I don't like him"
The girls left and when Rose glanced in the clock and saw that half an hour had passed since the Balk had started.
When she opened the door, the talks and laughs stopped and everyone stared at Rose in shock. Ron dropped his glass of wine, Hermione was in tears, Astoria Malfoy and Pansy Nott- Parkinson, who Rose started calling 'Aunt Pansy, were smirking and her friends were smiling.
Finally, the talks filled again the Great Hall.
"Let's find a table to sit" Bella laughed.
"I'll take roast beef, potatoes and a glass of non-alcoholic drink" Rose said in a house- elf.
"From where did you get that dress?" Danny asked Rose.
"Mrs. Malfoy gived it to me" Rose said.
"Come on. Let's go and dance" Scorpius said and pulled her in the stage.
The night, Rose stared at the ceiling. She was happy about her life, she had a home, she had friends. Despite all that, she missed her family. She missed her father's jokes, her mother's brains, Uncle's George's tricks, Grandma's cooking, everything. But when God close a door, he opens another door. That's what Rose was thinking.
A/N. I just published a new story with Rose too. She couldn't attend Hogwarts and she was attending Muggle School. I'm writing about her experience. Read it and drop a review if you want.
