Dear Sam,

First it is good to hear from you! I miss you too! And I think its a wonderful idea for Christmas, and we will definitely be attending. All Weasleys will. And about your question.

You know when your in love when you don't have to go to sleep at night, because reality is finally better than your dreams. Love is when you know everything about the person, both good and bad and you still want to be with them. It's when you feel comfortable to tell them everything, even the stuff you are not proud of. It's when you feel 100% comfortable with them but can still get weak in the knees and butterflies in your stomach when you walk into the room and see them smile at you. It's when you don't need make up or clothes to hide behind. It's when you can apologize even if you didn't do anything just because you don't want to fight anymore. Its when you are so upset, then in one sentence they can make everything better. you know when your in love when you can look at the person your interested in and say 'i love you' without hesitation.

From what you've told me.. It sounds like your in love with him. I know everyone will be disappointed I told you. But that's the truth. You need to think of two questions, if their yes. Then I'm right. Would you do anything in your power to protect him? And.. Would you care if he was screaming at you, as long as you knew he was safe and that he was near you?

Love, Molly Weasley.
PS. I packed some cookies for you!
PPS: And about the Mr. Right question.. Is he everything you want him to be?

"Sam!" Sam looked up, it was Kylee, "Do you want to get ready yet?"

Sam looked down at the letter, then handed to Kylee, "Here." Kylee grabbed it and started reading, "We've almost kissed twice since the first time! Please tell me I'm just mental Kylee!"

Kylee bit her lip, "Sam there's something I've been meaning to tell you.."

Sam bolted up, "What?"

Kylee sat on Sam's bed, "I kind of.. Like Fred. Well according to this letter, I don't just like him."

"Since when?"

"This summer, at my Uncle Charles's funeral."

"Oh."

"Sam, the only reason I didn't tell you was because I was nervous."

"No, its fine. I understand. But I've got to go help with the decorations. Do you wanna help?" Kylee smiled and nodded.

They walked down to the Great Hall talking about the letter.

"Hey girls!" Molly yelled. They walked into the Great Hall, "Okay Sam, perform your magic."

Sam looked at the door, and pulled out her wand. Molly walked away, Kylee stood there.

"Your gonna make it so we know who is who right?"

Sam smirked, "Yup. Only me and you though. Then everyone else will just be hazy till midnight when everyone takes off the mask."

Thirty minutes later there were orange and black decorations everywhere.

All the prefects and Kylee looked around.

"It looks fantastic. I guess we all should get ready." Kylee and Sam ran to their dorm. Brittany, Ellie and Brandy were all getting ready in the Ravenclaw dorm. Katherine and Alice were getting ready in their dorm too.

"Okay, makeup first. Then hair. Then carefully the dress. Katherine, can you do Sam's makeup?"

Katherine smiled, "Sure. Come here Sam." Sam sat on Katherine's vanity chair. She started with foundation, then eyeshadow (gold and dark gold), eyeliner, mascara, then plumper. Katherine waved her wand, "There it will stay perfect like this all night."

"Wow Sam! You look so pretty!" Alice gushed.

"Yeah," Kylee said with her hands on her hips, "She does with makeup, but she rarely wears it. She doesn't need to." Stephanie ran in.

"Sam! I need help!" She turned and looked at Sam, "Damn, you look beautiful."

"Thank you. What do you need help with? Well Molly is helping Rose and Dominque, and I wanted to know if you could help me with mine."

"Uh, yeah sure. What are you?" Stephanie held up a white dress, "An angel."

Katherine laughed, "Come here, I can do your makeup easily." Stephanie sat down, "Do you have a mask?"

"We were gonna paint wings on my face like a mask."

"I can do that."

Sam was pulled over to another chair and vanity.

Alice smirked, "Okay I'm going to do your hair. I've got an idea, don't tell me you hate it until I'm done. Can you make your hair curly?" Sam wiggled her nose and her hair was curly. Not bushy, but looked like it had been done by a muggle thing called a curly i ron (?). Alice smiled, Sam's hair is always side parted too, so it made her job easier. She twisted her hair into a messy bun, but left some curly strands on the side. She put a bobbi pin on them so they looked good, looked like they weren't pulled back, but wouldn't get in Sam's way.

Alice stepped back and tapped her lips, "Its missing something, and no Sam you can't look." Kylee walked over, in her makeup, her hair was slightly curled and down.

"Your right." She paused for a moment then snapped, "I got it." She walked over to her hair stuff box. Then walked back over, "My mom gave me these. Their everlasting flowers, they'll match her costume perfectly." There were five orange carnations with some black roses. She clipped them behind Sam's ear, "There."

"Kylee I can't take those. Their yours you were so happy to get them."

"Yes, but I know you'll give them back to me. In perfect condition."

"Kylee, I love you!"

"I know, I love you hun. Now come on, go put on your dress." Sam walked into the bathroom where Kylee already had put it. Sam slowly put it on. Then she saw the shoes.

"KYLEE NO WAY IN HECK! I WOULDN'T CARE IF VOLDEMORT HAD A WAND POINTED AT MY HEAD!"

All the girls started laughing.

"SAM GET OVER IT! JUST DO IT! I'LL PUT A SPELL ON IT SO YOU WON'T FALL. AND YOU KNOW YOU WALK PERFECTLY IN HEELS ALREADY!"

Sam sighed and just slipped on the dress and the matching black heels. Sam walked out. All the girls were ready. Alice and Katherine were dressed as each other. Alice was dressed in a small strapless pink dress, and in pastels. While Katherine was wearing a deep purple dress with straps that went to her knees. She was dressed in deep colors. Kylee was in her belly dancer costume. Stephanie was wearing her angel costume.

"Wow Sam-"

"-You look amazing!"

"Told you she would look hot!"

"Sam, you look beautiful!"

"Okay Sam you ready?" Kylee asked. Sam nodded and the two walked down the steps. They were 'fashionably late'. No, Sam just really didn't want to leave or wear a dress. The girls had left awhile ago. They were about fifteen minutes late.

"Wait, Ky, do you know what the guys are wearing?"

Kylee bit her lip, "Actually, I don't."

"James mentioned something about Prince Charming.."

"For him? Aww, he's gonna be your Prince Charming Sam!"

"No, not for him.. I think."

"I just thought of the Halloween party during Fred's dad's time. He told us, that Fred dressed up like George and George dressed up like Fred."

"Hahaha wow, do you think the boys did that?"

"No, it wouldn't be 'original'."The boys had been talking about an 'original' costume all month. The two girls entered the hall. Everyone was dancing, or watching. The people watching seemed to pause. Then the dancing people.

"Kylee please tell me I have my mask on?"

Kylee looked at her, "Yup. Mine?"

"Yup. Then why is everyone looking at us."

"Just go with it. No one knows who we are." The two walked over to the refreshments.

"Why does everyone have to stare?"

"Their done now." Sam turned around and saw a few still staring.

"No their not." She spun back around.

"Sam, just drink some punch. It will relax you." Sam stopped, the cup resting on her lip.

"What did you put in the punch?"

"Nothing! Stop being paranoid." Sam chugged the glass, "Feel better?"

"Yeah, kind of."

"Good. Now relax. Oh wow."

"What?"

"Your wings."

"What about them?"

"Nothing.. It just... Fits you."

"Is that a compliment?"

"Yes."

"Okay..."

"Excuse me," The two girls turned around. There was a man with black hair that was semi tamed, with hazel eyes. He was dressed as Prince Charming. In the back of her mind, Sam knew who it was. But she didn't want to think about it, "May I have this dance?" He held out his hand to Sam.

She bit her lip then smiled, "Of course." He took her out to the middle of the dance floor. A slow song just came on. He put his right hand on her waist, and took her right hand with his left. She put her left hand on his shoulder.

"You look beautiful butterfly."

"You look quite handsome Prince Charming."

"Its only because I get to dance with such a beautiful girl." Sam blushed.

The rest of the night merged together, Sam danced with Prince Charming all night. Except when he went to get them drinks, and at that time Kylee swarmed her with questions until she was pulled away by a red headed King.

"Butterfly, midnight is going to be here soon."

"Yes."

"Are you going to take off that mask?"

"Are you?"

"Yes. But first may I have a kiss?"

She bit her lip, then nodded. He leaned forward, but just before their lips touched, the Headmistress came up to the podium.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! It is almost midnight." Groans, "Yes, I know, it has been a wonderful night. But it is time to leave. In ten seconds. five seconds. And-" She was cut off by the chiming of the old clock in the Great Hall. Everyone took off their masks. Even Prince Charming.

"James?"

"Please tell me I didn't just dance with Eleanor."

Sam laughed.

"I know that laugh, Sam?" Sam took off her mask and smiled. James leaned forward and kissed her. Sam had seen fireworks before, but now she was feeling them. Sam broke from the kiss. She gaped like a fish. Then ran.

Can ya blame her? She's only fifteen! And she's already found someone... She needs time to adjust. And to realize that she DOES love him.
