Hermione point of view:
Draco and I had everything plan out for the Winter Ball, we decided to be like the Yule ball but with Christmas colors (red, green and gold) he did sketches to see how it will look; it will be amazing. We are a great team. I asked him who he will go to the ball with , he said " this year I will go alone , I'm not in the mood to go with a clinging girl", I don't know why I felt relief when he told me he doesn't have a date. He asked me the same and told him probably with Ron.(even he still has not ask me to go with him). I think I saw a flash of anger in his eyes when I told him.
Ginny dragged me yesterday to buy a dress for the ball, apparently I only have old dresses with no drama or spark in it, she made me try 15 dresses ( some of them barely cover my parts and others were to exposed, to short, to long, does not fit with your skin color)I was about to quit the search for the perfect dress ,until the sell girl brought this gorgeous long golden dress, its flowing from the back with some crystal below the bust and straps, this dress is perfection elegant but simple, I try it on (fit me like a glove) it wasn´t that expensive, I have a pair of golden sandals with heel that are perfect . Ginny picked a simple blue dress and silver heel sandals. Ginny insisted that she would help me get ready for the ball to do my hair and makeup . I was grateful, I usually don't wear that much of make up or do anything to my hair besides brushed it.
I m so angry with Ron for how he invited me to the ball. This all going wrong, here I am buying a nice dress for him, and for what? just so he can asked me the way he did , I'm tired of this , I prefer to be single than be miserable.
Flash Back:
Ginny and I were heading to the Gryffindor common room, talking about how Fleur is pregnant , she imagine Fleur with six more kids and how she would raise her kids differently to what Molly Weasley did . We sat in the couch until she asked me if Ron had invited me yet, I said the truth, that I was worried he not going to ask me. I begin to tell her details of the ball, and she said who is going with whom. Ron enter the common room with the rest of the Quidditch team, all joking around and laughing at a joke he said, He finally acknowledged my presence.
´´Hello Mione , why weren't you watching my practice for the game ?´´ He said flexing his muscles.
´´ I was busy´´ I said.
´´Excuses as always, you are gossiping with Ginny ´´ That got me mad , he knows how busy I been planning , homework, etc.
´´Ronald you know I been busy and always tried to get time with you guys´´ I said.
´´Whatever. Ginny, mom send you my robes for the ball?´´ He asked Ginny .
´´ Mom said she bought Harry and you new robes for the ball?´´ Ginny answer annoyed.
´´Great, last time I look hideous¨ . He was about to walk away, when Ginny asked him.
´´Are you forgetting something?´´
´´Like what?" he said
´´Um let's see , ask your girlfriend to the ball?´´ She said sarcastically. I can't believe Ginny asked in front of the whole quidditch team.
´´ I don't need to ask her, she´s obligated to go with me to the ball, she is my girlfriend ´´ I stared at them.
´´ Ron you know nothing about being polite, Harry asked me to go to the ball with him, even if I'm his girlfriend. 'She said getting angry.
´´It's ok Gin, doesn't matter.´´ I said try to end this private conversation,
´´ It does matters, Ron you better do this right or I will hex you´´ Ginny started to get out her wand.
´´Fine , Don't get your knickers in a knot both of you. ´´ He said huffing.
´´ Gin please, not here, not now´´ I said pleading with them.
´´ He has to Hermione´´. This is getting embarrassing by the minute; practically Gin is forcing my boyfriend to ask me to go to the ball.
´´Will you go?´´ He said annoyed .
´´ Not like that. Merlin helps illuminate my brother. Ron did you know that Mione tried 15 dresses , so she could look gorgeous for you , and that´s how you ask her´´ He did not need to know that.
´´Will you do me the honor of going to the Ball with me ´´ He mock by taking my hand and kissing it and Rolling his eyes at me . Every single one in the room laugh. This was complete humiliation.
´´ Yes´´ I said quickly. I almost run out of there, this was embarrassing, I look so pathetic, as if I'm almost begging my boyfriend for attention. I went to my room locking my door.
End of flashback.
Today is the winter ball. The Headmistress suspended the last two classes , so we could have a early lunch and get ready for the ball. Draco and I move the 4 house tables and shrink them to get an empty room. We made round tables appear everywhere with red, green and gold tablecloths .We enchanted the roof to look like it was snowing but instead of white snow we made it seem with gold and silver colors. We put ice sculptors everywhere with different forms of Christmas (snowflakes, presents, angels, pines, toys etc). We made space for the dance floor that moves to the beat of music in a shape of a snowflake. We made mini Christmas trees for the centers of the tables. The place looks like a fantasy of book.
Draco and I were proud of our creation. He accio his robes and told me he was going to the Slytherins dungeons with Blaise and Goyle to get ready. He truly is the best friend ever to exist , he gave Ginny and I the head room to get ready.
I went to the head common room to wait for Ginny. I decided to take a little nap so i would be more alert at the ball.
´´Hermione wake up, I have to get you ready¨ Ginny shook my arm.
´´ I m awake, let me take a quick shower ´´ I said and went to the bathroom.
30 minutes later.
I went to where Ginny was, she already had her hair in a complicate but stylish bun and had her makeup done it look very natural only with eyeliner, fake black lashes, bit of rosy blush and nude lips.
´´Let me make you look pretty´´ She said while opening a purple bag taking out the contents. There were tubes of lipstick, lip gloss, cases of powder, blush and eye shadow, more tubes of lip gloss, mascara and an eye liner.
´´I thought you were going to do everything with magic´´
´´No honey, only your hair. I know you will never let me do your makeup again, so I will pretend that you are my doll´´.
´´It not fair, you use magic on you.´´
´´that´s because I'm a expert. Let me work my own magic on you.´´ She said , started to apply some powder on me, put eye liner and more shadows , lipstick etc.
´´So what's going on with Malfoy?´´ She asked .
´´Nothing , why do you ask?´´ I said a little shaken by the question.
´´well you seem more friendly towards him, I saw how you two joking around while we were in the hall. ´´ Shit. I can't tell her his my friend .
´´You are seeing things´´ I said .
´´no I'm not, I won't judge you ,if you are friends with Malfoy´´ She stare at me , I knew I couldn't lie to her.
´´I kind of have a relationship with Malfoy as a friend.´´ I said avoiding her gaze.
´´You do understand Ron is going to get crazy over this´´ She said while applying more makeup.
´´I know , that´s why I kept it a secret´´ I said.
´´Harry is going to understand your friendship with him, he changed a lot since the war, especially towards the Malfoy´s.´´
´´I have seen it but that doesn´t mean he will like it´´
´´he will, give him some credit, he love you so much he will not condemn you as a traitor, Ron is another story´´
´´And you?.´´ I asked .
´´I don't like it but I trust your judgment and if he is good towards you then I can give him a chance´´ She said while enchanting my hair.
´´´Thanks Gin.´´ I said relief. Still not telling her about Blaise and Pansy.
´´You should tell Harry soon, before he discover your friendship and tells Ron´´
´´You are right, I will tell him ,when we go to the Burrow´´ I told her. I wasn't scare of Harry , I was afraid he would take Ron side in this friendship.
´´Good luck with Ron. Well you are finish, put your dress ´´ I went to my room and put my dress and shoes on, looked at mirror and was awestruck with what I saw, It was me but more pretty and better. I look beautiful, my eyes were smoky with gold shadow, my lips red and a little of blush in my cheeks not too much makeup, just the perfect amount. My hair looks silky and flawless with soft curls around me, half up and half down.
´´Gin you are a Goddess with makeup and hair´´ I said still looking at my reflection.
´´I know´´ She said proud of her master piece. I notice she put her dress on to.
We went to Gryffindor tower to get the boys. They were ready , Harry look good with his new robes , he was looking at Ginny with his mouth wide open , unable to say a word. Ron look very well to with his new robes , he stare at me with hungrily taking all in .
´´You look beautiful Gin´´ Harry said to her and gave her a quick peak in the lips , he turn to me and say I look beautiful too, I thank him and went to Ron side.
´´ You look sexy as hell´´ Ron said and grab my butt with his hand. I felt like a whore and this is supposed to be my boyfriend. I thank him and the four of us went to the ball.

Review:)
Preview:
´´We should go…´´´He started to kiss my collarbone, tightening his grip on me. Luckily Draco helped me get up and free from his grasp, I look at his eyes they were silver with violet, he was angry (why? and his eyes are like an animal?). I look back at Ron and pull him up with the help of Draco I saw his face again and his eyes were back to the normal beautiful grey.
