Chapter 12 (woah, have im come this far?)

Their visit in Beauxbatons was soon coming to an end. Which meant that the Ball was closing in. Many students were already wondering what to wear for the ball, and who to go to the ball with.

"So.. Who are you going with?" Harry nudged Ginny nervously as they sat at the library watching Hermione and Draco fumble around the books.

"Oh! Im going to go with a guy with green eyes.. And lemme see.. Round spectacles, one pair of eyes, one nose and two ears. HARRY JAMES POTTER, of course Im going with you!" She shrieked hysterically at him.

From around the corner, the school librarian appeared and shushed at them.

"Oh." Harry said, looking slight taken aback.

"Will you two help us?" Hermione turned her head so suddenly that her hair almost whipped Draco in the face.

"Oh- Okay. But both of you have be searching for the whole of our lives and you still haven't found anything." Harry argued.

"True. Maybe we could search at Durmstrang?" Hermione suggested, shrugging.

"Good idea. Lets get out of here." Draco said, yawning loudly and stalked away.


"This is a disaster! We have been to every dress shop in town and we still haven't found a thing!" Ginny shrieked. Madame Maxime had let the whole school one day off for their free time.

"Its not. Imagine what would happen if Maxime did not let us have free time." Harry sighed, feeling exhausted of being taken to almost every dress shop.

"Yeah. Lets go back." Draco drawled.

"Yeah. Im tired." Ron yawned. "Besides Im not going to the ball."

"NO! We must find something!" Hermione hissed. "Wait. Did you just say you were not going to the ball?"

"Yeah. I don't have a date."

"You don't need a date to go to the ball." Hermione said. Feeling slightly guilty.

"Oh really? So should I just sit there and count the number of ants they have in the school while people swirl around me?" Ron rolled his eyes.

"Yes." Ginny said sharply and dragged Harry down the road, making their pace faster.

With that, the three boys groaned simultaneously.

"Ahh! There's one!" Ginny squealed and they hurried there.


"No." Ginny hissed from the dressing room as her dress was sent flying over the door and landed on Hermione's head.

"GIN!" Hermione sighed. "Thats your forty-fifth dress!"

"THIS IS PERFECT!" Ginny suddenly squeaked from the dressing room.

"What? Let me see?" Hermione was about to open the door when Ginny quickly slammed in back shut.

"What, Gin?" Harry said, getting up.

"NO! Do NOT let Harry see me! IM going to make it a surprise! He can only take a peek on the day of the ball!" Ginny squealed, clapping to herself in the dressing room.

"Then I can't see?" Hermione questioned.

"Of course you can! Just apparate in!"

Hermione sighed, turned on the spot and vanished, another pair of legs were visible at the bottom of the door.

"OH MY GOD. GINNY! Harry is going to love this!"

Ginny was dressed in a purple strapless dress with fitted her body shape perfectly. A ribbon tied at her waist.

"Its nice isn't it?" Ginny whispered.

"Yes!" Hermione felt like she was going to cry at how grown up her friend looked.

"Okay! Your turn! Get out!" Ginny giggled.

Hermione then apparated back out and began to look at the collection of dresses they had. It appeared that Draco was watching her silently.

"NO!" Ginny's voice boomed as Hermione was about to reach for a dress.

"What?"

"YOU MUST NOT. Let Malfoy see!"

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"Go in! Go in to the changing room!"

"What?"

"GO!"

"Okay, Okay."

Hermione walked into the changing room and closed the door , feeling really stupid.

Ginny then apparated inside.

"I made sure they didn't look."

Hermione chuckled at her friend. But Draco did catch a glimpse of something green.


It was the day of the Ball. A huge blue banner was put up in the school hall saying , "Beauxbatons Ball." Hermione and Ginny were busy running about the girls bathroom, taking clips, earrings and many other things. The boys were already done so they went down first.

"Come on!" Hermione hissed as she yanked a comb through her hair.

"Thats not how you do it!" Ginny yelled as she fastened her silver earrings. She was apparantly done and Hermione was only at her hair.

"Here," Ginny took a pin and did her hair up into a half updo. "Now," She pointed her wand in the air and said, "Accio earrings!" A set of earrings came in through the door and landed on Ginny's hand, she hastily put it on for Hermione while Hermione wore a silver necklace her mum gave her on her seventh birthday. It had two heart shapes on it entwined together for the pendant.

They finished off with their makeup and quickly got their bags.

"You look perfect, Gin." Hermione grinned.

"Hermione. You look beautiful! Draco is so going to like this!" Ginny said, hugging her. At the thought of Draco, Hermione blushed.

"Lets go!"

And the pair walked down with arms linked together.

~*~*~*~

"Blimey." Ron choked on his chocolate eclair as Hermione and Ginny descended gracefully down the stairs, chatting away.

Draco's jaw dropped as his eyes landed on Hermione. Harry felt dizzy as Ginny walked over to him, smiling.

"Am I dead?" Draco said, embracing Hermione. This was the first time Harry and Draco had seen them in their dresses and Draco was right. Hermione wore a green dress which flowed delicately down to her knees, fitting her curves well. Her makeup was not too heavy, it was perfect.

"Fortunately, no." Hermione scrunched up her nose. Harry was in a set of dark blue dress robes while Draco was in a dark green dress robes, both looked dashing.

"Lets go in shall we?" Draco whispered into her ear, causing her to shiver.

"Whatever you say." She sighed.

Both of them walked into the big hall, leaving Harry and Ginny outside.

"I should be seeing other Hogwarts students now already." Hermione said, gazing around.

"Oh shit." Draco suddenly dodged into a corner, pulling Hermione with him.

"Wha-?" Hermione was about to speak when Draco put a finger on her lip.

"Draco? Draco?" They heard a familiar voice calling and a small fingure with pudgy face walked up near them, not noticing their silent getaway.

Hermione's eyes grew wide as she almost turned to their direction but fortunately, walked away. As soon as Draco's finger came off her lip, Hermione took out a tissue and offered it to him, nodding at his finger which was now stained with pink lip gloss.

"Thanks." He grinned sheepishly, wiping off the stain.

"I should have known that loser would be here." Hermione peered out again. "Is she gone?"

"Yeah. Its safe to come out now. I think. But we won't be able to hide for long.."

"True.."

They could see students from Durmstrang filing in as they walked back in to the hall. It was going to be a fun occasion.


Agh. I know I said preparations for the ball. But I went too far and cut into the ball day. Sorry :D Or maybe not. Hope it was nice! Will try to update sooner! MUACKS!
