Kagome stared down uncertainly at the bright orange that she was holding, then turned to look at a pale blue dress that was still hanging up on a rack. Almost an hour ago the girls and boys had gone their own way with their respectful Professors there as escorts.
"Hermione, have you chosen one yet?" Kagome asked, albeit, she wasn't looking away from the ones in front of her as she did.
"I did...it was between the pink one here and this yellow one...I ended up going with the pink one. It's so beautiful, and when I spin, it actually flares up from the ground weightlessly!" Hermione said enthusiastically, a big grin n her face as she did.
"So you are going to be quite the looker for Uncle Ron, huh?" Kagome laughed. When nothing followed her joke, she turned to see Hermione looked down at her feet with a frown.
Severus was watching curiously the interactions as every so often, one of the girls would twirl for him and he'd give his honest opinion.
"I'm not going with Ron..."
Kagome and Severus both gave Hermione a look of surprise, but Severus quickly schooled his features and turned away. Kagome however tilted her head cutely to the side as she put back the orange dress that had still been in her hands. "So then, who are you attending the ball with? If you don't mind my asking...!"
Hermione blushed, "you probably wouldn't believe me if I told you."
Kagome frowned, "the only person at school, that I wouldn't believe you had a date with, is Sesshoumaru...and that's only because I know how much he hates dancing. So trust me...I'll believe you."
"...I was asked by Victor Krum..."
Okay, so maybe she had been a little bit overconfident in her comment about believing her no matter who she said, the thought that Victor Krum had asked her...it was mind-blowing..."THAT'S AMAZING! Ah, I'm so happy for you Hermione! That you didn't let yourself be pulled down to Uncle Ron's level of...of..."
"Misery?" Severus supplied, only half paying attention as Ginger showed him another dress she had picked to try on. He simply shook his head, commenting on the cut and her frame being ill partnered to one another.
"Misery...yes! His level of Misery. He's depressing, especially since he thinks that you will just be there, it's a boorish personality to have, and you could do better, much better!"
Hermione, to say that she was shocked, would be a dire understatement, but the only word that came to mind to describe her feelings...was in fact...shocked. Ron's own niece, for however long she may have been, was actually completely on her side. It felt...nice.
"Oh, Sango! You look so beautiful!"
Sango blushed, "it's enchanted to...while I'm standing still, form to my body, but when I spin it flares, depending on how fast I'm moving." Sango stared at her reflection, taking in the sparkling lavender fabric and smiling at the vision that it was creating. "I'm taking this one!"
"It's a beautiful choice," Pansy agreed with Kagome as she and Ginny walked over with a few dresses slung carefully over their arms. Luna walked out of the dressing room and Severus cleared his throat, drawing the attention from the flushing Sango, to the uncertain Luna.
Pansy was the first to speak, her mouth opening in her surprise at the stunning beauty that Luna had proven to be when dressed up. "Oh Luna...you look..."
"Loony?" Luna supplied in curiosity.
"...yes...Loony Luna Lovegood, you look just as you say..." Pansy said with a smile, "and never has it looked more breathtaking!"
Luna stepped back, unsure of what that meant. She looked in the mirror and made to cover her chest, the dress making it far more pronounced than she'd ever believed it to be, considering of course her age. "...are you sure...I saw another dress over there, the sleeves are longer, well...the fact that it has sleeves at all is a plus..."
Kagome smiled and made her way to Luna, "you...look...beautiful. Luna, you really do. More stunning than the stars, I think...and you know what?"
"Hm?"
Laughing gently, she smiled, "not even the Nargles will mess with you on the night of the Yule Ball!"
Hermione rolled her eyes, "yes Luna, a night without Nargles sounds lovely."
"I suppose you are all right..." she smiled at herself in the mirror as she became more familiar with her own reflection.
Ginger stepped over and took her hand, the only friend Luna really had in Ravenclaw, "be confident...you are glowing, Luna."

(Elsewhere)
Honey lay back on the couch in Slytherins common room, three miniature dragons whom had somehow avoided his sights since the start of the year, were curled up on his lap at the moment. "I don't think they brought you last year...wonder why they brought you this year. Or maybe they did bring you last year and I merely let slip the thought from my mind." Sighing as he ran a single finger over Fino, Blaise's miniature iridescent dragon, "say, you three can't actually talk...do you mind if I tell you a secret?" Honey laughed sardonically, "of course you don't."
Idris, Draco's green welsh, lifted its head before spitting a small jet of fire out at Honey. Such a jet of fire was easily redirected with a small flick of his wand. "How should I say this...something very bad is going to happen...and I don't know how to stop it. I don't get why me and Ginger came here, if not to stop what we saw was to come! A mere child with only half the intellect of a Muggle would still try to stop something like this from happening, rather than watch it take place..." he sat up and put his elbows on his knees, "things will be altered if I have anything to do with it. I know what I can't change...but that doesn't mean there's nothing I can change."
Arluin curled up closer to Honey's neck and returned to the slumber it'd been woken from by Honey's harsh movements. Fino had laid back down in his lap, and Idris? Idris had left him, choosing instead to look for some unfortunate Slytherin first year to mess with. Shaking his head, he gave one last sigh before laying back again against the couch and lifting a book of old literature that he'd been reading well before the three dragon miniatures had chosen to grace his lap with their presence.

(Back With the Girls)
"If you are all ready," Severus called, watching as Ginger, Ginny, and Pansy all finished paying for their dress robes. Kagome was holding the box that Madam Malkin had laid hers gently in and was smiling ear to ear. She looked at the ring on her finger, the emeralds that twinkled at her made her laugh at the thought of how beautifully it would pair with the dress she'd bought.
"Are you excited, Kagome?" Ginger asked jokingly, not blind to the girls' obvious excitement, but still humored by it all the same.
"And you're not?"
"While I don't dare say I look forward to the dance, this dress may make all the difference yet."
"Is Honey going?" Ginny asked as she came up to Ginger.
Ginger shook her head, "no, in kindness he has turned down every girl whom has requested he join them. Oh, even that Veela girl."
Sango laughed, "You mean Fleur? Don't worry about her, she's bound to go with someone who is more than up to par with her standards."
"How mean, Sango...I thought she was a student from your school..." Kagome frowned, looking down a bit as a silver lock of her hair fell in her eyes and she brushed it back nonchalantly.
"She's rude. I mean, yes, she can be nice, but she looks down on almost everyone I can't stand that type of person." Sango fumed, walking out of the store with the rest of the girls as Severus kept a semi watch on them, otherwise keeping to a good distance and allowing them, and him, some unperturbed space.
They talked all the way back to the floo net, waiting for McGonagall, he was more than a little pleased that only a few minutes after arriving themselves, McGonagall came up with the boys.
"Well, not as painful and experience as anticipated, was it now, Severus?"
"I wouldn't necessarily say it was painless, but...I should survive...however, if I am to stay much longer, I may be worse for wear."
The girls laughed quietly under their breath at the confused look on McGonagall's face. She did understand what he said, she just couldn't understand how he could be okay after all was said and done. Honestly, she had thought he'd leave halfway through, but he hadn't. "Yes, well...let's all return then!" She went through he floo net first, and then, one after another, the students followed until Severus was the last, and he merely apparated next to the group. On the shuttle, heading back to the school. The boys spent a good hour trying to coax the girls into showing them what they got, and by their thirty-somethingith attempt, they gave up and the group fell into a quiet conversation over all little things. The entire group...except for Ginger...that is.
Ginger was staring out the window of the shuttle, eyes unseeing, blurred with a vision...a vision and tears...
