Hermione woke up in her bed the next day, rather late. Today was the day she had to decorate the Great Hall. She checked her watch. It was noon. Hurriedly she got up and threw her clothes on.
Downstairs was Ron. He was sitting there playing chess with himself. Hermione figured she could take a few minutes.
"Hi Ron." She said. He looked up, an sheepish look in his eyes.
"'Lo 'Mione." He said. Hermione was confused. No one ever called her that.
"Mione?" She said. Ron shrugged. "Your not mad at me anymore?"
"Not anymore. Fred helped me come back to my sense. I guess," He paused as if about to admit something that was very painful, "I was wrong."
Hermione gaped at him. It took alot of guts to admit he was wrong.
"Thanks Ron. By the way, who did you decided to go the ball with?" Hermione asked, daring to test him to see if he had absolutely gotten over it.
"Padma again. I want to make up for the Yule Ball." He said simply. Hermione was so happy. She threw her arms around him and hugged him. He patted her head awkwardly.
"Have fun." She said. "I gotta go decorate the Great Hall." Ron smiled at her, for a first time in a long while.
Hermione ran quickly down the steps and into the Great Hall. Some streamers had been put up already.
"Sorry I'm late." She said breathlessly. George was on a ladder hanging up something with Fred while Parvarti was smoothing out black table clothes.
"Here Hermione, you can set up the DJ table." Parvarti said, handing her some equipment.
Hermione shook under the weight then regained her balance and walked over to the DJ table. She added the table cloth and put the magical turn tables on the table. Then she charmed the cloth to shimmer and look like the night sky. Behind that she transfigured a plate (they had been given a number of things to transfigure) and turned it into a bar chair, that had an orange and black plush seat.
Hagrid came in carrying pumpkins one by one. He had carved them and they resembled perfect Jack-O-lanterns. Parvarti put a charm on them to glow all night on Halloween. After the pumpkins he brought in cages of magical bats that were trained to stay up in the air only (under Parvarti's commands) and haunt the enchanted ceiling.
After a while everything was done and they put magical wards on it so that if kids peeked in they would see the normal Great Hall and when they came to eat it would seem normal.

The next day was a Hogsmeade day, after it, the Ball will procede. Parvarti took Hermione to pick out the dress she wanted.
Together they went into Robe Me, a dress robe store for witches that sold robes for all occasions.
Parvarti immiediatly picked out a sexy black robe that showed off her figure and left little to the imagination.
But for Hermione it took time. She did not want to wear just anything. She wanted to look nice. She wanted George to like it especially. She tried on many many things. Pink Robes, black robes, yellow robes, blue robes, red robes, green robes, before she decided on a Royal blue robe that shimmered slightly and had a small v-neck.
Clutching their purchases, Parvarti insisted on going into an assesory store, where she bought trinkets for her hair, necklaces, rings and bracelets. Even Hermione bought one or two things.
After their days done they decided to head back to Hogwarts to prepare. They only had a short while.
*********
Hermione took a shower using Sleak Easy Hair Potion to calm her bushy hair. She stood in her underwear by the sink putting on her dress robes. The robe fit Hermione better then it did in the store. The V-neck, leaving tons to the imagination still showed slight sign of temptation in it, and it even showed off her figure. The bottem swayed like a bell when she walked and the white shoes she had bought worked well with it.
She came out where Parvarti was furiously applying make up and fixing her hair. Hermione sat down infront of her mirror and began to comb her hair. The potion made it fine, and soft and seem very thick. As she combed it out, her natural, auborn color came out and began to shine. After fixing that, she put fancy ringlets in her hair to keep it back and managable. Hermione made sure to put on the necklace Lily had given her.
Parvarti had done some of her make up. Glossy lipstick, tinted blue eye shadow, and Hermione was even brave enough to have her use the lashes curler.
When everything was finished. Hermione looked gorgeous. Even better then the first time Parvarti gave her a make-over. It was then Hermione remembered Lily.
Hermione grabbed the diary and opened to a clean page.
Ready Lily?
Here I am.
Hermione put the book down and a brilliant light came from the book and in the books place, was Lily. Her red hair was braided down her back and she was wearing a long, flowing white dress, with embroidery.
"Hi.." She said breathlessly. Parvarti stared and pointed.
"Who...she...from..book?" Parvarti spat out.
Lily walked up to her and hugged her.
"Do you know Harry?" She asked. Parvarti nodded. "Is he a good boy?" Parvarti nodded. "Oh good! I'm Lily."
Parvarti stared at Lily. "You came out of Hermione's diary."
"No I didn't! I've been living in this dorm forever!" Lily waved her wand over Parvarti's face.
"Oh hi Lily! Love the dress. Come on everyone, time to go down to our dates." Parvarti said, walking towards the stairs. Hermione leaned in near Lily.
"What did you do?" She whispered. Lily smiled.
"She thinks shes known me forever. I'm going to do it to everyone tonight except you and Harry.
"And George? He knows about you too. By the way, your pretending to be Harry's date right?" Hermione asked.
"Fine, I wont do it to George. Yes Harry is going to be my 'date' tonight." Lily smiled. So did Hermione.
Slowly they climbed down the stairs. It wasn't easy in heels. Parvarti had reached her date, Seamus and had already gone down to the ball. Before they made it down, Lily cast her charm all over the school so no one would no she was out of place.
Lily walked down first, accompanied by gaps from the other boys. She hugged Harry and straightened his robes. Hermione came down next.
The common room went completely silent. She smiled at George from the stairs who stood their, his jaw dropped. Ron stood their, next to Harry in shock.
Hermione reached George and gave him a kiss as he offered her his arm.
"Ready?" He asked, smiling.
"Ready." She confirmed.
*********
The ball was perfect. Everything was spookey, and the food was even designed for Halloween.
Lily and Harry danced, and Lily was asked to dance by other boys too. Harry was slightly upset about this, Hermione could tell.
Hermione dance with Ron, in a friendly way and she could tell that he and Padma were having a good time.
Dumbledore announced the people that help put together the dance and she and George, and Fred and Parvarti danced.
A slow song came on and she put her arms around George's neck smiling. They danced slowly together.
"This is perfect." She whispered to him.
"It is. I hope it always will be" He whispered back. Hermione smiled.
And Forever, they danced.
