I had about 15 minutes until the party, so I went outside. Arikk was getting her Christmas sweater out when I checked on her. I ran out--but right into someone. It was the same girl from the potion exams.
"Oh--I'm sorry--" I said.
"It's okay," she said, but stomped her foot a little.
"Hey--errrrr--don't mind me asking--but--" I sputtered. "Were you--at the potions exams on Friday--?"
"Yeah," she muttered. "But I don't know why--I, er, mess up--99% of the time--eh heh.."
"I see--" I whispered. "Well--I was just wondering--but what's your name--? And--why was Snape eyeing you so much?"
"Zimmy," she said. "Zimmy Russell. Erm, I guess it's because, oh, maybe, I mess up 99% of the time?"
"Oh," I said, scratching my chin. "Nice meeting you, Zimmy. I've gotta go to a party now, though. See yah!"
"Bye," she said, running off to her friends. One of them was the boy that was next to her at the exams. And he still looked just like me.
I ran back into Hogwarts. My watch was set behind, so I really only had 5 minutes.
Arikk was there. "Hi, Arikk," I said. "Feeling better?"
"Sort of," she sighed. "I just wish Arthur was a wizard. Then he could be here, and we could be a couple still."
"I have a surprise for you after the party," I said. "It might help you feel better. Just relax and have a good time."
"Okay," Arikk whispered. Her face was cleaned up and she was dressed nicely. She had gold, silk pants on and a red Christmas sweater on, which had a golden mistletoe on it. Her hair was up, with a scrunchie with little leaves on the side as another mistletoe.
"You look nice," I said cheerfully.
"You look--um--casual," she said, trying to be cheerful.
I looked down at my body. "Oh, no!" I said. "I forgot to change into my Christmas clothes!"
I ran into my room and took out a matching outfit like Arikk's. It had red silk pants and a golden sweater with a red mistletoe, and I had a matching scrunchie. Arikk helped me put make-up on. She took out light-red [but not exactly pink] lipstick. She handed it over to me and I put it gently on my lips. Then she handed me some very light goldenish-peachish blush. I took the brush and brushed it on my cheeks. "Eye shadow?" Arikk asked.
"Yeah," I said, and she handed over some eye shadow just like the color of my lipstick, just a little lighter.
I put that on very, very gently. "You look great," she said. It's like she was still Arthur's girlfriend--she didn't act sad or anything.
"Same to you!" I said.
We walked to the common room. Seven people were there, all dressed nicely. "Hey, Tori! Hey, Arikk!" Krissy, one of my friends, said running over to us. "Like my new dress? My mom sent it a few days ago. I told her about the party. Isn't it great?"
"Oh, yes!" Arikk said, admiring it.
Krissy was wearing a short, red dress with gold and green strikes everywhere. It looked artistic, like Krissy was--and yet very Christmassy. Her long, blonde hair was down, but brushed and very shiny. She had a necklace on, which had a very small diamond Christmas bell attached at the bottom.
"I like your necklace," I said.
"Oh, this?" she asked, looking down at it. "Lee gave it to me." Lee was Krissy's boyfriend.
Arikk didn't look upset when she heard `Lee'--which I would of thought that Arikk would be reminded her of Arthur.
More people came to the common room. The party began.
