Hogsmeade

As they walked along the streets of Hogsmeade Michaela received many whistles but it didn't phase her. As they entered Honeydukes she gasped. She had never seen anything of the sort. They left there with their pockets weighed down with sweets.

Back in the Dormitory

The next morning Michaela woke up to tapping on her window it was her owl Pajamas. He had a letter from Ryan.

Dear Chae,

Hi honey how is school. I miss you. I am

Going to Paris at the moment. I have to tell you

I don't know if our relationship will last so I think we had better take a break, okay?

Rye

Michaela spent the day crying.

Two months later

**Michaela and Hermione are best friends and so are Harry and Ron**

The Christmas ball was coming. Each morning in the Great Hall people came up to Michaela asking her. Each person she told she would consider it. Hermione was going with Ron. Harry wasn't sure whom he was going with yet. Fred and George were going with Angelina and Alicia; they gave up on Michaela after her saying she would think about it at least 50 times. Michaela's mother was going to get her and Hermione's dress-robes and mail them to her.

Gryffindor Common Room 1 AM.

Michaela couldn't sleep. For the first time since she came to Hogwarts she felt homesick. She got up and went to the common room and settled into a chair. Suddenly she heard a noise behind her. It was Harry.

"Hi"

"Hello"

"What are you doing down here by yourself?"

"Oh I couldn't sleep, you?"

"Same thing."

"Oh"

Harry couldn't help looking at her. After all she had on a very tight tank top that accentuated all her features and was a little short showing her very toned stomach. Her plaid boxers were rolled down exposing her hipbones. Her hair fell in very loose ringlets passed her shoulders.

"Chae your hair…." Before he could say anything she interrupted

"I know, I straighten it and use stuff on it so it isn't curly, I hate it!"

"No! It looks REALLY pretty!"

"Thanks Harry!" Michaela said in a mellowed voice

"Your welcome."

"I better go to sleep. Good Night Harry!"

"Yea night"

But what Harry didn't tell her was that his scar was burning. He had thought of mentioning it but decided not to because not very many people knew about it.

Breakfast

The next morning at breakfast Tristan Miller the gorgeous Ravenclaw keeper came up and asked Michaela to the ball. He was so good looking she said yes immediately.

She and Hermione squealed with delight. In the hall on her way to class Chae couldn't help notice certain groups of Ravenclaw girls throwing dirty looks at her. Honestly she really didn't care after all she wasn't looking for a relationship with him!

Next Day at Breakfast

The next morning when the owls swooped into the great hall there were eight owls carrying a large package in between them. It was dropped right in front of Hermione and Michaela. Neither had a class right away so they tore up the steps to the common room to their dormitory. They unwrapped the thick brown paper and in it was two large boxes each one with a card on top saying "Hermione" and "Chae". They each grabbed their own box, which was wrapped in Christmas paper. When Hermione opened hers it was her new dress robes straight off the wizard runways of New York. They were lavender satin and sleeveless. Along the neckline and armholes and at the bottom were tiny embroidered flowers that were magically enchanted to sparkle. The shoes however Michaela's mother had bought in a muggle shop. Hermione was a muggleborn so she knew how to walk in the high-heeled lavender sandals that met in the middle with a silver heart.

Michaela's box contained baby-pink dress robes that were silver and pink thread intertwined and glittery. They were long to the floor and sleeveless like Hermione's. In her box were also shoes but they certainly were not bought in any store. They were pure glass with crystal heels and bottoms. They were made in a heeled slipper style. She thought that if she were to put them on and walk they would certainly give way. But when she picked them up a note fell:

Princess,

These belonged to your great grandmother

Sabrina, you know Uncle Albus's sister?

They have been passed down to each one of us in line

I wore them on my first dance.

They will bend and never break or hurt!

Mom

As Chae read this aloud Hermione squealed.

The morning of the ball

Chae woke up at 9 thirty and went down to the Great Hall and grabbed stacks of buttered toast and danish to bring up to Hermione while they got ready for the ball. The preparations began promptly at 10. The first thing they did was push both beds to either end of the room. Then they enchanted a bathtub in the middle of the room and Hermione left while Michaela took her bath. Then she dressed in a bathrobe and clean pajamas and went down to the common room. Once Hermione was done and the tub had disappeared it was 12 o'clock. Hermione had designated Michaela as Make-up and Hair extrodinaire. The first thing Chae did was conjure up a hairdressers table and chair. She decided to highlight Hermione's normally brown hair with ash blond. She was quite confident about doing this because she had always done her friends at schools hair. Then she dried it. Using her wand she put an even line of black eyeliner on her lower lids and spread a deep plum shadow over her lid. She then applied a wine shade to Hermione's lips. She then pulled all of Hermione's hair up into a ponytail and curled it using her wand again. Then she arranged all of the curls in a bun sort of, using magical invisible pins that were included in her mom's package. Hermione then went downstairs to the common room while Michaela got herself ready.

For herself Michaela put silver eye shadow on her lids and a frosty pink lipstick. She put her hair up in loose curls and intertwined a silver ribbon through it. Satisfied with her look she walked over to the other side of the room and put on her dress robes and slipped her feet into the slippers. She then went to the top of the steps and called Hermione up to finish getting ready. As Hermione stepped into her robes Michaela pulled out her royal purple jewelry pouch. She removed her platinum Tiffany's heart necklace and matching bracelet. The set had a ring to match but it had a blue sapphire stone. Michaela pulled out her wand and turned the stone pink. Then she went over to her trunk and removed from the very bottom a ruby circular pouch, much like the purple one, from it she took a matching tiara with blue sapphires, she turned each one pink as she had done with the ring and placed it on her head. The two squealed as they stood in front of the mirror.

Before the ball

The girls walked down the stairs with grace and style and as they did every head in the Gryffindor common room turned. Ron who was Hermione's date was waiting at the bottom of the stairs for her.

"Hermione?? What did you do to yourself you look so different!"

"Oh Ron stop! Its just a little hair color and some makeup."

George came over and said to Ron:

"Hey Ronnie! Who's the babe of a date and how did she get stuck with you?"

"Oh George stop you know very well who I am!" said Hermione.

"HERMIONE!!!!!!!" said George.

"Yes, what?"

"Sorry but what did you do to yourself?"

"I didn't do anything! Chae did it."

"I did what?" said Michaela as she walked over.

"You made Hermione all… ," said George trailing off.

"What all it is makeup and some hair coloring?"
