~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Audrey woke up to the sun streaming onto her face…today was the day.

She checked her watch…it was well past noon.

She quickly got up and dressed in jeans and a blue shirt. She skipped the hair brush and held her hair back in a messy ponytail, curls falling over her face.

She put on her shoes while running out the door. She promised Hermione she'd help her get ready…as well as half the people in the Gryffindor dormitories…so this was going to take long. She started down the stairs when she realized she'd left her makeup kit upstairs…so she ran back upstairs, cursing under her breath.

Once she finally got downstairs there was a small tray with different sorts of breads and cheeses. She grabbed a croissant and waited for the next teacher to come get them…it was 2:28 so it would only take 2 minutes.

Audrey fidgeted and sighted heavily.

"Good morning…" Audrey jumped as a set of arms wrapped themselves around her. She relaxed as she realized it was Harry.

Smiling she turned to face him.

"Morning.." she said kissing him lightly.

"hmm.. So what are you doing today?"

"Helping the girls fix themselves up for the grand ball tonight." said Audrey in her most snobbish tone.

Harry smiled and Audrey did too as she kissed him again.

"Good morning stu…" P. Flitwick entered and Harry and Audrey separated promptly.

"Well…um…do you wish to be escorted anywhere at this time." the Professor asked a bit taken back at the students.

"Yes, please take me to the Gryffindor dormitories please." said Audrey

"Surely…please, this way." P. Flitwick left and Audrey with a final wink at Harry left after him.

Audrey made her way into Hermione's room where Ginny and other Gryffindor girls were already starting to get ready. Everyone was in a frenzy when she came in. Everyone was primping and preparing for the big dance. Audrey came in and started on each of their make-ups. Each girl wanted something different and the dance started at 5. By the time she was done it was 4:00 PM and the room had emptied to only Hermione and Ginny. Ginny was wearing a baby blue dress with butterfly wings. Hermione was wearing a deep red dress with a tiara, she and Ron had decided to go as the King and Queen of the chess set Ron was so fond of.

"So Audrey, what's with the room change? I mean, why were you and Harry moved?" Hermione asked while zipping up her dress.

"I don't know…Dumbledore said it was for the best and…we moved." Audrey lied.

"Oh, you don't think something is wrong do you?" asked Ginny, doing a hair spell.

"No, I mean, if there were…they'd tell us right?" Audrey hated lying.

"I guess…Audrey, shouldn't you be getting ready? It's almost 5..." Audrey quickly jumped up, remembering she had to get ready herself. She grabbed her make up kit and ran out the Gryffindor dormitories. She searched wildly for a teacher to escort her back to her room. Finally she saw Madam hooch and had her escort her.

Audrey crept into the receiving room, making sure Harry didn't hear her and dashed to her bedroom.

She gave herself some time to catch her breath and relax…but not too long.

She slipped into her dress and admired herself into the mirror. She looked beautiful. Then she used the hair spell Hermione had taught her, to make her long curls shimmer and glisten. She placed the enchanted orchids on her hair. She covered her eyelids with a light, iridescent shimmer, that made her icy blue's stand out.

Audrey herd some talking downstairs and checked her watch. It was 5:15. She opened the door to her room and taking a deep breath, started moving down the stairs.
