Hi ppl!! Thanx so much for reviewing, I love ya. Hugs!!
So, now on with the story!!!
~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*
Ginny stood in front of her mirror, admiring herself.
She had used all evening getting ready for the Masquerade Ball and she had to admit that her
labour had turned out very nicely.
She wore a midnight blue modern corset that left her arms bare. The skirt was also midnight
blue and fanned out beautifully under the corset. Both of these had silver specs of glitter on them,
making it look like Ginny was wearing the night sky. The bottom of the dress was lined with
silver, as was the neckline, base and strings of her corset. Her red curls had been put up in an
elegant twist, which made her look slightly older and sophisticated.
On the top of her head she had placed a rhinestone tiara that sparkled in the faint light of her
dorm. Around her, girls were giggling while adding a final touch to their makeup.
Ginny reached for her mask and put it on. It was simple and the same colour as her dress,
covering the upper part of her facial features, leaving her mouth free to eat and drink.
Her best friend Hermione Granger made her way over to her trying to stifle her giggles, but
only succeeded when she saw Ginny. She gasped and stared at her not quite believing that this
was her best friend Virginia Weasley. Ginny turned away from the mirror and asked Hermione,
"So, how do I look?"
"Oh Ginny you look absolutely gorgeous! No one is gonna recognise you." Said Hermione
"Are you saying that I don't look gorgeous on everyday basis?" asked Ginny bringing her
hands to her hips in mock hurt. Hermione just ignored her.
"Come on Gin, can't you see that you look stunning? The boys are gonna be all over you."
Ginny giggled as a mental image took form in her head, and blushed.
"Thanks 'Mione you look gorgeous to." Ginny smiled and said.
Hermione was wearing a strapless black dress that just brushed her ankles. It had gold
embroidery around the top and bottom, with gold flowers here and there. Ginny had straightened
Hermione's hair just enough to keep it a bit wavy.
"Well this is the first, last and only time you will ever see me in a dress. Its only because my
mom insisted on me wearing a dress that I agreed."
"Yeah, right" Ginny replied "Well it think its time." The two girls made their way down the
staircase, out of the common room and down to the Great Hall.
Everywhere they looked there were girls chatting and giggling, and guys looking extremely
uncomfortable.
The Great Hall had been decorated and looked absolutely stunning. The four house tables had
been divided into twenty smaller ones and every table had room for about 4 people each. Silver
and gold drapes were strung all over the hall, making it look magnificent. The sky outside was
clear and you could see the stars shining silver against dark blue.
The students slowly began to fill in and when everyone was there Dumbledore rose to his feet.
The hall went silent, all of the students hungry and eager to begin.
"I will make this quick, as I can see that you are all hungry. Now the schedule for today's
masquerade is that first we eat," small cheers were heard from around the hall. Dumbledore
chuckled and continued, "Then our very own band will strike up a few tunes and we will dance
the night away." Loud cheers erupted again and Dumbledore raised his hands to regain the
attention of the students.
"I must remind you all that this is a masquerade and you are not allowed to remove your
masks until the clock strikes twelve. Now dig in."
The usual talk and squabble broke out as the food appeared. Talking about this and that.
Ginny was sitting with Hermione. She was eating like she hadn't eaten in weeks, exactly like
Ron. The food was delicious, as always. But today the house elves had done an exquisite job. She
glanced around, eating her food quietly. Everyone seemed to have done a great job on his or her
gown. She tried to put names on the faces that she saw, but only recognized Neville Longbottom,
as he always had that aura of misfortune around him.
Dinner was over very fast, as everyone seemed to be very eager to get on with the night.
Dumbledore stood up again and cleared his throat. People hushed and looked up at him, awaiting
the next step of the night.
"Now, that we have eaten our hearts out, I would like you all to stand up and give an applause to
our band." Everybody clapped as five boys stood up and made their way to the stage. They
couldn't see who it was cause they had all masks on like everyone else. Dumbledore moved the
tables into the corners and the band started a fast tune.
Ginny was asked to dance by a nice looking boy, that, as she later found out, couldn't dance.
She had danced with about five different guys before Ginny insisted that she had to go rest
her feet. She slumped down in the nearest chair and sighed.
'This isn't like I had imagined it to be' She thought, 'I had imagined that I would dance with
one guy, and one guy only, getting a new friend or maybe something more….oh well! at that
moment a rose was pulled out from behind, and held a foot from her face. A clear voice said
quietly into her ear,
"A beautiful rose for a beautiful girl."
She turned around in her seat, looking, stunned at the guy in front of her. He had stunning
grey eyes, which looked like grey clouds and hair so light that it seemed to shimmer. A black
cape was slung loosely around his shoulders, and underneath that he wore a dark blue shirt and
black pants. Ginny knew instantly who he was, it was Colin Creevy. He was in her year, and
from what everyone told her, he had a huge crush on her. She quickly looked away realizing that
she had been staring.
"Umm sure" she said, standing up. He took her hand and pulled her out to the dance floor
They danced through that song, and the next one, and the one after that. She wanted to call
him something and decided on prince charming. Cause he really was charming and elegant not to
mention a real gentleman. Every time another boy came and asked if she would dance he would
step aside and let her chose. But every time she passed and danced along with her own prince
charming. The clock ticked by unnoticed by most, and far to soon for many the clock struck
twelve. Ginny suddenly got nervous; she had been in a trance all night long just gazing into
prince charming's eyes. She looked around uncertain, rather wanting to dance some more then
take her mask of, she sighed, rules were rules after all.
"I guess this is it" Ginny said, and took her mask of, revealing her face.
