When Belle awoke it was Saturday morning and Fred would soon be there to take her to Hogsmeade. Ron stayed asleep while she got a shower and got dressed. She had her hair straightened which made it very long. She also was wearing a pair of black jeans that were very tight and flared at the bottom to reviel her black boots. She was wearing a long sleeved black shirt that cut just above her stomache. She then walked over to her bed. "Ron, come on, wake up Ron, Your brother will be here soon" this got him up and dressed. Belle had run back into the bathroom to finish getting ready while Ron changed.
When Belle came back out she had a black cowboy hat on and a grin from ear to ear. "So Ron, what color dress do you think I should wear to the Yule Ball?" she asked while doing up his tie. "You look pretty in any color" he said and he gave her a kiss. "awww, your so sweet but I was thinking emerald. You dont see that enough around here do ya"she laughed as she ran back into the bathroom.
"Are you going to be in Hogsmeade?" she asked. "Yeah, Hermione and I are going for Christmas presents. I still have no clue what to get you for Christmas" she then laughed. "Right now I'm into hair sticks" she said. "and the greatest thing is that they cost almost nothing but work better than expensive hair clamps." Ron just sighed and said "I'm heading out, see ya in Hogsmeade" and then he left. Belle then ran down the steps and started to clean when she heard Chloe chomping and new the Fred was on his way.
When he came in he smiled and walked over to where she was still cleaning off her counter. "Aw, ya cleaned for me." he said laying a bouqet of emerald roses on the counter in front of her. She immediatly gasped and turned around to give him a hug. "Fred Weasley, how ever did you guess my favorite color." she laughed. "Perhaps it would be that 74% of your dorm is emerald. I've done my homework and got exact measurements" he laughed.
"I've never been to Hogsmeade, so you will have to show me how to get there." she said locking her arm with his. When they reached the main doors she saw Draco with Pansy walking towards Hogsmeade. "So Fred, do you know that Ron asked me to the Yule Ball?" Fred then looked to her with an amused look on his face. "Whats so funny?" she asked. Fred laughed and said "Last time Ron went to the Yule Ball he was so jeloud of Hermione's date that he had a bad time." Belle's eyes twitched up "Well if things go well then he'll have the best date there" she laughed. "So where does a lady go in this town to find some great, sexy dresses"
Fred had to give hre a double take and led her to a shop. When they entered she walked over to the witch who owned the store and opened her mouth to speak but was sileneced immediatley. "Your Sophia's daughter" she said smiling to her. Belle looked to Fred who looked just as puzzled. Belle then looked back to the shop keeper "Why yes I am, did you know my mother?" she asked. "are you kidding, your mother and I were best friends. I was at her funeral, its been so long since I've seen you." the lady said replied.
"My name is Karen, I even used to babysit you when your mother and father would go out some nights. So Isabel please tell me who your tall handsome friend is" she asked scooting closer to Fred. Isabel laughed "This is Fred, he's my date" she then watched Karen back up and go behind the counter. "Well my dear, I'm sure that you came here for a reason, can I help you" she asked extending her arm.
"Why yes, there is a Yule ball at Hogwarts and I need to look my very best" she said giving a smirk. "Is this the gentleman who will be taking you?" Karen said batting her eyes at Fred. "Acually no, I'm going with his brother" she said watching his face go from scared of Karen to angry at Ron. He then spoke up "Today she is with me, tommorrow my twin brother and then she goes to the Yule ball with my little brother. I sure hope you remembered that because I dont know if I could say it again if I tried."
Karen then nodded and went in the back to look through some fabrics. "I feel so bad making you spend today with me getting ready for my other date." she said holding his hand. "Time with you is all I asked for, and its fine with me" he said just as Karen came back out. "Belle I chose a few dresses and put them back in the dressing room. There is a waiting room back there or Fred can just wait out here with me" Belle then started pulling him closer to her "I think I'll need Fred's opinion so he can come along with me" she said before they headed back. The room that was set up was very small and had a curtain and a small black chair. Behind the curtain were a few dresses and different shoes to go with them. The first dress she tried on was was dark blue and was a spaghetti strap dress that cut at the knee. The back was longer and touched to the ground but she loved the shoes. They were high navy blue heels that wrapped around her ankles.
She threw her hair up into a loose bun and walked out to see what Fred thought. She didnt see him out in the waiting room so traveled back out into the store and looked for him. When she exited the waiting room she looked to her left and dint see him so she then looked to her right and saw Pansy with Draco. They were also dress shopping and she could see how pleased Draco was. He was dragging his feet behind her as she searched through dress after dress.
"Having fun?" she asked and he looked up at her. Pansy didnt know what to think besides that she wanted that dress. Draco was still gazing at her and managed to say "Ya look good, for once I will envy Weasel" Pansy then looked over towards him with disgust "Well I of course know that dress is all wrong for you" she said huffing. "Simmer down, Parkinson." Belle said as she spotted Fred. "Alright well I have to go, plenty more dresses to try on" she said and gave Draco a hug.
She then ran over to Fred "So what do you think?" she said throwing up her arms and giving a twirl. "Very nice" he replied in awe. "Well this is just the beginning, get back in there and I'll show ya the rest." she said draggin him back in. The next dress she tried on was strapless,light pink, and was a little too tight. Fred loved it but Belle could hardly move so she went to her next dress. This dress was black and was made of silk. The gloves were sewn up and it was very form fitting with flares at the ends of the gloves instead of holes for her fingers. She walked out and saw Draco standing in the doorway with Pansy. She looked very annoyed "Have you finished yet? This small dump only has one dressing room and you've used up enough of my time." she said.
Belle then gave in "Yeah I'm done she said and changed back into her normal clothes. She put back the dresses and didnt find any that she liked. Fred and her then went to the Hog Head for some butterbeer. "I'm sure this hasnt been much fun for you has it Fred" she asked him. "Belle honestly, this day has been fun, best thing is that Draco is jelous of me for once" he said smiling. "Alright, shall we buy presents" she asked grabbing his hand they left the shop and ran from store to store finding things.
