Chapter 9
It was Friday morning and the school had been given a day off as the teachers were all helping decorate the Great Hall in preparation for that nights Halloween Ball. The usual rumours were flying around about the night's entertainment. Dumbledore had apparently booked a group of signing hags but how accurate that was, know one knew. Ginny and Amethyst were discussing nail varnish when the dormitory door was thrown open and Fern emerged, looking red and sweaty, panting with one hand grasping her side. "What's up" Amethyst chirped jumping of the bed and making her way over "I've found out who Pansy Parkinson is going with, Goyle. So that means we wont have to watch ourselves as she will be too busy with him to care about us" Fern managed to pant out her voice rising slightly higher than usual.
The ball was due to start at 8:00 that night and it was 7:50.Ginny was wearing a long dress and shawl made of a deep violet satin material. It hugged her thighs and hips which made her look every inch a princess. She was also wearing strappy black sandals with a 3inch heel that gave her the appearance that she was floating when she walked, and her hair was in a pony tail in ringlets with two front pieces down either side of her face to frame it.
She had 5 minutes to go. She ran over to her set of draws and took out her parcel from Draco; she opened it up and peered into the box. It was the most beautiful piece of jewellery she had ever seen. It was a necklace. Made from amethyst and diamond stones in a heart shape. The stones were clustered around a rune sign for love made from gold. It was backed on gold and on a gold chain. She put the necklace on and made her way to the common room where she met Fern with her hair slickly clipped up in a bun and wearing a turquoise dress that was originally forget me not blue, but she tried to charm it green to match Seamus's but failed, however it still looked pretty. Amethyst was wearing a baby pink little number with sequin tassels, her shoulder length blonde hair down. She also looked pretty. "Are we off" nervously grinned Fern "Either that or we are a little over dressed to be in here all night" smiled Ginny and returning a grin "Oh wow Ginny is that you?" muttered Neville Longbottom emerging from the portrait hole. "It was last time I looked, come on girls see ya later Neville" she replied
