Chapter 7: The ball
James has made 6 more attempts at trying to get me to go with him. Of course, I refused and he's taking some hufflepuff slut named Trixie Glamoura and I'm going stag. Aren't we all jolly? I'm currently getting dressed. I slip on my gown and heels. Heading into the bathroom, I select a shimmering pink blush which I dab onto my cheeks before choosing a sparkly pink lip color for my lips. Then I apply my eyeliner and delicately brush a pale blue eye shadow above my eyes. I curl my hair and slide a metallic blue headband on. Perfect. I smile to myself and walk out the door. I gracefully descend and many eyes train on me, momentarily forgetting there own dates. Removing myself from the last step, i slip out of the common room through the portrait of the fat lady and head down to the great hall.
3 hours later . . .
The last song of the ball is about to be played when James Potter's smooth voice whispers in my ear:
"Care for a dance?" Many girls watch jealously. Trixie, being the neglected and abandoned date she is, stands on the other side of the room with her arms folded crossly and an envious look on her face.
"Why not?" I reply, an evil and devious plan forming in my mind.
"Great." He says and grasps my hand with one of his own, then places his other on my waist. At the end of the song, I lean in closer and pretend to close my eyes. With a triumphant smile, he closes his eyes, obviously expecting a kiss and thinking I have finally fallen madly in love with him. Well, I have, but that's irrelevant. Silently, I slip away leaving him standing in the middle of the floor with his eyes closed and approach the hysterically laughing Crystal. James opens his eyes and glances around only for him to see us giggling our heads off. His mouth opens and closes in shock, but I just grin maliciously and wave. Then, still smiling in great amusement, Crystal and I meet up with Ruby and Amber before exiting the Great Hall.

"Oh, you should have seen the look on his face when he realized! It was hilarious!" Continues Crystal as we all giggle hysterically at my amazing talent of embarrassing Mr. James high-and-mighty Potter. I sigh.
"These great memories I'll have of Hogwarts to tell my children . . ." I say happily. Crystal snickers.
"Yeah, I can just imagine you, Emerald, holding your 18 month old son. You'll say 'Guess what your bedtime story is tonight, sweetie? The one where mommy disses(A/N sp?) a great prat named James Potter. You know, your favorite?'" Crystal jokes. We all laugh. I straighten up with a serious expression on my face.
"You guys this important. Next Friday, Girls Night Out. I've posted it in the Great hall so all our members will know. We have something to discuss with them. You know the drill. Meet next to the one-eyed witch statue at 7:00 and sneak into Hogsmeade. Agreed?" I ask. Everyone nods grinning.
"Agreed."
