"So, what do you want to be?" Ginny asked me. We were in Madam Brigit's Costume Shop.
I shrugged, "I don't know. Something I've never been before."
"What haven't you been?"
I looked up and saw the most beautiful ball gown. It was strapless, had black corset style bodice, and the skirt part was a dark emerald color. Next to it was a black half-face mask. "Perfect."
Ginny followed my eyesight, "I just got an idea."

"Are you sure about this?" I asked as Ginny applied the finishing touches to my outfit. I had bought the dress and mask. Mum had sent me her black glittery heels. (AN: Think Hilary Duff's shoes at the dance in A Cinderella Story) Ginny had left my hair down and curled it. Then, she did my make-up. She did a blend of black and green for my eyes with black eyeliner and mascara; she used cotton candy flavored lip gloss and finally sprinkled glitter all over me.
"There, you're finished."
I finally looked at myself, "Oh my god, Gin...I...wow."
Hermione walked into the bathroom dressed as Anna Valerius from Van Helsing, complete with sword. She took a good look at me, "Who are you supposed to be?"
"Ron's dream girl." Ginny answered. She was in a form-fitting white silk mid-thigh length dress, white two inch heeled sandals, fake wings, and a halo.
Hermione smiled, "And let me guess, you're Harry's angel?"
Ginny grinned, "Something like that." She looked at me and turned serious, "The dance starts at seven. Be there around eight-there around eight-thirty. Now, seeing as everyone's going to think you're sick, you need to be back here by nine."
I nodded, "Okay."
"Come on Gin. Head Girl duties call. I have to lead the first dance with Draco." Hermione sounded upset, but the smile on her face gave her away.
I smiled, "See you ladies in an hour or so."
"Bye Alex."

"Where's Lexis?" Tempest asked as Ginny and Hermione came downstairs. He was dressed in a pair of black leather pants, a black silk button up shirt that was unbuttoned and black boots. He had left his hair down, instead of the ponytail he always had.
"She's not coming. She's feeling kind of sick." Ginny answered. She tilted her head, "What are you supposed to be?"
He grinned, "I am the vampire Lestat."
Hermione looked at Harry. He was in a pair of black jeans, a red long sleeve shirt, black sneakers, red horns, and a forked tail. "Let me guess," Hermione started, "devil?"
He nodded, "Yeah." He pointed to Ron, "Bet you can't guess what Ron is."
Ginny looked at Ron, "Prince Charming." (AN: Think Chad Michael Murry's Costume in A Cinderella Story)
Ron nodded, "Yep." He looked out of place with his arm around Andrea. She was in a tight thigh length black mini-skirt, fish-net tights, knee high black leather boots, a black bikini top, and a black fishnet long sleeved shirt.
"Slut or dominatrix?" Ginny asked. Everyone's, except Andrea, eyes widened. No one had heard Ginny speak like that.
Andrea smiled like the airhead she was, "I'm a slut."
Hermione checked the clock, it was six forty-five, "We've gotta go. Where's Carter?"
"Full moon, remember?" Harry whispered.
"Oh yeah." Hermione said. "Well then, let's go."
