Like the Haloween Ball, this was put in all common rooms on the Friday before the holiday. Therefore there would be a Hogsmede weekend that day. Mostly so the ladies could go buy a new dress. The guys weren't really big on that sort of thing. Sure they liked how the girls looked in the dresses and they but a little bit of effort into it she the ladies would like it. Other than that...they don't give a care. Well let's just see how this ball is going to turn out.

"Hey Draco, come look at this." Hermione called up the stairs.

"What?" Draco came up behind her and put his arms around her waist.

"The Christmas Ball."

"Ahh...yes...the one we planned. I remember now."

"Yeah me too. So who are you going to take?"

"Well...I was hoping you."

"I would like that Draco." Hermione said.

"I like that."

"What?"

"The way you say my name."

"Okay." Hermione said a bit confused.

"I always hated my name because Luscious said it. Now that you say it instead of Malfoy, I like it a lot better."

"Well I'm glad I make someone happy."

"Hermione you have no idea how many people you make happy. Everyone you talk to is happy because you talk to them."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I mean your smart, funny, pretty, a great dancer, you're just...amazing." Hermione blushed. Draco grinned and kissed her. "So are you going to Hogsmede with Ginny and Lavender and the other girls?"

"Yeah. But you can't see the dress I get! You have to wait till the ball."

"Okay. Whatever you want." Hermione hugged Draco, grabbed her purse and headed toward the portrait hole.

"Oh my gosh Hermione! That dress is beautiful! It fits you perfectly!" Ginny squealed. Hermione had on a red halter dress that went a little past her knees. It hugged her just like a dress should.

"I think this is the one." Hermione said.

"Oh Hermione! That is so cute!" Lavender said. She was in a black halter dress just like Hermione's.

"Lavender that looks great on you!" Hermione said.

"Do you think Ron will like it?" Lavender asked the two girls.

"Do you like it?" Ginny asked Lavender.

"Yes."

"Then Ron will like it." Hermione said.

"Okay. Which one are you getting Ginny?" Ginny pulled a bag to her and pulled out a sparkling blue spagetti strap dress that went to the floor.

"Ginny! That's georgeous!" Hermione exclaimed.

"I love that, Gin!" Lavender said.

"Do you think Harry will like it?"

"Oh yeah!" Hermione and Lavender said at the same time. All three laughed.

"Hey Draco! Did you have fun with Harry and Ron in Hogsmede today?" Hermione said as she walked into her room to put all her bags away. Draco followed her in.

"Yeah. It was actually fun. We went to Zonko's, Weasley's Whizard Wheezes, Three Broomsticks, and...oh, Louie's."

"Louie's?" Hermione asked questioningly.

"Yeah. A muggle store for guys. Clothes, shoes, the like. Interesting actually."

"Oh so did you get an outfit for the Christmas Ball?"

"Yes."

"Good. Well I'm starving so let's go to dinner."

"Fine with me."
