The Spring Ball

In the Common Room

Midnight

I am exhausted so I will tell you about before the ball before I get on a long entry about the Ball itself.

I brought the dress to Sandra and she worked a miracle. I tried it on and it was like I was wearing purple silky sack. This was a big miracle she worked. I couldn't believe that she did it. I couldn't believe it.

The dress was cut up to my knees and she added some of the fabric from the bottom on to the top to make it extra flowey. Then she cut the long sleeves off. Actually there are no sleeves on the top that are made of silk. Her biggest job was sewing on lace sleeves. Around the bust she put on some extra fabric to show off my curves. (It was still an elaborate sack until she did that.) So then it looked pretty much like a cocktail dress. She had a big surprise for me when she magidked on some of her pearl beads to the lining of the bottom and around to neckline. Then she found a pair of ivory shoes for me to wear. (To match the pearls) I know that it is hard to form a mental picture but it is so pretty. I would draw a picture but that would just scare you.

My hair was not put into an up-do like Aubrey promised but it was so much better. She pulled half of it up and tied it with a ribbon. She curled the ends with a weird trick she had found in a magic book. She would wrap my hair around her wand and said an incantation. They turned out to be beautiful loose ringlets. The rest was curled in the same way. The coolest part was that she used a spell and put in some small purplish highlights (they wash out in one shower) and glitter. I know purple color in red hair does not sound at all attractive but they are very small strips that are almost not noticeable unless you are within conversation distance. It looks fine.

Now I will describe Aubrey's outfit. She is wearing a very red floor-length gown. It is sleeveless so she wore a sash around her arms. Her hair is all down and curled. It is very pretty because she put in a red flower. Her hair has no added color but it does have enough sparkled and hairspray to be a hazard to the atmosphere. (The flower is fake if you are wondering why it would not have died)

Sandra has the best dress I am sure. She has a black dress that is not even to her knees. The entire thing is lacy and tight. Most of the dress is lace on a solid fabric except the arms. The arms is just lace. She wore fishnet tights and silver shoes. I know that silver shoes do not sound good but it does because she has silver lining around the collar and the edges at the bottom. Before I saw it in full on her I thought she would look like a scary rebellious teenager, you know, the ones that wear all black and stuff? She just looked really fancy. Her hair was put up into an up-do. She put a silver cord around her head like a simple silver crown. I thought she looked beautiful. Her face was all glittery and she wore bright red lipstick, (I really stuck out) which was surprisingly not too colorful.

Christopher wore regular black dress robes with dark purple silk lining. (Sandra took him aside and told him that we had to match) He gave me a rose when we met in the Entry Hall.

Kathleen deserves a nice critiquing. She wore a bubblegum pink dress that was too tight on her. (And so was her bra, Which the tight dress enhanced) her shoes were white and her hair was let down and you could tell she was attempting to have it curl g4racefull at her shoulders. Instead it was a bit frizzy at the bottom. Jonathan didn't seem to care though (the great thing about some guys. You could be wearing the dirtiest blouse and not matching shirt and they might not even care, that's how Christopher is.)

Well I am exhausted. So be prepared for a wonderful description tomorrow morning. I don't have school to stop me then because it is a Sunday.

In the Library

10:00 pm

Everything was a mess in the common room. All the couples met again for another kissing session. Christopher told me that we would talk tonight because he wanted to spend time with the guys. I have no problem with that, we both had friends before we had each other, I don't want his relationship with them to suffer.

Now, for the Ball.

I will begin when we were first done getting ready. We (Aubrey, Sandra, and I) decided to walk down the stairs to the common room together although we all didn't have dates in Gryffindor. We walked down and the first to be ushered off by her date was Aubrey. Sirius is not so much a lady's man. He walked up and did a light punch on the shoulder and said "'Sup?"

Aubrey grimaced and punched him the same way, "Not much." He laughed and walked away.

"Coming or not?" he said when he turned around.

Aubrey was repulsed and growled as she walked away. "This will never do." She said under her breath.

When James came to Sandra, she said, "Please say you have better manners than Sirius." before he could do anything.

"Er, I have better manners than Sirius?" he offered her his elbow and Sandra breathed a sigh of relief before taking it.

I walked out to the Entry Hall alone. There were a lot of different house couples meeting out there. I walked down the marble steps and looked over the crowd trying to find Christopher. I was at the bottom before I saw him. He was walking toward me with a cute smile on his face.

He bent down to kiss my hand and then offered me a flower. I was blown away by how much of a Gentleman he was. He walked me to the Great Hall, directing me by his elbow. I first saw Kathleen there. She flashed a sour smile at me as she and Jonathan walked by. The smile seemed to say, "Look what I have compare to you." I had to say that Jonathan did look rather nice. His hair waved just right and he had a dashing smile. But Seriously, he was NOTHING compared to Christopher.

The Great Hall looked very different. The bewitched ceiling was beautiful. The walls were decorated with a dark blue material that sparkled a different many different colors. Instead of the long house tables there was round tables all around the perimeter of the room. The table clothes were either silver of gold. There were candles floating above them, and they were not just there being still, they were slowly moving around. In the middle the floor was slightly more elevated then the rest for the head boys and girls and their dates to dance. The different levels of the floor were different colors. The highest level where the teachers and head boys and girls would dance was shimmery, velvety purple. The next level for the prefects and their dates was emerald velvet green. And the level where everyone would dance was black.

Christopher and I sat at a table with Sandra, James, Sirius, Aubrey, Lionel (Christopher's Best friend), and Harriett (His date). There were little black menus with gold letter at each place. Dumbledore showed everyone how to use them. You would day what you wanted to your plate and it would appear on it.

I ordered grilled chicken and Christopher ordered a steak. Harriett began to throw a fit because there were no vegetarian dishes on the menu. Lionel tried to comfort her, telling her that the poor cow would understand her situation and he wouldn't mind. This obviously did nothing and she stood up and began yelling at him about how the cow would not understand because he is dead. He was killed for horrible people like Him who didn't understand that that cow was living. With eyes and a nose. It would walk, breath, and it would say things too, even if it were not in a human language. This cow obviously had a mother, how else would it have been born? And if people did not understand that then they should be killed and fed to pigs. She stomped off leaving a very embarrassed Lionel.

As soon as the first teacher was finished the dancing began. Dumbledore had gotten a new band called "The Weird Sisters" who played many different songs for us to dance to. Christopher and I danced until we thought our feet would fall off. It was so much fun.

Well I hope you did not forget diary that I was going to prank Kathleen and I did. I had finished dancing and I was off getting some punch to drink. Kathleen was up there too. I poured myself some water and turned. I accidentally ran into her, all of my water spilled all over me while her grape juice covered her used-to-be hot pink front. I grabbed a cloth and began to wipe her off saying "I am so sorry!" and "Clumsy me!"

She just pushed me away and began screaming hysterically "You did that on purpose! I cannot believe you did that! You are such a horrible B----!" She continued.

I again moved forward giving her many clothes saying "Oh, dear! You can wipe your self off with that! I hope the stain comes out!" She would have none of it and began to stomp out of the great hall. For some reason, the carpet was not laid completely straight, or maybe it was charmed to fold up at that moment, but the poor girl tripped and fell face-flat onto the floor. Poor thing. She ran out of the room screaming curses at whomever she would see, but she wasn't exactly thinking so most of then were "abracadabra!" or something. Jonathan just stood there dumbfounded.

Then it was Aubrey's turn. You see, She could not stand Sirius for another minute. So she told him to leave her alone and go act like a dork for someone else. She walked up to Jonathan and said, "I am sorry your date abandoned you. I guess she doesn't care." He looked at her and sat down. Aubrey then proceeded to "comfort" him.

I know that seems very mean. But for heavens sake! She needed to learn what not to call us, and how not to treat men! I hope she will get over herself.

Well I am going to go study for OWLs. I may not write for a while, OWLs are in only 2 months!
