Disclaimer: Man! I wish I owned this stuff. But sadly no. I do however own the plot.

Previously…

Hermione pulled it over the nearest dressing room. When she opened the door she found that the room was huge. The rack easily fit in the room with her. In one corner was a chair to sit on. One whole wall was a mirror. It didn't say anything to her so she assumed that it was a muggle mirror. She closed the door and started to remove her shirt when…

"IT'S GETTING HOT IN HERE.

SO TAKE OFF ALL YOUR CLOTHES!" the mirror burst into song.

"AHHHHHH" Hermione stopped what she was doing and screamed.

"Hermione are you ok?" Harry and Ginny both called.

"Ginny get in here. NOW!"

"Ok coming"

"What the heck just happened?"

"What do you mean?"

"The mirror… just… sang… It's getting hot in here!"

Ginny burst into laughter.

"Oh my gosh I can't believe you didn't figure it out. Sorry I didn't tell you about the mirrors. I just assumed that she would have told you." She paused to laugh, "These mirrors play different songs based on what you are wearing. Just think of it like in movies when people are trying things on there is always music and they dance around."

"Ok but it was so creepy."

"You will get used to it. Watch. If I start to undress it plays Hot in Here because one of the lines says 'take off all your clothes'. If you don't want people to hear what you are doing then put up a silencing charm."

"Ok that sounds good. SILENCIO! Ok well I'm going to try these on now. Thanks Ginny"

"Ok" Ginny walked out.

OoOoOoO

After a few hours the girls had tried on almost everything on the wall. Hermione was tired but Ginny convinced her to keep going. Neither had found anything perfect but they each found a few good things.

"Hermione are you ready?"

"Yeah" she opened the door.

Both of them entered complete shock and lost control of their jaws, which promptly fell open the moment they laid eyes on each other.

Chapter 17 Day of the Dance

Hermione looked at herself in the mirror. Ginny had done her hair up in a crown of curls with a few dangling out. It was perfect. Ginny had done her make-up and hair, after she took a luxurious peppermint scented shower. Ginny was putting on her costume.

Hermione thought about what Harry would think of her costume. Will he like it? What will he think? What if he totally clashes? That would be soo embarrassing! My hair looks great though! What would I do with out Ginny? I don't know. Her costume is perfect.

Flashback…

Hermione looked at Ginny. Ginny looked at Hermione.

"Your… you're… It's perfect." Hermione stuttered, "What are you starring at?"

"You," Ginny said bluntly, "I can't believe we're both wearing the perfect costume. You look gorgeous. Harry will die!"

"How much are they?" Hermione asked being her practical self.

"Who cares! They could cost a thousand galleons each and I would still make you buy it! I can totally imagine your make-up and hair!"

"Fine! You seem very adamant about it even though I don't see why you think I look so great."

"How can you say that? Do you know how gorgeous you are? All the guys have been starring at you since we got to the platform! Do you not remember Harry's words after I gave you that makeover that showed off your already fantastic attributes? Do I have to list them! You have a fantastic brain that soaks up everything except how magnificent you are. You have long legs, deep brown eyes, an exquisite smile…"

"Ginny," Hermione cut in, "Do you really mean that?"

"Dang! You have a really low self-esteem. Harry better get busy boosting it. You need to be your old strong self."

"So that's a yes?"

"Of course it's a yes. I wouldn't lie to you. Now let's get moving. We can't let Harry see you till the ball."

End Flashback…

Ginny came out of the bathroom dressed. She was wearing an exotic African dancer costume. There was a skirt that was jaggedly cut and had mismatched beads sewn on. Her top stopped above her stomach and covered one shoulder. It too was jaggedly cut and had a swirled bead design.

"I'm ready for my hair and make-up artist."

"Come on over. I'll get started."

Ginny walked over and sat in front of the vanity table. Hermione grabbed a bunch of hair ties and went to work making 5 small pony tails all over Ginny's head.

"What are you doing?" Ginny asked about the curious hair do.

"Don't worry it will be perfect." Hermione picked up the hair brush and started teasing her hair, making it stick up wildly. She conjured up some matching beads that would stick to her hair and not fall off until the spell was said. Hermione placed them in Ginny's flaming hair.

"Wow! That's fantastic! How did you come up with that? What are you going to do for my make-up?"

"Thanks and it wasn't hard. You outfit matches your personality and I just thought it up. Now make-up."

Hermione turned Ginny around so that she couldn't see the mirror. She applied black mascara, silver eyeliner, and brown eye shadow. She applied a little foundation and cover-up to even out her complexion and give her a flawless face. Bronzer was added and lipstick swiped on also.

"Can I see now?" Ginny asked. Hermione had just been staring at her best friend.

"Go look in the full length mirror."

Ginny walked over. "Hermione I do believe that you have the make-up thing down. I couldn't have done better. My eyes flash and my lips shine. The hair is perfectly wild and I love it all. Thanks."

"You're welcome Ginny. I'm glad you love it."

"Ok now you go put on that gorgeous gown of yours." Ginny pushed Hermione into the bathroom.

OoOoOo

Hermione came out of the bathroom and asked, "Hey, can you make sure the back is fully fastened?"

"Of course" Ginny check Hermione's back, "All good! Go look in the mirror."

Hermione twirled in front of the mirror. She was wearing an old Victorian dress that was made with rich fabrics, in deep reds, browns and golds. Her hair perfectly accented it. The little jeweled pins in her hair sparked. The make up was perfectly unnoticeable. Hermione didn't need or want wild make-up. What Ginny did was perfect.

"Ginny it's perfect." She hugged Ginny, "What would I do with out you? You're the best friend a girl could have."

"Don't get too sappy on me I don't want our makeup to run after we got it perfect. Oh yeah, you're the greatest. Now let's go find Harry.

"I wonder what he is wearing." Hermione stated as they walked down the stairs.

OoOoOo
