Jenna Thomsons helping hand
Tess woked up at eight the following morning. She saw that Hermione alredy was gone, and the other two were still sleeping, great for them. She rose and got dressed quickly before heading to breakfast. She didn't bother to look in an mirror, she knew she looked like a total mess, but hey, she didn't care. Malfoy would get a heart attack thought.
The common room was empty, except for a girl in third year who was sitting by the fire, reading a heavy book. She looked up when Tess walked through the room. "Hey, today's the ball, right?" Tess was suprised that the girl had spoken to her, they sertainly didn't knew each other.
"Yeah." She stopped, curious of were this talk was going to lead to. The girl gaised at her clothes and messy hair.
"Are you going?" Tess looked around, checking if the room was empty. When it was, she nodded. "Yes, but that's a suprise, so don't tell anyone, will you?" The girl shook her head. "No, I can keep it a secret." The girl stood and placed the book on the table besid her.
"I'm Jenna by the way, Jenna Thomson." Tess smiled. "Nice talking to you Jenna."
The girl seemed to have something to say, but she seemed unsure about if she could or not.
"Is there something you want to say? I don't bite you know, not mutch anyway." Jenna smiled a unsure smile.
"I was just wondering. Do you want any help getting ready to the ball? I mean..you don't seem to...how can I put it?..." Tess held up a hand.
"I don't seem to be a girl that has the slightest sence of style?" The girl nodded, clearly ashamed.
Tess smiled. "I know it dosn't looks like it, but I know perfectly clear that I look awful right now, and whatever people may think, I have some fashion sence, thank you very mutch. I even bought a special made dress yesterday." Jenna looked suprised and asked.
"Can I help anyway? My mother is a barber and I know a thing or two about hair, so I could help you with that hair of yours."
Tess' smile got bigger. "That would be wonderful, thank you! Meet me here in..eight hours and we will begin." She walked towards the portrait and turned around befor she got out. "and don't tell anyone!"
Draco looked over to the Gryffindor table. Potter hadn't arrived yet. He didn't know why he bothered about her, but he did. Maybe it was because of tonight, he wan't sure, but he felt restless, and he never felt restless before. He almost feinted when Potter decided to show up in the hall.
This time she really had done it.
She was wearing baggy jeans, a t-shirt that way way to big for her and her hair was messier than ever before. He let out a groan. That girl was a living disaster. He svore that he was going to be humiliated to death tonight. He curesd Blasie and his damn Dare.
Tess sat down and started to put butter on a slice of bread. Parvati sat opposite of her and looked at her up and down. "Today you are more ignorat than usually I see." She told her, with some amusement. Tess smiled but stayed silent as she took a bite from her bread.
She saw Malfoy giving her a glare that told her dont even think of coming like that“. She just ignored him and poured some juice in her goblet.
She didn't see Ron until he sat down beside her and started eating pancakes as if he hadn't seen food in years. "Ron, how can you eat that much?" she asked with amusement in her voice and took a sip from her goblet.
"What can I say, I'm a groing boy." He responded as he threw a nother one at his plate.
After some minutes talking about the quidditch season, Ron noticed a blond Slytherin staring at them. "What does the ferret want?" he spat before wispering: "He better be good tonight or I will kill him." Tess gave him a dissaproving look. "I don't think that will be necessery you know." Ron didn't respond.
At 14:30 Jenna waited for the blackhaired girl to show up in the common room. She had always admired Theresa Potter, but never dared to speak to her before that morning. She seemed like a mystery to her and to everyone else. She had heard people say that they knew the girl well, but she was sure of that they only knew The girl who lived, and not the real Theresa Potter. The only persom who knew her would be Ron Weasley, her best friend and adopted brother.
"Hey, Jenna!" She tyrned around and saw Theresa comming towards her. "Are you ready?" Jenna nodded, and Theresa took her up to the sevent years dormitory. Jenna looked around. The room looked pretty much like the third years dorm, but it was slightly bigger, and there was onge more bed in there than in her dorm.
"I was wondering if we could use your dorm? I don't want anyone in my year to know about me going to the ball, if that's alrigt with you and your mates of course."
Jenna nodded. "Yes, we can my dorm, it's pretty messy thought." The greeneyed girl smiled and looked around. "This place is messy too, so thats not going to be a problem."
Tess followed Jenna down to her dorm, who for the moment beeing, was empty. Tess conjured a mirrir and opened the parcel with the dress. She drew it out of the box and held it against her.
It was a black dress, with muggle design. It was tight at the top, showing her forms. Under the waist the dress was wide, and reached her to her ankles. The dress was made of silk and has sparkeling stones at the hem of the dress. Jenna gasped when she saw it.
"It's beautiful!" Tess smiled and started to undress, and after that, she putted the dress on, and Jenna helped her with the zipper at her back.
"I thought that you wore robes in the wizarding world." Tess nodded. "Yes, but I like the muggle dresses better, because they are pretty."
The shoes was a pair of black ones with high heels, that made her one inch taller, so she became 5, 4. she has realized that Draco was much much taller than her, almost 6,1 so she needed those heels.
They started on her hair. She had to admit that Jenna was an expert on the subjekt, and she made a stylish knot at the back of her hair, with curls hanging out here and there, and she left some locks to frame her face.
When they were done, tess had a hard time to believe what she saw. It was a long time since she had been this dressed up, and oddly enought, she liked it.
"Are you ready?" Jenna asked her. Tess nodded and therw a silk scarf around her sholders and loojed one last time in the mirror, checking her makeup.
Draco Malfoy, here I come“ she thought and made her way down to the common room.
