"Do you know what colour you want to wear? I might have something you can borrow." Minerva asks gently.
"No offense to you Minerva, but for this occasion, I think I'd rather have a dress of my own." Xiomara says quietly. "I'd like to wear emerald green, I think. It's Severus' favourite colour. Would you suggest a long dress or a short one?"
"A short, elegant one would be appropriate for the restaurant. Perhaps something with a little bit of beading. I've got some catalogues we can look through." Minerva states calmly. She knows Xiomara will take her advice.
"I think a slinky, knee-length dress in emerald green would be perfect, maybe a one-shouldered design." Xiomara says as she thinks very carefully.
"I know exactly the designer I'll look at for your dress. In fact, I know a shop in Hogsmeade that carries the designer that I'm thinking of. We can go now to that shop and pick out a dress for you." Minerva says as they walk towards her room that she shares with Albus.
"I'd love to go shopping with you. Maybe we can go to dinner out just the two of us. I'll send Severus an owl to let him I'm safe." Xiomara says planning her evening out. She enjoys spending time out of school with Minerva.
"That sounds great. I'm just going to change out of my heavy school robes. Why don't we meet in the foyer in 15 minutes?" Minerva suggests. "If you're going to be trying on dresses you should wear pantyhose and high heels."
"That's a great idea. I'll see you shortly." Xiomara says as she walks towards her room.
