Tipping more make-up onto her bed, Jackie sighed. Dani and Bri were going through all of it slowly to try and find the best colours to suit their dresses and now Jackie was able to sift through for colours to suit her own dress as well.

"I don't want to look over-the-top, but I don't want to look plain either." Bri sighed as she added another blue eye-shadow to her pile.

"It's incredible how hard this is!" Dani exclaimed. "You'd think finding the right make-up to wear would be pretty easy, but it's not! I mean, I don't even want to wear red eye-shadow because it'll look weird!"

"Exactly! Although, I am planning on wearing this peach colour." Jackie said, holding up a peach eye-shadow she'd found.

"And there's the problem of whether you're going to merge two colours together or not, because sometimes-"

There was a sudden, sharp knock on the door and Jackie fell silent.

"Just a second!" Dani called out, putting down a lipstick she'd been holding to go over and open the door.

"Hey Hermione!" Bri greeted as she saw who was standing there.

"Hey," Hermione replied before turning back to Dani. "Look, your sister's outside the common room demanding to talk to you."

"As in, Katie?" Dani asked, highly doubting it but thinking of Katie before any of her other sisters. If it was Izefia or Isadora, Dani would also be surprised, but not as much as she would be if it was Katie.

"It's Izefia." Hermione said, biting her lip.

"Izefia?" Dani gasped. She then turned to Bri and Jackie, who were watching her closely. "I'll be back in a second."

Hurriedly following Hermione down the stairs, Dani racked her brain for everything she knew about Izefia, trying to think of a reason why she would want to talk to her. They had never really gotten on well together, mostly because Izefia was practically a living barbie. Her vivid blonde hair made her incredibly attractive, even though she was only thirteen, and she knew it.

As for what she would want to talk to Dani about, her older sister was clueless even as she walked up to the common room door and opened it up.

Izefia instantly reached forward and pulled Dani out to let the door shut behind her. In the next second, Dani hadn't even had time to take a look at the situation when her younger sister had latched onto her and begun crying.

"Hey," Dani said quietly. "What's wrong?" She put her arms around Izefia and hugged her tightly, wondering what had upset her so much to bring her to the older sister that had been sorted into Gryffindor.

"You're the only one who'll understand!" Izefia cried, keeping her face hidden.

"Understand what?" Dani asked gently, slowly guiding Izefia over to the wall and sliding down so that they could both sit against it.

Eventually, Izefia calmed down and was able to lift her face.

"I'm going to the ball with Blaise Zabini," Izefia whispered.

Dani winced, "I feel you."

"No," Izefia shook her head. "He's nice, but the problem is... I want to go with someone else."

"Does this someone else have a date yet?" Dani asked.

"No."

"Then why don't you just tell Zabini you want to go with someone else, and then ask this other guy?" Dani asked with a frown.

"Because he's-!" Izefia stopped and looked away, reluctant to let go of the vital piece of information.

"If you don't tell me I can't help you," Dani said. "And I'm still waiting to see exactly how I can, because I want to."

Izefia glanced up at her, confused and thankful that her sister was forgetting everything that had happened between them for the moment just to help her out.

"Alright," she began again. "The problem is that the guy I want to go with is in Hufflepuff."

Dani stared at her for a while before shaking her head. "Izzy, that doesn't matter. If you like him, who cares what house he's in?"

"But I'm a Slytherin! We have expectations to live up to!" Izefia protested.

"You're also a Monroe and I'm sure mum would be proud if you put aside the house stereotypes in order to be friends with someone because of who they are instead of what house they're in." Dani said, pausing before adding, "Plus, you're too young to be so worried about such things. You're only thirteen!"

"Katie's boyfriend scares me though," Izefia said. "What if he finds out and dumps Katie because of association?"

"Then it would be good for Katie! Malfoy is a jerk and she deserves way better, so if that does happen as a result I will be forever thankful to you." Dani laughed, managing to produce a small smile from Izefia as well.

"Thanks for the advice." Izefia began standing up and Dani followed suit.

"No problem, and don't forget that if you ever need me again I'll be ready to help." Dani gave Izefia one more hug before the younger girl walked off quickly, probably trying to get away from Gryffindor territory before anyone else saw her.

Returning to her dorm, Dani sat beside Jackie.

"Is everything okay?" Jackie asked cautiously. She and Bri had continued looking through make-up while Dani was gone but now they pushed it aside.

"Yeah, Izefia just needed someone who wouldn't rip her head off for something." Dani said vaguely, smiling slightly.

"Dani!"

Dani's eyes widened as she heard Dean yelling up the stairs. Giving an apologetic look to Bri and Jackie, she stood and made her way down again.

"What is it?" she asked curiously. Ginny was standing next to Dean and Dani couldn't help but smile. This gave her a greater chance of going with Harry to the ball.

"I know this is crazy, but now Katie's out there." Dean said, his eyebrows raised.

"Someone's popular." Ginny joked.

"Ha, alright guys, thanks for letting me know." Dani said to them before turning and once again walking over to the common room door, opening it up.

"Oh thank goodness you're here!" Katie gushed, pulling her twin out of the common room. "I need your help."

"What with?" Dani sighed, folding her arms and wondering why she felt like she had just gone back in time. She couldn't help but snicker at that thought, though. At least she was sure she couldn't have because she didn't have the necklace any more.

"Draco's been acting weird ever since he walked in on Masten and I, so I need you to persuade him that I never really liked Masten in the first place!" Katie begged.

"How am I supposed to do that? Malfoy will never listen to me." Dani pointed out. She frowned then as well, suddenly noticing that Katie had dyed her hair blonde. Well, at least they wouldn't be confused for each other so much any more.

"That's just the thing!" Katie lifted up the bag she was holding in one hand and shoved it at Dani. "Put these on, quick!"

"Katie!" Dani protested, but she was already being pushed towards a door and then she was shut inside the dark room.

Groaning, Dani pulled her wand out of her pocket and mumbled 'lumos'. Then putting her wand on a table nearby, she carefully opened the back to see what was inside.

Mumbling something inaudible, she wished she had been smarter in the past few moments. Of course that was Katie's plan. Dani had already proven she could do it once, so why not again but this time to help Katie?

Sighing, Dani began pulling on her twin sisters clothing. Once she was finished, she grabbed her wand and left the room, finding Katie pacing anxiously.

"One problem," Dani said before Katie could open her mouth. "You dyed your hair."

"Easily fixed." Katie smiled, pulling her own wand out of her pocket and pointing it at Dani's hair, saying a quick spell and then smiling happily. Dani reached up and pulled a strand of her hair in front of her face, gasping as she saw it was the exact same blonde as Katie's.

"How did you-?"

"I'm not as dumb as I look."

"Right," Dani chuckled. "Why did you dye your hair anyway?"

"I just felt like it, but don't worry, I'll probably get bored of it next week." Katie shrugged.

"Does Malfoy know you dyed your hair?" Dani asked.

"He was there when I did it, of course. And you have to start calling him Draco or it won't work!" Katie ordered, looking worried.

"Relax, I've done it before." Dani reminded her twin.

"Yes you have, so if you mess up I'm going to hate you forever." Katie glared at her.

"Don't worry, once I'm done with him he'll have completely forgotten that you were ever in a relationship with Dayn." Dani handed the bag with her clothes in it to Katie then before walking past her on her way to the Slytherin common room.

Suddenly spinning around again, she called to Katie, "Change your hair to brown and pretend to be me while I'm gone, please! The password is canary."
