Hermione's POV
The day of the christmas ball came quicker than I expected and Ginny, Luna, Pansy and I were all huddled together in my dorm room chatting, giggling and doing each others hair and make-up. We all gathered around Pansy first, Luna fastened Pansy's hair back in a complicated looking french braid and with a wave of her wand made to strands fall loose down the side of her face and curled in a beautiful spirally style. Ginny busied herself with Pansy's make-up whilst I sorted adjusted my dress before slipping it on and looking at myself in the mirror. I don't regret ever choosing this very Slytherin dress. "Luna, your turn now." Ginny said and I turned before going over to help them.
I styled her hair so it was straight and two contrasting blonde colours in her hair to make her hair same like it was glowing. I then brushed it to the side so it fell down her left shoulder and pinned it back so it was in an almost side ponytail type style but at the same time wasn't. When I finished that I turned to Pansy who was admiring herself in the mirror. Her eyes looked quite big and innocent, almost like puppy dog eyes and a shimmering silver eyeshadow. She was wearing deep purple lipstick and Ginny had cast a spell to make her appear slightly tanned. Luna turned and looked at me and my eyes widened, Ginny and really done something and now Luna looked more like a veela than our lovable Luna. She had gold eyeshadow on which Ginny had continued to the side of her eyes and in a very pretty twist which reminded us she was still Luna. Her lips were a soft red and her eyes looked very blue and seemed to twinkle.
Pansy, Luna and I then all turned to Ginny who took a seat without a word. "I have a perfect idea for Ginny's hair!" Luna piped up skipping over to us and taking her place behind Ginny. "I can't use magic though unfortunately it has to be done by hand." Luna continued taking Ginny's red hair in her hands. I began busying myself with Ginny's make-up. By the time we had finished, Ginny's eye shadow was a soft earthy brown which matched her eyes and her cheeks a pretty rosy red, making her cheekbones more prominant. She had a deep red lipstick on and had black, sparkly mascara and eyeliner on. I stepped back and admired Ginny's make-up before looking to Luna who was just finishing up Ginny's hair. Luna gestured to me and I went over and looked at Ginny's hair. Luna had tied it in an half up half down style and the part that was pinned up and been twisted and pinned to make it look like a ribbon. It really was beautiful.
Ginny, Luna and Pansy all turned to me and I took my seat without a word. Pansy and Ginny decided to take over my hair and Luna started on my make-up. I sat for a good half an hour, scowling as my hair kept getting tugged, my eyes stabbed etc. When it stopped Ginny squealed and took my arm and led me to the mirror and I gasped. My hair was in what muggles called ribbon curls. The two side strands of my hair and been twisted and pinned back in a Grecian style and was pinned together with a green flower hair clip. My eyeshadow was an emerald green and I had silver mascara and eyeliner on. My lips were a deep blood red and, as I looked at Pansy she smiled and handed me some silver earrings with sapphire stones in them. "Draco told me to give them to you. A gift for the dance." I took the earrings in my hand delicately and admired them.
"They are beautiful." I breathed and Pansy smiled at me whilst I put them on. I then looked to the girls. "Shall we go and meet the boys?" I asked curiously and they all nodded at me. We walked out of the common room together and saw all the girls huddled together admiring each other and taking pictures with their wands and muggle camera's.
We hurried across the common room and out of the portrait where, to my surprise, Daphne was stood beside a suit of armour. "What are you doing here?" Ginny asked slightly snappily.
"Ron said he would meet me here. Could you possibly get him for me please?" She asked me and I frowned.
"Ron went down to the hall a while a go with Harry, Draco and Blaise. You could walk with us if you like." I said, in too much of a good mood to be ruder to her, plus knowing that she was now no longer after my boyfriend made me feel less defensive around her.
"Oh, okay. Thank you." Daphne said slightly nervously and I smiled at her. She was wearing a Silver maxi dress which made her appear as if she was gliding rather than walking.
"You look beautiful." I said with a smile and Daphne blushed.
"You too Hermione." She then looked at the others. "You all do." She said and I smiled at her in a friendly manner as we all headed to the hall together.
When we reached the hall I stopped at the top of the stairs and gasped. The walls, where there would usually be candles was lights enchanted in different colours. There was decorations decorated all around the walls causing the Main Entrance to look large and more beautiful than normal. We all exchanged glances before walkin down the stairs, it was then that I saw Draco with his back to me talking to Blaise, the group fell silent and Harry and Neville exchanged glances whilst Draco and Blaise turned to face us. I smiled at Draco's shocked face. He stepped forward slowly as we stepped down the last few stairs and went over to our partner's. Draco bent down and pressed his lips to mine, "You look beautiful." He whispers and I smiled up at him. He then peered over my head and looked over at Daphne confused. I turned and she was stood on the bottom step looking rather forlorn. "She was waiting for Ron, we though he was with you so she came with us." I explained. Draco frowned before looking at Daphne. "Weasley is already in there." He said to Daphne who nodded and walked in. "You look nice by the way Daph." Draco said and Daphne smiled at him before walking in to find Ron, Draco then turned to me and offered me his arm. "Shall we?" He said before leading me inside and I gasped at the sight before me.
