Chapter 19
Before I knew it a week had gone by and the Christmas ball was tomorrow, I am going with a boy from 4th year Lucas is his name. To be honest I really would have loved to of gone solo but it is sort of requirement to have a date. Dabi and Padfoot are going together obviously, I recently found out Proogs and Lolly were going together as friends, Wormtail was going with the girl from 3rd year Evangeline, the one who tried out for Quidditch and Moony was going with some girl from our year in Hufflepuff, he had no choice she followed him around for three days straight until he replied yes, this fact made me sad for almost a whole day and I'm not too sure why?
After Ancient Runes I met with Moony in our free period while most of the other had muggle studies and Wormtail was in the library studying for his OWLs. We always go up to the astronomy tower, well if the weather is reasonable, its supposed to be off-limits but no ones ever there watching and where everyone's in Muggle Studies it doesn't matter anyway.
"So, you excited?" I ask Moony hopefully.
"Oh the Christmas ball.. I guess... It's just.."
"Just what?" I ask him puzzled, am I missing something here?
"Oh don't worry actually.." He stutters.
"Why aren't you telling me?" I ask him hopefully looking him right into the eyes, those twinkly brown eyes. "Because I changed my mind."
"Oh.. You still working on the map?"
"Yes, I was thinking of telling the others after Christmas break, it's going to be so boring without everyone." He replies and I lay back and look into the cloudy sky. "At least you have a home to go too." I remind him.
"I'm sorry, Loretta, really..." He lays back too and I look at him.
"It's ok, Remus." I look up and see flakes of white falling from the sky and we hold hangs and just watch.
Nothing much happened after that just a normal day, we had out first day off school today and I didn't do much until the evening when it was time to get ready. We all got our dresses in the mail in the morning, Dabi, Lolly and I were thrilled, the dresses of our dreams. I had always loved dressing up when I was little but I had never been to a ball, party or a prom as muggles refer to them as. Dabi therefore insisted on doing my hair hailf up hald down and I did my full face of makeup as always and make some extra effort such as false eyelashes and a neutral smokey eye.
Dabi and Lolly left for the ball earlier and I was the last one to leave the common room. As I walked down the steps to the beautiful great hall I saw, Padfoot and Moony turn around and just stared.
