3 hours before the Yule Ball

Today was the big day, the Yule ball. I needed to make sure I would look so mesmerizing that everyone won't be able to take their eyes off me.
One person in particular.

So I searched through my closet in hope of finding that one perfect dress, and after many long minutes I pulled out an emerald green silk dress that caught my attention.

I only had one hour to get ready, since Harry was taking me to a restaurant before the Yule ball.

I still didn't know who I was going with, Harry or Tom. I haven't heard anything from Tom for the past week so I guess I'm going with Harry.

I put on my dress, hoping it still fit and to my surprise it fit like a glove. It slipped over my body effortlessly and hugged onto my waist, giving it a synced effect. It really brung out my hips and curves, and made my boobs look twice as big.

Now all I needed to do is my hair and makeup, throw on some jewelry and head out.

I put some oils in my hair to make it look shiny, and smell good while I styled it into loose curls. For my makeup I put on some concealer and blush, making my cheeks as rosy as they can be, mascara, and clear lip gloss. I latched the necklace Tom gave me around my neck, which would match perfectly with my dress. And finally, I threw on my favorite diamond bracelet and sprayed some perfume around my neck and a little on my wrist.

Luckily, I finished just in time for Harry to come by my dorm and pick me up.

I opened the door to see Harry standing outside in an amazing suit that looked so good on him.

"Wow Harry, you look-"

"Gorgeous." he interrupted me as his eyes studied my dress, and back up to my face. "You look gorgeous."

"I was going to say you look very flattering." I blushed at him and clinged onto his arm. "But thank you."

"Lets go then?" he grinned.

"Lets go."

We finally arrived at the restaurant and glanced around at all the people inside. There were girls wearing elegant gowns and boys in suits, the place was filled with the smell of perfume and cologne clogging up my nostrils.

"I know today is the Yule ball but I wasn't expecting it to be this crowded." I whispered into Harry's ear as we trudged inside.

Suddenly, a waitress came over to us and sent us a warm smile.
"Table for two?"

"Yes, please." Harry and I both answered at the same time.

We followed her deeper inside until she showed us to a table and we sat down across from each other.

"This place reeks of teenagers, I didn't know it was going to be so crowded." Harry muttered as he tapped his finger onto the table.

"I'm just glad we're here together." I smiled at him, but my necklace quickly got his attention and his face grew a puzzled look.

"I've never seen you wear that necklace, where's it from?" he pondered as he kept his eyes on me.

"I..um.."

Think, Avalon, think.

"It was a gift from Hermione."

A gift from Hermione? You couldn't have said from your mother or something? I'm so fucking stupid.

"Hermione? Oh." he raised his eyebrows at me and pressed his lips together.
"That's kind of her."

I nodded my head and I could practically feel myself turning redder than a tomato, and he quickly noticed.

"Are you alright, do you need some water?" he pondered.

"Oh no, i'm fine." I fake smiled at him and shot my head towards the door. I already wanted to leave for some reason. I felt so uneasy being here with Harry when I should be here with Tom.
Suddenly, I saw the door fling open and I snapped back to reality, only to see Tom walking in wearing an all black suit with an emerald green tie. He looks so fucking good I could practically feel the drool dripping down my chin.

But he didn't walk in alone, Pansy Parkinson was right besides him clinging onto his arm and giggling in his ear.

"That fucking bitch." I muttered out loud, quickly realizing I wasn't talking in my head anymore.

"What who?" Harry shot his head around to see who I was talking about but I quickly got his attention again.

"No one, I was singing a song in my head. That fucking bitchhhh I hate that fucking bitchhh. Come on sing with me."

Harry started chuckling and he joined me.
"That fucking bitchhhh I hate that fucking bitchhh."

We started laughing and I was feeling more at ease with Harry, he really distracted me for a moment there. But I couldn't stop thinking about how good Tom looked, and how I should be the one besides him. Not backstabbing Pansy Parkinson bitch. I can't believe I actually use to be friends with her.

"Harry, i'll be right back." I smiled at him and stood up, trying to find the bathroom. Right when I was about to enter, I felt hands grab my waist and push me against the wall and before I could scream, I looked up to see that it was Tom.

"Green dress, green tie, I think it should be me and you going to the ball together." he smirked as he eyed my necklace. "And you're even wearing my necklace-"

"What the hell are you doing here with Pansy?" I hissed quietly making sure nobody would hear us talking.

"What the hell are you doing here with Harry? I think I should be more furious about that." he raised his eyebrows and brought both of hands up to the side of my head, leaning against the wall and trapping me.

"I didn't hear from you all week." I pressed my eyebrows together and my breathing started to become shaky.

All I could smell was his bleu de chanel cologne, and it was really distracting because of how good it smells.

"Someone told me you were going with Harry so I decided it'd be great if I went with Pansy." he smiled.

"Fuck you." I hissed as I pushed his chest, trying to walk away but he quickly grabbed my neck.

"Say that again darling I couldn't hear you." he whispered as his cold fingers stung my neck.

"Have fun with Pansy." I spat as I pushed him off and hurried off to the bathroom.

I was hoping that when I came out, he would be there ready to apologize. Because now that I think about it, he's never apologized to me once. So I walked back out a few minutes later, only to see him back at his table snickering with Pansy and some other people. I joined with Harry and we ate a lot of food, told some jokes and had a great time.

Now, it was time to get back to Hogwarts and get to the Yule ball.
