The Divinity of Duality - d.m.

Year 4 Part 11

Preparing for the Yule Ball was insane. Cho, Luna and I's room became a jungle to hosting the dressing, hair and make-up of 5 Ravenclaw girls. All of the girls looked breath takingly beautiful, especially Cho, Her hair was put up into a loose low bun he fringe slightly curled. Her dress fit her like a glove and was so elegant. I had loosened my curls slightly and put them into a half up half down style with a few curly tendrils framing my face. I did my make up simple per usual with a wing of eyeliner and peachy pink lip gloss with slightly darker lip liner. Luna had already drifted off to meet Terry, her dress was insanely frilly and Marietta swore she saw a fluffy creature look up at her from under the skirt. We all walked out of the common room and scaled down the steps from the tower in the direction of the great hall. We all chatted incessantly, adrenaline pumping through our veins. Cho, Padma and Marietta rushed down the stairs to meet their dates. I saw Cho link arms with Harry as they exchanged sheepish smiles. Padma walked over to Ron gasping at his hideous dress robes, I laughed at how truly atrocious they were. She wasn't kidding when she said she would be matching with her sister. The only difference between them was Padma was slightly prettier than Pavarti. I took a deep breath trying to calm the guilt nagging at my chest. I admired the dress and the way it hugged my figure, maybe if I didn't look at Malfoy then it would be as if he didn't get it for me. I turned and walked down the steps feeling people's heads turn to look at me. Gasps escaped their lips and I held my head up trying not to cower under the many gazes now set upon me. I locked eyes with Cedric, who grinned widely, his eyes racking up and down me. I walked over and he pulled me into his body by my waist. He kissed me passionately knowing there were eyes on us. He looked so handsome in his dress robes, I felt my lingerie grow slightly wet. He slowly pulled away, biting his lip as he admired me some more.

"You look so beautiful." He whispered in my ear.

"You clean up nicely Diggory." I giggled back.

"Are you two ready to dance?" Flitwick asked, interupting the moment.

"Uh, yes sir." Cedric said, smiling politely. Flitwick nodded and waddled away.

"Dance?!" I asked.

"Yeah all the champions and their partners have to do the first dance." Cedric told me.

"Some warning would have been nice." I huffed. He just smiled and pulled me in for another kiss, this one lasting longer. I felt his tongue gently swipe over mine as he held my waist tightly. Rodger Davies and Fleaur De Lacour came over to make some small talk amongst champions I guess.

"Ahh, Millie you look tres belle!" Fleur said, a strong French accent lacing her voice.

"So do you Fleur and you Rodger look much better in quiditch gear." I laughed.

"Well thanks for a pathetic compliment Millie." He laughed.

"See you out there captain." I said with a small salute. The couple walked into the great hall leaving me and Cedric. I looked back up at the stairs to see Hermione Granger walking down the stairs looking breath takingly beautiful. She smiled shyly and was met by Viktor Krum at the bottom of the stairs. I gave her a gentle applause and she rolled her eyes, smiling widely. 

"One second Cedric." I said, kissing his cheek and walking away. I spotted Blaise and Daphne about to enter the great hall. Daphne looked gorgeous blonde locks in a bun on the top of her head and a tight green dress, hugging her slim yet tall figure. "Daph, you look so bloody hot!" I said, pulling her into a hug.

"Jeez, you look amazing!" Daphne said, "If I wasn't with Blaise I would definitely by trying to hit that." She said gesturing towards me. I laughed and rolled my eyes.

"Blaise you look strapping." I sniggered.

"Shut up and give me a hug." He said, rolling his eyes.
