(Marian's POV)
I walked back into my quarters and leaned my back against the door, sighing deeply.
The day has been long and all I wanted to do was curl up under my fluffy white blanket and read a book with a cup of hot chocolate beside me. And that's exactly what I was going to do.
But first I needed a shower. I opened the door on the other side of my room and stepped into my small bathroom. I took off all of my clothes and stepped in the shower.
The warm water falling on me washed away all the soreness from my muscles and warmed my body nicely. After I was done with the shower I stepped out and wrapped a towel around my naked body. I walked back to the bedroom and was going to sit on my bed before I saw something on top of it.
It was a box. A big white box with a black silk ribbon wrapped around it neatly. I unwrapped the silk ribbon and opened the box.
There was a piece of black silk paper over a piece of cloth. I furrowed my eyebrows and picked up the paper. My eyes widened when it revealed a very expensive looking dark emerald green dress. I carefully picked it up. It was long, flowing all the way down to the floor. It had sleeves made from lace that reached to my elbows and the same lace was also covering the top part of the dress.
There was a handwritten note attached to it.
No dress will do justice to your beauty but I hope you like it. ~C'
There was another note on the bottom of the box under the dress.
'Dark green looks gorgeous with your hair.' ~C
"Oh my..." I whispered. I placed the dress gently on my lap and examined it. It truly looked really expensive. I could never afford anything like this. The notes with the dress ended to the letter C as a signing from the person who sent me this. C... Coby! Coby was the only one who I had talked about my problem of not having a dress to the Yule ball.
The dress was perfect as well as appropriate to wear as a staff member and to be among students. Nothing revealing but it still was the most beautiful piece of clothing that I own.
Coby did mention on our date that he shows his love and affection by gift giving. But this... I need to thank him when I see him next time. I can't thank him enough. The Yule Ball was tomorrow so this was absolutely perfect.

Yule Ball. The Great Hall had been decorated to look like an ice castle of some sort. In the middle was a big space as a dance floor and tables on the sides with small foods and punch.
I stood beside Minerva. All of the professors and the staff were at the front of the hall waiting for the four champions with their dates to walk in. When the dance was over other students were allowed to dance as well.
All the students started to dance and have fun either with their dates or their friends. I couldn't help but want to dance as well. I watched how Albus led Minerva on the dance floor and other professors joined after. The only ones left at the front were me and Severus.
