Yule Ball

^ A dress I found on Pinterest which looks almost exactly how I imagined the dress. :D

~Dorm Room - December 21st - Saturday Night~

It was finally time to get ready for the Yule Ball. I was so excited, but also very nervous. It was my first time attending the Yule Ball. I honestly hope I am able to shake Tyler off after the first dance. I would like to spend at least some time with Severus, seeing as I've had little time to do so recently.

I was putting on my dress right now since the ball was in one hour. Once I put on the dress, I looked into the mirror, smiling at how well it suited me. I left my hair down and curled it a little bit to make it slightly wavy. Then I applied a bit of makeup to match the dress. I was happy with how I looked in the end.

I made my way into the Common Room where Lucas and Alex were waiting for me.

"Hey (Y/N)! Where's your date?" Alex asked me.

"A Gryffindor. Tyler Sanders to be exact. I didn't really have another choice because no one else really seemed interested." I replied sighing at the thought of having to dance with Tyler again.

"Ouch, that kid is quite annoying in my opinion. Good luck." He empathized with me.

"Thanks. Hey, we should probably go down to the Great Hall if we want to get there in time." I told them as I began walking to the Common Room's exit.

They followed until we got to the stair case that lead down to the door of the Great Hall. Once I was all the way down the staircase, I heard the voice of the person I really didn't want to see right now.

"Lookin' good, (Y/N)." I could hear Tyler call to me from the bottom of the steps.

Lucas and Alex rolled their eyes in sync. This got me to laugh a little. I waved them goodbye as they walked into the venue and I walked over to where Tyler was. The three champions and their partners were lined up at the entrance to the Great Hall, while everyone else waited inside.

He held out his arm and I begrudgingly took it. A sudden commotion erupted behind us.

I turned to see Odette, a girl I knew from my year, yell angrily at another girl named Priscilla from the year below us,

"How could you!? You could've told me you were going with Wesley! But why did you make me think we were going!?"

More people looked over. I felt really bad for Odette.

"Piss off! People like you shouldn't even be allowed to go to this sort of thing!" Priscilla spat.

This angered me. I pulled my arm back from Tyler and walked over.

Priscilla, who was standing with who I believe was Wesley in this debacle, gave me a bitchy look,

"You got something you want to say or what?"

"Yeah. Fuck off." I flipped her off and grabbed Odette's arm, taking her over to where Tyler was standing, looking all confused.

"(Y/N), what are you doing?" Tyler asked, looking over at Odette like he had a problem with her.

"Tyler? Kindly piss off." I gave him a fake smile.

He looked baffled and seemed rather upset as he walked off into the Great Hall.

"(Y/N), why are you doing this?" Odette seemed a little on edge.

"You deserve a fun night. Why not piss Priscilla off in the meantime?" I joked.

Odette laughed at this and looked straight ahead, smiling to herself.

Once the music began, we were told to enter. People started cheering and clapping once we were announced. I was ready to get this over with, until I saw Severus. He looked shocked to say the least when he saw me enter with Odette and not with Tyler. I gave him a look that I hope looked like an 'I'll talk to you afterwards' look. The waltz began and people seemed to be staring mainly at Odette and me. I didn't care, however. Severus watched and seemed a tad melancholic about it all. After the song finally finished, everyone else walked onto the dance floor and the band began to play some more upbeat songs. People went nuts for the band. Odette told me that she was going to go find her friends and spend time with them, but thanked me before she left. I took that as a chance to get away to find Severus, who seemed to have disappeared.
