Part Four ~ The Party

Back at the Slytherin common room
——————————————————————————
I was pacing back and forth around the room thinking about what I had just gotten myself into

My mom was one of the best Slytherin witches of her days and here I am sneaking off to parties on my first week at Hogwarts

ISLA: All that pacing isn't going to help you pick out an outfit
Y/N: Oh screw the stupid outfit. I could honestly care less about this party right now
ISLA: Y/N, don't say that. We're celebrating Cedric's win
Y/N: It's not his win, it's Hufflepuff's
ISLA: Same thing, and besides we both know he wants you there
Y/N: What? No we don't, how can we know that??
ISLA: Oh please, Cedric's the sweetest guy I know.. well after Ron of course, why do you think he treats you so different?
Y/N: What? You mean like making fun of me being a Slytherin? I thought we went over this, he just thinks we're all secretly evil or something
ISLA: Well it's not just that, he pretends to not like you but I think it's because he's found an interest in you
Y/N: That makes no sense
ISLA: What I'm saying is that he's not too fond of Slytherins which is why he's always keeping his guard up around you, he's worried that he's starting to actually like you
Y/N: Isla, I love our little chats like this. But you've really lost your marbles now. I literally just met the boy, there's no way he likes me
ISLA: Fine, don't listen to me then. Just remember I told you so
Y/N: Whatever
ISLA: But could you ever imagine a Hufflepuff and Slytherin dating, and Cedric of all people?

She laughed and I awkwardly laughed alongside

ISLA: I guess it's a good thing you're not into him then, poor thing might just get his heart broken
Y/N: ...

Y/N: We should probably get dressed now

Isla nodded and pulled out her suitcase from underneath her bed

ISLA: Do you have dress picked out yet?
Y/N: No.. I have no idea what to wear I didn't realize this party was gonna be so.. formal?
ISLA: Hermione's idea. Besides we are in Hogwarts, not the forbidden forest. It's nice to be able to dress up sometimes
Y/N: Ya I guess
ISLA: I'm glad you think so because...

Isla starter rustling around her luggage

ISLA: You have to try this dress on
Y/N: What?? No way, I don't need a dress, I have one already. See?

I held up a dark purple dress with big white flowers on it's collar..

ISLA: And it's not that cute.
Y/N: Well to be honest it was my mom's dress, but she said it'll fit me just fine now
ISLA: Please wear this dress, Y/N. My mom sent me this a few weeks ago but I don't think it suits me

She held up a beautiful silky emerald green dress. The back was an open lace up style with thin straps. It was the most simple yet elegant little dress I've ever laid eyes on

Y/N: Well, I'll admit the dress is quite beautiful, but I couldn't possibly accept this, it's yours
ISLA: Well then consider it an early birthday gift. Wear it. I just know it'll look amazing on you

ISLA: You look stunning Y/N!
Y/N: ... Alright let's just go already
Y/N: You look really nice too or whatever

We both chuckled and grabbed our robes to put over our dresses and made our way outside

We were giggling strutting about the hallway just before catching up with Hermione

She asked to see our dresses under the robes
