Emmeline stood in front of her mirror and bit her lip. She looked pretty, there was no denying that. But she would never be one hundred percent pleased with herself. Her hair was in a low pony-tail pulled to the side and her dress was a cerulean blue. She looked at her feet. She was wearing her black and white converse under dress. She smiled. She may be a girly-girl, but heels were one thing that she could never deal with.
Emmeline did a twirl and sighed. She was so nervous. What if Sirius ditched her for his friends at the ball? Would he let her hang out with his friends? Would he think she was game enough to keep up? Emmeline knew she could be fun. She had a lot of muggle friends before she started going to Hogwarts. She could hang with the best of them.
"Hey Ror, what do you think? I mean, about me and Sirius?" Emmeline looked questioningly at her best friend. Well, at least that's what she thought of Rori. They hadn't been friends for very long, but Emmeline confided in her about everything.

Rori looked in another mirror in the room. She was already dressed. Her dress was a light sky blue and she was wearing flat shoes. Rori wasn't ready to wear heels yet to say the least. She was able to let her hair dry so that her hair would be slightly wavy. Half of it was swept back and held with a pretty sliver clip that had shiny blue like jewels on it.
She was nervous about the dance. It was normal to be slightly nervous and excited right? Rori took a seat on her bed before turning to Emmeline. "I think you look pretty," she first answered. "Oh, you mean that. I think that you and Sirius are fine. You two are going to have fun. I'm sure." Rori gave her a reassuring smile.

Emmeline smiled a little. "Thanks. I'm sure we will have fun..." She turned to face Rori head on and put her hands on her hips.
"Now, you look stunning. Your date is going to have to swat guys away like flies." She grabbed a stick of lip gloss from her bed and handed it to Rori. "This will make your lips look really good. Your man won't be able to resist." Emmeline giggled and turned to her bed and started packing everything back up.
"Hey Rori....are you nervous about tonight? I mean, like, another attack or something?" It had been on Emmeline's mind ever since she had found out that the Triwizard Tournament was going to continue.

"Of course you will! Plus, I'll be there with you." Rori grinned widely.
She blushed slightly. "I don't really think that there'll be a problem with that. If there is one of us that our dates are going to have to keep an eye on, its you. Sirius is going to have to make sure he watches out." She giggled lightly. Rori accepted the lip gloss from Emmeline and looked at it. She never used any kind of lip gloss before, but she took the top off of it anyway. Applying a light coat, Rori handed it back to Emme. "Thank you."
"Nervous? Only about the dance itself," she said. "I don't think that we'll have to worry about an attack while we're there. I mean, all the professors well be there. It'll be just fine. All you're have to worry about is if Sirius steps on your toes."

"You know, you don't even need to wear make-up. You are a natural bomb shell. How you're so tan and living in England, I'll never know..." She said, accepting the gloss from Rori and throwing it into her make-up bag.
"Sirius probably won't even notice me. I'm sure him and his friends have thought of some prank to do and that'll be all he thinks about...but I should stop complaining. I mean, at least I have someone to go with right? After this, if Sirius decides he doesn't like me after all, Leo is hooking me up with one of his friends. I mean, he has to right? I did give him a stamp of approval. And you can probably tell I'm nervous because I'm talking so much right?" Emmeline said all this in a rush so Rori probably didn't get half of it. She started to take deep breaths and turned towards Rori.
"You know, no wonder I never got into Gryffindor. I have to be the only person on this planet that gets anxiety over a guy." She laughed a little at herself. "So, start talking. I need a little distraction."

"Its just part of my family. I remember my mum had tan skin," Rori said with a shrug. "And you're naturally pretty too Emme! I promise! I bet I could walk up to some guy and ask them if they think you're pretty and they would agree that you are!"
She gave a sigh, actually understanding her friend. "Emme, Sirius will notice you. He'll have to. I doubt that him and his friends will pull some prank at the dance. You two will be dancing a lot and laughing with each other. And if you wanted, I'm sure that Leo could set you up with a friend, but just breathe." Rori gave a little laugh.
"It's alright to be nervous. I'm pretty nervous myself." Rori's hands were clasped together and she was fiddling with her fingers, a sign that she was nervous. "And I'm always like that too. You're not the only one. I still get that way right before I meet Leo." She blushed lightly at the mention of his name again.
"A distraction? Well, we can plan how we're going to spend a girl's night together. We need one."

"Wow! I never thought I'd see the day that beautiful, intelligent, taken Rori Logan got nervous. Somewhere, up in space, the planets have aligned." Emmeline laughed a little and threw a small pillow a Rori, purposely missing so as not to mess up her hair or make-up.
"Do you think we should start heading out? Or do we have time to sit and talk for a bit? I feel like I havent talked to you in forever and a day."

She started laughing. "I do get nervous!" As the pillow flew by her, Rori continued to laugh. "Oh, that means a pillow fight after we get back from the dance! If we're to tired, we can always do it tomorrow!" She was glad to have Emme as a friend, because she was able to tell her anything.
"I think we have a little bit of time to sit and talk. After all, it didn't take us long to get ready."

"I know. I think we set a good example for girls everywhere. Low-maintenance is key." Emmeline scooped her dress up and sat down beside Rori and sighed. She could already tell she should have picked a shorter dress. This was going to be a pain to deal with all night.
"So, what do you think is going to happen tonight? I mean, between you and Leo? Of course, nothing to serious. But something right?" Emmeline asked with a bright smile and raised eye brows, as if daring her to tell her nothing.

She preferred to be low-maintence. After all, she didn't really like spending that much time getting ready.
"What do you mean," Rori asked. "Oh. Nothing, other than dancing." She gave a shrug. Rori thought about dancing with him, and it made her face warm. A smile crossed her face. "What about Sirius? Think he's going to kiss you," she asked with a light teasing.

Emmeline couldn't help but laugh. She shoved Rori lightly.
"Stop it. You know that probably won't happen. You know how many exes he must have at the dance? They'll probably stalk us all night." She smiled. "Why are you blushing anyway? Thinking of Leo's lips on yours? Or some other area that they better not go?"She giggled again. Poor Rori, it was so easy to make her blush. Emmeline almost felt bad...almost. But Rori knew it was all in good fun.

She playfully shoved Emmeline back. "Emme!" Rori's face turned a little brighter red. "I was just thinking about dancing is all. You know, you're going to be the one that we have to watch out for." Rori laughed.
"Besides, I don't think those other girls will try anything. He asked you didn't he? That has to be something, even if it is just as friends. We'll just have a lot of fun. If they don't want to go dance, we'll go out there and do it, right?"

Emmeline laughed. "You're right of course." She checked the time and saw that they actually did have like a good fifteen minutes before they actually had to meet the boys at their respected places.
"You know, it'll probably be me and you that the professors have to actually watch for on the dance floor." Emmeline said with a laugh. "What are you doing after the dance? Do you think there will be any parties anywhere?"

Rori just laughed along with Emmeline. She wasn't one to ever cause trouble. "After the dance? I'll probably just come back to the common room and head up here." She gave a shrug. "More than likely I'll be too tired to go on and do something after dancing all night. As for parties, I'm not sure. I haven't heard of anything, but I doubt I'll be going to anything."

Emmeline nudged Rori. "Come on Ror. Let's do something after wards. It'll be fun. Just for one night, let's not be the genius, good-hearted, sweet little Ravenclaws. Let's be....gorgeous, sexy, dangerous, and adventurous ladies." She clapped her hands together and stood up excitedly. She turned to Rori with a bright smile. "All we have to do is follow some of the older kids. Please!" She added with her bottom lip poked out.

As Emme tried to persuade her to go to a party, Rori started to think about it. She honestly didn't think about going to some party because a lot of other people where probably going to go and she was more than likely going to go back to the common room with Leo and spend a little bit more time with him before going to bed.
"I don't know Em. If Isa and Voltaire find out, that could mean trouble," she said. Rori frowned she understood that her friend wanted to go, but she tried to be reasonable enough to think about what could happen. "Besides, I thought about just coming back here and talking with Leo before turning in for the night. But, I'll tell you what. I'll think about it and let you know before the dance is over, alright?"

Emmeline sighed. "Oh, don't worry about it. You can spend time with Leo, I understand. I'll just ask around and see what everyone else is doing." She smiled and turned towards the mirror one last time.
"Well, are you all set?"

"But I wouldn't want you going to a party by yourself," said Rori. She was in a small dilemma. Part of her said no, don't go, but another part said that she couldn't let Emmeline go alone. "I'll decide before we leave the dance." She gave a smile and smoothed out a part of her dress as she was sitting down.
Rori stood up, not bothering to look in the mirror again. She wasn't going to try and not worry too much about what she looked like tonight. Her smile grew and she looped her arm through Emmeline's. "I'm ready as I'll ever be. Let's go have some fun."
