First place we went was to get started in dress shops. We went to three and by the fourth one they had their dresses but I had yet to find mine. I tried on at least twenty different dresses total so far and not one appeared to be what I wanted or had in mind. But standing outside the last dress shop in hogsmade I saw a stunning dress in the window.

"That's it" I said gaining the girls attention

"Wow yes it's the best one yet, you have to try it on and see if they have your size" Pansy said

"Yes it will go so well with your skin tone" Daphne said

So we did enter that shop and found that was the last and only dress left and lucky for me it was my size. When I put the dress on I was left with no words on how I felt about it. I was starstruck and I knew that no matter the cost of this dress I was definitely buying it. And I did, I refused to show the girls how I looked because I wanted it to be a surprise.

"You will get to see me in it by Friday so stop complaining" I laughed as we made our way towards the entrance of the castle

After having bought other items such as accessories or candy from the sweets shop. To other little random clothing pieces that the three of us most definitely did not need. And shoes as well, then with all bags in our arms we entered the common room. Perfect timing as the boys sat on the couch eyes wide at the bags in our arms.

"Damn ladies" Blaze said

"Trust me it would have been more if I didn't drag them out" I teased the two girls

"Oh please your the one that took ages to find the dress" Daphne teased

"I'm not the one who bought ten different shoes, five necklaces and more outfits that I don't even have room for" I giggled

"As if" Daphne huffed

"I believe it" Draco said

"Ugh whatever" Daphne said

I laughed and headed to my dorm to put my things away, as I was about to put them away. Theo came in and stood behind me his face held his normal grin. As he held my hips and kissed my neck softly sending shivers down my spine.

"Can I see what you go Cara Mia?" He asked

"I can show you everything except my dress for the ball" I said turning around and kissing him on the lips

"Ok deal" he said

I began to show him everything I got and to my surprise he watched with interested eyes. He would comment on things and teased me on how he'd take it off easily or not. I felt so happy in that moment with him and for once I was excited for something.

Time skip

The rest of the days before the ball went by in a flash and I soon found myself getting ready with both pansy and Daphne. The boys tried to sneak in at least four times to see if we were dressed so they can get a glimpse of our dresses. So we decided to seriously lock the door with a spell and put a chain under the doorknob to keep it shut. We talked about random things happy things and what we hope to have done or get done in our future.

"I'm good as long as you both never leave me high and dry in our friendship" I giggled

"Us leave you, never" Daphne said

"Why would you think that" Pansy questioned

"Just making sure" I said with a soft smile

Truth be told I didn't know how our future would go or look like. To be entirely honest I was scared that the things I dreamed for would never come true. Although one thing the biggest thing was having Theo or someone to make me feel the way he does. And that I'm grateful for because I have it and if everything else goes to shit I will have him always. Aside from that we got everything done and soon slipped into our dresses helping each other size it up.

"Damn you look perfect in that" Pansy said

"Honestly kind of jealous now" Daphne said looking me up and down

"Don't be you guys look just as stunning" I said

"I do love this color tho" Pansy said running her hands over the curves of her purple dress

"And it looks good on you, plus Daphne your red dress it just as beautiful very fitting to" I said

"Well we better find our respectful dates" Pansy said

We all linked arms and walked down the stairs towards the common room. Where the boys were waiting and chatting about whatever it was. When my eyes met Theo's he gasped and ran his tongue along his inner cheek. I paused he looked devilishly handsome at best as he walked over to me.

"Wow Cara Mia, I think we should skip the ball and head to my dorm" he said running his hands over my curves

"I'd love to, but I put in all the work to get ready so no" I said with a smile

"Your going to have to help me out here" he groaned pressing into me teasingly

I bit my lip feeling how hard her was and smirked up at him before giggling and walking away. He trialed behind me before catching up and linking arms with me as well followed everyone to the great hall. And the night didn't end for after the dancing at the ball we all had invited the others for a party in the Slytherin common room. Me and the girls rushed to change into something easier to wear and more comfortable for the party. Of course I did pregaming shots with the girls and then headed down to the common room.
