I grab the book and sit on the couch. He sits in one of the chairs. I open it. I start reading by saying "the escape of the Brazilian boa constrictor earned Harry his longest ever punishment. By the time he was allowed out of his cupboard again summer holidays had started and dudley had already broken his new video camera, crashed his remote control airplane, and, first time out on his racing bike, knocked down mrs. Figg as she crossed privet drive on her crutches. ..." I read for a while. Jace listens. I look over and see the castle clock turn 12:00. I mark the page. I have now reached the middle of chapter 4. I close the book. "No keep going" jace whines. "I didn't know you actually liked it" I say. "I didn't at first but now I do. Keep going we can make it to right before lunch" he says. I sigh and open the book. I keep reading. I don't read for much longer since I know we have to go to lunch soon. It's a good thing I reach the end of chapter before we have to go down to lunch. I close the book. I set the book down next to me. "Come on. Let's go get lunch" I say. We both stand up and leave the room.

It is still crazy around the castle as we head through the halls. We head through to the dining hall and eat lunch. We go back up to our bedroom.

I pick up the dress laying on the bed. I go into the bathroom and change. I slip on the dress and look at myself in the mirror. I look beautiful in this blue dress. I wasn't sure at first about this one but now I like it. 

I go out in the bedroom and tug on the zipper and zip myself up

I go out in the bedroom and tug on the zipper and zip myself up. Jace looks at me and smiles one of the biggest smiles. "Wow" he says and his mouth hangs open. I smile. "You like it?" I spin around once. "I love it. It looks beautiful on you" he says. I smile bigger and start to blush. "Thank you. May I ask why you are not dressed? We have to be in the throne room at 1:00 and it's 12:20." "Because I don't want to wear that" he says simply. "Well what do you want to wear?" "This" he says pointing to what he has on. I look him up and down. He currently is wearing sweat pants and a white t shirt. "I know I would rather wear that too and stay in my sweat pants as well. We can't. If you don't go put this on now I will put it on you myself." He throws his head back and says "ugh... fineee." He changes into his white suit that I made him wear. "Much better. I promise you won't have to dress up much, today will be the first time in a while" I say. I stand on my tippy toes and give him a small kiss.

I walk into the bathroom and start on my hair. I pull out a thing of bobby pins out of the drawer and set it on the counter. I braid a little strand of my hair and put it back. I pin it to my hair with a bobby pin. Next I curl the rest of my hair. I hold it up with at least 20 bobbly pins. I spray a bunch of hair spray to keep it up. I need it to last at least until after the ball.
