A/N - So I decided to rewrite the last few chapters! I recommend re-reading them if you've already read them because I've changed them quite a bit! Thanks for understanding!

Ellie and I sat in my room getting ready for the ball. She wore a strapless, long, yellow dress, and yellow heels. Her hair was curled, and tied up into a half-up-half-down. I wore a long, midnight blue dress. It had a gorgeous lace up back, and a slit where my leg was visible. I wore silver heels and jewelry to match, and my hair was pulled into a low bun.

"You look stunning!" Ellie complimented as I finished up my make-up.

"You're one to talk, Ron will be all over you! And Blaise, too. He'll regret not asking you."

She smiled. "Speaking of them, we better go meet our boys."

Ellie and I stood around the corner of the staircase which led to the Great Hall. I could see several students all dressed up, and having a good time.

"Let's go. Ron and Harry are probably waiting."

We walked around the corner, and began to progress down the staircase. Several eyes turned to us, and the room went silent.

Ellie whispered to me, "I mean, I knew we looked good, but I didn't think we looked this good!"

I giggled. We reached the bottom of the staircase where Harry and Ron waited. I stood besides Harry, and he gave me an awkward smile.

"Y-you look beautiful," he said nervously.

He wore classic black and white dress robes.

"Thank you," I said.

I turned to Ron and Ellie, and realized Ellie had a look of disgust on her face which she was trying to hide. I looked at Ron who wore the ugliest dress robes I'd ever seen.

"Well don't you look...nice," I said, trying not to laugh.

McGonogall rushed up to us, "Mr. Potter, are you and Miss Rosewood ready to dance?"

"What?" he asked.

"Well it's tradition the three champions dance for everyone,  but in this case four," she explained. She turned and looked at Ron and Ellie. "Oh Mr. Weasley...don't you look...nice. Take the other Miss Rosewood to the Great Hall."

He was blushing as he took Ellie's arm and pulled her into the hall. She gave me one last glance; she looked like she didn't want to be here at all.

McGonogall then ushered Harry and me to where Cedric and Cho, Hermione and Krum, and Fleur and her date stood.

"You look nice," said Cedric, as he gave me a hug.

"Thanks, so do you two."

Cho gave me a smile.

We then got into a line, and the doors to the hall swung open. I gasped as I took in the sight of the decorated hall. It looked like a winter wonderland, and snow was falling onto us as we walked by all the other students who stared at us in awe.

When we reached the end of the hall, Harry took my hand and waist just as the music began to play. We started to waltz around the room along with the other Champions and their dates. As we spun around the floor, I locked eyes with none other than Draco Malfoy. He stood next to Pansy who was all over him, but he was completely ignoring her. His arms were crossed, and he wore a frown as he watched Harry and me.

Harry and I danced a little while longer together until we decided to find Ellie and Ron. We found them at a table and they both looked bored out of their minds.
