WE'VE GOT TO GET READY!!! (Snake Girls Only)

Aria smiled at the other two girls. "Thank you," she said again.

Her expression turned thoughtful at Karma's question. "Well..." she said slowly, brow puckered in momentary confusion. "We can still hang out even if I'm going with someone, right? Oh, yes. That is right! Iva is going with someone, too!" The blonde grinned, proud to have worked it out herself.

Ella chirped merrily into the Common Room. She had never been to a ball before, and this was the first time. She didn't have a date, but she was purely going for the fun of it.

"You guys!" she grinned, skipping over to the two arguing girls and the others. "Do you like my dress?"

outfit!

Iris rushed to the Slytherin Common Room with sheer excitement. The ball's about to start and she has just been to wandering along the grounds when she noticed the time. She banged the door open and headed up the girl's dormitories. Where the girls must have been getting ready already. Having received the letter, anticipation is much to be shown.

The girl took two steps at a time and turned to the sounds of the giggling voices. She opened another door and breathed rapidly for that tiring start.

"Hey! Wow! Is that you guys? All right, all of you look gorgeous and splendid. Okay,I'll just go to my room and grab my things. Awesome!"

She ran again and snatched the bag above her bed and patted the sleeping Vee before going down again. What did her mother prepare for her? Clearly, she didn't know the exact things. She got dressed and went to the crowded room once more. Not taking a glance at her mirror first. Holding the accessories on one hand, and the other on the tail of the red dress.

"So . . . how's it? That bad?" Iris paused and looked down at her dress. Urgh. Her mother was too exaggerated somehow. But never mind instead.

"Woah. It is horrible. Red.Not my color. Should I go with the santa hat? It sucks."

Her face turned into a shocking one and she exclaimed,

"What? With someone? I don't know. I've never minded the ball just now. Perhaps later."

Karma waved her hand dismissively. "You look great, Iris. Relax."

Karma turned to the other girl. "Im Karma, Karma Black. And this is Aria Black, Iva Popov, and that was Evangaline Wood, but I think she may have mistaken my teasing for bullying. I hope not..." karma put on a troubled face, then shrugged. "Welcome, guys!"

"Everyone is really pretty!" Aria exclaimed happily, mismatched eyes sparkling. There should always be a Ball, she decided. Balls were fun!

"Mm!" the blonde gave an enthusiastic nod as Karma introduced her to a younger girl. "I am Karma's adopted sister!"

Iris sighed with relief and smiled at Aria. She didn't look a lot like Karma. But they do have that strong bond like real sisters. She giggled as she put on her necklace and earrings,

"Thanks! Adopted? How come? Well, you two look like real sisters to me."

Karma smiled and nodded. "Well, back when I first met Aria in the library, she didn't have a last name," She gave Iris a covert look that clearly said not to ask about it. "....and that didn't sit right with me, no family to belong to? So I just gave her mine. It's hardly official, but it's as official as it needs to be." She smiled. "Everyone looks great. I feel a bit out of sorts, surrounded by so many amazingly beautiful girls. Almost more beautiful than me!" She said this with an almost straight face.

Iris nodded to show that she understood and decided to not to go on with the further story. Which can be quite uncomfortable to the sisters. She smiled and sighed once she finished putting on all the accessories and her dress were as elegant as ever. She looked around and raised an eyebrow at Karma. Everyone is graceful and beautiful. No one's left out.

"You look splendid, Candy. Every girl in this room is. Not to mention every being in the castle tonight. You ready?"
