2013. Tuesday

She spent monday on the net but not for searching for a model of dress, and tomorrow is already the Yule Ball.

Clare thinks about some formal dress in blue so it could be related to her Ravenclaw house, a reference only Hogwarts residents would get it, and Slytherin green for Corinna but then her friend has a lot of wishes. She even requests her to embroide her a snake on a silver belt so it would be really Slytherin like.

But even if she has the time and the resources, things won't go as smoothly.

She's sitting in front of the Planetarium because she wants to be inspired by the cosmos but the access is not allowed during holidays, especially when the next day would be the Yule Ball. So the three sixth years and the fifth year of Hogwarts students sit on the grass discussing things and others while Clare's embroidering.

"So, you guys are going in Ravenclaw and Slythrin outfit?" Bridget asks.

"As main color theme," Corinna confirms.

She doesn't add that they still don't have any idea how to transfigure their dress though.

"Hey, that's not bad, I should also go with Hufflepuff's color."

Teddy seems really appealed by this image and scrunches his face to change his hair in red and eyes in gold.

"I'm just gonna go in like this."

"Whatever pal, everything suits you," Bridget laughs.

Which can't be any truer.

"I think I have a better idea. To be seen as a true Slytherin, I should go with a snake!"

Teddy laughs because he thinks Corinna's joking but Clare knows her friend better, even more since she also learnt parseltongue thanks to her.

So they turn to where Corinna's whistling to see a tiny little snake coming to her.

"Actually, I don't think the others will appreciate it."

"What they don't know can't hurt them, right?"

Well, they certainly would know about it if this little lad move around her body, which will surely happen.

"It's not much for them than for the lil' pal, don't you think he won't appreciate to be used?"

"It's a her. But you're right, even if she wants some company..."

"I doubt the Ball would be the company she's seeking for."

They keep on the light conversation when a group of student of sixth year walk by and just start to being rude for no reason. In hindsight, it's probably because of the snake.

Then, one thing leading to another, Clare has to show them how a muggleborn like her could speak parseltongue and that, hey, who's the purest now? Careful, if they keep pissing her, she's gonna send an army of snake to them.

A totally light threat, but at least, no one would ever think about saying muggleborns don't know shit.

Now, she's thinking of putting a snake on her dress too.

Petty vengeance if Teddy heard about that.

But what Teddy doesn't know can't hurt him, would Corinna whispers at her.

Great, now, she totally takes her two friends as her good and bad inner voices.
