"Mother you expect me to wear this!" 17 year old Hermione Granger yelled from her room where she was looking in a full length mirror.

"Hermione dear you look amazing" her mother Amy Granger said quickly looking at her daughter from the door way.

" Mother i look like a SLUT and that doesnt make me look amazing..."

" Dear you have a body you need to show it off not keep hiding it behind those baggy things you call clothes." her mother said grabbign her jacket from the closet.

"Hermione, dear if we dont get in this carriage now we are going to be late." Her father yelled from the bottom of the stairs.

"I Father really wouldnt care i dont even want to go" she said walking down the stairs with her mask at hand and her full length jacket wrpped around her trying not to trip on her four inch spike heels.

"Hermione dear you know how much this is going to mean the the wizarding world and what it will mean to us we will be able to live the life we did before voldemort came to power...Im know the Malfoy son has given you trouble but things will change...your an adult now honey and so is he...everyone deserves a second chance." he said hugging his only daughter the only thing that really matters in his life

"Father do you really think hes gone Voldemort i mean?"

"yes honey i do now let go to the ball okay and remember be cinderella..."

"I will try, i will try."

Slowly she walked to the carriage. Then she noticed it the silver M that marked the side. The Malfoy M she sighed lighting stepping into the carriage with help from her father.
