"Fred's joke shop sounds nice. You know, I actually work there so I'd probably could give you a discount on whatever you guys wanted. Well, expect Delilah since Fred will probably give her a discount anyway," Taylor said and laughed. Taylor went over to the rack and picked out a strappless pink dress. "What do you guys think?" Taylor asked. Taylor's dress: www.dresses.com/cocktail9.html

"Not particularly..." Calidus sighed. usually, he waited for people to like him before he liked them. As no other girl had liked him, he had liked no other girl. His system was simple. he sat on the sill of a floor-to-ceiling window and put an elbow on his knee, resting his head in the hand of the same arm. The other arm still held the robes tight to him. He sighed again. He'd probably be the only one at the ball without a date.

Taylor saw that Calidus was feeling bad so she sat down next to him on the window sill and touched his shoulder. "Calidus, don't feel bad. Just because you haven't got a date to the ball yet, and I emphaised the word YET, doesn't mean you can't have fun. It's a dance, you've got to party and have fun with your friends. And if you want to go out with someone, take a chance and ask her. I asked my boyfriend before we were even dating to go to the dance with me and we started dating. Be happy at the party, you'll have me and Delilah and a whole lot of other friends," Taylor said trying to cheer him up.

"Oh my god! Taylor, that dress is adorable. You should totally get that one. It's really cute." She noticed Calidus lookly a bit down. "I know I keep telling you this, but just relax, be yourself, and actually start talking to a girl. You know, girls don't always base liking someone on looks. If that's how it went, I'd never be with Fred!" She laughed. "Just kidding, I like Fred a lot, and he's really cute anyways. I'm a lucky girl. And whoever you end up going with will be very very lucky as well!" She turned to Taylor and Calidus. "Hey, what do you think of this dress compared to this dress...I think I like the second dress better. What do you guys think?"

"That's really cute! I'm not really sure about my dress though. I'll put it aside and keep looking," Taylor said as went towards the racks. Taylor found a good dress and said, "This is a great dress and it's also in a great color but I don't think I could really dance in it but I'll save it incase." Taylor put the dress away with the pink one and found another. "What about this one?" Taylor asked.

"Well, the first dress is kinda too formal, but it's nice all the same. The second one is very cute, but I still like the pink one! But out of those two, I'd pick the white and black one." Delilah had almost decided on buying the red and black dress. She really really liked it. "Hey guys, I think I'm going to go try this dress on okay?"
Delilah disappeared for a few minutes, then came out with the dress on. "Hmm. Fit's great! So, how do I look?" She twirled around and stopped and smiled. "Good, bad? Would other dresses be better? Tell the truth."

Taylor gasped when she saw Delilah come out. "You look great. It's absolutely beautiful and you look great," Taylor said with a smile. "Do you think it's the one? Do you love it?" Taylor asked. "Well, I'm going to try on the white and black one and the pink one," Taylor said while holding the dresses.

"Yeah, I do love it. But I'm going to wait to buy it until Fred gets here. Which he should be, but he isn't....Okay, here goes. Expecto Patronum!" An eagle soared out of the tip of her wand. "Okay, Titus, I need you to go find Fred Weasley and tell him to meet us at Madame Malkin's. Did you get that?" The eagle's head seemed to bob up and down. "Good! Off you go then." She sighed as Titus flew out of the window and off to find Fred. "I hope he gets here soon..." For right now, she sat down in a chair and propped her head up with a hand....Delilah got bored so she looked at the price. "Oooo, nice! It's only ten galleons. I wonder why, it seems like it should be more expens--Oh." She was cut short. "Oh, it's not ten galleons. It's A HUNDRED! Whoa, too much...but I do have enough...Should I?" She sat pondering her thoughts when someone interrupted them.

Taylor interrupted Delilah's train of thought out loud by saying, "100 is not that much. I'll buy the dress for you if you buy me some ice cream and a butterbeer." Taylor smiled and said, "I'm going to try these two on. Tell me which one I look better in." Taylor went in and put the white and black dress on first. Taylor went out and asked, "What do you guys think?"

"Lovely." Fred walked into the store. He grinned at their surprised faces. "Sorry I'm late. George's really annoying me. I needed to threat before I could get away." He sighed and looked at the orange dress Delilah held. "Nice." He smiled. He stopped talking and looked around. Everyone was staring at him. "Uhum...This doesn't really feels normal." He said slowly, while looking from Delilah's face to Calidus and then to Taylor. He looked at Calidus again. "I think I saw you before...Weren't you the one...who bought 10 'Annoying Hitting Wands'?" Fred frowned slightly. "Oh, yeah...I remember...You gave them to Slytherins..." Fred grinned. "Loved your performance, really."

"FRED!" Delilah exclaimed gladly and ran over to him. She gave him a huge hug. "Now, I need to ask you a serious question. In this dress," She pointed to the one she had on. "Do I look like I'm worth 100 galleons? Or just about 50...or even less." She really hoped Fred didn't say less. She knew he wouldn't, but you never know... "Okay, I know you're probably going to say I look like million galleons, and what now, because you are a great guy, but seriously. Should I spend 100 galleons?" Delilah quickly turned her head to Taylor. "And no, you are not buying this dress for me. But you are buying yourself butterbeer and what else!" And then she noticed Calidus. "Hey Fred, I don't think you two have been formerly introduced. This is Calidus. You know, the one I told you about when we were at the Black Lake?" She dragged Fred over to her other friend. "So, meet, make friends, get along, and then back to my question." Delilah was very very concerned about the dress. "Do you have an answer?"

Fred grinned and winked to Calidus. He looked at Delilah and said, "Of course!" With a smile, he looked at Taylor. "And that one is cool too." He looked around. "I have one of drakeleather...but that's for other party's...let's take a look..." He started walking around in the shop, 'till he found a black robe, with silver(goblin-made!) manchettes. He brought it to madame Malkin. "That'll be...erm...420 Galleons. Because of the silver." She added explaining. "I know." Fred smiled. He payed and looked at the others.

Taylor then looked at Fred and said, "Thanks. I like it but I still have to try on the other dress. I don't know what looks better." Taylor then said to Delilah, "Yes, I am buying you that dress or at least paying for half of it." Taylor changed dresses so that she was now wearing the pink one and came out. "So, what do you guys think?" Taylor asked.

Calidus smiled weakly when Fred greeted him. When he was asked about buying the 'annoying hitting wands' he felt himself going red again, and turned away. "Erm, yes, I might have done..." he replied, trying to sound confused. In truth, he had bought them, and had given one to nearly every Slytherin who had ever made fun of him. They'd be sorry.... he smirked slightly, very unusual for him, and turned back to the others, trying to hide his mischievous expression.

"Fine," Delilah said, "But I'm buying all you want after this, including butterbeer, whatever you want from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, and candy, or whatever from wherever else we're going." Then she suddenly remembered. "Hey Fred, is it okay if we go to your shop after this? I've been meaning to visit it and we'd all like to see the new stuff I'm sure." Delilah walked toward the counter to pay for her dress.
