Tracey had been looking forward to the ball. She’d had the perfect costume after she’d talked about vampires with Heidi when they’d snuck off to the Prefect’s Bathroom. Assuming that she and Heidi would, subtly, be able to meet up at the dance, she actually hadn’t discussed it with Heidi.
However, her plans began to unravel two days before the ball. Receiving an owl from her mother, it seemed that she had a date for the ball already. She’d read the letter in disbelief and a great sense of dread.
Her mother, at her father’s direction, told her in no uncertain terms that she was going to the ball with Blaise Zabini. It seemed that her father had a great discussion with Blaise’s mother and it would be just wonderful if their respective children would hit it off.
Her father was whoring her out; again. It felt to Tracey that was exactly what he as doing. It had been made clear to her in the past “how important it was for my career” that she hit it off with whatever boy she’d been pimped out to. Tracey knew there was really only one thing teenage boys wanted…
She was certain that Blaise wasn’t any different. He would paw at her, expecting that she would resist but give in a little. It was a delicate balance. Boys wanted action, but would disparage a girl as a worthless slag if she gave too much.
Things were different not though. Tracey and Heidi were…together. Tracey felt like she had a real girlfriend finally. She didn’t want it ruined, but she feared that was exactly what might happen.
Unsure how to handle it, she’d written Heidi a note, hexed private and delivered by owl that said she’d had a date arranged for her for the Halloween Ball and that she would need to meet up with her later.
Her true plan had been to sneak away from Blaise at the earliest possible moment, change her costume and find Heidi. Blaise really didn’t deserve to see her like she planned to dress for Heidi.
Knowing what she needed to portray, Tracey chose a costume that would be risqué enough to be intriguing while still keeping up the image of a respectable Pureblood young woman.
Going as Tatiana, she wore a shimmering green dress that’s neckline plunged and a pair of matching fairy wings. A masquerade mask that had flowing vines off of it competed the outfit and also served to pin up her hair in an elaborate style atop her head.
Having stashed a bag outside the Great Hall, Tracey then went back to meet back Blaise. Known as quite the lady’s man, he flashed her a big smile and was already playing it up as the walked down with the rest of the Slytherins.
She could see Crabbe and Goyle giving him looks as if already congratulating on “getting in there” with Tracey. She could barely manage to hide her disgust as she entered the Great Hall in the procession of Slytherins. |
