I jumped out of bed and put on a long sleeved green shirt and jeans. That I looked at my hair, deciding what I wanted to do with it today. I decided on an average braid and nothing fancy. It wasn't as if I was going to meet anyone today. I was just going to shop alone as my friends were busy today. And the shop was going to need her help later, but for now she could have fun shopping alone.
As I walked out of my small room to grab my backpack, my parents gave me a muffin so that I wouldn't have to brave the breakfast line at my apartment. I smiled, took the muffin, and went out the door to go shop for the event in Britain. I was quite looking forward to it.
I walked to the shop, opening the door and marveling at all the dresses. They were too fancy for my taste, as I would much rather shrink away then stand out in the ball, and some of those dresses would most likely make her stand out, as they literally sparkled. I was looking at some slightly less fancy dresses when I bumped into someone.║

Emiline was so excited, she was going to New York. Her parents had booked them all a flight ticket for trying so hard at school. All she was wearing was a simple dress with flowers on and slight heels. Her hair was styled as twisted space buns.
After the flight she shouldered her rucksack which was carrying all of her stuff and followed after her parents. Soon, they were in the streets of New York with shops either side.
Emiline saw so many shops that caught her eye. That one there with the glittery shop door.
That one with brilliant ball gown. No you are in America it's a store not a shop. Or is that too stereotypical.She thought. Her parents told her that they were going to the shop opposite the ball gown shop. Emiline left her parents to do their shopping and she crossed the road carefully. She awed the fancy dresses as she walked in. She knew that most of them would be too expensive for her but she had to have a gobsmacking dress for the ball.
Unfortunately, she bumped into someone. Idiot, you should have been looking where you are going.She told herself. She looked at the girl she had bumped into and said with a smile,"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention."She paused. "What the occasion that you need one of these gowns for?"She asked politely.

I smiled shyly and took a step back. The worries in my started exploding, and I had to take a deep breath to stop them from poring out. Happiness and calmness. That's all you are to everyone. I smiled again and extended my hand. "I'm Alice. As you can tell by my accent, I'm from here. What's your name?"
I looked at the dress behind the girl, admiring its green color and not that flashy build. It would most likely be fine, although I was seeing it from a distance and could not be seeing any hidden sparkles. I noticed it had long sleeves and instantly liked it more. I was not going to wear short sleeves to London, and be a shivering fool if there was anything outside. Call me whatever you want, but I am not a fool. I sighed in my head and looked at the girl, hoping she would shake my hand. It would be very embarrassing if she didn't after all.║

Emiline tucked her hair behind her ear while thinking. Isn't when the several schools meet up, the Magical Masquerade. A bell rung in Emiline's head. Isn't that the ball that Hogwarts have organised? The ball which I dont have a partner for. "Me, Oh I'm buying a dress for a ball as well. Mine also has schools visting. It's a shame I dont have a partner yet though."She answered.
Emiline noticed that the girl was a bit shy because she took a small step back. But she covered it well. The girl introduced herself as Alice and extended her hand for a handshake. Emiline opted for a low high five instead.
She could tell that she would have to lead the conversation which was not a problem for Emiline. "So Alice, what kind of style do you like?"She asked,"For me, I like quite extravagant over the top dresses for this sort of thing. Because why not go all out on a cute dress when you have the money to do so! She giggled. Emiline walked towards a red dress that caught her eye when she arrived. "What do ya think about this one. Do you think it would suit me?

"It looks a bit over the top, but would work with you. Definitely not my style though, I'm more of someone who would like that dress." I pointed at the green dress I had noticed earlier. "Oh, and can you remind me of your name? I seem to have forgotten. Sorry, I'm terrible with names. But I'm great with faces!" I smiled again, taking a breath and looking at the dresses again. "And..it's my fault for bumping into you, I wasn't looking where I was going. So...I'm sorry I guess. Sorry for my awkwardness, It just seems odd to me that we both are going to a ball with other schools. What's yours called?" Now I was going to get some answers. Hopefully.║

Emiline realised that the girl might be a muggle, because they were in the streets of New York where muggles and magic folk can mingle together. However she then started talking about a ball in a school in London. Where several schools meet up, and it's called the Magical Masquerade. A bell rung in Emiline's head. Isn't that the ball that Hogwarts have organised? "My school is Hogwarts."She answered. I can always say it is a nickname for Harvard Jr School or something. She thought.
Emiline noticed that the girl was a bit shy because she took a small step back. But she covered it well. After that, Alice indicated towards a green dress. Emiline liked that dress but it wasn't really her style. "Green would defiantly compliment your hair."said Emiline.
There was a pause while Emiline listened to her. "Oh, I'm Emiline Hunter. And don't worry about bumping into to me. I'm actually glad it happened otherwise I wouldn't have met you."
Emiline then noticed another dress the other side of Alice."Ooo,this one is pretty right?" She moved towards a dark purple gown that was more simple. "What do you think of this one?"She asked. Hoping that she had found a dress that Alice might like.
Emiline was glad because the first dress she had seen, she had fallen in love with. That red dress. It was the perfect colour, had the right shape for her body and the material was a satin. Perfect! She thought.

"I like it. It really has a nice look about it. And thanks for the compliment." Then the school Emiline has said she was from hit me. "Um...Hogwarts? How...cool. My school is Ilvermorny. And..." I leaned in closer and whispered, hoping it wasn't a mistake. "I can do magic." I leaned back and stepped away from her in case it was a mistake.
I looked at the other dresses, thinking about what I had just said. What if she was a muggle? I really don't want to have to explain to Ilvermorny that I made a British girl believe in magic...I would most likely get expelled. So hopefully Hogwarts was the right school I was thinking of and I could not have to get expelled. That's what I really wanted to happen.
I walked a little farther away and checked out some way too fancy dresses, still being insanely nervous about what I had said. Or more I had been insane in that moment. Perhaps I had guessed right, and she is magic. Then what? We talk about magic in a store full of muggles? I didn't know any charms to make people not hear what we were saying. So for now I just watched the girl for her reaction.║

Emiline smiled when Alice thanked her for the compliment, she loved when people appreciated a small gesture. She also felt a sense of triumph when Alice said she found that the dress that she had picked has a nice look to it. Yess! She thought.
Emiline listened to Alice talk, her voice sounded shy, but friendly at the same time. She was talking about her school, Ilvermorny, it rang a bell in her head. She was trying to rack her brains for when she had last heard that name. She looked back at Alice, and was surprised to see her coming towards her. Then she whispered,' i can do magic'. DING! Now she remembered, Ilvermorny was one of the schools that was invited to the Hogwarts Masquerade Ball. Emiline's eyes widened with the realisation, then pulled a confused expression when Alice stepped away and moved towards the fancy dresses. Didn't she like the more simple dresses? She pondered.
Emiline wandered towards her. "Thank goodness you said that, I was wondering if you were a muggle or not." She laughed obviously relieved. "What's your favourite lesson? Mine is either DADA or Flying." She paused ,"Wait, we are in a muggle shop aren't we, better talk about more muggle things." She sighed slightly downhearted.
