The masquerade ball sounds like it will be a lot of fun. I remember when my parents used to get all dressed up in really fancy clothes and go to parties and my mum used to let me try on her perfume. I don't know if I've really had the chance to get this dressed up, with masks and gorgeous long dresses, so I'm looking forward to it.
Not to mention, the next time I get to do this will probably be Petunia's wedding where I will no doubt be forced into some hideous pink frilly number. Assuming Mum and Dad make her choose me as a bridesmaid. Not that she has many options beyond Vernon's sister, who apparently looks quite like him, the poor woman.
If I can just put my Head Girl hat on for one moment, I know everyone gets a bit silly when there's a dance but if we could try and all keep our heads on straight, it'd be appreciated. We all deserve a bit of a break from work and I'd hate anyone to ruin it for everyone.
