Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Kristi hadn't the slightest clue what she was supposed to do to prepare for this event. She would not normally have cared but, this time, she was actually going with someone. Shaking her head and laughing at herself, she looked up into the mirror in her father's bathroom, pointed her wand at her hair, and hoped it wouldn't turn out completely horrible. It didn't look half bad, actually, and so, she stepped out into the room.
Her father was wearing the same dress robes from a few nights ago and Kristi frowned. "I think you should have made more of an effort," she said. Snape looked up in shock. He'd never really noticed how much Kristi did look like her mother; but, the resemblance to her mother now was absolutely shocking. Recovering from his shock, he sneered, "What do you mean?"
Instead of answering, Kristi raised her wand and when he looked down, he saw his robes changed from the dark blue to a dark green, though not so dark that one could possibly mistake it for black. He wanted the blackrobes back, but had a feeling Kristi was right. He should make something of an effort and he felt certain she would refuse to let him change them back.
"You go on. We don't want to be seen walking out together," he said and watched Kristi exit the room. Kristi walked down the corridor and found Marcella and Nick standing outside the Slytherin Common Room. She suddenly felt butterflies in her stomach and chastized herself for being so ridiculous before approaching. "He'll be along soon, I think," she smiled at Marcella before greeting Nick. "Hello, Nick."
