"I think it's official when you actually ask him to go and he says yes or says that he will go with you," she said finally. She thought this was obvious, but she could see how it could be confusing.
Gaia bites her lip thoughtfully with her eyes looking at something on the ceiling. As she looks at Harper () "I guess, well we talked about colors and not clashing. He suggested purple we were talking about it in our common room. As outgoing as I am I have no clue when it comes to boys!" Gaia giggles excitedly. "Either way I think it will be so much fun! I am working on a hair Charm. I already use one to change the color of my hair, but I would like a more sophisticated look for the ball."
[img align=left]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/theatticbox/raven.png[/img]"Well, at least that way you know you'll be at the ball with him, even if you don't go together! So maybe it doesn't matter so much," she suggested. Her eyes lit up at the mention of a charm to change hair color. "Oh, that charm sounds wonderful! Sometimes my hair just... makes getting to wear cute colors just so difficult."
She grumbled a bit and grabbed a piece of toast, nibbling on it.
"Sophisticated will definitely be a nice change. Not that our uniforms don't scream professionalism, but there's just something about getting to dress in long, elegant evening gowns! Especially if they are silk." She grinned.
Gaia smiles at Harper with an idea forming in her mind. "Would you like to get ready with me and some of the girls? We can work on your hair! I am going with Fade () and () with some of our other friends. I think the ball will be a lot of fun to spend time with other houses as well. I am the most excited about dancing. I am sure Fade is excited about that!" Gaia adds with a giggle.
[img align=left]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/theatticbox/raven.png[/img]"Oh, that would be wonderful!" She set down the piece of toast on her plate and pulled her feet onto the bench to face , hugging her knees. "What do you think we should do to it?"
Gaia thinks for a moment. "Well you have pretty long hair. Do you want a color change or just style it? Do you know what you are going to wear? I learned from my muggle cousins that accessories make an outfit."
[img align=left]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/theatticbox/raven.png[/img]"I hadn't really thought about it. Hmm..." Harper thought about it for a short moment. "Well, it would be nice to get out of the Ravenclaw blue for a change, even if it's just a lighter shade of blue... What about green or a light purple? Periwinkle is my favorite color, but I'm not sure if that's what I want to go with. I think I definitely want an updo, though!"
Gaia concentrates hard while looking at Harper (). She has that intense look in her eye that scares some, but she starts smiling and brings up her wand. "What about something like this?" With a complicated wave of her wand and muttering a spell Harper's hair changes "This is one is a cool one if I say so myself!" Gaia points at a reflective surface on the Great Hall wall. "What do you think?"
[IMG align=left]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/theatticbox/harperblue.png[/IMG]Harper looked into her reflection and turned her head side to side.
"Oh!"
She took off her glasses and looked once more before turning to .
"What do you think? Too much? I'm not sure if I like it..."
Gaia looks amused and smiles.() "I think it works well but maybe something more sophisticated like..." Another complicated wave of her wand and "Hum, I like this one, but if you want more color we can keep working on it!" Gaia was excited about the possibilities this also helped her get to know her fellow students and have fun while helping.
[IMG align=left]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/theatticbox/harperblonde.png[/IMG]Harper giggled, checking herself out in the reflective surface again. "Definitely more my style, that's for sure. I might even get away with wearing pink for once!"
She got up and spun around, modeling the hairstyle for .
"Pink you say?" Gaia says to Harper () "let me try something". Gaia pulls out a muggle magazine from her bag; she kept talking while she looked. "One of my cousins is into muggle fashion and I saw a dress that might work for you... if i can only find the page... AHA! Okay now stand still while I get this right!" Gaia tries to bring the dress to life, but fails her first few attempts. She breathes deeply and tries again. "how about this dress with this updo or maybe something like this ?"

((both hair do's have recolors))
Harper twirled around with the pink hair first, but wrinkled her nose at it. "No, definitely not."
She mimicked the spell had used to change her hair and changed it to the sandy blonde updo previous to the pink locks. Not bad... but let's try with some flowers, she thought. Using the orchideous spell, she conjured up some pink flowers to put in her hair. She twirled again to show Gaia, but then decided to try the other blonde hairstyle she liked previously. She nodded satisfactorily.
"What do you think? Wouldn't use the tights and these shoes, of course. I'd prefer a bit of a longer dress, but this is really cute!"

Gaia didn't like the pink wig at all and made a weird sound between disapproval and dislike. "() I don't think I like the pink long wig!" Gaia closes her eyes in fake disaster and over dramatically and giggles. "I think a longer dress could be great! We are getting somewhere with your style likes and dislike. Beautiful charms work! You are a natural!" Gaia looks through the magazine again. "What about this..." with a wave of her wand a beautiful gown appears. "Try this one! We could also try in other colors!" Gaia sat down looking pleased with her work and smiled.
Options
((I found a few options while looking and
Harper gave an excited squeak at the dress and immediately tried it on, changing the colors to match the magazine, except for the red version. She also tried the green version of the dress with her regular hair to get a feel for her options.
"What a lovely find! They're gorgeous!"

() "I figured this would be an option for you! But there is another option on the other page, right here" Gaia points at the magazine with her wand and does her wand waving "and shoes if you are interested!" "I think your HA is ready! Maybe a little makeup or some glitter! EVERYONE loves glitter!... Right? RIGHT?!"
[img align=left]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/theatticbox/raven.png[/img]Harper waved her wand and prayed that her appearance went back to normal. When it did, she let out a relieved sigh.
"Thank you so much for your help, ! This was really fun," she said with a grin.
() "My pleasure! Harper I think you will turn heads during the ball! I am ready for some dancing, also hungry, all this planning left me famished!" Gaia put her wand and magazine away ready for some food.
This is so exciting everyone! c:

"I haven't considered it! I think it is a fun way to express myself and I just get bored with the same hair color all the time!" Gaia takes a look at "Hum, I think if you are keeping your hair color for the ball a soft green with Sly green accessories would be perfect!"
