Ron is Ron, I haven't seen Harry meeting such

pretty indeed and Hermione seems different at the Yule
Ball, but it is still Cho he is keen on.
Yes he does notice that Parvati looks pretty. And yes he was still keen on 
Cho but his reaction to Hermione is a just a tad bit more involved than 
"Hermione seems different".

>From GOF "The Yule Ball"

The oak front doors opened, and everyone turned to look as the Durmstrang
students entered with Professor Karkaroff. Krum was at the front of the party,
accompanied by a *pretty girl in blue robes* Harry didn't know.

::snipped bit where McG is calling the champions to the front ::

Cedric and Cho were close to Harry too; he looked away from them so he 
wouldn't have to talk to them. His eyes fell instead on the girl next to Krum. *His 
jaw dropped*.

It was Hermione.

But she didn't look like Hermione at all. She had done something with her 
hair; it
was no longer bushy but sleek and shiny, and twisted up into an elegant knot 
at the
back of her head. She was wearing robes made of a floaty, periwinkle-blue
material, and she was holding herself differently, somehow - or maybe it was
merely the absence of the twenty or so books she usually had slung over her 
back.
She was also smiling - rather nervously, it was true - but the reduction in 
the size
of her front teeth was more noticeable than ever; Harry couldn't understand 
how
he hadn't spotted it before.::


Ummm what color dress robes was Ginny wearing?
