It was free period. It has been three weeks
since you got attacked by Crabbe. Since your last talk with Draco you haven’t
spoken to him. The ball was tomorrow and you still hadn’t got a date. You
didn’t really bother, you’d go anyways, but it was nicer to have a date though.
Otherwise you’d be so.. well alone. You were reading a book in the common room
when someone sat besides you on the couch. It was Ryan, Quidditch player.
“Hi Mon!”
“Hi Ryan.”
“Look, I know this is a bit late. But do you want to go to the ball with me?” You narrowed your eyes a bit, thinking about it. You weren’t alone then, and you could annoy Draco, he has never liked Ryan.
“Yeah sure, why not?”
“Great!” And you two stayed there talking for
hours until it was time for dinner. You got to the Great Hall together and you
two split up. But before you did, you walked passed Draco. He was very mad and
stared at you and Ryan the whole time. When you walked to Anne and Blaise you
laughed.
“What’s so funny?” Blaise asked.
“Draco.”
“Oh, really. What about him?”
“I was walking with Ryan passed him and he got mad and all. Funny.”
“What can I say? He likes you.”
“Yeah, yeah, we already know that. But he had to be such a stupid prick and spoil it. Oh by the way, Ryan is my date for tomorrow!”
“Really? That’s great! I’m so excited! We’re going to look so beautiful and..” Anne kept talking and you and Blaise laughed at each other.
“MONA!! COME ON!! WE HAVE TO GET READY!!!!!”
She stood on the top of the stairs and screamed down at you. All girls were
getting ready for the ball. So were the guys actually. You smiled and got to
your dorm.The three girls with whom you shared your dorm were getting ready in
the dorms of their friends, so Anne and you had the whole room for yourself. You
did your make-up and your hair. Your dress was silver and black and Anne’s was
white. Your hair was curled and you let it hang down. Ofcourse you looked
beautiful. Anne and you got to the door of your dorm. By now people were
already in the Great Hall. You were walking down the stairs where Blaise and
Ryan were waiting for you. Blaise gasped when he saw Anne and he was
speechless. Ryan on the other hand didn’t seem so impressed by your beauty...
“You look beautiful.” Smiling you said. “Thanks, you look nice too.” Together you walked to the Great Hall. When you walked down the stairs, you saw Draco waiting. He looked up at you and his eyes widened. You couldn’t help it but you just had to smirk. According to the lookon his face, he was very very jealous. In the Great Hall Dumbledore said
something.
“Ladies and gentlemen! You look beautiful tonight! Please let this night be one to remember! Have a nice evening! And now, dance!” A slow song came up and you had to dance the way you had been taught to dance. So Ryan put one hand on your waist and you put yours on his shoulder. With the other you hold each other. You were just enjoying the moment when you heard someone other than Ryan talking.
“Could I dance with her now?” It was Draco.
“Yeah, sure.” You stood there shocked, Ryan knew that you hated Draco, why would he say yes?! You tried to walk away but you didn’t have a chance cause Draco took your hand and hold you close to him.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
“Just shut up and dance.” You pushed him off of you.
“NO! Leave me alone!!”
“No, I won’t. I can’t.” You didn’t understand. What did he mean with that?
“Yes, you can!”
“No, I can’t. I-I.. Mon, I like you.” You could’ve slapped yourself right now. When he said that you felt your stomache tingle. But you couldn’t like him.
“No, you don’t.” It came out very slowly and when you said it, you turned around and walked away. You tried to find Ryan, he had some explenation to do.
