Chapter 12- Dancing Lessons

"Are you nervous?"

"No!"

"You seem nervous."

"Well I'm not!" Draco shakes his head at my lie and takes my hands in his.

"We are only doing this one more time before the ball. If you need any extra help talk to me after class." Professor McGonagall tells the dancing class. For some reason she wants to torture us and make us only practice with the people in our house. Which ment that Draco swooped in the first chance he got.

"You look pretty today." He says, looking into my eyes.

"I look like this every day." I say.

"Yeah." I roll my eyes and he smiles.

"Gently lift your female partner by her waist and keep turning!" McGonagall yells clapping on beat. Draco takes my waist and does what she says, as well as the rest of the class.

"Are you exited for the ball?" Draco lowers his voice.

"I don't know, I have never been to one."

"What about muggle balls?"

"We call them school dances and they are held in the same place they make us workout. Plus the music is garbage."

"That sounds horrid." Draco tries not to laugh.

"It is." We both start giggling.

"Shush you two!" McGonagall snaps at us.

...

After dance practice I go up to my dorm and get my dress. Still sealed in a large bag, sipped up. As I walk down to the common room I hear Blaise.

"What's in there? A dead body?"

"Yes. A very, very flat dead body."

"Wicked."

I walk out of the Dungeons and head up to be the Gryffindor common room. Ginny decided she wanted to meet up with Luna, Hermione and I and try on our dresses and talk. Ginny and Luna got quite close this year and I'm exited to finally hang out with her. I start walking up the stairs dreading having to bicker with that bloody painting. Luckily, Neville walks up to the door and holds it open for me.

"Thanks Neville!" He nods and waves. I walk into the room and George runs over to me.

"Y/n! The girls are up there right now." He points up the stairs.

"Can I please see you in your outfit?" He stares at me.

"No! It's a surprise!" I say.

"You're just putting on a dress, it's not like you're going to have a transformation or anything." Fred says, sitting on the couch.

"You can tell yourself that all you want but the moment I put on some frills you'll be in love." George starts laughing and Fred scoffs. I run up to the girls dorm and I see Luna, Ginny and Hermione getting ready to pull their dresses out of their own sealed bags.

"Hey, y/n. Are you ready for the big reveal?" Ginny says and I nod.

I pull out my dress and they gasp. I smile as I hold up the dress, with a lace bustier top and a long skirt.

"I wanted a different color but of course Draco insisted on emerald green." Ginny un-sips her bag and pulls out a short blue dress with golden flowers embellished all over.
