Just a Mud-blood -D.M

The Yule Ball

I was at the astronomy tower alone looking down at the students heading to hogsmeade to
Some coming back with their dresses and girls in groups laughing with each other

3 hours until the ball and I was probably sitting in my dorm watching a movie with Draco, maybe I should tell him, no, it was to late anyway

I pushed myself up from the railing and started walking back to the common room
I made it to the common room and it was empty it was weird it's never empty
I headed up to my room

And tried to open the door and noticed it was locked
"Uh Astoria? Pansy? Why is the door locked"
I say " uh we just need a moment" one of them said
It sounded like someone fell " uhh is everything alright" I try the knob again

No answer

" I'm using my wand" I say " no no no" pansy rushes and says " just come back a little later" she said
" uh ok" I say
I walk down the stairs and into the common room and I see Blaise run across to the girls dormitories " uh Blaise" I say

He puts his hands behind his back and turns to me
" what have you got there" I say gesturing to his hands " nothing important" he says

" uh ok... do you want to hang out Astoria and pansy are being weird"
" uh I can't I have to uh do something" he says
" well have you seen Draco?"
" uh... no sorry".
" ok well I'll see you later I guess"
" yes ok we.."
He ran off towards the girls dormitories before I finished my sentence
I made my way down the stairs and head out the dungeon

I ran into Fred in my way to the library "hey gorgeous, why are you out here alone" he says
" my friends and boyfriend are avoiding me apparently" I say closing my book
" why aren't you getting ready for the ball?" He asks " not going, Draco thinks it stupid"

" some boyfriend" he says " ok then why are you not getting ready for the dance" I say " I don't need quite as long to get ready as girls do"
" Funny aren't you Weasley" I say
Fred and I joked around some more before we were interrupted

" what are you doing in the library" I heard a familiar voice " I guess that my cue, I'll see you later" he says
Draco and Fred glared at each other as he exited the library
Draco sat in the chair next to me " you alright darling" he said putting a loose strand of hair behind my ear " yea"
" what was he talking about" he said
" nothing just the ball" I say. " come on I want to show you something" he says grabbing my hand

Every since I've started dating Draco I've stopped asking questions because he never answers them anyway
"Who do you think hermione is going with ive never gotten the chance to ask her"
" Granger? Having a date" he scoffed
I playfully smack his arm

We head up to the dungeon through the common room and to my dormitory " what are we doing here?"
" one second stay here" he says
I nod
He opens the door and walks in and closes the door

What are you playing at Draco Malfoy

He opens the door and I see the floor flooded in rose petals
Candles surrounding them in a pattern to my bed and then the dress I saw on the shop at hogsmeade
" um... hermione said you would like this and uhh well..."
" I love it" I say stepping towards him " really? Well uh this is me asking you to ball"
" wait really?"
Draco
I watched as her face lit up
I felt even more horrible for not thinking about it before
