15 - Ball

The night after patrol was tiring mentally and physically Draco wouldn't stop about give 'us' a try. He wants to be a total asshole then say to get together - absolutely not. I can't even trust my own shadow what makes him think i will put all my faith in him. He deserves someone who will actually love him back. He's a total cunt but he needs guidance and i can't give him that i would just sink him with me into my ocean of darkness. He's a boy - a boy with no choice and needs someone to show him he has one. I'm not that person because i myself don't have a choice. I'm being formed to me like my father when him and Leo pass away i will take over i will become the dark queen.

The ball doesn't seem like a good idea anymore i hated my birthdays i would usually look at the stars since that day most of them shined the brightest. I couldn't let down Theo after all, all he wants is to help me. I'm completely unfixable but i appreciate him trying. He's been coming to my dorm for the past week at exactly 8 in the afternoon to practice our dancing. He wouldn't stop until we had every step down with no mistakes.

Today was finally the ball and my birthday. I looked at myself in the mirror my eyes backs were darker than ever. I held a lighter in my hand with the match on " Happy birthday Cassiopeia" I whispered to myself and blew out the fire creating a small ring of smoke. The rain hit my window hard but i didn't mind i liked the rain. It was peaceful and made me relax. I sat in front of the window looking out the window completely numb. My mind completely blank all my focus was on was the sound of the rain.

" Cassiopeia the ball starts in an hour and look at you have long have you been there" I heard Pansy's voice but i just shrugged. To hell with the damm ball everyone was there to judge each other and show off their dates who they would probably never talk to again.

" Come on Theo would go absolutely ballistic if he saw you weren't getting ready that bloke has been getting ready for 5 hours not even Blaise or Draco who are the most high maintenance" She threw me my dress to the bed and ushered me to sit down on the chair where she would get me ready. She already had her makeup and hair down she looked beautiful. Pansy had a natural beauty inside and out. She was an intimidating girl at first site she knew how to respect herself. She knew her place and superiority. She had very little makeup she looked always as if she didn't have any but closely you could see the small amount of blush and mascara she added along with some gold on her eyelid.

She did the same to me expect adding more under my eyes to cover my bags. My hair was nothing drastic since she said that natural beauty attracted more. She shoved the dress into my hands and happily told me to go get changed. I slipped the dress on and it was absolutely beautiful. Narcissa always had good taste when it came to fashion. Nothing compared to her sister Bella she wore black religiously. Black was only mandatory for meeting but she took it seriously.

I grabbed some heels that Cissa had also gifted me and added some jewelry to complete the look. " You look absolutely stunning" Pansy complemented me as she gave me a hug when i was taken back but hugged her slightly with small pats on the back. " Theo is one lucking man" She said as we headed out the door " We are only going as friends" She nodded and continued walked down the dormitory where the boys were at. Pansy had mentioned me on the way that she was going with Damon who i slightly cringed on but then saw how her face lit up when she spoke about him. He better not even think of doing one wrong move on her this time he won't just be laying on a corridor floor half alive but he will be in his grave 6 feet under dead.

" Ah look at my date beautiful as always lord bless Cissa for the dress i would bail on you if you had to wear one of the gowns Zabini brought" He shuttered at the memory of those horrendous dresses which earned him a nudge on the rib from Blaise. He had said he was going with Ginny Weasley we were all shocked he was very into the prejudice pure blood supremacy and the Weasley's were pure bloods but they were always excluded since they were blood 'traitors'
