It was the night of the fall dance

Daphne and I stood in front of her large mirror studying our reflections.

I was wearing my beautiful emerald green dress with silver details on it. The dress hugged my form and I looked extremely good. My brown hair was down in waves and I was wearing my usual makeup look, just some mascara and lipgloss because I didn't actually need makeup. I was naturally beautiful. I was wearing black heels. Daphne had been arguing with me for 3 hours, she won and made me wear heels instead of my white sneakers.

I had a beautiful diamond necklace that I got from my mother when I turned 13 on. I also had my engagement ring on, I wanted to take it off but my parents would've known. And Daphne said that the ring was beautiful and that it matched my dress. I also had diamond earrings that matched my necklace.

Daphne was wearing her beautiful pink dress that had different shades of pink, baby pink to hot pink. Her dress hugged her form and it was strapless. She looked beautiful. Her blonde hair was straightened and she had a beautiful makeup look on. Her eyelashes were curled up and she had a beautiful hot pink shade on her eyelids, matching the dress. The pink showed off her beautiful blue eyes.

I was going with Draco to the dance-

I was seated in the common room on one of the couches in front of the open fire, reading a muggle book, Romeo and Juliet.

The dance was tomorrow and I had been rejecting everyone since I was waiting for Draco to ask me. But he had been ignoring me for the whole week so why would he ask me.

I felt someone take a seat beside me, I shifted my gaze from the book and looked up at the person meeting a pair of beautiful grey eyes.

"I'm sorry-" he said and looked down at his hand when he saw that I was looking at him "-I'm truly sorry Belle"

"Why-?" I asked him "Draco, why have you been ignoring me?"

"I-I don't know," Draco said looking up at me, meeting my eyes "I'm sorry"

"It's okay.."

"What?"

"It's okay, I don't want to fight with you, I don't want to mess up things with you. Let's start over and let's not fight and ignore each other, okay?" I looked at him and he nodded

"Are you going with someone to the dance?" he asked me after a minute of silence "no, i'm not"

"why?"

"Because I've been rejecting everyone that asked me" I said, looking back down at the book

"wh-"

"Because-!" I took a deep breath "Because I've been waiting for you to ask me!"

He looked down at his hand and started playing with the ring on his hand, he was nervous. He gulped and took a deep breath before answering

"Will you go with me to the dance?" he asked me

I looked at him and smiled, he was still playing with his ring, seated beside me. I placed my hand over his, calming him down "yes, Draco, I would love to"

Daphne took my hand and we walked out from her dorm, into the common room. First years to third years were sitting in the common room playing boring games since they were too young to attend the dance.

Daphne and I walked through the cold corridors on our way to the great hall.

The moment we reach the stairs to the great halls entrance I start to feel nervous. Daphne gave me a kiss on the cheek, telling me I look stunning, before walking down the stairs meeting her date, Adrian Pucey.
