"But i've got thick skin and an electric heart, with your blood it might be too sharp. I'm like a rubber band until you pull to hard, yeah one snap and I'm over. But you won't see me fall apart, yeah you won't see my falling apart."

Belle stepped towards the small door forming at the end of the corridor. She could not hear anything coming from the inside, but judging by the time she knew the party was already jumping. The twins had a way, with getting everyone very... hyped shall we say, before even five minutes of the party had passed. It was a specialty, a talent that they were blessed with.
Belle reached for the knob of the door and swung it open. With taking a step in she stood up straight and stared in straight awe at the sight before her.
Fairy lights hung from the wood bar stall, which stood proudly at the front of the room, barstools scattered across the front.
Around the room, the roof held lanterns and drooping twinkling lights which people often twirled their fingers around in and gaped at. Their were burgundy couches and booths around the room, as well as a large wood dance floor that stood, raised, in the middle of the floor. A Large Music box stood glittering, at the end of the floor.
"We know it's-"
"Simply brilliant!" The twins said draping their arms around Belles shoulders.
"All thanks to three, young super talented, gorgeous party planners!" Fred said, giving her a wink, his hands scanned the room in front of Belles head.
"Yes, yes now come! Let's get a drink!" Belle said pushing the two cocky redheads toward the Bar with her hands.
—
Draco sat at a far booth in the corner of the room, Pansy was off dancing with God knows who and Blaise... He was going to get an orange juice to wash down the straight vodka he had 'Accidentally' chugged. Draco slowly lifted up his whiskey and let the drink burn his throat, yet take some stress and burdens away with it.
Draco sighed.
Suddenly he head a loud laugh, a laugh he recognised anywhere. One of his greatest enemies, yet he wished it was not that way, Belle Dercall. His heart made a funny swelling feeling.
"Annoying laugh." Draco muttered, though he did wish to hear more. He took a swig at his whiskey before lifting his stormy eyes to watch her again.
She flung her head back, as she laughed at a joke one of the Weasley Twins had told her. Draco thought they were quite funny lads, though he would never admit that. Ever.
Her eyes glimmered and her smile sent beacons of light through everyone around her.
It was contagious.
She stopped laughing for a minute and lifted a shot glass swiftly to her lips, before dropping it to the bar and letting the smile grace her lips again.
The whole time Draco had not realised he had been smiling to himself.
"Psychopath." Draco said to himself before turning his head back to his glass, and sadly his own thoughts.

Belle turned her head to look at the amazing room and the people inhabiting it. This was when she felt happy.
She turned around to look at the twins next to her who had began a discussion on their newest idea for a product for 'Weasleys Wizard Wheezes'.
"Dafties." Belle said before hitting them on the back of their heads, causing them both to dramatically jump forward and fake injury.
Belle scoffed. "Right you two! I am off to see yet another Annie wannabe, Harry and Hermione." Belle said and turned around before they could sneak a word in.
She spotted the three at a couch in the off-centre of the room. Harry and Ron on one couch and across from them, Belles bushy haired best friend.
"There you are!" Hermione exclaimed.
"You look hot 'Mione!" Belle said, looking at her friend. Hermione blushed and embraced her friend in a hug.
"You look better!" She whispered. Belle laughed in her ear, "Nonsense.".
Hermione wore a pink dress that came to just past her knees, it had long sleeves and a square neckline. It hugged her curves and her hair lay in neat curls over her shoulder.
"I-" Harry began but soon decided to stop after Belle lifted her hand to to his face.
"You two don't look to bad either!" she said, earning a small smile from both of the boys.
—
"So Harry and Hermione will come and you?"
"Ron you know your Mum is like the best person, as long as it is okay with her! Then I would love nothing more than to come for Christmas!"
"Brilliant! She loves you more than Fred and George its fine!" Ron gushed.
The four laughed and chatted for a while before being rudely interrupted.
"Making plans for Christmas are we Dercall? Aw, I know I heard poor Mumsy could hardly hold on any longer!" Cormac McLaggen.
Cormac knew everything about her situation, as her father had been close friends with his since childhood and told him everything. Though, McLaggen only used this information to haunt her and not help, her his Father had been slightly different. He was a kind man, his wife was were Cormac got his personality from though. Rude, selfish, Mean.
Hermione grabbed her best friends arm as Belle tried to launch herself at the boy.
He jumped back and his face flooded with fear. He laughed nervously and glared at her before turning to Hermione and gave her a wink.
"Send your dear Father my best wishes." Cormac mocked.
Harry and Ron both jumped up and walked towards the man.
Hermione let go of Belle and she walked up to him. Belle looked him dead in the eyes. "Do you
know what happens to a ugly prick when a Doc Martin steps on it?"
McLaggen gulped.
"You better run before you find out..." without realising it, Belle had gripped into Cormac's collar and lifted him close to her face. She clenched her jaw and swiftly pushed him to the ground.
He lay sprawled on the ground, looking up at her with fear before getting up and quickly walked/ran out the room.
All eyes were on Belle, the room was also silent. It had been since Belle had lifted herself off the couch.
"WHOOP!" Blaise Zabini yelled and Hermione patted her friend on the shoulder. The two girls returned to the couch and Belle took a cold shot whilst the musics volume again gradually got louder.
-
"I think I am gonna go get some air!" Belle said to Hermione over the music.
Hermione nodded and signalled between the two.
"No i'll go alone!" Belle said and turned around to head for the door.
—
Draco was amazed at the girls actions earlier, McLaggen got what he deserved.
Draco watched as Belle got up from her seat and headed out the Room of Requirements.
A minute or two later, she had not returned so Draco abruptly stood up and told Blaise he was going to take a stroll and left the room.
He opened the door and stepped out of the room, letting the cooler air wash over him and best of all. Silence.
The Slytherin made his way around the corner to see a dark haired girl sitting on the steps.
Not crying, nor laughing, just simply staring at the wall. A hurt look on her face. This made Draco's heart beat a little faster and he stepped back around, into the cover of the large cobble wall away from the stairs. He sunk down into the floor and grabbed a small bit of parchment and a quill out of his pocket.
He had an idea.
—
Belle sat on the stairs. The walls suddenly became quite interesting.
She could not cry anymore, as she was numb. Her tears would not fall out of her eyes anymore and her heart would not ache for any feelings.
Yes, Happiness would come sometimes. Though, it would not last.
Belle jumped back in pure fright as a paper... dragon? Came soaring towards her.
Her night just got a lot more confusing.
The paper creature flapped its wings and circled her head.
Belle smiled and followed it as it flew gracefully and peacefully throughout the air.
It gave her a sense of, calmness.
The dragon landed in her lap and opened up to reveal four words.
'You will be alright."
Belle watched as a single tear drop fell onto the paper. Whoever sent this, they understood her and they even... cared?
—
"Sometimes it is not those closest to us, who can make the greatest impact on ones life and everlasting happiness...A simple stranger is what the heart desires."
