Her Eyes || Draco Malfoy

31

"The yule ball" Snape started, walking infront of the entire house which was split into two groups, the boys on one side and the girls on the other.

I sat inbetween Ivy and Ruby with Pansy standing behind me, her arms wrapped around me protectively as I noticed her looking forward, directly at the blonde who wasn't even paying attention to us.

"A dance, held on Christmas eve had been a tradition of the triwizard tournament since its inception" he continued, his eyes not meeting anyones in particular, they didn't even look over when the slytherin girls around me started squealing.

I tried my best to ignore Ivy, Ruby and Pansy all teasing me about how almost instantly after the words left Snape's mouth Draco's eyes were locked on me, a mischievous smile on his lips as he said something to Theo who sat beside him.

Behind me, Pansy played with my hair while she hummed quietly, ignoring everything that was being said by the professor till he called her name.

"Ms Parkinson" he said slowly, noticing that she wasn't paying attention, she dropped her hand and stopped what she was doing "you and Mr. Nott, step forward" he said and I watched the soul leave Theo's body as he said it.

I watched as they join Professor Snape infront of the house, forcing them to join hands and Ruby, Ivy and I attempted to not laugh as Pansy looked like she wanted to die.

"Place your hand on her waist" The professor ordered and Theo looked over giving him an expression of disbelief "You want me to put my hand where?!" He exclaimed and I found it almost impossible not to laugh as two of my best friends were forced to dance infront of the entire class.

"Her waist, Mr. Nott" Snape hissed forcing Theo's hand onto Pansy's waist as she looked over mouthing the words 'help me' making me chuckle lowly.

I pulled Ruby and Ivy in "we are never letting her forget this" I told them when a loud whistle, no doubt coming from Draco erupted from the group of boys directly infront of us.

Pansy shot a glare over to the boys, while Snape told them what to do with their feet, how the waltz is supposed to go.

I crossed my arms and watched in amusement, knowing she would probably complain about this later tonight.

"Everyone come together and find a partner" Snape ordered and we all stood up, it took a moment for anyone to actually more forward, I watched Blaise nudging Draco by his shoulder which caused him to stumble forward.

It wasn't a suprise that he walked over to me, placing his hand out, shooting me a wink in the process making me shake my head in amusement.

And I wonder what I see in him.

I placed my hand in his before he could say anything, letting him pull me to the center of the room with the other members of the slytherin house.

His hand fell gently onto my waist while mine landed onto his shoulder. I looked a little confused, unsure of what to do and he picked up on this.

"You look a little lost" he chuckled as I stumbled awkward over my feet trying to keep up with him, obviously he had done this before seeing how perfect he was at this.

I looked at him with an awkward smile before realizing how close our faces were, leaning back a little bit I sighed "I've never danced before" I mumbled before tripping over my own feet causing Draco to fully wrap his arm around my waist so I didn't fall.

He chuckled, moving his hand back to place before smiling stupidly at me "just, follow my lead I'll teach you" he told me as he told me where to move my feet, smiling up at him everytime he squeezed my hand.

It took a bit for me to get it I eventually did, that was until I lost my footing and fell into him slightly causing both of us to laugh silently.

I wondered if we'd end up going together to the yule ball, I don't see why we wouldn't.

The question is; was he going to ask me or was he going assume we were going together.
