<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

You walked along the hallway, planning on getting to your dorm to put away your Charms books, and head to Care for Magical Creatures.

"Y/n!" a voice calls. You turn to see Dean Thomas jogging down the hall. You smile as he approaches.

"Hey Dean," you smile. He blushes a bit, running a hand over his head. He seems a little nervous.

"Is something wrong?" you ask. Dean takes a deep breath.

"Would you go to the Yule Ball with me?" he asks quite loudly. A few nearby people stop to watch the scene unfold. You feel your cheeks burn red.

It's not like you didn't like Dean... you just liked someone else. You actually catch a glimpse of the platinum-blonde boy watching you two. You had liked Draco since first year. Sure, he was mean to everyone, but he was quite nice to you and you had no idea why. Oh, and those eyes of his, his eyes were beautiful, like mini thunderstorms.

"I um... " you stutter. You really didn't want to hurt Dean's feelings, but you didn't exactly want to go with him either.

"I-I... I'm sorry Dean I'm really flatter but... I like someone else," you say, dropping your voice to a whisper so just you and him can hear. Dean's face drops slightly, before giving you a small smile.

"No, it's okay, I get it. Thank you for being honest," he says with a small smile. You give a short nod, watching him walk off. You heave a sigh, just wishing Draco would ask you to the ball... or for you to get some guts and ask him yourself.

~Draco's POV~
I watch as Y/n turns down the hall, out of my sight. I knew Dean was asking her to the ball - I'd known for two weeks now. I would've said something, would've asked her first, but gosh. I was too nervous.

Don't get me wrong, I don't get scared easily, or get nervous, but something about her just made me feel that way. Was it because she wasn't in the same house as me and a Slytherin dating a y/h? Pfft. No one would support it and she would get bullied endlessly.

And of course she didn't like me, why would she? I heard her friends talk about me, and her being friends with Pottah? He'd never allow it.

But I watch her walk back my way, and my heart flutters and I can't take it anymore. I push myself off the wall, and amble up to her.

~Your POV~
You are still flustered by Dean's ask, feeling horrible.

You can't think about it too much though, cause someone grabs your wrist and pulls you behind a wall.

"Ack!" you cry, ripping your hand away, and looking to see it was Draco. What was he doing? Your heart pounded, as you tried to avoid those mesmerizing eyes of his.

"Hey," Draco says quietly, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Hi?" you say, and he chuckles a bit.

"How are you?" he asks. You shrug.
