As I turned around I saw that Draco was staring at me.

"Why are you staring at me?" I asked curiously.

"It's just because of your hair" Draco replied.

"Is it that special?" I asked again.

Draco wasn't answering he just starred at the ground.

"Hello?"

"Draco?"

"could you stop ignoring me? I asked, but he didn't respond to me.

I stepped on his foot to get his attention.

"Screw you! They are new and are more worth than your whole outfit!" Draco shrieked disgruntled.

"Don't think so, Mr Malfoy" I replied.

"My parents are billionaires" he showed off.

"Not only your parents"

"I know, me myself is also a billionaire"

"pipe down, I meant my family"

"I'm prettier"

"yeah, no"

"at least I have a special hair colour"

"it's basically just white"

"fuck up, wanna dance?", Draco asked.

"You are unbelievable, but yes" I rolled my eyes and we started to dance. At least I won the fight.

We were dancing a few minutes silently. If I was honest I didn't enjoy this. We did everything perfectly, but it just didn't feel right.
It would be a lie if someone would say that we couldn't dance. Maybe we were even one of the best dancers that night, but what did you expect we danced our whole life together, but it still felt bizarre to me to dance with Draco. It was an odd romantic tension between us which I didn't like. I felt very uncomfortable.

"Don't you think it's odd that we are dancing right now together? We are I don't know like siblings" I broke the silence.

"That would be disgusting" said Draco.

"Yeah, Draco, I also don't like you" I actually liked him, but he was so annoying.

We stopped talking again for a few minutes. I was really unhappy that night. And I really didn't enjoy dancing with Draco. It was just too romantic and I didn't want any romance between us. Maybe I just should have left. Suddenly my foot buckled.

"Ouch!"

"Are you alright?" he asked apprehensively.

"Yes, don't worry. Ugh, I hate Mariana for forcing me to wear these shoes" I moaned.

"You are always wearing high heels" said Draco perplexed.

"My usual shoes are no high heels. The heels are not even an inch high" I answered.

"Oh" Draco responded.

"I hate those shoes anyway" complained Draco.

"They make you taller than me and that is embarrassing. I'm supposed to be the taller one"

"Great, again someone who's complaining about my height" I complained.

"Who is complaining about your height?" asked Draco.

"You, some girls, my whole family, Ron and everyone else. Mariana and Valentina (my grandmother) are the worst they're calling me too boyish" it really hurt me that everyone was complaining about my height, exceptionally because I kinda liked my height and all the models were even taller than me and they were all so glamorous.

A while later we were dancing in a corner. I could see Harry from there perfectly. I was upset. I didn't enjoy this evening and I wished I could be there with Harry. I would have felt better around him and seeing him just sitting there made me even sadder. If he would have asked me he would have had fun. And talking about my mother ruined my night. I knew that she's actually warm-hearted, but she's so cold to me and I'm her daughter. There were so many things I loved, like my obsession with Michael Jackson. He was such a talented artist, but if she would have ever found out that I listened to music from a muggle she would have killed me And I dreamed about this night so often and then I was there with Draco. He was my best friend and it was better with him instead of a stranger, but he was not Harry James Potter. I was starring at Harry all the time and Draco could see my sad face.

"Why are you looking at him all the time and why are you even crying about him?" asked Draco curiously.

"First off, I'm not crying, second off, who do you mean?"

"Harry. You are looking at him all the time. Are you really sad because he's the wonderful Harry Potter?"

"I'm not sad because he's the wonderful Harry Potter I'm sad because I love him. I thought Harry and I were going to the ball, but no, now I'm here with you" we stopped dancing and we were standing opposite each other.

"That hurt my feelings"

"Oh, shut up, I have other problems than your feelings"

"You don't need him" said Draco.

"But I want him" I replied.

"You'll find someone better"

"But I do not want someone better"

"you can live without him"

"could you stop trying to convince me to stop loving him? I'm not happy to talk with you about Harry" I said to stop the argument.

"But it also cheers me up" I added.

I stepped a little closer to Draco and he hugged me. The hug was very loving and long. It was the most intensive hug Draco and I ever had. It felt so good to me to know that someone would always be there for me. I knew that Draco and I often fought and that he always acted emotionless, but I knew that I meant a lot to him. Draco stopped the hug and we both were only one inch apart from each other. Draco looked for a second again at my face, and then he suddenly kissed me. The kiss was short and only from one side, Draco's side. I could have killed him. I told him that I was upset because I was in love with Harry and he just kissed me. I was so mad and I never wanted some romance between us and then there was the romance, right between us. This was definitely the worst night in my whole life.

I stepped two steps backwards to stop the kiss.

"Are you kidding me?!" I was furious.

"You know that I love you" he replied.

"No, I did not know that! I just told you that I love Harry and you kissed me? You are insane!" I walked angrily away out of the great hall, away from Drama.
