The Pieces of My Love

Enchanted

A/N- the dress mentioned in the chapter is the one above

     I woke up laying diagonally across my bed, to pecking on my dorm room window. I lifted my head to look toward the window, the light blinding me. There was my snowy owl, with a letter in her mouth, pecking rapidly. I walked towards the window while rubbing my tired eyes. The cool air from the outside blew in, and the letter was dropped onto the floor. The first thing I noticed was the Malfoy family seal on the back of the letter, I didn't expect a response so soon.

Dearest y/n,
Thank you so much for the gift, I absolutely love it. Was that what you were working on in the astronomy Tower the other night? Anyways, Paris was fun, although father was busy with work most of the time. I have a surprise for you later, don't worry it's not bad. I hope you're doing well, I will see you soon.
Yours,
D.M

     Now what in the hell did he mean by that? Draco and surprise in the same context sounds really suspicious. I woke up fairly late, so it was already time for lunch, and I had no idea when the letter arrived. I threw my hair up into a messy bun, securing it with a claw clip. I didn't bother to change out of the leggings and Slytherin sweatshirt I woke to bed the night prior. My stomach grumbled with hunger as I walked down the corridor to the great hall. I was hungrier than a hippogriff.
     Finally, I arrived at the hall and sat down in my usual spot. I grabbed a chicken wrap from one of the many plates in front of me. After pouring myself some water, I started eating.
     "That good, is it dummy?" A familiar voice laughed. I looked up, and there sitting in his usual seat, is Draco Malfoy.
     "Draco! What are you doing here? You scared me half to death." I rambled, taking another bite.
     "Could you quit stuffing your face for one moment? I told you, I have a surprise, come with me" He responded smugly standing up, motioning me to come with him. I put down my delicious wrap, and followed him out into the corridor. He took my hand and next thing I knew, I felt like I was going to throw up. I looked around and noticed, we weren't at Hogwarts anymore.
     "Where are we? And why the hell do I feel so awful?" I managed to spit out.
      "Well for one, we are at Malfoy manner, two it's because we apperated. I couldn't imagine not having you here for the ball, so I had my father pull some strings, and well, now you are here." Draco explained in a matter of fact tone.
"Draco you shouldn't have," I trailed off. I looked around the room that I was in, it was quite grand to be completely honest. I had never seen anything so nice in my life.
"Anyways, this is going to be your room till the end of break. Your clothes are in the closet, the Ball starts at 3, it's 1:30 now. I'll come get you then." Draco announces and then promptly leaves the room.
     I walk over the the large double doored closet, pulling it open to find a beautiful green ball gown in my size. It was so fluffy and gorgeous I could have cried. It was perfect. I set the dress down on the bed and walked over to the vanity stool and sat down. There was a variety of expensive makeup laid out, all for me. I figured I would start with my makeup, doing a more natural but Smokey eye look. I braided my hair into a crowned bun, I figured a more elegant look would probably be best for my first time at a ball. I looked at the clock, it was 2:40ish, so I decided to put on my dress. It fit snugly and I felt like a princess. I had never worn anything this nice before, when I looked in the mirror I couldn't help but smile. I put on plain black heels and was touching up my lipstick when there was a knock on the door.
     "Come on y/n, don't make us late-" Draco started as I opened the door. His jaw had basically dropped to the floor. "I uh, you look beautiful y/n... are you ready?" Draco stuttered, extending his arm for me to take. In response, I took his arm and we walked down to the ballroom together.

Draco's POV
     I finished getting ready, fixing my emerald green tie one last time before leaving the room. I hope y/n likes the dress I picked out for the ball, when I saw it I instantly thought of her. I walked down the long hallway to the guest rooms, and stood outside the door for a moment. I felt...nervous? She was my friend, that's it, why would I feel nervous. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door, looking down at my watch to check the time.
  "Come on y/n, don't make us late-" I called as she opened the door. My heart partially stopped, she looked stunning.
     "I uh, you look beautiful y/n... are you ready?" I managed to say, while extending my arm for her to take. She smiled at me taking my arm as I guided our way to the ballroom. My mind was racing, not only did she look amazing, but she was about to meet my mother and father. I am sure she is going to make a good impression, but I hope father isn't judgement.

~Time Skip~
   
     I introduced y/n to my parents, and my mother loved her. My father seemed pretty pleased as well, which was a nice surprise. People started to arrive, and father started his introduction speech. Every year it's the same thing about how "grateful" he is to everyone and the ministry, as well as wishing everyone happy holidays.  After his speech was over, the music began.
     "Y/n, would you like to dance with me?" I asked, hoping she would say yes.
     "Yes, I would" she responded as we walked to the dance floor. I put my hands on her waist as we began to dance. She was so graceful, and the dress complimented her body as she danced. It felt as though we were gliding across the room. As the song ended, she curtsied and smiled, then we walked over to see Pansy and Blaise
     "Y/N! You look absolutely stunning! Did you do this all by yourself? I've taught you so well!" Pansy squealed I'm excitement.
     "Thank you Pansy, yeah I did it on my own, you look gorgeous as well" y/n responded, her voice filled with joy.
     Pansy was wearing a simple red layered dress, with silver heels. As Y/n and Pansy continued to talk, Blaise pulled me into the hallway.
     "Draco, I need you to be honest ok?" Blaise stated looking at me seriously.
     "Ok, sure, what is it?" I responded nervously.
     "Do you like Y/n, I see the way you have been looking at her tonight. You know you can trust me mate." Blaise said, smirking at my flushed face.
     "I'll be honest Blaise, I didn't think I was a first, but I think I may be falling for her."

A/N- I am so sorry it took so long to post, I got really busy and have had a lot going on. Hopefully you enjoy the chapter <3
