" Watch it. " Rain hissed, Fleur smirked at her through the vanity mirror, watching Rain hiss at the tug to her hair. " This boy better not be a sight for sore eyes, is he at least a keeper? " Rain snorted, rolling her eyes at Fleur. " You're talking to me like he's my boyfriend. " Fleur lifted her eyebrow. " Is he not? " She turned Rain's chair around to look at her directly in the eyes. " He's a friend, I don't know him well but he's a good friend. " Fleur wanted to ruffle her hair but held back that urge to avoid ruining her masterpiece. Hermione gagged from beside them, a girl name Amber was doing her curly hair but was close enough to hear their conversation. " He's definitely a fixer upper, a prat if you were to ask me. " Fleur looked at Hermione before back at Rain, letting go of her hair to place her hands on her hips. " Is he now? "

" He's nice to me. " She shrugged, avoiding eye contact from her best friend. " Leave the girl alone already, I'm sure my little girl has chosen the best date for her. " Her mum came waltzing into the carriage, tilting her head and crouching down to walk through the small door. " You look absolutely gorgeous, a real catch for those Hogwarts boys. "  Rain blushed but it was hidden by her makeup. " I brought a gift. " Her mother handed Fleur a velvet box, she took off the lid and her mouth parted at the gift inside. She leaned down to show Rain the gift who's eyes widened at the sight. " Mummy I can't take this. "

" You can and you will, this is your first ball and you have a date. "  Inside was an emerald hair pin that would easily match her gown. Fleur squealed, she carefully picked it up and softly slid it into Rain's hair.
" Now the dress! "

 " Now the dress! "

" You look absolutely gorgeous even when you're wearing the Slytherin colors, Draco's is a lucky guy. " She smiled though she felt out of place. This wasn't her scene, she never wore dresses or gussied up for a guy but now here she was, about to decend a staircase with a girl she hardly knew to find her date at the bottom. " And  Krum is a lucky guy, you look beautiful Hermione. Mind going down together? " She smiled, nodding her head. They both let out small breaths before turning the corner and decending the long staircase. They felt all eyes on them and watched as their dates stared at them with parted lips and widened eyes.

" They look beautiful. " Both girls smiled proudly as everyone in the room watched them decend the staircase. Draco stood at the bottom just a few feet away from Harry and Padama Patil, he himself look dashing with his blond hair slicked back and his dress robes hanging off his shoulders, he also looked at her with parted lips and widened eyes. Once the two reached the bottom Krum was the first to greet Hermione, he bowed his head and held out his arm for her to take. She did, glancing at Rain with a smile and following Krum towards the forming line of champions. Draco was just behind Krum, he gulped as he neared. He cleared his throat and approached her.

" You look, gorgeous. " He let a breath of relief once she smiled. " You don't look half bad as well Draco. " He held out his arm from her to take, her arm wrapped around his and held him close. " Rain. " They stopped in their place once Harry appeared, he too gulped at the sight of her and nervously shoved his hands in his pockets. " I just w-wanted to say you look stunning tonight. " Draco tightened his hold on her arm. " Flirt with your own date Potter. " She didn't have time to thank the Chosen one and was led towards the line of Champions. She mouthed a thank you to Harry and stood infront of Krum and Hermione, directly behind Fleur and her date. " That was rude. "

" He has a girl on his hip he can flirt with. " Music played and the doors to the great hall opened. Her hold on Draco tightened when she saw everyone's stares. They clapped happily for the five champions while they walked in a line towards the dance floor. Whispers echoed in the room once everyone saw the dates the champions had selected, Draco lifted his head proudly and smirked as his few friends watched from the sidelines.

They all scattered on the dance floor, Draco placed his hand on her hip while she took his other. The orchrestra echoed in the air, they began to waltz around the dance occasionally switching hand positions before he picked her up, twirled her around and set her back on the floor. This continued and one by one, others began to enter the dance floor. Professor Mcgonagall and Professor Dumbledore. Neville Longbottom and Ginny Weasley and other couples. She even smiled when Draco twirled her and she found Harry's friend Hagrid, asking her mother to dance.

Everyone was on the dance floor at this point, many of the other professors sat and watched and even paired up with one another. Her Dark Arts professor at Beauxbatons named Madeline Lemieux and confidently approached Hogwarts Potions professor Severus Snape with a hand held out.
Her and Draco were one of the first to leave the dance floor next to Ron and Parvati Patil. " Ron, w-wow you clean up nicely. " He groaned, trying to adjust his dress robes to cover his rather ugly outfit. " Don't even mention it Scarlett. " She smiled, trying to hide her laugh. Draco was still beside her and held her hand in his own, he chose to not say a thing, though he felt like doing so. " Stay still. "

" Multicorfors. " She flicked her finger back and forth, she didn't use her wand but her wandless magic that she hardly used in public. Ron's dress robes had began to shift and change colors, matching all the other boys in the room. His tense body relax and a small smile shifted onto his face once he saw his new outfit. " There, now go back on the dance floor! " His mood lightened and he took Parvati back on the dance floor, meeting up with Harry and Padama. " His robes were gastly. " The two laughed right in front of the buffet table of sweets and butterbeer. " Can I ask you something? " Rain hummed, taking a sip of punch.

" The wandless magic, how'd you learn it? " She licked her lips and softly set the drink beside her on a table covered in a black sheet and elegant table toppers. " I've ways known it, since I was a child. "

" Rainy. " They both turned their heads to Theo who not only was dashing in his dress robes but held his ring covered hand out in hopes for her to take. " I think you promised me a dance. " She looked at Draco and back at Theo. " I did, didn't I? Is that okay with you? " Draco gave her a firm nod and took some pastries off the dessert table. " Come on beautiful. "

He pulled her towards the dance floor, the orchestra was playing soft music that was a complete contrast to the opening song the champions waltzed to. He pulled her close, his hand was rested on her hip and her body basically hugged to his body. " You look stunning tonight Rainy. " He whispered  under the soft music. Her head was laid on his chest and they walzted comfortably to the music. Theo watched the way everyone stopped and stared from the sidelines, he smirked arrogantly at the sight. He didn't twirl her around but held her close to avoid disturbing her peace.

Theo's chest was warm and warmed her up from the close proximity. " Let me take you out after break, somewhere nice. " She tilted her head to look at up at Theo. " Really? Like on a date? "

Draco watched the two from afar, he sat at a nearby table with Blaise and Adrien along with their two dates. A girl from Ravenclaw and a Beauxbatons beauty. He took a sip from his drink and narrowed his eyes, ready to stand up. " I heard the bloke had a crush on her, a major one. " Draco looked over at Blaise, almost whipping his head around. " Just look at them, they look like a couple. " Draco clicked his tongue and stood up, he adjusted his robes and walked over to the dancing two. " Times up Nott. I'd like to dance with my date now. " He put an emphasis on 'date' Theo just softly pushed away, letting out a small sigh. " Think about it Rainy. "
