Draco Malfoy

The Yule Ball 2

The slow dance was over, and the band started to play some rock n roll music, which I absolutely loved! Draco looked behind me and frowned. "Here comes Pansy, I'm going to have to deal with her, I'll be back in a minute." He said before he left.

I walked over to Harry and Ron, who were sitting alone, looking all pitiful. "Hey boys, why aren't you guys dancing?" I asked as I looked towards their dates. "We don't feel like it." I sighed and grabbed Harry and Ron's hands, pulling them out of their chairs. "Come on! Let's dance." I said as I started to dance to the music. I twirled around and watched the skirt of my dress flare out. I giggled and looked back at the boys who had just stood there and watched me. "Oh, come on!"

I grabbed Harry's hands and moved him around to the beat of the music, and then did the same to Ron. "Dance like you mean it!" When I twirled again, I started to float and looked to see Hermione with her wand out. "Hey, sis!" I said as she put me back down.

She looked so happy as he had Victor standing behind her. I looked over twords Ron and saw pure jealously in his eyes. "Oh, lighten up, Ron, you can dance with me!" I said as I grabbed his hand and twirled him around. Harry and Hermione laughed as Ron had an embarrassed smile on his face.

Draco walked up to us and laughed at Ron before grabbing my hand and smiling. "Care to dance again, Granger?" I giggled and nodded before he took me to the crowd. I grabbed both of his hands and started to dance around with him. "I never got to tell you about how handsome I think you look tonight." I said. "You look even better than me." He said, smiling." I really saw him not smiling when he was with me, which made me feel extremely happy. "Thank you."

I looked over towards Hermione and saw she arguing with Ron, and she looked like she was about to cry. "Draco, do you mind? My sister looks upset." He looked over towards her with a disgusted look before looking back at me. "Go ahead." He said and let me go. I rushed off after Hermione, Harry, and Ron to see them heading out of the Great Hall. They were walking up the stairs with Hermione yelling at Ron behind them. "You spoiled everything!" She yelled before sitting on the steps and bursting into tears.

"Hey, what's wrong." I asked as I hugged her. "Ron ruined the entire dance!" Hermione said as she wiped her tears. "Hermione, why do you worry so much about him? You know you just went to the Yule Ball with the guy that all the girls want, and you didn't even have to try." She smiled and laughed a little. "Do you know how many girls are jealous of you, Ron didn't even get to dance because he was sulking the entire time." She started laughing before she hugged me. "You're right, I shouldn't be so focused on him."

The next day, I was walking down the hall and ran into Harry. "Hey, Harry." I said as he looked extremely happy. "Hey Grace, I wanted to ask you a question." I smiled and nodded. "Go ahead, Potter." He had a big smile on his face before asking me the question. "I was wondering if you wanted to go to the Prefects' bathroom with me later today." I gave him a shocked look as he said bathroom. "A bathroom?" His face went a little red. "It's a special bathroom. You would have to see it, and we can wear bathing suits." He said. "Okay, sure, I go with you."

Harry and I got into our swimsuit and put our robes over it before we snuck into the Prefects' bathroom. I was immediately amazed when I saw it. There was even a diving board at the end of the bath. "Woah." I said as I walked in and took my robe off, tossing it to the side. "We need to fill it with bubbles!" I said as I walked up to the bath and turned some of the nobs to create bubbles.

The bath was soon filled with bubbles, so I got on the diving board and jumped in. To my surprise, the bath was super deep, and I could swim around. "This is brilliant!" I said as I swam up to Harry. "What do you have in your hands?" I asked as he held a golden egg like thing. "Where you not at the first triwizard task?" My face went a little red as I thought about Draco in my bed. "No, I skipped it." He chuckled before handing me the egg and telling me it was, in fact, a golden egg. He opened the top of the egg and all of a sudden it was playing a very abrupt sound so I shoved it under the water and it stopped. "What!" Harry said before going under the water and grabbing the egg.

I went under the water with him and heard the egg playing a song about the next task. Harry took the egg out and put it to the side before standing up and walking up to me. "We figured it out!" He said as he splashed me. "Yeah, we did!" I splashed him back and started laughing, but before I knew it, I felt his arm wrap around my waist as he pulled me closer to him. "There is something going on between us, Grace, and I know you feel it too." He said with a smile. I looked at him, stunned as I just didn't know what to say. "I like you, Grace, I really like you."

Harry held my waist with both of his hands before pulling me closer and pressing his lips onto mine. I pulled away from him and backed up as I felt extremely guilty about this. "I'm sorry, Harry... but I... I can't right now." I got out of the water and threw my robe back on before rushing out of the bathroom and walking back to the Griffendor dorms.

I liked Harry, I really did. He was sweet, brave, heroic, and funny... and a good kisser, but he wasn't Draco. When I kissed Draco, I felt like I was on top of the world, but when I kissed Harry, I just felt guilty.
