CHAPTER FOUR

When Ellison woke up the next morning absolutely exhausted, she quickly got ready for her classes and seemed to miss a minor detail about her appearance.

She didn't notice until she sat down in Potions.

However, Theo noticed it immediately and nearly fell over from laughter. It was too early and she was too exhausted to be patient with him, "What is it, Theo?"

He gave her an odd look, "Your new look, it's a bit out there."

She frowned, "What are you talking about?"

"You look like you could be the eighth Weasley child." He joked.

"How? What's wrong with me?"

Draco snorted from beside her, "Your hair is red, dumb arse."

She reached up and pulled a piece of her to the front, she looked back at Theo, "I don't know how this happened. It was normal last night."

"Bloody hell!" Ron exclaimed when he walked into the classroom, "Trying out a new look, Avery?"

Theo turned to him, "She's the eighth Weasley child, didn't you know, Weasley?" He asked in a joking manner.

Ron laughed as he took his seat a few tables away.

Theo stood up and walked to the back of the class to grab a potions book which gave Draco the chance to turn around and talk to Ellison.

"I wonder who would do such a thing?" Draco asked, an innocent tone to his voice.

She scowled at him, "I know it was you."

"Do you have proof, Avery?" A smug grin on his face.

"No, but-"

"Then you can't prove it." He cut her off.

She rolled her eyes, "I'll get you back, Malfoy."

"You can get me back by coming with me to this ball at the Manor next month." He suggested.

"That wouldn't be getting you back, that would literally be me doing you a favor."

He scoffed, "No because I don't want you there, so having to be around you for hours would be enough torture for me to call it even."

"That's not how that works.." She trailed off, deeply confused, just yesterday he wanted a chandelier to fall on her head and now he wants her to come with him to a ball at his Manor?

"Can you just say yes?" He asked.

"No."

"You have to be there Ellison, not only will every respectable Pureblood be there but there's also a meeting." He emphasized on the last word.

She blinked, "Oh. Well, then yes I'll come."

"It's on October first and the theme for it happens to be a masquerade ball, do you know what that means?"

She shrugged, "No, should I?"

"You'll be wearing a mask and no one will know that I'm there with a stupid Gryffindor."

She scoffed, "Maybe I won't go as your date. Why don't you ask Pansy?"

His eyes widened, "No! I don't want to go with her! Plus, you're not my date. This is just a mutual agreement to show up at the same place for the same event at the same time while wearing slightly coordinated outfits to gather intel." He reminded her, his sentence came out very fast, like he was embarrassed or something.
