A Potter and a Malfoy ✔️

15| Yule Ball

Today was the Yule Ball. I was so excited that I could barely sleep last night.

Draco and I had spent all day together. We went out to Hogsmeade and then came back to my dorm to relax and sleep.

He just left to go to breakfast but I had to wait for Avery. Draco's dorm was nice because he didn't have a roommate but Avery was here in my dorm.

She just kept to herself last night so it's not like she was a distraction. I would send her to Harry's dorm but he shared a room with five other boys.

"Ok I'm ready!" Avery skipped out of the bathroom.

"Finally! Let's go I'm hungry." I rushed us out of the dorm and down to the Great Hall.

We sat down with Ron and Harry.

"Where's Mione?" I asked.

"She hasn't been down yet." Ron looked down and picked at his food. I don't think I've ever seen Ron pick at his food.

"Ok Ronald Weasley, I've never seen you pick at your food. What's up?" Avery read my mind.

"Nothing." He mumbled.

"It's Hermione. Isn't it?" Harry asked his best friend.

"Ok fine. Yes, it's Hermione. I think I love her!"

My jaw dropped hearing the words come out but it dropped further when I heard Hermione's voice behind me.

"Really?"

Ron looked up with terrified eyes. He gave a slight nod and swallowed a lump in his throat. "Yeah."

"Then why am I going to the ball with Viktor?" She asked and ran to him jumping in his arms.

"Yes!" I cheered.

"Finally." Harry laughed rolling his eyes playfully.

"I knew it." Avery smiled.

"Hermione I hope it's not too late to ask, will you go to the Yule Ball with me?" Ron was holding her hands now.

"Yes!" She squealed and hugged him again.

I was so happy to see them together finally.

"I have to go tell Viktor before he can't find another date!" Hermione got up and rushed off not before looking back and blushing.

"Congrats, Ron." Harry smiled happily.

"I'm going to go find Draco. You guys have fun!" I smiled and got up.

"Woah wait." Harry stopped me. I turned to look at him so he continued. "You barely ate."

"I'm not hungry." I lied. I couldn't tell him that if I ate today I would look fat in my dress. He would scold me.

"Alright." He gave up and let me go.

I ran off to the Slytherin table and saw Draco sitting with his friends. I also saw Pansy Parkinson lurking by them.

She was eyeing Draco in a way I didn't like. I decided to walk over there and show her he's mine.

"Hey Dray!" I chirped happily sitting down next to him and kissing him softly.

"Hey baby." He reciprocated my kiss and snaked his hands around my waist. "You missed me already?"

"Is that so bad?" I asked smiling flirtatiously.

"Not at all."

I leant in to give him a hug and whispered in his ear. "Parkinson is staring you down."
