CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN the yule ball

𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐘'𝐒 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐏.
Hermione didn't like that Dakota was going to the Yule Ball with Draco. Dakota loathed that Hermione was going with Viktor Krum. Lyra had been asked to the dance by Neville, and Aliyah said yes to Fleur Delacour in an attempt to make her jealous.
To top it all off, all of Harry and Ron's candidates were now off the table. The only one who was successfully able to ask the person that they wanted to the dance was Ophelia, who, of course, asked Hadley, who obviously said yes.
"I can't believe Draco asked you to the Ball before me," Pansy complained as they were getting ready the night of the Yule Ball. "I mean. . .what's wrong with me? Why, out of everyone that he could've asked, would he choose to take you? You're a Mudblood for Salazar's sake!"
"Pansy, for the love of Merlin, shut the fuck up," Tracey snapped. "Draco asked Dakota. Get over it."
"Don't worry, after tonight, you can have him," Dakota grumbled, running a hand through her curled blonde hair. She sighed as she looked at her reflection in the mirror.
She looked beautiful. Molly Weasley had sewn her an elegant black dress. Tracey had done her make-up in a natural, toned down look instead of her usual thick eyeliner and mascara. She was going to the Ball with the heartthrob of Hogwarts, but everything just felt wrong.
To make things worse, she'd have to watch Hermione spend the whole night dancing with Viktor Krum. She didn't understand why this upset her so much. She had already agreed to go with Draco when Hermione told her Krum had asked her. But something about the idea of them touching, holding, and Merlin forbid kissing each other made her see red.
Dakota closed her eyes. She took a deep breath in through her nose and out through her mouth before opening them again. It was just for one night, and then everything would go back to normal. Just one night, and then she and Hermione would get over being upset about the other going to the dance with someone that wasn't them.
"Ready to do this?" Tracey asked, smiling at Dakota as she looped their arms together.
"Let's get this over with," Dakota grumbled as they left their dorm with Pansy. They went downstairs to the common room, where Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zambini were waiting for Dakota and Pansy.
Draco took Dakota's hand when she reached the bottom of the stairs. He kept eye contact with her as he kissed it, the girl glaring at him. "Father raised me to be a gentleman. Surely you won't punch me for that."
