The next morning I had woken up around 7, I got ready for breakfast and met Draco outside his room. "Good morning!" I said, "Morning" He grumbled rubbing his eyes, he still had his usually slick back and was dressed. "I'm not a morning person at all." He said as we walked down the stairs. We sat down with his parents, "So, Celeste, how are you liking your bedroom." Narcissa spoke. I cleared my throat, "It's beautiful, thank you." She smiled, "No need to thank me, it was Draco who helped design it." Dracos eyes widened. "Mum." He mumbled, turning pink.

We had lunch and once it was over, I immediately went to my bedroom to start getting ready. A/N, you can imagine whatever dress you'd like! The elves had decorated the Manor and guest were suppose to arrive at 4. Narcissa helped do my hair, she had curled my hair at the bottom, brought two strands together and added some butterfly clips.

A/N: Something like this, but you can imagine whatever hairstyle you'd like!

Once she had finished, I added some mascara and lip gloss. I didnt need much makeup, after all im only 11. I went to my trunk and took out the charm bracelet Harry had gotten me. I heard voice downstairs, I guess people had arrived, someone knocked on the door. I went to open it and saw a very worried Draco, "Help me." He said holding up his tie. I tied his tie, im not even sure how I knew how to tie one. "You look amazing." He said looking at me, "Thank you, your mum helped a lot."

"Um, my mother wants me to walk you down, its some sort of big entrance. I know it's idiotic but my I'll be in trouble if I dont do it." My nerves started, a big entrance? In front of who knows how many people? Draco picked up on how nervous I was, "Don't worry, we dont have to do it.."
"No, its alright, we can do it." He smiled at me and we linked arms and headed to the stairs, I peered down and saw hundreds of people there.

I gulped nervously. "You'll be fine, I wont let you fall or anything." I smiled slightly and nodded. We were at the top of the stairs and Lucius casted a spell to enchant his voice to make it louder. "Everyone, may I have your attention please." The guest had silenced and their eyes were now on him. "May I now present, my son, Draco Malfoy and Celeste Potter!" He exclaimed. We walked down the stairs and once we made it Draco pulled my arm and we hurried over to Pansy, she was with 2 other boys as well.

"Well if it isnt Celeste Potter" One of the boys said, Pansy rolled her eyes and hugged me. "Celly you look amazing!" I smiled at her. "You do as well, your dress is amazing." The other boy cleared his throat, "Celeste Potter, lovely to meet you, Bella." He said in an Italian accent. "Theo, you just met her." Pansy scoffed. "Celly, this is Theodore Nott and this is Blaise Zabini." She said before going to talk to Draco.

"Hello, lovely to meet you two." I spoke, "Its lovely to meet you Celeste, why haven't I seen you around? You are a Slytherin right?" Blaise asked, I nodded, "Im not sure, I havent seen either of you around, it is a big school after all."

As I Blaise, Theo, and I began to get to know each other better, Lucius had interrupted our conversation, "Celeste, its time for the dance." I looked up at him confused, "The dance?" He nodded, "You and Draco will preform a dance, now go on." He said as we walked over to Draco. "Go." He told him.

Music began to play, Draco grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the dance floor. "Im sorry about this." He whispered as we danced, he spun me around to the song. "You owe me, I hardly even know how to dance."

"Well, your'e doing great so far, as long as you dont step on me then we're fine." He said, I laughed and rested my head on his shoulder. As we continued to dance, it felt like we were in our own world. Everyone was watching us, but it felt like no one else was there.

The song ended with us still holding each other, clapping erupted and we separated quickly. I felt myself turn bright red of embarrassment. We walked back towards our friends, "That was amazing, I didnt know you could dance." Pansy exclaimed, "Neither did I." I shrugged.

We continued the rest of the night, Blaise and I danced, Theo and I did as well. We all had gotten closer in just a couple of hours. Slowly the night had ended. I was sitting in my bedroom, I couldn't help but be worried about whats going on with Harry. This was the longest we had ever been apart.
