As the ball went on Hally had opted to not dance again.
Draco had been smart in deciding to steer clear of her for the remainder of the evening. He hadn't left his parent's side for the first bit of the ball but eventually ended up dancing with some of his friends and a few people from Durmstrang.
Hally tried desperately to catch Snape's attention once more but he wouldn't look at her. She could feel the waves of anger rolling off of him whenever she looked in his direction.
Whether it was from Draco kissing her or whatever Karkaroff was talking to him about she wasn't sure, but she did know that she really didn't want to be on the receiving end of his wrath this evening.
"Why are you pouting ?" Hermione asked while pulling out the chair next to Hally.
"M'not pouting." Hally grumbled as she continued to anxiously pick at her nails.
"You are and professor Snape has looked furious all evening so I'm sure those two things are correlated." She all-knowingly pointed out.
Hally looked around at everyone dancing and heaved a sigh. Telling Hermione what happened would be better than overthinking and driving herself mad, she reasoned.
"Draco kissed me." She said lowly while leaning towards her best friend.
"HE WHAT ?!" She yelled out startling Hally and everyone in their vicinity.
"Shhh !' Hally grabbed Hermione and pulled her in close. 'I don't think he wanted to— oh— it's rather complicated to explain but Snape caught us."
Hermione's eyes shifted between her own before widening like she had just had all the puzzle pieces in her head slide into place. "Well that explains why you're both in awful moods but what do you mean Draco didn't want to kiss you ? Why would he do it then ?"
Hally leaned her head closer to Hermione to make sure that no one could overhear them. "We heard Snape and Karkaroff having a private conversation about something that I didn't understand but Malfoy seemed to.' Hally recalled the way the boys pupils dilated in fear, but for a different reason than her own. He wasn't concerned about them getting caught together, he was worried about something else. 'He said they couldn't know that we'd heard them and before I had a chance to even blink he kissed me." She shivered remembering the way his thin lips smooshed against he own.
Snape's kiss had ignited a wildfire in her veins. It felt like every atom in her body wanted to cling onto his own and make a home out of it. She wasn't sure if that was a normal reaction to being kissed but she did know that the disgust she felt with Draco was something she didn't want a repeat of.
"Do you remember what was being said ?" Hermione pulled her from her racing thoughts.
Hally did remember but until she had a chance to talk to Snape about what she had heard she didn't want to tell Hermione and have her jump to conclusions.
