Requested One shot

@royalbella14 this one is for you :)

Bella writes the last sentence if her potions homework and closes the text book. She glances at her friend, Harry, who's not even halfway through. After a minute, he stops and looks up at her. "Bella? Can I ask you a question?" He asks. Nervousness spreads throughout her body.

"Will you go to the Yule Ball with me?" He asks, rubbing the back of his neck. Bella goes red in embarrassment. How do you say no to something like this? "I'm so sorry, Harry, but I have to say no, thank you." Bella says, quickly gathering her things before running of to the Slytherin common room.

Once she's back in the familiar Slytherin common room, she collapses onto the couch, letting her bag fall next to her. Hopefully that won't ruin their friendship. She sighs and relaxes when a voice makes her jump.

"Hey, Bella." Draco Malfoy says, sitting on the other end of the couch. Bella's stomach fills with butterflies. "Hey, Draco." She says back, keeping her cool. He runs a hand through his hair. "I, uh, needed some advice. From a girl about a girl." He says.

Bella's surprised. Draco isn't the type of person she'd suspect to want girl advice. "Uh, okay. Tell me." He takes a deep breath, then smirks. "Okay, so there's this Slytherin girl I want to ask to the Yule Ball." He starts, and Bella's stomach is doing flips.

"She has tan skin, mid-back length dark brown hair, gorgeous brown eyes, and likes to wear green. What do you think her answer would be?" He asks, his smirk bigger. Bella knows he's talking about her. She replies, "I think she'd say yes."

It's finally the night of the Yule Ball. Bella waits at the top of the stairwell to the Great Hall for Draco. She sees Hermione go with Viktor Krum, and she sees Harry and Padma at the bottom of the stairs. Draco makes his way to the bottom of the stairwell, grinning. "You look beautiful." He says, and everyone turns to Bella.

She makes her way down the stairs in her dark green dress that is fitted to her, with her hair curled. Draco holds an arm out to her and she takes it. Harry watches the two of them with wide eyes.

Once the Champions have danced, Draco invites Bella to a dance. Bella thought she was in a dream, a fantasy movie. It was perfect.
