Y/N's POV

"Er, excuse me?" I looked up from my book to see Harry staring at me nervously. "Hello Harry." I said, smiling at him. "Hi..." He wrung his hands together nervously. "Y-You don't happen to have a date to the, er, to the Yule Ball yet, d-do you?" My smile dropped, I knew where this was going. "No...." I said cautiously, slowly closing my book.

"Well, w-would you maybe want to go to the Ball... With me?"

My heart dropped. I was friends with Harry, but I didn't feel anything more than just a friend. I felt so guilty. "Harry," I began, sorrow filling my eyes, "that's so sweet of you... But I'm going to have to say no... I'm sorry." He sighed and nodded his head. "It's ok, I understand." And with that, he walked off back towards the Gryffindor table.

I sighed and picked at my breakfast. The Ball was tonight and I still didn't have a date.

"What was Potter talking to you about?" Draco asked, sitting next to me.

I just shrugged. "He asked me to the Yule Ball." Draco instantly paled. "Y-You didn't say yes, did you?" I shook my head no, and relief washed over his face. I raised an eyebrow at his reaction. "Why are you relieved?"

Draco paled once again. "I-I mean, you know..."

"Is the Draco Malfoy stuttering?" I teased, laughing a bit. But he only nodded. "I j-just wanted to ask you out before anyone else..." My eyes widened in response. Did he actually like me back?! Am I dreaming?! I pinched my leg to see that I was not dreaming, making this even better. "Really?" I asked finally, a big grin spreading across my face. He nodded sheepishly, still looking down. "I'd love to!" I said excitedly, causing him to look up in surprise. I stood up, grabbing my bag, and gave him a light kiss on the cheek. "See you tonight."

"This is so exciting!" My friend Andrea squealed, bouncing around the room. "I know!" I giggled, spinning around. "I had no idea he liked me!"

"I kept telling you he did!" Andrea exclaimed, flopping down onto my bed. "I kept telling you he liked you, but you never believed me!"

I rolled my eyes and laughed. "How was I supposed to know?" Andrea only scoffed. "How were you supposed to know?! Hmm, maybe how he stares at you all the time,"

"I never saw!"

"Or how he's nicer to you,"

"I never really thought about that..."

"And how he laughs at your bad jokes."

"Hey!" I exclaimed, pointing at her. "My jokes are only a little bad."

Andrea rolled her eyes and stood up. "Whatever you say..." She walked over to my trunk and swung it open. I raised an eyebrow but she motioned me to sit on the bed. I obeyed and she sat behind me, running a brush through my hair. We talked and joked around as we got ready.

"This is gonna be great!" Andrea giggled, slipping on her shoes. The ball began in ten minutes.

"I know." I smiled, slipping on my dress. God, it was such a beautiful dress. It was forest green with a sweet heart neckline, and had white lace trim around the bottom; it came down just bellow the knee.

"Y/N!" Andrea gasped, placing a hand over her mouth before smiling. "You look beautiful."

"And so do you." I replied, giving her a hug. I then cocked an eyebrow and smirked, "Shall we?"

We walked down to the Great Hall, where I saw Draco at the bottom of the stairs. He was giving himself a pep talk, but I couldn't hear what he was saying. It was absolutely adorable.

When he saw me walking down the stairs, he was speechless. His mouth hung open as I made my way over. "Hello to you too." I giggled. He blinked for a few seconds before composing himself. "You look stunning." He said, taking my hand.

The Yule Ball was amazing. Draco and I talked, laughed, and he even insisted on dancing.

"Y/N," he began. We were dancing to a slow song.

"Mm?"

He took a deep breath. "I just wanted to say... I-I really like you. A lot. I've liked you since our second year. And I mean, I was just wondering-"

"Of course." I replied, smiling. Draco smiled in return and before I knew it, he leaned down and captured my lips with his.

Yeah, the Yule Ball was fun.
