Do You Promise?// Draco Malfoy

"I Am Not Worried...I Am With You."//11

Over the past two days me and Luna had become the best of friends. Of course I knew she was friends with the so called 'Golden Trio' but that didn't really bother me. Luna, of course, knew that I didn't particularly like them and she understood so she kept a relationship with me and a relationship with them.

But tonight was a special night, I think. It was the night of the Yule ball. All day the girls were getting ready while the guys just sat around until they decided it was time to get into their tux. I, on the other hand, was doing exactly as the guys were and stayed on my bed while the girls around me got ready. In fact I almost got hit with a flying shoe as Pansy had grabbed the wrong shoe and proceeded to throw it.

My plan was to wait until I was the only girl left in my room and get ready in peace. No one had seen my dress, but me and Luna 'cause she helped me pick it out, and I had planned to make a grand entrance.

While I was casually staring at the stone floor and thinking, another shoe was thrown at me but this time it was deliberate so I looked up to see Daphne glaring at me with her hands on her hips.

"What?" I spat.

"Are you going to get ready? Or are you going to be late? The dance starts in half an hour." She snapped right back.

Instead of answering I just simply flipped her off causing her to groan and turn away from me. I laughed quietly then went back to staring at the floor while waiting for everybody to leave. Less than fifteen minutes later I was finally alone. I had asked a girl named Allie to let Draco know to go ahead as I would more than likely be a little late.

Once I was sure every girl had left I took the dress out of my wardrobe. It was a beautiful dress truly. The dress as one was a light-ish silver color that had jewels from the neckline to the waist, with a silver belt to match, leading to a tule skirt that had scattered jewels until about my knees. The dress was long enough to make a small train behind me. After I pulled the dress out of the plastic protection and had it on I went in search of my shoes. I had decided to let my true height show and wear flats. The flats I had picked out were grey ballet slipper style that had ribbons which tied up around my ankles.

I put on the shoes then went to the mirror set up against a wall and pulled out my wand. Allie told me a spell which did my makeup for me in case I didn't have a lot of time, she also told me of one that did my hair. Sighing in hopes of these spells working I quickly cast them, one after the other. I opened my eyes to find my hair in loose curls with braids from either side of my head that met in the back while my makeup was simple yet smokey with a nude lip. I smiled as I put on the dragonfly necklace that my mother had left for me then walked out of the common room and to the Yule ball.

I had met Hermione half way there. She was just as 'fashionably late' as I was so we decided to walk in together. Honestly it felt weird walking with her but relaxing at the same time. Her pink dress made her look absolutely breathtaking and I knew she would capture attention. Although what I wasn't expecting was Harry, Ron, and Draco waiting at the bottom of the stairs for us.

Harry only noticed after his date had said something to him while Ron was gawking at her the second he laid eyes on her. Draco, however, was staring at the ground like a child who had lost his mother at the store. It didn't take long for Viktor to come over and ask permission to take Hermione from me as we had linked arms while walking. I smiled at him and gently handed him her arm.

Once the couple passed him, Draco finally looked up and his jaw dropped. He walked over to me only to let his jaw drop further, if possible. I looked up at him to realize that he was a good foot and a half taller than me which made me feel even smaller than I already felt.

"Wow." He finally said as he wrapped his arms around my waist. "You look amazing."

I smiled as I looked at his black tux that had green and silver accents to perfectly match not only my dress, but the Slytherin house colors.

"Right back at you." I winked.

"Ah Miss Snape. You look beautiful. Now that you are here I must ask that you and Mr. Malfoy head to the dance floor as the champions and their dates have the first dance." Professor McGonagall said to me as she rushed us into the dance.

We entered the dance only to be met with various gasps. Fleur had come to tell me how beautiful I looked to which I rebutted with the classic 'you look way better than me!' Though I had slightly said it out of spite it was true. She looked absolutely radiant in her grayish-blue one shoulder dress that had bronze colored flowers at the neckline. Our dresses were similar in color but the color of hers truly matched her very well.

Professor McGonagall announced that since all four champions were here we could start the dance with the 'very special' champion dance to open. I turned to Draco to see him just simply staring at me. After a couple seconds he finally noticed that I had turned around and he gave me a small smile. Though the smile looked forced I smiled back to see him almost melt then smile back genuinely.

He reached his hand out then waited for me to grab it. Sheepishly I grabbed his hand in sync with the other girls. The dance starts and you have no idea how much I was spun. It was honestly a fun dance but I just have this thing where I don't like to be picked up and spun.

After the dance I sat down at a random table while Draco went to talk to his friends. Luna eventually found her way to me so we had random conversations until Draco joined me. Draco had brought me a drink, figuring that I would be thirsty. I thanked him but pushed the drink away, knowing that it was probably spiked.

"Do you want to dance or do you to just sit there?" Draco asked me.

"Eh I think I'll just sit here." I smiled.

"You're boring." He laughed.

"Nah. Just a party pooper." I chuckled.

He laughed before he gingerly leaned down and softly kissed my forehead.

"Weirdo." He chuckled against my skin.
