Diary of a Slytherin Witch

The Yule Ball

December 25th, The Yule Ball!

The Yule Ball hasn't yet happened, I just came back from Christmas lunch in the Great Hall. It was very nice but the potatoes were a bit too salty, Pansy said she's going to make a complaint to the House Elves who cook it.

At the moment, Pansy's walking with Draco, Crabbe and Goyle in the snow. I'm with Millicent in the Slytherin Common Room. I'm going to get changed into my dress now, it's two hours before the Yule Ball and I need to do my hair.

Later

The Yule Ball was brilliant! We walked into the Great Hall with Millicent who was walking arm in arm with Crabbe. Pansy was walking with Draco. I saw Ron standing on the other side of the room with Harry. He smiled at me, I smiled back making sure no-one saw me doing so. All the Triwizard champions started dancing first then everyone else had to start dancing too. Pansy's frilly dress wooshed round gracefully. Millicent and Crabbe were one of the last to start dancing. Of course, I didn't start dancing,  I didn't want anyone to see me with Ron. When the music changed into something more fast and the lights went lower, I stepped onto the dance floor with Ron and danced with him in a corner. His dress robes were horrendous but I said he looked handsome. Ron said that I looked beautiful, I believed him. Once we had been dancing for some time, Ron got us some Butterbeer and then sat down at the back.

"So, thanks again for coming with me," he smiled.

"It's fine," I replied. "Anyway, I was happy to go with you."

We grinned at each other and leaned in closer. I lunged in at him and kissed him. His lips were dry but tasted like the Butterbeer.

" I-I'm sorry," I mumbled pulling away.

" No it's fine," he said taking me back. "Do it again."

We kissed again, he put his hand on my neck gently and I strocked his soft hair. Luckily, no-one saw us.

"So," he gulped. "D'you wanna... you know... go out?"

"Yes! Yes! Of course!" I beamed hugging him tightly.

We danced a little more then I went back to my dorm. I took out my diary and here I am. I will never forget this night.
