Destined to be a Malfoy

Chapter 7: Silencio

Silencio: Makes something silent.  

~Lumos~

~ The constellations were forgotten. Another constellation shone brighter, the brightest of them all. The dog star filled the world with happiness as it was happy itself.~

Ara was surprised when Harry asked her to the Yule Ball. After being rejected by Cho, he asked her as a last resort. Ara gave an apologizing look at Ginny when she told the girls. 

In all honesty, Ara liked Harry but that's all she could feel about Harry. Nothing more.

And on the other hand, either by the bond or some damaged part of herself, actually felt butterflies whenever she was around Draco. When she thought of him, which was quite often she would daydream about the night they became friends. It was an innocent and cherished memory of hers she would like to take to her dying day.

Ara got herself dressed in the dress Narcissa bought her for her birthday in the summer. "There might be some event you would like to wear this. Stun everyone's eyes, especially a pair I'd like to see stunned." Narcissa told her with a broad smirk.

Everything looked good, she looked nice, but nothing would beat the day of her engagement. She peeped to the side to see Hermione all dressed and her jaw dropped.

The girl looked beautiful and Ara couldn't be prouder. She hugged Hermione from behind her, chin resting on her shoulder.

"You look absolutely beautiful. It's time a special face drools." 

Hermione giggled and held in Ara's hands.

"You look beautiful as well Ara."

"Let's get going, I can't wait to see his expression."

Draco's expensive robes and perfect appearance was nothing compared to Ara. 

She looked beautiful. He couldn't keep her eyes away for her. 

She was entering the Great Hall with Harry Bloody Potter. Glaring and clenching his fists, he tore his eyes from his arch enemy and stared at Ara. His gaze softened at her soft smile upon the crowd.

The champions danced with their dates and Pansy wanted to dance. She dragged Draco to the dance floor and out of sympathy he danced with the girl. 

After an hour or so, Draco took a seat at an empty table. Pansy dancing with Blaise, he was free from her.

Ara came out of the crowd, her cheeks red and glanced at Draco. She pointed to the door and he followed her.

"What's wrong?" He asked slightly worried.

"Nothing much, it was really hot in there and the boys were busy drooling over their interests." Ara joked.

Draco chuckled nervously as he felt some drool residue on his chin. She took hold of his hand and they made their way to the astronomy tower.
