Dumbledore's my granddad!? (A Harry Potter FanFiction)

Chapter 6

It was snowing and Hermione was off in a rage with Ron, I have no clue why, but of course Ron always lands himself in it. So that left me unable to find Ron who was probably with Harry, wherever they may be? I decided to roam the school a bit to see if I could find anyone. I met Ginny who talked about how Neville asked her to the dance and I met Seamus who seemed to have a date as well. Thank gosh George is bringing me. I was walking around a corner and bumped into who do you think...? Draco Malfoy!

"Are you stalking me!?" I exclaim. The last time I talked to him he whispered Game on...I need to leave now before he turns me into a toad or something?! Wizards do that.... Right?

"I believe it is you who Is stalking me, Crawford." He laughs evilly.

"Ugh! Get over yourself Malfoy!" I smirk.

"So you got a date to the dance yet?" He asks me, looking genuine for once.

"Uh..Yeah." I replied.

"Oh, Well me to." He replied.

"I got to go so, yeah, catch you later Crawford!" He exclaimed leaving. Boys are weird...?

The night of the ball had come.... I got changed into my dress and put some mascara, eyeliner and dark eye shadow with red lip stick on. I styled my hair down with long curls and I put it all over the right shoulder sloping down. I slipped on some black heels and then I was done. I walked down to the front of the fat ladies portrait where I met George. He was dressed in very nice dress robes that our mother must have sent him.

"Wow...Never knew our little Erica could turn out to be a hottie!" George laughed.

"Oh, Shut up will you!" I laughed. With that we walked off towards the great hall.

When we got there I could swear I was getting more anxious every time I took a step towards it. What would everyone think? Was George just being polite when he told me I looked nice? Or do I look that bad?! As if George knew what I was thinking he turned and said,

"You look amazing, sis! Don't worry if anyone is interested in you it's because you look...Wow." He laughed.

"Thanks bro, I find it really comforting knowing they will stare." I giggled sarcastically. We entered and I felt people stare. Breathe....Just Breathe Erica... I saw Harry dancing with a girl in our year. I think she had a twin? Oh yes, she does. The twin was with Ron across the room looking annoyed that she got stuck with my idiot of a brother than with Harry.

"Want to dance?" George asked.

"Um...Problem..." I mumbled in a worried way.

"What?" George asked.

"I...I can't dance." I mumbled. George laughed,

"Come on, I will teach you!" He exclaimed. George hulled me onto to dance floor along with other partners dancing. He grasped my waist and told me told wrap my arms around his neck and we started to dance! It was actually pretty easy once I got past the point of stepping on George's feet every time.

A little while later, I went to sit down and then all the party music started. Now this here! This was my Jam! I jumped up and started to dance like crazy, I love huge dancing crowds cause then no one can watch you make a fool of yourself dancing weirdly. I jumped and spun and laughed and George joined in.

"I feel a bit of a headache coming on, George." I yelled over the blaring music.

"What!?" George yelled.

"Wait, what?!" I yelled back. He made a motion towards his ears trying to explain he couldn't hear me.

"I will be back soon!" I yelled. He seemed to get it and began bashing his head about while I struggled to get free of the enclosing crowd.

I had made my way out of the crowd to see Harry and Ron sitting alone with only the unlucky twin for company. "Hey boys!" I yelled, laughing.

"Hey." Ron mumbled, Where as Harry fully on took a double take of me. "Wow..." He mumbled.

"What?" I laughed.

"Uh-Nothing!" Harry stuttered, he blushed.

"That's cute, but I got to get some air so yeah...Bye!" I said while skipping out of the Great hall.

I made it out of the Great hall and began to make my way to the courtyard. I saw a tree close by and flopped down infront of it. "What a great night." I mumbled, sighing.

"I know right?" I heard a voice sigh too, and suddenly a figure flopped down next to me.

"Oh my fudging goodness! You scared me Draco!" I laughed. Wait I just called him Draco...!?

"I-uh mean..." I tried to cover but it didn't work.

"Caught you out Crawford." Malfoy Laughed.

"Damn..." I mumbled.

"It's really pretty." I sighed. Staring into the moonlit sky. The stars twinkling overhead and the moon shining brightly like a beacon.

"She is..." Draco murmured, in a hardly recognizable voice.

"She? I am not so sure the moon is a girl Malfoy!" I laughed.

"Uh...I knew that!" Malfoy was looking very agitated. I just laughed harder.

Draco Malfoys P.O.V

I saw Erica leaving the Great hall and I couldn't wait to get rid of Pansy so I followed.

"Draco!?" I heard Pansy yell through the crowd, I started to run.

I made my way out to the court yard to see her slouch behind a tree. She seemed to look at the sky with a facinated manner. I made my way towards her silently trying to make sure I didn't ruin her train of thought.

"What a great night." She sighed.

"I know right?" I sighed as well.

"Oh my fudging goodness! You scared me Draco!" She laughed, my God her laugh sounded amazing. I looked at her, slouching beside her as well. She just called me by my first name!? She tried to cover the fact she had done it but I knew fully well she did.

"Caught you out Crawford." I laughed.

"Damn." She mumbled. I looked at her and the way the moonlight shone off her red dress and her eyes they were so transfixed on the night sky that she didn't realise how much of an impact on me it was for her to be sitting beside me.

"It's really pretty." She sighed staring at the sky. I knew full well what she meant but I couldn't help it when I said;

"She is..."

"She? I'm not so sure the moon is a girl Malfoy!" She laughed. Did I really just say that infront of her!?

"Uh...I knew that!" I mumbled, hoping that the darkness covered my face so she couldn't see how badly she was affecting me. She just laughed and stared with those big brown doe eyes and I immediatly melted. I didn't care anymore about who she was, what she was or why all I knew was I was unstoppably falling for this beautiful girl sitting beside me and I don't think I could stop it even if I tried...Because once you fall there is no going back.
