Krystal's POV
"I understand that we all are facing a hard and scary time with you-know-who's return. But we still have to focus on our normal lives to show that he didn't get to us. So continue with your studies and I expect you to excel in it", McGonagall said. "That's dumb", Felicia murmured. "Excuse me. What did you say?" McGonagall asked Felicia. "Nothing", she replied.
We continued transfiguration. Draco was beside me. "So you acted mean to me out of force?" I recounted. He nodded reassuringly. "I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry", he said. "It's fine", I replied. "Do you think you'll be ok later during Cho's memorial?" Draco asked. "No", I said. Draco gave me a sad look.
"I love you you know. In that way", Draco brought up. "I know", I replied, still unsure whether I feel the same way or not. Maybe I do. But I also love Harry.
I could see Draco looking frustrated at me because I didn't say it back. Especially when he risked his life by turning his back on the dark lord for god's sake! Who wouldn't be frustrated?
Soon, it was time for Cho's memorial. We were all gathered as we saw the navy coffin that lied on the school ground.
It was so....surreal.
"Let's raise our wands!" Flitwick said. We did as he said. "We shall never forget Cho Chang".
Most of us shed tears. It was so emotional. I couldn't bear the fact that Voldemort killed a fellow Ravenclaw of mine.
"She'll rest in peace", Luna whispered, "don't worry". I just nodded. I sighed sadly once the memorial was finished before walking back to my dorm.
"Krystal! Wait!" I heard two voices shout out. I looked back and saw Harry and Draco running to me. I turned to face them completely.
"What?" I asked, curious. They were glaring and scowling at each other. "Will you go to the Yule Ball with me?" They asked in unison. I was surprised both of them asked.
I blushed in embarrassment. "Uhm...", I awkwardly muttered.
They both looked at me, waiting for an answer.
I thought for quite a long time. They asked me so suddenly, I wasn't prepared!! Not that I'll ever be though.
"Uhm...Harry, I think you should just ask someone else. Like Chalisa. I mean, she's really great and I think she likes you so you should go for it. I think she's a better fit for you than me", I said, turning him down while doing my best to not hurt his feelings. Though, what I said was the honest truth.
Harry looked down to his feet, sad and disappointed. He was obviously hurt. Draco who was beside hin smirked happily. "Uhm..O-ok. Thanks anyways, Krystal", he said before leaving. I gave him a hug before he did so to comfort him.
I didn't know why. I just felt that he deserved better. Do I not like him that way anymore? Do I view him only as a friend now?
I was confused by my own feelings.
"So, does that mean you agree to go to the Yule Ball with me?" Draco snapped me out of my thoughts. I gave him a smile and nodded.
He quickly hugged me. "Thank youuu!!!!!" He exclaimed happily. I chuckled, "cute".
TIME SKIP
We were practicing dancing for the Yule Ball. "I'm pretty sure you've got your partners for the ball, so you can practice with each other. And for those who haven't gotten a partner yet, go practice with someone who don't have one as well", McGonagall ordered.
I smiled when I saw Harry dancing with Chalisa, I'm happy he asked her out. I think they'd be a cute couple.
Sherlyn was with Neville. It was odd at first, but now it's not bad and I actually ship it.
And of course...Felicia is with Cedric. No need to add anything there.
And surprisingly (though not really cuz they've been hanging out a LOT these days), Ron was with Angel.
I smiled at my friends and gave them a thumbs up before beginning to practice the dancing for the ball with Draco.
"You know how to dance, Eleanor?" Draco asked, smirking. "Yeah. Been waiting for the Yule Ball since forever", I replied. "Do you?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "Of course I do!" Draco snapped. I shushed him immediately and he just rolled his eyes.
I honestly didn't feel so awkward like I expected. I mean come on...dancing with Draco Malfoy. How can it not be awkward?! That was what had been filling my thoughts. But it wasn't that bad truthfully.
We just clicked and danced extremely well that McGonagall showered us with compliments.
"I can't wait to see you wearing something really gorgeous for the ball, Krystal", Draco admitted. I laughed. "Wow...I'm still not used to this".
"Learn how to take a compliment, sweetheart. Like me for example", he proudly said. "And become so goddamn cocky? Hell no", I replied. "I don't praise myself to be cocky. I state facts", he defended. I gave up, arguing with him was pointless.
TIME SKIP
"Tell me again why are you sitting on the Ravenclaw table?! Get the hell back to your seat, you ass!"
"Nope. I want to sit next to you", Draco stubbornly replied. All the Ravenclaws and Slytherins just stared at us...most of them looking disgusted.
"By the ways...", Draco started, "you still have to be my girlfriend for like 1 week and six days? Because you can't count the days where I wasn't even with you".
"Hey thats not fair!" I said. "You're the one who broke up with me, remember?!" I said, quite agitated. "I was only doing that by force", he muttered.
"Ugh, just do it. You have to", he whined like a child. "No", I simply said.
He started to whine and create a scene, acting like a baby! I couldn't belive him!
I was getting really frustrated and annoyed, everyone was looking at us and he just kept shamelessly creating a tantrum like a five year old! And he's a teen for god's sake.
I was way too irritated to deal with him, plus I was getting embarrassed so I finally gave in.
"Fine! Fine! Ok?! I agree and all that. Just stop creating a scene, you brat!" I called out.
He immediately smiled and side-hugged me. I rolled my eyes.
"Get off me", I demanded.
He just smiled at me with satisfaction. "You're such a big baby you know?"
"Ok, girlfriend".
