So after the first task everything went back to normal, Harry and Ron made up, the trio is back together, Draco and I are better the ever yesterday while everyone was celebrating we went to the black lake and just hung out me and him, it was nice being alone, the pack have been busy with the tournament, and Cedric got more fangirls than ever. We were all as in the trio and I were in the Great hall having breakfast, harry was having breakfast with one hand since his hand was on a sling but I would help him every once in a while if he needed it.
"Look at this." Hermione yells putting the daily prophet looking at us. "Can't believe it she's done it again." She's talking about Rita Skeeter the reporter of the daily prophet she writes about me ever since the secrete's been out and some aren't even true. I just chose to ignore her anyways. "Ms. Granger a plane but ambitious girl seems to be developing a taste for famous wizards, her latest prey sources report is non other than the bulgarian bon bon Victor Krum, no word yet on how Harry Potter is taking this emotional blow." She read from the daily prophet. Harry and I shook our head, Ron on the Other was snickering.
"Don't listen to her Hermione no one reads her Column anyway." I said.
"But the Slytherin seem to." Ron said pointing at the slytherine table I turn around to look at the Slytherin table to see Parkison and her croons laughing at the daily prophet at looking at Hermione.
"C'mon that's Parkison her whole life is based on making ours miserable." I say to her.
"Yeah since when did she ever not bothered us." Harry chipped in.
"Yeah because all we hear coming out of her mouth it BARK BARK." I said and we all laughed. Just then Nigel came to us carrying a parcel.
"Parcel for you Mr. Weasley." He said to Ron.
"Thank you Nigel." Said Ron but Nigel didn't run to his friends he just stayed looking at Harry dreamily. Hermione cleared her throat at Ron who noticed Nigel was still standing there.
"Not now Nigel. Later." Ron whispered to him. Nigel had a sad look on his face and ran to his friends. We all looked at him with a look to explain. "I told him I'd get him Harry's autograph." He said opening the parcel. "Oh look Mom sent me something." He opened the parcel and pulled out the most old and ugly piece of dress robes that caused everyone in the hall to look at him as he held it out. "Mom sent me a dress." He said in horror.
"Well it does match your eyes." Harry joked.
"Is there a bonneted." I asked looking through the bonnet.
"AHA." Harry shouted pulling out the bonnet and showing it to the entire great hall. We both were laughing and high fives each other.
"Nose down Alex and Harry." he said moving Harry's hand away and walking to Ginny. "Ginny these must be for you."
"I'm not wearing that that's gas-sly." she said looking at the robe in disgust. Hermione let out a giggle causing Ron to turn to her.
"What are you on about." He walked back to us and stood behind Harry and I.
"Those aren't for Ginny there for you." By then the entire great hall were laughing at him. He just gave her a confused look as she continued. "Dress Robes."
"Dress robes? For What." They all shrugged and he looked at me and I zipped my lips. Just then the speakers in the great hall said.
"All students report to the transfiguration room immediately." said Auntie Minerva's voice rang through the hall. We all looked at each other and went to the transfiguration room.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
We were all sitting in the transfiguration room with the chairs and desks to the side and the girls were sat in the right with the boys in the left. I was sitting with Hermione, Ginny, and Luna, Harry, Ron, Seamus, and Dean were sitting directly in front of us. Draco and his crew were sitting behind them looking board as ever. Pansy and her Crew were sitting at the back doing the same. Fred were standing on the side with Cedric and Blaise. Auntie Minerva was in the center of the room with the Pack and Mr. Filch were setting up some sort of musical instrument.
"The Yule ball has been a tradition of the triwizard tournament since its inception on Christmas eve night we and our guests gather in the great hall for a night of a well mannered frivolity as representatives of the whole school I expect each and every one of you to put your best foot forward and I mean this literally because the yule ball is first and for most a dance." She said the girls started gossiping the boys started groaning.
"Silence."Auntie minerva said quieting the students. "Hogwarts has commanded the respect of the wizard world for centuries i will not have you in the course of a single evening act like bumbling bumbling band of buboons." I can see Fred and George whispering how to say it fast, but listening to Aunite minerva. "Now to dance is to let the body breeze, inside every girl a secrete swan slumming wanting to burst its beauty." I saw Ron whisper something to Seamus causing Auntie minerva to turn to him. "Inside every boy a lordly lion prepared to prance Mr. Weasley."
"Yes."
"Will you join me please?" She asked and he reluctantly laughed. I was trying hard not to laugh just looking at him. Ron and Auntie Minerva walked to the middle of the floor. "Now place your right hand on my waist."
"where?" Ron asked shocked.
"My waist." She repeated we all started laughing. Fred and George started whistling as Auntie minerva told him what to do. "Mr. Filch if you please." she ordered as Mr. Flitch who had the boys standing behind him. The music started and Auntie Minerva and Ron started dancing making the girls and  I start laughing.
"1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3." Aunite Minerva said while dancing. I saw Harry call the twins for a while and say something to them making them answer him in unison. We sort of made eye contact and I pointed at Ron making them nod telling me that they got the point. "Everybody get together." She said all the girls stood up expcept me since I know this so instead I walk to Jake and stood next to him with my arms crossed.
"Your not joining the party?" He asked smirking and I huffed.
"Please I can do all this in my sleep." I said and he chuckled at me.
"Boys you too." Auntie Minerva yelled and they reluctantly stood up. Neville was the only brave one and asked Ginny to dance. Soon everyone started dancing together.
"Stop stop stop." Yells Auntie Minerva. "I think we will be needing the help of a student with more experience." She sighs and looks at me.
"Princess Alexandra?"
"I thought you'd never ask." I say removing my shoes as Jake hands me my dancing shoes. "Everyone make a circle and make sure you can see me." I say out loud.
"Now when your doing the waltz you and your partner working together in communication." I say "For example Neville." I called and he stepped forward nervously "Don't be shy." I say and he stepped forward. "Now Neville and I will be dancing the waltz and you try to follow." I  said placing my hands on his shoulder as he placed his right hand on my waist and we started dancing with me.
"Girls let the guys leads. Boys try not to step on you partners foot." I said and they all start doing the waltz again and Neville goes to Ginny again. I walk around and see how everyone's doing. I look at Draco and see him Dancing with Parkinson I started to feel jealous because they were standing rather close with each other. Draco even seemed more comfortable which made it hurt even more. I just stood there as everyone danced around me.
"Can I have this dance?" I looked next to me to see Embry smiling at me. I smiled and took his extended hand as we danced together. He had his hand on my waist and the other holding my hand.
"I saw that." He said in my ear I looked up at him.
"What do you mean?"
"The jealous gaze with you and lover boy." he said
"I wasn't jealous." I tell him.
"Not what I saw." He said said.
"Why is it that whenever I'm with you I feel more safe?" I ask him changing the subject but this is true. For some reason whenever I'm with Embry I feel more safe and I can tell him anything, but almost like I need to be with him.
"It's just an instinct." He answers.
"Em have I gone mad?" I asked him.
"No your beautiful." He whispers and I Blush and place my hand on his shoulder.
"Your good at this." I say.
"Dancing? Or making you smile?" He asks and I smile and look up at him.
"Both"
