Never Thought I Would Fall For You Pt 2 (A Hogwarts Love Story)

Chapter 24 - She Finally Said YES!!!

Draco's POV
"Blaise, what should I say?" I asked, pacing around the Slytherin Common Room.
"What? What are you talking about?" he asked.
"What should I say to her?" I asked.

"Say it to who? I really don't know what you're talking about, man." he said.
"To Belle. I want to ask her as my date." I said.

He smirked at that.
"From what I heard...she reject every boy in Hogwarts who asked her." he said.
"Why's that?" I asked.

He shrugged.
"I was about to ask her for a date, but I knew I would get rejected by her. So I changed my mind and asked one of the girls from the Beauxbatons."
"Wait...since when you got a date?" I asked.
"Since two days ago." he replied.

"You could've....ugh!" I said.

Blaise laughed at me.

"Sorry, mate. You were too slow." he said.
"Help me out here, Blaise. I don't want to let Pansy get at me again." I said.

"Haha! She's still after you, even though you two broke up?" he asked.
"Yeah." I replied.

Blaise brought his finger to his chin and tapped on it.
"Let's see....Belle has rejected every boy in Hogwarts that is after her. But why would reject them all?" he thought out loud.
"Because they're jerks. She doesn't like boys who acts like jerks." I said.

"Exactly! And you're sometimes are one." he said.
"Am not!" I exclaimed.

Blaise sighed.

"Remember what happen during second year? Remember what happened about last year?" he asked me.

Remembering those moments, making her mad and making her hate me.

I sighed sadly.

"I won't have a chance."

"Why not go ask her? You never know what might happen. For what I think, why did she reject all the boys who asked her, she's probably waiting for the right guy." Blaise said.

I still won't have the chance. I thought.

Then suddenly, Crabbe and Goyle came in.
"I can't believe it! Belle rejected me!" Goyle exclaimed.
"And I was too late! Erika is already going with someone else." Crabbe groaned.

"We're too late." they groaned.

"What happened you two?" Blaise asked.
"I got rejected by Belle. She knew what I was going to ask her." Goyle replied, sadly.
"And I ask Erika. She said she's going with someone." Crabbe said.

"Not good for you guys, huh?" Blaise said.
They nodded.

"And plus, I heard some of the Bulgarians boys are asking Belle in a minute." Crabbe said.

My eyes widen at that.
"Who?" I asked.

"I don't know, a guy name...Jason...I think." Crabbe replied.

With that, I charged at the door.

Isabelle's POV
"Hello, are you Isabelle Lee?" a bulgarian guy asked me.
"Yes?" I asked.

"I was wondering, if you like to go to the Ball with me?" he asked.
I sighed at that.

Same question...same answers to every guy.
"Sorry, I already had one." I lied.
"Oh, I see." He said, with a smile on his face. Then he left.

I don't know why, but I felt I want Malfoy to ask me.
I sighed and left the empty corridor and continued walking through the corridor.

Until I bumped into Erika.
"Belle! There you are." she said.
"Mwoh-ya?" I asked.

"Hermione and I going to help you to find a date." she replied.
"Aish....haven't I told you Erika...I can find one." I said.
"Belle, you reject every boy in Hogwarts who asked you." she said.
"And I have a reason." I said.

Erika chuckled at that.
"And that reason is that you're looking for someone who likes you for you. Yeah, I get it." she said.
"Exactly." I said.

"Come on, let's go have lunch." she said.

We walked around the corner and saw Malfoy running down the hall.
"What's he up to?" Erika asked.

I just shrugged.
Malfoy looked around and saw me. Then he ran up to me.
"Belle!"

"Whoa, what's up?" I asked.
"I...I want to ask you...something." he replied.
"Well, say it quick Malfoy." Erika sneered.

"Erika, not so harsh." I said.
Erika rolled her eyes at me.

That's Erika for ya. I thought.

I turned back to Malfoy and waited.
He was panting.

"I---I..." he was breathing too hard.
"Whoa, take a deep breath, Malfoy." I said.

He did take a few breaths and looked at me.
Then he suddenly looked around. Every students were staring at us.

"Can we talk...in private?" he asked.
"Why in private?" Erika asked.

"Erika, don't be mean." I said.
She sighed and crossed her arms.

"Sure, let's go somewhere private. And Erika, you go on and eat. I'm not actually hungry." I said.
Then I walked beside Malfoy.

"Belle!" Erika said.
I turned to her and smiled.

"I'll be fine with him, don't worry." I said.
Then Malfoy and I left.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Erika's POV
I'll be fine with him, don't worry?!

What?! Since when Belle is fond of Malfoy? I thought.

I went inside of the Great Hall and had lunch, but I couldn't believe what just happened.

Belle and Malfoy? I hardly believe it.

"Erika, what's wrong? You haven't touch your food." Hermione said.
"Not only that. Harry hasn't either." Ron said.

I turned to Harry and he was looking all sad.
"What's wrong, Harry?" Hermione asked.

Harry sighed and then....A beauxbatons girl came up to Harry. She smiled at him.
"See you at the ball." she said.

My heart shattered into pieces. I don't know why I'm feeling this way.
Jealousy?

Harry nodded and the girl left.
"Isn't that Kara Jackson?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah.'' Harry replied.

Ron looked at Kara and he was....
"Ron, stop looking at her butt." I mumbled.

"Sorry. I love how they walk." he said.
"Oh brother." I groaned.

"She's...my date." Harry said.

Ron choked on his food, while Hermione sat there, shocked. As for me...my heart shattered more.
But I pretended not to be sad.

"That's great, isn't it?" I said.
Harry chuckled nervously and nodded.

Isabelle's POV
Malfoy took me to the Astronomy Tower and there was silence between us.
Until he broke the silence.

"So, um...I heard you reject every guy in Hogwarts." he said.
"Hehe, yeah." I said.

Then silence again.
"You know---" we said it together.

Then we started laughing.
"You first." I said.
"No, you go first." he said.

"Nope, you said it first." I said.

"Hahaha, okay. So, I want to ask you---" I cut him off.
"No."

"What? You didn't let me finish." he said.
"Because I know what you're going to say." I said.

Let's see how he reacts to this. I thought.

"Why?" he asked.
"Because, Malfoy...I'm waiting for someone who will ask me." I replied.

He sighed, sadly. While I was trying not to laugh my butt off.
"I'm too late, huh? Well, whoever asked you...that guy is lucky." he said.

He was about to leave until....
"At least you can ask me...properly." I said.

He stopped mid-way to the stairs and turned to me.
"What?" he asked.

I giggled.
"Ask me properly, Mr. Malfoy. Maybe I can change my mind."

He smirked and slowly walked up to me.
He then held my hand, sending sparks.

Sparks? I thought.

"Well then, Miss Isabelle Lee. Will you be honored to be my date?" he asked.
I giggled at his royalty mood.

"Yes. I'd be honored."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~
Draco's POV
"Well then, Miss Isabelle Lee. Will you be honor to be date?" I asked.

She let go a giggle. I just love her giggle so much.

"Yes. I'd be honored." she replied.

YES!!! I thought.

~Slytherin Common Room~
"She said yes?! What?!" Blaise exclaimed.
"I can't believe it as well. But it worked." I said.

Blaise chuckled.
"See. Like I told you, you never know what's going to happen."

I chuckled as well.
"Yeah."

After the ball...I'm going to try my best. I'm going to give it all. To make Belle to be mine. And mine only.
~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Erika's POV
"You what?!" Hermione exclaimed.
"So, you're telling me that Malfoy asked you to the Ball?" I asked.

Belle smiled and nodded.
"Belle, I thought you hated him." I said.
"I used to, but....something just happened. But at least be happy that I finally got one." Belle said.

I sighed at that.

"She does have a point." Hermione said.

I sighed at that.

Maybe Malfoy isn't that bad after all. I thought.
