Sorry if this is really bad but I made it at night and I really wanted it to be done. Hope you like it anyway :) I tried to make it so it didn't matter what house you are in but... That kinda hard. So I tried. Hopefully it's ok! hope it made you UWU


It was a cold December day. You were sitting in your dormitory looking outside admiring the white snow falling lightly on the grass. The whole yard was perfectly covered in the snow. Until a tall boy walked right in the middle of it. You couldn't see who it was specifically. But from the silver and green scarf. It must be a Slytherin. So not really someone you were familiar with. The tall boy sat down in the middle of the yard on a log that was covered in the snow. You decided to go outside and see what was happening. Normally people stay inside on a winter day cuz it is too cold. You took your (house name) scarf on, your jacket and your shoes, and went out the dormitory. When you reached the yard the boy was no longer sitting on the log but passing back and forth. He was mumbling something. And you realized that it was Draco Malfoy. Suddenly you didn't want to go outside anymore. You had only taken two steps into the snow, but knowing that Draco was there. made you feel sick. Draco wasn't sincerely nice to you. He teased you a lot. Cuz you weren't a (real) Slytherin. You just stared at him walking back and forth, trying to find out what he was saying to himself. Suddenly he looked up, he was shooked. His eyes where wide open and hip mouth what a little open too. You quickly turned around but before you could go inside, a soft voice yelled your name.

"Hey (y/n), Can you- we talk for a-a bit" he stuttered. I turned back around and walked over to him. we sat down onto the log at the same time. complete silence.

"well go on then" You were getting frustrated. you had things to do. It isn't every day you have a day of classes.

"oh- yea- uhmm i-i was thinking- if you...." He didn't finish his sentence. He just looked at his feet.

"Yeees?"

"I was just wondering if-if you maybe- maybe.. wantedtogotothechristmasballwithme..."

"what?" He looked up at me. With his icy grey eyes, and looked back down.

"I was just wondering. If you.. wanted to go to the ball with... me" 'What in the world. Draco Malfoy. Asked ME to go to the ball with HIM? No, this isn't real. Draco hates me! He doesn't want anything to do with me. And he is- he is just- Malfoy. If people saw me with The Draco Malfoy. They would be confused too.' You thought to yourself You couldn't understand how a person like Malfoy wanted to go to th ball with person like you.

"Draco-"

"I understand if you don't wanna go. I have said really bad things in the past, and I am really sorry. I just- I don't know" He looked down at his feet and he was fumbling with his hands.

"why me. I mean I just don't under-"

"Cuz I like you" Draco Looked up at you and looked directly into your (y/e/c) eyes. Draco stood up. He was irritated.

"nevermind" didn't expect an answer anyway" Draco started to walk away swinging his scarf over his right sholder.

"DRACO WAIT!" you stood up and walked after Draco. He stopped and turned around.

"ok, I will go to the Christmas ball with you" You didn't know what you were doing. But your mind said this was the right thing. And so did your heart.

"Really?" He came a little closer. Looking you deeply in your eyes. He smirked and gave a little grin, and looked down at his feet again. His eyes where mesmerizing. The grey eyes with an icy blue tint made you think why you even contemplating to say no. You couldn't stop looking at his eyes.

"see you Friday then" he gave a smile and walked out of the yard and inside. Brushing off all the snow that had been falling down on him while you were talking.

~~~~~~~~

It was now Friday And you had putten the gift from your parent(s) on. It was a black (dress/suit) You had told your parent(s) who you were going with and they had made sure that my outfit would math Dracos. There was a little dark green colour sown into the back beautifully. It was 8:50 pm. The ball starts at 9 pm so you had to hurry a little bit. You looked in the mirror one last time and walked out your dormitory. The great hall was beautiful. There were carol singers, nearly headless nick was dressed up and Santa Claus and finally the enchanting sky was snowing. Immediately Dean Thomas' eye caught you. Dean had previously asked you to be his date but turned him down since you knew a friend of your liked him. I walked over to Harry and we talked for a while. Harrys date was dancing with someone else. But Harry didn't seem to mind.

It was now 9:20 and Draco still hadn't shown up. You knew it was a mistake to say yes. it was probably a joke. So he could go around the whole school and say that you had a crush on Draco. You had avoided the question of who your date was since he wants there. And mainly because it was Draco and people would look at you guys. You and Harry were just watching the others dance and have fun while both your dates had turned you down.

"You want some punch?" Harry sighed. Still looking at his date dancing with someone else. You nodded and rested you read in your hands. All this just for nothing. This (suit/dress) was a waste of money, and it was a waste of time to even come here. Harry walked up to the food table and took two cups and filled them up. The blue punch was made of blueberrys and blackberries. Harry came tumbling back with one cup in each hand. And just as Harry was about to give you the punch. Draco walked into the hall searching for you. He quickly ran over to you and took your hand and dragged you away from Harry. You two running through the hall hand in hand. was not what your plan for the night.

"I am so so so sorry" Draco stopped and took both your hands in his. He looked worried and was looking around a lot. like he was being followed

"I told my dad that you were my date. And he wasn't happy! I have to run. He is after me"You didn't understand. And looked very confused, as Draco was about to explain. 2 Shadows came around the corner. And Drac took your hand. And ran. You went up to the astronomy tower and hoped that they wouldn't come up there. You were still super confused. Draco looked frightened something none has seen him before. He held both of your hands and looked you deeply in the eyes. He was out of breath. Making him breathe heavily with his mouth open.

"I am not sure. But as he heard your last name he sounded mad" Draco said. And now you remember that Lucius has a bad relationship with your (mom/dad/parent) And Lucius probably wasn't happy that the (son/daughter/kid) of (Mr/miss) (y/l/n) was dating his son.

A thot cam from below you and you could see a through the floor. Lucius was standing with two other death eaters. In front of them was Dumbledore.

"Lucius. You are not allowed on the grounds of Hogwarts. And nor are you two" Dumbledore was pointing his wand up to Lucius and the death eaters face. Lucius looked at the wand. Dumbledor had already unarmed the death eaters and Lucius.

"Leave," Dumbledore said. Putting his wand under Lucius' chin. Making Lucius gulp and taking both deatheaters sleeves and fled before Dumbledore could do anything.

Draco Was still looking down. He looked scared and looked like he was about to cry. You walked over to him a hugged him. Since that seemed like the right thing to do. You hugged for a while. The tall boy had wrapped his arms tightly around you and dug his head into your shoulder. You could tell he was crying.

"im so sorry," Said still crying into your shoulder.

"Don't be," I said rubbing his back, trying to comfort him.

"this is not what I wanted. I wanted this night to be perfect" He hugged you even tighter. Almost lifting you up from the ground.

"You wanted it to be perfect?" You pulled away and looked at him still holding his back and he was still holding your waist. He looked down. Like he was embarrassed that he cried in front of you. His beautiful silver was now red and full of tears. He slowly nodded in response.

"well, It worked" you sais slowly. draco looked up at you And gave you a smile. Not a smirk. A general smile. Formed around his lips. He was just a boy, who wanted to be loved.
