Next Year - A Hetalia USUK Harry Potter Fanfiction

Chapter 9: The Yule Ball

So my friend has been bugging me to death telling me to get on with the Yule Ball, so I'm currently abandoning (not for good of course) some of my other fanfictions so that I can get this done. If I'm as excited as you are, you've been waiting for this chapter for a long time. Sorry that I haven't been updating my others recently. I've been busy being a geek and doing geeky things (playing board games, watching marvel/DC movies, playing video games, etc)

HAPPY NEW YEAR           meeeeeee toooooooo  (bonus points if you know what anime that came from)

Letssss goooooo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What just happened, what just happened, what just happened? WHAT JUST HAPPENED? Did Alfred really just kiss me? Arthur thought as he was pulled into the great hall. Inside what he saw was beyond mesmerizing. It was breathtaking.

Magical snow glistened around everywhere, hitting the ground, but not adding a speck of white to the floor. A large dance floor had been set out for all to spin on and a table towards the back provided all the food and drink one's heart could desire. The ceiling was a clear, night sky with stars scattered all around - magic of course.

Hundreds of students <who where no longer dressed in the mostly black school robes, but in fancy dresses and dress robes> where mostly standing next to their significant other. Dancing, talking, eating, drinking - all activities that were performed at an excess.

Arthur's POV

Alfred tugs me by the arm and runs off into the crowd of dancers, pulling me out of my trance, into the liveliness of the young night. "W-what are you doing?" I ask him a little more nervously than I had rehearsed in my mind.

Of course I'm excited and crazy glad to be here, but now that it's actually happening, my heart starts racing and my palms are sweaty. What if I mess up? What if I make a fool of myself in front of my crush/boyfriend/BFF?

Alfred stops and catches me by the waist immediately causing my cheeks to heat up. "Chill out, dude! You look like you've just come across the mafia or somthin'" he chuckles.

I giggle (a very girly giggle may I add) and calm down a little. I've got nothing to fear. It's just Alfred. I'll be alright.

I place one hand on his shoulder and the other in his own, one of his hands still on my waist. I take a deep breath as a new song begins to play out of... where is this music even coming from?

A waltz. I can to that.

"You ready?" he asks me.

I just nod. That's all I can do.

Before I know it, I'm being brought to the right and I step along with the force known as Alfred. Thank God I practiced the girl part. The whole time I'm looking at his face, his eyes like every dancer should. I've been to countless classes and dances before to know how to do it correctly. But Alfred doesn't seem to be looking at me, but his feet. I silently chuckle. Maybe he doesn't know how to dance. I might have to take over.

1 2 3, 1 2 3, 1 2 3, 1 2 3  I count in my head, but the force I'm being pulled along with doesn't agree with it. He's off beat, badly. He trips on my shoe a couple of times and at one point completely stops moving altogether.

At this point he does look at my face and even though it's handsome as hell, it's as pink as Shelly's lips. "I'm sorry." he says awkwardly. He's obviously embarrassed ( when I first wrote it, I wrote "obviosuly embarrest" like a total noob wtf is wrong with me) and it's really cute.

"I'll lead if you want me to." I suggest.

"Alright. As long as I'm still doing the guy part," he continues blushing.

I nod and listen to the slow song, at one point finding the down beat and starting after it. I step to the right as he follows by stepping to the left. And so on and so forth. 

1 2 3, 1 2 3, 1 2 3, 1 2 3

I smile. Genuinely. Here I was thinking that Alfred was so great. When in reality, he was a big dork with no talent whatsoever. Or at least with dancing. Does he have a sense of rhythm? Obviously not but oh well. I still love him.

Wait, did I just say that?

Did I just say that I love him?

Not out loud of course but did I really just say that? Or think that?

"You look nice when you smile." remarks Alfred, bringing me out of my own thoughts.

"Uhh, thanks." Really Arthur? Really? 'uhh, thanks'? You could've at least said 'you too' or something. Dumbass.

Alfred just laughs and twirls me around as if he's leading. I laugh as well.

He somehow takes the lead this time and he isn't failing miserably. Good for him. What am I his mom?

As the song begins coming to a close I don't even realize that our eyes have been locked for over a minute.

(MY DUDES THIS IS TOO GOOD I'M NO JOKE CRYING I LOVE THIS TOO MUCH AND I SHOULDN'T)

"Let's go sit down. I'm craving chocolate!" Alfred tells me and before I have time to respond, he's pulling the two of us to where the food is being served.

OK

THIS

LOOKS

AMAZING

Chocolate muffins, brownies, ice cream, cream puffs, mini cakes, jello, fruit, macaroons, basically any sweet you could think of. All of them, right here on this table. My mouth is visibly watering, but I didn't get the worst of it. Alfred looks like he's about to eat all of it. And he might just do that.

Before I know it, his plate is filled with sweets and chocolates of all kinds. He stuffs a few brownie balls into his mouth and motions over to the punch on a separate table.

I laugh as I say, "I'll get some for us you dork,"

He really is a dork.

I love Alfred the dork.

Yeah. I do.

That dork.

That dork.

That dork.

MY DUUUUUDESSSSS!!!!!! THAT WAS AWESOME! There will most definitely be a Part 2 to this chapter since you know... I can't stop loving it! I love this fanfic too much for words to express.

ANYWAY GUYS~~~ Woah, I feel like I actually made some progress today. I finished this chapter, a chapter for my Spamano fanfic and an author's note on my Pruhun fanfic! That's pretty good for a lazy bean like me.

Remember: Romano loves you! <3
