Metamorphmagus (Draco Malfoy x Reader)

9

The next day, Professor McGonall announces the Yule Ball officially. Jude and Lilly both get excited quickly.

"Lilly, girl. You have to ask Vincint. Merlin know he wont ask you." Jude says, poking at Lilly.

"What? Why would you think...?" Lilly starts.

Jude and I instantly start laughing and Jude jokes, "Your crush is more obvious then our snake charmer here."

"Seriously. You drool over the git on at lunch every day." I add in.

She hits me with her book and blushes, "I do not!"

"Ladies! It will do you well to pay attention. This waltz is a important tradition after all." Professor McGonall lectures.

Some of the boys on the other side of the room chuckle.

"Now then. Who will help me demonstrate the waltz?" She turns to the boys who all start looking appalled.

Then Ron mutters something to Harry.

"Ah! Mister Weasley. Thank you for the offer. Come!" She smirks.

After a short demonstration, the rest of us get on the floor and start to practice.

I grab Jude's hand and smirk playfully while bowing, "May I have this dance, my lady?"

She rools her eyes and does a soft courtsey. "What makes you choose me?"

"Well Lilly and and I are spoken for. But what about you?" I smirk as we start to dance smoothly.

"I have a Durmstrang boy I have been flirting with." She smirks.

"Little minx. Details." I smile at my best friend.

"He's the mysterious type. You know? Found him brooding in the Astronomy Tower and we just clicked." She smirks.

"Oh my. Does this mysterious boy have a name? After all, they are all in the realm of devilishly mysterious." I joke.

"Andrei... The fire breather from welcoming night..." She bites her lip.

"Girl, he is a seventh year!" I whisper yell.

She nods in reply.

"Very good dancing Miss Diggory, though I hope you don't intend to cause such a distraction to your fellow classmate." Professor McGonall says and motions behind me.

I look back to see Draco, dancing annoyed with Pansy, and obviously jealous of this Andrei character.

I can't help but to giggle.

After the dance lessons are over we part to our next classes.

"So who is this Andrei?" Draco asks as he walks up behind me.

"Jude's crush. Just girl talk." I shrug.

"You talk like that about me?" He questions and pulls me close.

"You wish." I tease and slip away, into my classroom.

He just shakes his head at me with a smirk.

The night if the Yule Ball comes fast as everyone quickly finds dates and receive last minute items for Christmas in the mail.

(This is the dress and heals I personally Invision)

I step out of the Hufflepuff common room and am greeted by Draco, who is dressed sharply in all black robes.

His eyes look me up and down with a smirk playing at his lips.

I blush, my hair turning pink for a moment. "I look ok?"

"You look ravishing." Draco says and holds out a small box. "But we can't forget, this is your birthday."

I smile brightly and take the box, gently opening it to reveal a beautiful emerald necklace.

"Draco..." I say softly then throw my arms around him.

He stands still a moment, almost frozen before hugging back and whispering, "We never showed this kind of affection in front of people... what are you doing..?"

"Showing my appreciation. Plus, you have been affectionate in front of my friends and when I was scared. Now I'm excited." I cheerily admit.

He smirks, "Well let us really show off. Would you like to wear the necklace?"

"Please, could you put it on me?" I ask and turn, gently moving my hair.

He hooks the clasp, gently trailing his fingers along my skin as he does, then he whispers into my ear, "Happy Birthday Princess."

I turn and smile at him, taking his hand in mine. "Thank you..."

He squeezes my hand lightly and leads me down to the Yule Ball, passing through the rose garden on the way.

During the opening dance a lot of Hogwarts students look utterly shocked at Draco and me.

He holds me almost flush to his body as we waltz perfectly in time with the music.

Smiles dawn both of our faces as we gaze into each others eyes.
