Moonlight (A Harry Potter fanfic)

The Yule Ball

It was the night of the dance and everyone was buzzing with excitement. Girls talked excitedly about their dresses or their dates and guys tried to look nice for their dates. Ron was completely nervous.
Ron just got dressed in his dress robes when he noticed Harry, too had dress robes on. Confused, he confronted Harry.
"You got a date?" Ron asked, surprised.
"Just a friend date. Hermione and I are going together. We want to see how your little girl drama turns out tonight." He laughed.
"It's not a drama. It's normal. I dated someone, I moved on, I'm dating someone new." Ron replied.
"Hey I'm just giving you a hard time." Harry said.

Ron went to the dance in search of Pam. He looked around until he spotted her. She looked beautiful. The dress looked even more beautiful on her. Her hair was put up in a complex braided bun and she had a black and white rose headband. She was looking around for Ron too.
"Hey," he caught up to her. "You look amazing.
"I was looking everywhere for you. Do you know how embarrassing it is to walk alone without a date, everyone thinks I'm a loser now." She was angry.
"No," Ron said, "no one thinks that. come on. Let's dance"

Loud music played and everyone started dancing. Harry and Hermione danced close to Ron to keep an eye on him. They were waiting for Something to happen. They knew Ron couldn't put up with Pam all night.
Slow music started playing and Ron was slow dancing with Pam.
They stood close and swayed to the music together. The moment felt right so when Pam rested her head on Ron's shoulder, he closed his eyes.
After the magical moment, Ron opened his eyes and saw Evelyn. She was sitting all alone. Her eyes met Ron's. She had been watching him the whole time. She had tears rolling down her eyes. But even so, she looked beautiful. She dressed up too even though she didn't have a date. She wore a long dress with purple and black layers, and rose patterns along the neckline and waist. Her hair was curled perfectly and she wore makeup for the first time Ron had seen.

This whole time Ron had hoped evelyn would see him with Pam and get jealous, but now that it happened he felt horrible. He needed to talk to her. She got up and ran out the door.
"Pam. I need to go."
"What!?" Pam got angry.
"There's something I need to take care of. I'm sorry." Ron said bravely.
Ron started walking after Evelyn.
Pam yelled at him now and everyone turned to look. But Ron just kept running. He had to fix this.
Harry said to Hermione, "see, I told you something would happen. There's no way he could've stayed with her all night." Pam was still yelling over the music and stomping her feet angrily. She looked like a child throwing a temper tantrum.
Ron left the ball in search of Evelyn.
