"Mr.Weasley do you think something is funny" Mcgonagull called her voice echoing through the room. We were separated into two seating arrangements; one side girl one side boy. Professor had been talking about the dance for a while now and the majority of the girls were itching to get up and do it, i was not one of them. "Erm no Professor" Ron gulped.
"Good you can come and show everyone how to do it then, come here" She insisted. He looked at her bright red. and said in a small voice "me?".. She smiled and nodded her he'd beckoning him over, he stood and slowly walked over to her, "right hand on my waist please Mr.Weasley". Ron looked down at her waist and then pleadingly back at Harry as if he could do something. An array of sniggers came from around the room, Harry whispered over to George and Fred but i couldn't quite hear what it was. "Y-y-you're waist?" Ron stuttered. Mcgonagull grabbed his arm and placed it down on her waist "yes Mr.Weasley i do have one you know". Filch started playing a large record and ballroom music came on, the professor guided Ron following the correct footsteps. "Now ladies and gentlemen all stand and find a partner i expect to see you following the correct steps" she shouted over the music. The noise of standing feet came quickly from the girls side, everyone of them had stood. "Lucy come on you have to get up" Ginny whisper shouted down to me. Unwilling i stood up to look for a partner, the majority of the boys side were still sat apart from Neville and a couple of others. Ginny walked over to Neville shyly and held her hand out, sweetly he smiled and took it. Awkwardly girls swayed around with no one to dance with. I huffed and pushed through the group of girls swaying. "Harry Potter will you get up and dance with me" i proclaimed about two meters from the boys benched. He paused for a minute everyone staring at him as though i asked him to dive into the pits of hell. "Please" i mouthed without anyone seeing. He stood from the bench and bowed to me, "Honoured to" he laughed.
Harry and i spent the next half an hour joking about, when we realised we would be dancing in front of the whole school that's when we tried to seriously nail the dance. After another hour and a half of practicing we were completely worn out. Professor Mcgonagull announced that in preparation for the ball or last two classes would be cancelled , meaning i still had defence against the dark arts. People started to head out through the doors to the great hall. I found Ginny and we walked together, "So you and Harry?" Ginny asked curiously. "Me and harry?" i laughed at the thought of it "No never we are always just going to be close friends". She nodded her head and smiled at the ground. Suddenly i got a hunch that she wasn't just asked out of curiosity but i decided to not push it. "Neville?" i questioned her. She smiled at me "Yea he's sweet but not my type exactly". I nodded my head and we carried our way on to the great hall chatting.
I had been sat down at the table for a while with Ginny and Ron, Harry and Hermione were no where to be found. Ginny and i were halfway through eating till the three of them rushed into the hall quickly taking a seat. "And where on earth have you three been" i challenged them. Harry pushed the hair back out of his face "we have been looking for a potion or a charm or something, the next round of the competition is going to be underwater; for an hour and i need something to help me breathe for so long". I screwed my face up in thought, Hermione began "We can't find anything and we have only got two days". Ron didn't say anything but sighed in agreement. "I have a few herbology books in my room later on i'll bring them up and we can have a look at them before the ball, surely there's something in there" i explained. The three of them seemed to calm down slightly once i said it. I peered over at the Slytherin table to try find Blaise, he wasn't anywhere as far i could see. "I'll be two minutes guys i just need to do something" i stood from the table and walked over to slytherin. Pansy stared at me as if i wasn't allowed within the same room as them. I looked down the table and saw no Blaise. I sighed knowing my only option. "Bellamy shouldn't you be back over there with your kind" A cold voice came from behind me. There was my only option. "Actually Malfoy i was looking for someone, and unfortunately i can't find them which leaves me with you" i tried to say it in a kinder type of voice but it definitely didn't come out as nice i hoped it would. He looked up and down at me smugly "What do you want Bellamy" he sneered. "Snape's homework, i haven't done any of it and i really need help with it" my voice changed from a hiss to a plead. He looked behind me at the table and i heard laughter come from other Slytherins. "Why would i help you" he took a step closer and sneered down at me. Whenever he came close to me i felt so uncomfortable yet comfortable at the same time. "Please?" my voice came out small.
"No"he hissed.
"Please Malfoy, if not i can't go to the ball, i'm seriously begging you" i was pleading with him.
"No means no bellamy" he turned his back on me and walked away. That boy infuriates me. "You're such a prick" i shouted at his back. He turned around just to flash me a careless smirk. I stormed back off to the Gryffindor table and pulled out ink and parchment. I scribbled down words that once all in a sentence probably didn't make any sense. "Erm Lucy what are you doing?" Ron chimed in.
"I have dark arts homework and Malfoy wouldn't help me with it and i have twenty minutes until it needs handing in and i have no idea what on earth i'm going to do!" i ranted. Neville answered my rant "actually you have ten minutes now". I sighed with dread, i can always go to the yule ball next year. I placed my forehead on the edge of the table.
In the last ten minutes i managed to fill one sheet of parchment with blotched ink sprawled all over it, i haven't even read it through i'm not particularly sure it makes any sense. I managed to get myself to the class on time and of course Malfoy was already sat there talking to Daphne across our desk. I strode over pretending that i wasn't about to cry because i wasn't going to be able to go to the ball. I sat down and got out my blotchy parchment and folded it over in embarrassment that someone was actually going to see it. Malfoy looked at me from the corner of his eye and then continued to make Daphne blush and giggle. "So class i'm presuming you have all got your homework with you today, if not we shall discuss punishment later" Snape walked through the middle of the desks his robes dragging along the floor behind him. I gulped hard, i think i'd be in more bother if i showed him my rushed half hearted attempt at the homework then nothing at all. Snaps called names from the front picking on people spontaneously. Blaise sat in front of me leaning back on his chair, i suddenly wished i had tried harder to find him earlier. There were only a few people left in the class to choose from and everyone had done their work, i was going to be the only one not attending the ball this year by the looks of it. "Mr.Malfoy" Snape called tone dead. Draco looked up from the desk and a smirk slightly raised in the corner of his mouth before clearing his throat "Bellamy and i did it after hours he both thought it we researched together we could get more done" he remarked. I shot my eyes down at his collection of what must of been ten pages, to see the words written on in perfect handwriting, 'Draco Malfoy+Lucy Bellamy'. My heart jumped up and down at the fact he bothered to save me from Snape. Snape looked at his work coldly and nodded his head before turning to the next person. "Why did you do that?" i whispered shocked. "I don't do nice things often, id prefer a thank you" he muttered back to me. I smiled at him for the first time in a long time "Thank you". For a moment i swear he was about to smile too, but he didn't he moved his head to look around the class room avoiding looking at me.
I'll never understand what happens inside Draco Malfoy's head.
