I'm so glad you guys like the book!!!! All the amazing comments made me SO HAPPY!! Guys I literally CANNOT describe my happiness, so I'll just show it by giving you more (hopefully) good chapters. I also love your critique because it helps me improve my writing. Now I'll shut up so you can continue reading haha:)

The sun filtered in through the windows. I slowly opened my eyes. I had slept wonderfully the night before. I tried stretching but found my self incapable of doing so. Someone's arm was wrapped around me, and I blushed realizing, I was doing the same. I gently pushed Draco off of me and sat up, rubbing my eyes. 

He shifted and woke up too. "Are you okay?" He asked in his groggy morning voice. His hair was disheveled and he still didn't have a shirt on. At first I was confused, why wouldn't I be okay, then the events of the night washed over me. "Blaise." I said. He nodded, getting up and stretching. "He-" "He's taken care of." Draco interrupted. His silver eyes were harsh and cold, anger practically rolling off of him. I got out of bed and walked up to him. 

"Draco...What did you do to him?" I questioned him. He ignored my question, grabbing my wrist, checking my pulse, then putting his hand on my forehead checking my temperature. His brows furrowed and he walked over to a cabinet rummaging inside. He took out a vial and handed it to me. "Drink." He said. "What, why-" He sighed, opening the vial and bringing it close to my mouth. I let him pour the contents inside. He walked back and closed the cabinet door. He grabbed a robe and handed it to me. "Your robe." I took it from him, slightly speechless. Was Draco Malfoy being...nice?

I sat on the bed as he pulled on a t-shirt and sat beside me. The tension was palpable so I decided to ask a general question. "So, do you have a date to the Yule Ball?" I asked. He leaned back, smirking and raised his eyebrow. "Is that your way of asking me?" He asked. I rolled my eyes. "You wish, Draco." I answered. "That I do." He muttered. "What?" I asked even though I heard him and was trying desperately to not blush. He shrugged trying to change the subject. "Since when did you start calling me Draco?" I opened my mouth and paused. I don't know. He chuckled and stood up.

"Do you always have nightmares." I tensed thinking I'd gone too far. He leaned against a wall. "At least a couple times a week." "Oh." I didn't really have anything more to say. "It did make it better that you were there." He quietly said. I leaned back until my eyes landed on the clock. "Oh my god." I stood up. "What-" I interrupted him by rushing to the door. "See you later." I shouted back.

It was already 12:00! I had promised my friends I'd meet them in the Great Hall at 12:30 to go dress shopping. I wore jeans and a green sweater. I put on my robe. It smelled of Draco's cologne. I rolled my eyes, hopefully none of them would realize. I grabbed a purse and realized the sleeves were a lot bigger. Either I shrunk over night or this wasn't my robe. I huffed, I didn't have time to dawdle. 

I ran to the Great Hall, panting as I reached my friends. "What happened to you?" Ginny asked. "Woke up late." I said. Technically it was true. They seemed slightly unconvinced but we went on. As we walked , my friends started whispering. "Did you hear what happened to Blaise." I was instantly intrigued. "What?" I asked. Cho's face darkened. "He's in the hospital wing. He randomly turned up there around midnight last night. He was bruised up. His jaw broken, his ribs cracked. But when Madam Pomfrey asked who did it, he didn't answer. He's going to be there for more than a week." 

The others continued talking but I zoned out. The same Draco that gently took care of me did...that? I shivered at the thought of the same soft hands that checked my pulse were the ones that almost killed Blaise. Draco was not who I thought he was. We came to the store and everyone started looking around. I was looking at green dresses because...well...Slytherin, but a red one caught my eye. I walked up to it. 

You can imagine your own dress but if you like simple ones, it can look something like this

But totally up to you!

I fell in love immediately with the dress. I tried it on and purchased it. As we were walking back Luna walked next to me. "Y/N, your robe smells funny, and I don't remember it having 'D.M' written on it." She stated. I looked down realizing it had D.M. embroidered below the Slytherin patch. I sighed, trying to come up with some excuse. She gave a small laugh. "Don't worry your secret's safe with me." She winked. I smiled. What did I do to deserve friends like this?

The Yule Ball is going to have a little bit of drama, I'm so excited to write about it.
