I went to the 6th floor, cried there. What did I do? Is this who I really am? I brought my knees to my chest and sighed. It really isn't a great day or month. Why cant I just get one day, one day to be normal?

"Everything alright in there?" Myrtle hovers over the stalls, watching me cry.

"No." I whispered. She walks through the stall and sits next to me. "I really like this boy. I wanted him to ask me to the ball. But all Draco said not to go with Cedric." I sniffed. "Then, a girl burned my dress, and slapped her in front of everyone." I heard footsteps running in. I got on top of the toilet.

"Daphne?" I heard someone call me. I didn't say a word. "Are you in here?"

"She might be a the tower." Then they left. I went back to Myrtle. I saw two feet on the other side. Then a head. It was Lisa. She knew my spot.

"What happened?" I told her everything, to Cedric to Draco and to Pansy.

"I might as well not go." I banged my head on the wall. "Why do bad things happen to me?" Myrtle stayed quiet.

"Dont say that." Lisa said as she sat next to me. I laid my head on her shoulder. "He shouldn't have said that. Pansy can shove off." It made Daphne laugh. It was cute to see Lisa trying to be mean.

Later in the night I snuck back into the dorms. I woke up the next morning early and went to my fathers. I explained that Pansy burned the dress Katherine gave me, I slapped her and I might not be going to the ball. I left out the Draco part since I dont want him to hate him any more than he already has.

"She can miss out on the ball." He suggested. I didnt say a word. "Daphne?"

"I dont care. She'll tell one of the professors that I slapped her and I wont be going. Like i care." I huffed as I tied my tie. I started laughing, confusing my father. "Sorry." I tried to stop. "It just felt so good." He shakes his head. "God i had that bottled up for years!" I grabbed my books. "Come along, we got a test to go to." My father stood up and we walked to the hall for test. I sat down. Draco sat next to me, but a few feet apart.

"Pst." I ignored him. "Pst!"

"What!" I hushed. I shot my head up at him. My father walked around, keeping an eye on us. Draco slides a bit over. He slides a case. "No." I slid it back. "Dont bribe me!" He sighs.

"Im not trying to bribe you." My father smacks him in the head.

"No talking." He waits for my father to leave.

"No. You know im not good with words. Listen." He stops as my father came back. "Im sorry for what I said. I never, in a million years, would ever hurt you. Daphne..."

"You can-" my father shoves my head into the book. I growled.

"Im sorry Daphne, really. The real intention is that I really do want to go with you."

"Is that after I told you that I wanted to go with you?" I whispered loudly. I got up, handed my test to my father and walked away. Draco wrote down some nonsense and followed her.

"Daphne wait. Please." He gently touches her arm. Daphne turns around. "It wasn't my place to say that yesterday. One chance." He hands the small box to me. "Go to the ball with me and this is a gift." My heart did its thing. My cheeks turned red. I opened the box and reviled a necklace, it had a silver chain attached with a small green rock. I looked back at him. "Please. If you dont want to go with me, fine. Ill leave you alone." I didn't want that. I didn't want him to leave me.

"Okay." I nodded. His face lit up. "Dont make me regret this."

"Good. Great." He smiles at me. "I promise you wont."
