hurt | d. malfoy

eleven

the night drew on, everyone laughing and having a good time.

around eleven, seamus and jordan left the dance floor and got some punch, laughing about silly things.

"i don't think i can dance anymore jj." seamus laughed as they sat down, holding punch glasses.

"it'll be fun!" she giggled but he shook his head.

"sorry jj, but i think i might turn in for the night, it's already late." he told her making her nod.

"fair enough, i guess i'll see you tomorrow."she said, giving him a smile as they stood up and hugged.

she sent him a wave as he left, looking out at the still semi-crowded dance floor and took a sip of her drink.

"hey, jones, was that finnigan i just saw making out with a hufflepuff in the hallway?" pansy asked, a giant smirk on her face as she skipped in, draco following her.

"what?" she asked, frowning, draco unattaching his hand from pansy and sitting down next to jordan.

pansy just rolled her eyes and continued out to the dance floor.

"yeah, finnigan was out in the hall snogging some hufflepuff. sorry jones." he said and she shrugged.

"he's my friend, besides, it's his life." jordan shrugged, taking a sip out of her punch.

draco rolled his eyes and took her punch and pulled her up.

"no no no, malfoy." she whined making him smile.

"come on, it's just a fun song." he laughed, making her grin.

they both danced, jordan laughing at draco's dance moves.

soon, a slow song came on and jordan blushed a little.

"we don't have to dance." she muttered and he shook his head.

"shut up and dance." he said, rolling his eyes and taking her waist.

she put her arms around his neck, still a little difficult even though she had heels on.

they danced to the whole song, the dance floor emptying as the song continued.

"well that was fun malfoy, but i think it's time to head out." jordan said, looking around at the people left.

"you're right." he sighed, taking his hands off her waist.

they walked by neville longbottom dancing with ginny weasley and jordan smiled.

"they're cute." she whispered to draco and he rolled his eyes.

"they're gryffindors." he grumbled and she shrugged.

"for one night, i'm putting aside house prejudices. they're still cute." she said smiling.

draco just shook his head, "the hufflepuffs are rubbing off on you." he muttered and she smacked him.

they argued down to the common room, entering only to be greeted by an angry pansy.

"i'm just going to leave you with that." jordan laughed, bouncing off to her room.

once she got in, she closed the door and sighed, leaning on it.

she figured daphne would be with blaise for the night and jackie with her hufflepuff, leaving the room to herself.

she slipped out of her dress and undid her hair, not feeling the party mood anymore. she changed into something more comfortable and went to the bathroom, washing her face and brushing her teeth.

she changed into her night gown and sat on her bed, a book in front of her.

just as she was starting to read, there was a knock on her door.

"hey jones, i brought cookies my mum sent." draco said, coming in.

"oh yay, cookies!" the girl laughed, beckoning him over.

the two sat on the bed, eating the treats before the clock starting chiming twice.

"oh, it's late, i should probably get back to my room." draco said and jordan nodded.

"yeah, thanks though. for tonight i mean." she told him and he nodded.

"of course, it was fun. although, you could've done so much better than that gryffindor." he said, his lips turning into a sneer at the thought of seamus.

"he's nice, once you get to know him." jordan laughed as he nodded, sending her one last smile.

but, just as he got out to the hallway, he turned around and smiled.

"happy christmas jones." he said.

"happy christmas malfoy."

and with that, he shut the door and she turned off the light, falling into a nice sleep.

in the morning, jordan woke up to snow and daphne jumping on her, her hair still wet.

"happy christmas jj!" she giggled, sliding off and moving to her trunk, pulling out a package for her friend.

"happy christmas daph." jordan smiled in return, reaching over to her nightstand and getting the little wrapped box for daphne.

the two girls swapped presents and opened them.

"oh jj, this is gorgeous." daphne said, holding up a small, silver locket with engravings of vines on it.

jordan smiles at her before turning to her present, assortments of perfumes and lotions.

"thanks daph, i love it!" jordan exclaimed, reaching over to hug her friend.

once they let go, jordan got out of bed, hurrying over to the bathroom and doing her business in there.

"you know what would be fun?" daphne asked, coming in after jordan has washed her face.

"what?" she asked, patting it dry.

"we should make a truth serum and give it to people." she grinned wickedly and jordan smiled.

"i really like that idea."

"and this is why we're in slytherin."
