D-day finally arrived at the Yule Ball is set to happen later tonight. We all had to postpone our way to go back home until the morning the next day.
Sadly, Gabriel didn't want to come along with the rest of us. Madame Maxime decided to place a protection charm on her room so no one would dare to intrude on her. Even if Fleur and I insisted for her to come, she still refused. Fleur, on the other hand, was going with this Ravenclaw student...Roger Davis was his name, from what I recall.
"Oh my you're all so beautiful!" Madame Maxime remarked happily. She turned to look at every student, as if she was a proud mother, admiring all of her children in their best dresses. It was until, she noticed one missing.
"Wait, wait, where is Clarity?" She asks, now allof them turned to their heads left and right. Looking around for where their second youngest addition is.
"I am here!" I spoke, a wide smile painted on my lips as I dashed out of the door, smoothing the skirt of my dress.
I'm wearing the gown that I bought when I came along with Pansy to Hogsmeade. The same still baby blue dress with lace and buttons. I had the ends of my hair curled and let it cascade down my back, looking like an elegant flow. While I was doing my makeup, I had finished a more natural look, emphasizing my eyes more.
"Magnifique!" Madame Maxime whispered as all of their eyes were glued on to me. I smiled and did a little curtsy at them, pleased with their reactions. As we left our cottage cabin, Madame Maxime led us towards the Great Hall. But I wanted to show off a little more. Everyday isn't a Yule Ball day.
And just as I have expected, I found Blaise with Pansy in his arm.
I walked up to them and asked "Have you seen Draco?"
"Went to the loo with Crabbe and Goyle. You look fine yourself, Carpentier." Blaise grinned.
I quickly ascended up the stairs and hid behind the cobblestone walls, I told Blaise and Pansy to pretend that they have not yet spotted me. I took a little peak and spotted Draco's back. I took that as my cue to come out and descend down the stairs.
As I slowly made my way down the stairs, I could feel their eyes on me. But I only locked mine wih his blue eyes. They were the only pair of eyes that I want to lay down on.
"She's beautiful" I heard Hermione whisper to Viktor's ear.
Draco walked forward, towards me and gave me his arm. I placed my hand on his and we entered the Great Hall together.
The first ones to dance were the champions. Soon enough, everyone started to bring their partner's in the middle and danced as well.
Pansy's POV
Pair by pair they all left the hall and went to God knows where. A few people stayed in the dance floor, slow dancing to the love song being played by the band. My eyes glued to my two best friend who were slowly waltzing in the middle.
"What did I say, they look perfect." I smiled as I spoke to Blaise, sitting beside me.
"The back of my mind always told me that it was Carpentier who he liked. Bluffing about it in Hogsmead before." I raised an eyebrow in disbelief before Blaise nodded his head. Chuckling softly as I turned to face the two again. "He's finally warming up to a girl."
Draco had led me out of the Great Hall and we went into the Room of Requirement again. We took a seat in the couch as we started to warm up ourselves in front of the fireplace.
"Okay, try this one. Love."
"Lobe. Luve. Love."
"One more"
"Love. Love. Love."
He grins at me and slowly scoots closer, leaning forward to me.
"Would you try and say I love you?"
"I love you. I love you. I love you." I smiled at him. The corners of his lips slowly curled upwards at me.
"Please say it again" He asks.
"I love you." I repeated once more.
"I couldn't hear you. What was that again?" He asks, his face a few inches away from mine already.
"I said I love you, Draco." I whispered.
At that moment, we were succumbed to the silence between us. His hot breath sending shivers down my back, his finger tips grazing mine on top of the couch and our eyes locked together. Staring at each other's eyes, he leaned in once more as his lips finally placed mine.
I had to remind myself that it was real. His lips and this day. I didn't have to think twice as I kissed him back. They were gentle and soft that it drove me crazy how someone as handsome as him could have this kind of lips when probably half of the girls in his school would want to kiss him. But I guess I could say that I am lucky to be able to taste them first.
He slowly pulled away and we locked our eyes into each other once more.
"That was my first kiss." I whispered to him.
"That was my first too, love." He whispers back. We both noticed something from above our heads. And so we both looked up to see a mistletoe forming on top of our heads. I chuckled softly and looked back at him. He was already looking at me. And once more, we shared a kiss.
