Chapter 51

Yule Ball

Ginny stood above me as she curled my hair lightly, Hermione stood in front of me doing my makeup "you're so pretty!" she gushed and I rolled my eyes "coming from you" I retorted and she laughed lightly, "you're finished, now go get changed!" Hermione pulled me up and pushed me towards the bathroom. I slipped on my dress "Hermione? Ginny?" I called out and the two girls entered the bathroom "I can't zip it up, help please?" I swooped my hair away from my back and Ginny moved forward zipping it up quickly, Hermione handed me my small handbag and my silver shawl, I smiled turning to face them, they both gasped "oh my merlin!" "you look gorgeous!" they gushed and I smiled, "you two look beautiful". "I'll go first" Ginny walked out of the room and we waited a few moments, Hermione went next, and after a minute or two I left the room.

(Name) began walking down the stairs, she held her dress in her hands as the sound of her heels echoes, everyone's eyes shot to her. Her hair fell across her shoulders, it was silky and swayed with her movement. Her eyes glistened in the soft light, and her skin looked as if it belonged to a doll, Her features complemented by the soft makeup Hermione had done earlier. She smiled brightly as she reached the bottom of the steps "Ron, Harry you two look dashing" she grinned and turned to Padma and Parvati, "you two look beautiful" she praised, "y-you look divine" Harry stuttered, "angelic" Ron added and (Name) giggled "thank you boys- oh there's William bye bye now!" she waved at her friends, she walked off her shawl hung loosely on her upper arm, the four stared after her "if only we looked like her" Padma sighed watching as (Name) linked arms with Wiliam and they took off towards the ball during heads as they went.

(Name) stood by Williams side, their arms linked as they watched the champions dance, Harry was struggling terribly and the (h/c)ed girl tried her best not to laugh, soon enough Dumbledore and McGonagall joined in, Mr Filch and his cat, Hagrid and Madame Maxime, "May I have this dance?" William stuck out his hand "you may" she replied and they laughed as he leads her to the dance floor, they swayed to the song her eyes shot around curiously Mad-Eye sits on the sidelines drinking by his lonesome. The music had changed from a slow song to a much after upbeat son and she glanced around again, Harry, Ron and the Patil twins sat on the sidelines watching everyone, the two girls clearly mad at Ron and Harry. "If you'll excuse me" she smiled to William who nodded and allowed her to walk towards the three, Pavarti had just left to go dance with a Hufflepuff boy. she sat between the two boys, "you look merry" she laughed at the two who groaned, Hermione came towards them "Hot isn't it? Viktor's gone to get drinks. Care to join us?" she smiled Happily at them, "of cour-" (Name) began, "No, we'd NOT care to join you and Viktor." Ron hissed, "what's got your wand in a knot" Hermione laughed sitting beside Harry, Padma stood up and left, "He's a Durmstrang. You're fraternising with the enemy." Ron rolled his eyes and Hermione shot up, "The enemy?? Who was it wanting his autograph? Besides, the whole point of the tournament is international magical cooperation, to make friends." Hermione snarled at the boy "I think he has a bit more than friendship in mind" Ron folded his arms and Hermione stormed off, "Not very nice Ron, You can sit here, alone. Harry come dance with me" (Name) demanded as she stood and held her hand out in front of the boy, he nodded and jumped up almost taking the girl out. He grasped her hand and practically ran into the crowd of dancing teens, the song slowed, "I don't know how to do this" Harry looked worried and (Name) smiled friendly at him, she grabs his hand and puts one on her waist and grasps his other one intertwining them, "relax harry" she beamed as she leads him around the floor "1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3" Harry was slowly but surely getting the hang of it, "now spin" and he panicked and spun her extremely fast she let out small laughs, as he reeled her back in. "How are you so good at this?" he asked her in amazement, "Plenty of practice" she dismissed as he picked her up and spun. Her feet touched the floor and they continued dancing,  "I remember you said you'd save me a dance" the two turned and there stood Cedric, "yes, of course, I'm sorry Harry" Harry let the girl go and walked off quickly as Cedric and (Name) began to dance, "are you scared?" she questioned looking up at the boy and he nodded "terrified" he laughed, "you're strong Cedric you can do anything" she encouraged and he spun her away from him and pulled her back closer. "my fear is not of death itself, but of death without meaning" Cedric replied and (Name) nodded as Cedric pushed some hair behind her ear, "I'm sure you'll be fine" (Name) smiled as he lifted her, "yeah I'm sure" he grinned placing her down and spinning her again, but this time she didn't come back. "I think I'll have her now" Draco smirked, he had (Name) entrapped, his arms had control of hers and were held crossed in front of her body, "dirty player Malfoy" Cedric hissed at him and stepped forward angrily, "Cedric!" Cho called out and grabbed his hand "where did you go?" the girl looked up at him, "I just had talked to (Name) sorry Cho" the girl lead him away.

Draco guided her across the dance floor as if they were in a dream. He kept his eyes on her, yet still, he knew exactly where to take her. Every moment, every angle seemed to be planned in advanced. Nothing felt forced, it felt right, it felt effortless, as if their bodies were in auto piolet, he spun her and her hair flowed gently behind her, she glanced around "Draco, everyone is staring at us" she hissed at him and he shrugged as they continued to dance "Let them" he smirked and lifted her as if she was porcelain that he was scared to break. "tell me I didn't do you a favour getting you away from Diggory, he looked so boring as if he was going to cry" Draco spoke ruefully, "shut it before I step on your toes" (Name) glared at him, her dress touched of the floor, it felt as if they were the only ones in the room as they moved. They danced with no worries, they fir together as if pieces of a puzzle, bodies close, his hand grasping hers tightly. "you know Draco, maybe you should always be this gentle, with everyone" (Name) commented and he stepped on her foot, "never" he hissed, "then why to be gentle with me?" she pressed on, "because you're different, I don't know, I think I might L--" he was cut out of his sentence by (name) being pulled away from his grasp roughly.

"come with me" William demanded as his grip on her wrist tightened and her smooth skin began to turn red "William!" she called as he dragged her from the hall, "William! you're hurting me stop it!" she cried tears welling in her (e/c) eyes. "shut up" he demanded and his grip tightened even more, as he pulled her deeper and deeper into the castle. "Stop It!" she snapped her wrist from his grasp, and he spun fury burning in his eyes. (Name) stepped back timidly and he grabbed her by the throat pushing her against the wall, "stop! you're not normally this violent William" she gasped out and stared at him, his face was red and he looked at her as if he was in a trance. it began to rain heavily, thunder bottling outside, "they're going to come (name)! and you're getting cuddly with him!" he hissed releasing her and she dropped to the floor and she gasped for air, "who" she barely got the words out, "he's going to rise again, and if you know what's good for you, you'll stay away from Malfoy" he seethed "I don't understand!" she exclaimed pulling herself off the floor, "of course you don't, nice little (name) Windsor, a perfect princess, you're not a Slytherin like this, show them who you really are!" with every word William pushed her "what has gotten into you!" she cried and he slapped her, "shut up! show them what you really are!" he demands "no!" she squealed as she pushed him back. he grabbed her roughly again "William! I'm warning you to stop it!" she tries to squirm free, "No! I can't stop" he snarled back, (Name) summons her wand, "I'm warning you! please stop" she begs her friend and he shakes his head "Diffindo!" a red light shoots from her wand and slices William's cheek and leg, blood begins pouring from his wound. The girl turned tail and began to run from him.

"He's coming! He wants you!"
