*Mini Dracos POV*

She has a .. date? And it's not Potter? Who the hell is it??

I sigh. I really do miss her. I shake my head, clearing my thoughts. No. I don't need her.

*Readers POV*

The Yule Ball comes up faster than I thought, it's the day of and all the girls in our group are packed in mine and Hermiones dorm, all doing each others hair and makeup.

My hair is half up, complimenting the (length) of my hair, the upper half styled in a complex bun, the bottom half curled. I have stray pieces pulled out in the front, making it a more soft look and accentuating my face. My makeup is a subtle glam look, lots of highlighter on my high points.

Pulling on my dress, I look in the mirror, suddenly self conscious.

"Hey! You look amazing!" Hermione compliments. I smile at her, it not reaching my eyes. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know, I just feel like I'm not good enough for Ced. He's just so... you know." I sigh.

"Hey, you look absolutely stunning. Don't worry, he thinks your gorgeous either way." I smile and turn, giving her a tight hug.

"Put your heels on, we're almost late! We are two of the first to dance, remember?" I nod, and pull my heels on. They're black with the straps lacing up my leg in a delicate, slightly seductive manner.

Smoothing my dress out, the four of us walk out, deciding to go down the stairs one by one so we can each have a little moment for ourselves. Hermione peers over the side and laughs.

"Have you seen Ronalds dress robes?" We laugh at him. Hermione walks down the stairs and I start getting nervous.

*Dracos POV*
I haven't seen y/n yet tonight. I ended up caving and going with Pansy. She looks decent. Kinda. I never found her attractive to be quite honest.

I glance around, seeing Granger with Krum. Interesting. She looks... nice.

I finally spot the familiar shade of (h/c) at the top of the stairs. My jaw drops. She is absolutely stunning.

Her h/c hair is styled half up half down elegantly, a sexy dark green dress with a slit going up her thigh that shows off her figure flows as she walks down the stairs. Black heels that wrap up her ankle delicately.

My god. She's wearing my color.

She looks over and makes eye contact and smiles at me. I smile back as I watch her descend the grand stair case.

She walks over and I see the back of her date but I cannot tell who it is. He hold out his hand, she places hers in his and he plants a kiss on her knuckles. She blushes and then I notice the necklace I gave her sitting gently on her chest.

Her date holds out his hand, she takes it and they turn and start walking to the ballroom.

Diggory.

*Readers POV*

I take a deep breath as I walk down the staircase. I see bunches of eyes turn my way and try to ignore them, but I feel the harsh and familiar stare I just cannot resist.

Glancing up, I see Draco. He's wearing a white dress shirt and black robes, with formal shoes. He looks good as hell, his hair neatly brushed. He smiles at me, and I return it, studying him. God, he's attractive as hell. He's not my date though. I look and see Cedric watching me and I smile at him. At the end of the stair case he holds his hand out. I place my hand in his and he plants a gentle kiss on my knuckles.

"You look stunning." He says sweetly. I smile back at him, beaming at the handsome Hufflepuff before me.

We turn, starting to walk into the ballroom, and I glance over at Draco again He's still staring, until his date elbows him in the side.

Parkinson.

Professor McGonagall hurries us into a line to enter the ballroom, Fleur and her date being first, followed by Hermione and Krum, then me and Ced, and last Harry and Parvarti. I turn and smile at Harry.

"You look... brilliant!" He compliments and I smile, Ced turning at this comment.

"She really does, doesn't she?" He asks, smiling at me and planting a kiss on my head.

"Hey, Ced! Don't mess up my hair!" I joke. Even with my heels, Ced is taller than me. We all walk in a line past all the other students. I see them gawking at me and Mione, and gasping. I even hear whispers about 'Potters girl' which I guess is me. Ugh.

We all stand and prepare to dance. Cedrics hand rests on my waist, mine on his shoulder. As the music starts I see Harry panicking. We all start dancing around the room and people clap. Cedric spins me away from him and pulls me back in, causing a giggle to erupt from me.

We continue gracefully dancing around the room and I notice Harry failing at dancing. Others join us, and before I know it, almost the entire school is dancing. Cedric and I spin around in a circle with eachother, he lifts me up by my waist as we spin, everyone else doing the same in unison. A beaming smile on both of our faces as we dance around. The dance ends and a band starts playing more modern music.

Cedric and I end up dancing beside Hermione and Viktor, being goofy and laughing at eachother. The song ends and Hermione and Viktor leave, getting drinks. Another slow song comes on and Cedric and I slow dance yet again.

It's the end of the night, and Cedric and I are laying in the courtyard staring at the stars together. He's holding my hand as we point out constellations and planets, laughing and talking.

I let out a yawn on accident and Cedric turns to me.

"That was adorable, but seems you're tired. We should probably head to bed, love." He stands, holding a hand out. I stand, him pulling me up, and trip over a rock, ending up against Cedrics chest.

"Looks like you fell for me again." He laughs, the vibrations from his chest calming.

"I guess I did..." I look up at him and he pauses before slowly tilting my chin upwards. Getting on my tippy toes, he leans in and our lips gently touch. I pull away and smile as we start walking to the castle.

"Goodnight, Cedric." I say with a smile.

"Goodnight, Y/n." He responds, kissing my forehead.
