We're still at The Astronomy Tower. "I think we should go back to the party. It is Alexia's birthday and I am one of her best friends, I don't want to be rude", I grab his hand and walk back to the stairs. "Wait", he pulls me back. I look at him questioningly. "I want to ask you something", he looks at the ground. He looks up: "The Yule ball is tomorrow and I was wondering if you wanted to go with-", I interrupt him by kissing him. I can feel him laughing, but he's kissing me back immediately. After a few seconds, I take his hand "We really have to go". "So I can take it as a yes?", he asks. "Maybe...", I tease. 

Back in Slytherin's common room, I sit on the sofa between Nicola and Alexia. "Girls, I want you to listen, but stay quiet, alright?", they nod. "Draco asked me to be his date at the Yule Ball", I chuckle. "No way!", Nicola says, way too loud. "I knew it, you two, I knew it", Alexia hugs me. "Calm down, it is only the Yule Ball", I laugh. 

It is late afternoon and me and my friends are getting ready for the Yule Ball. I am so excited. I put on the dress I bought earlier in Hogsmeade. It shows my hourglass figure. I wear high heels in dark green. My nails are the same color as my heels. Smokey eyes, red lips and I've put my hair up. I love the way that I look, I really hope Draco does too. I am a really bit nervous for his reaction. Maybe he did not expect this and he does not like it... Whatever, tonight has to be fun! 

"Girls, are you ready?", I am standing in the doorway of the dorm. They nod. Together we walk to the stairs, all three of us agreed with our dates to meet there. I walk in the middle and we're giggling a little, probably because we're a little nervous. 

At the stairs I look down. I see Adrian, Terence and Draco looking up to us. "You like it, Malfoy?", I make a little spin to show the dress. "Better than I had imagined", he runs up the stairs. He reaches out his hand: "I have to take you somewhere first", I put my hand in his hand and walk with him. I look back and wave to my girlfriends. 

Draco grabs a box and opens it. In the box is a necklace with green diamonds. "I want you to wear this, it is my moms necklace", he takes the necklace out of the box. I am astonished "Are.. are you sure, Draco?", I ask. "I want someone special to wear it", he's going to stand behind me and put the necklace on. "It is beautiful", I kiss him. "Shall we?", he grabs my hand and walks to the Ball.
