And for you I keep my legs apart
And forget about my tainted heart
And I will never ever be the first to say it

"See you guys at my Christmas party yeah?" Echoed Blaise. It was the end of term and Draco, Blaise and Pansy sat in a cabin at the end of the Hogwarts express.

"Yeah, of course." Pansy replied.

"Yeah." Draco mumbled.

"Me and Blaise are going together." Pansy giggled, grabbing Blaise's arm.

"Are you taking anyone Draco?" Blaise smirked.

"Of course I am. Her name's Evelyn." Draco sat up.

"Who's that?" Pansy asked.

"Evelyn? From our Potions class? In our house?" Draco sneered.

"Never heard of her." Blaise shrugged.

It was Christmas eve. The night of the party at the Zabinis .

"Draco! Are you ready?" Narcissa Malfoy called out to him.

"Yes mother." He replied, putting on his shoes and heading down the stairs. His mother extended her arm, and as soon as he took it they disapparated out of the Manor.

"Mrs Malfoy! So glad to see you! My, you look beautiful tonight." Mr Zabini approached her as soon as their feet touched the ground.

"Lovely to see you too, Mr Zabini." Narcissa said, letting go of Draco and walking away with Blaise's father. Draco's father did not come as he had some "important business' to take care of.

He headed into the ballroom, which was already filled with many Pureblood families.

"Draco! There you are!" Someone grabbed his arm. He spun around and layed his eyes on the most beautiful girl in the room. She wore a long, gold dress and her curled hair sat delicately on her neck.

"Evelyn. You look amazing." He took her hands into his.

"Thank you. You're not so bad yourself." She winked.

"Do you want something to drink?" He asked.

"I'm alright actually, I had plenty before you came." She giggled.

"Oh, alright. I'll be right back, stay here." He told her. He turned around and walked over to a bar, getting himself a drink.

"Draco! Hey!" Pansy squealed, striding over to him with Blaise by her side. She wore a much more revealing black dress, and her hair was in an elegant bun.

"Where's your date huh? I thought you said you're bringing someone." Blaise smirked, taking another drink for himself.

"She's somewhere over there." Draco pointed.

"Well? Introduce us then." Pansy said.

"Okay, come on." Draco gestured for his friends to follow him, walking over to where Evelyn was standing.

"Um, she was here a moment ago. I don't-, I don't know where she went." Draco scratched his head, looking around the room.

"Well you better find her, I'm going to find my friends. Later Draco." Pansy scoffed, pulling Blaise away with her and into the crowd.

Draco wondered around the ballroom for a while, in search for his date. Eventually he gave up and sat down at a table. He downed the rest of his drink, watching the way other people danced. He spotted Pansy and Blaise on the other side of the hall, kissing. He almost spat out his drink at the sight.

"What's wrong?" Someone sat down next to him.

"Evelyn? What the-? I was looking for you for ages! What were-,"

"Draco. I was there, where you told me to stay the whole time. I thought you forgot about me." She put an arm on his shoulder.

"No, no. I thought you did." He sighed.

"Anyway, want to dance?" He stood up, and extended his arm to her.

"I-, okay." She giggled, taking his hand and letting him pull her across the hall. He put his arm on her waist and she put hers on his shoulder.

"I'm not very good at dancing by the way." She said quietly, while they swayed to the music.

"It's alright." He smirked. She put her head on his shoulder and they moved to the slow music, not thinking or caring about anyone else. They danced for the whole night, wrapped in each others arms.

"I don't want this night to end." She whispered quietly.

"Relax, we'll see eachother in 2 weeks." He chuckled.

"Yeah."
