I step out of the shower at 6:00pm. The party starts at 7 so I get dressed and slip on my heels.

It takes me about 30 minutes to get dressed because I keep stopping to look at my phone.

My dress is long and has a slit up the side of it. I look at myself in the mirror in awe.

Not to sound like a narcissistic arsehole, but I've always been told I was beautiful.

But right now in this beautiful dress, it's as if I'm seeing it for the first time.

I decide to flatiron my hair and wear hoop earrings. I walk out of my room and go to knock on Draco's door.

"Come in!" Draco says from the other side of the door.

I walk in and he's fiddling around with his phone, probably playing some muggle game.

I clear my throat and he looks up at me.

"Woah, you clean up nice. Reckon I still look better than you though." he taunts with a chuckle.

I laugh sarcastically and throw one of his pillows at him.

"Are you sure you don't want to come?" I ask.

"Yeah. People have always said I look too much like Lucius and with his trial coming up, I really don't want to be out in public." Draco mutters.

I walk over and wrap him in a hug.

"It's going to be okay. You're innocent and that's all that matters. If all else fails, just remember, he is certainly going to Azkaban so you will not have to endure this for long." I state.

I walk out of his room and close the door behind me and I stop mid stride.

Ron steps out of his room with a black suit on that matches with my dress perfectly, I might add.

I look him up and down, my eyes darting to his before he notices me.

"Wow." we mutter out at the same time.

It's like we can't help it. Our eyes are lingering everywhere but each other's.

I look up at him again and his eyes finally meet mine. I give him a warm smile as I walk up to him.

"Ready to go, Weasley?" I ask, reaching my hand out.

"As ready as I'll ever be, Malfoy." he replies while taking my hand.

                                  ———

We arrive at Grimmauld Place a little after 7:30 and the place is alive with people. Sirius even manages to get Kreacher to clean up for the party.

The members of the order are here, drinking and conversing. I walk in and scan the room for at least one familiar face.

I look through the crowd and spot Ginny near the kitchen. I immediately walk over to her and study her.

She is absolutely stunning. She has her long, fiery red hair flatironed, a dark green dress that fits her body perfectly, and legs to die for.

People would kill for the looks Ginerva Weasley possesses.

She notices me and smiles.

"Elena! Merlin, I've missed you." she exclaims.

Almost instantly, she engulfs me in a hug. I hug her back immediately and she chuckles.
