Peppermint

The Ball

The Nurse quickly gives me a potion that heals my cut completely and she gives me the rest of the day off as it was already lunch.

I make my way out of the hospital wing and start walking back to my common room just as everyone got out of their class for lunch.

I end up meeting my eyes with cold grey ones that i love so much but it hurts me to look at Draco leaning against a pillar with his friends talking to him so i look away. But right when i do my gaze catches His soft warm green eyes James who comes up right past Draco.

"im so happy your okay" James says embracing me in a tight hug and i instantly hug him back making sure Draco was watching over his shoulder, and of course he was. Good, he deserves to feel everything that i feel.

"Your eyes there like a deep blue," James said coming closer and putting his hand on my cheek.

"Yea i just lost control for a second from something stupid," i say glaring at Draco.

"well, im glad your okay cause there was something i wanted to ask you" And just then everyone got quiet and started to look at us. And i saw Draco stiffen and squeeze his fists tight.

"Would you maybe want to go to the ball with me?" James said looking at me with a smile.

"i can't think of a better person to go with" I lie well smiling.

"really that's great okay i will pick you up at 9," he says placing a kiss on my cheek well people are clapping around us and then walking away.

"Pansy your my date for this stupid ball," Draco says starting at me with hatred and hurt eyes.

"REALLYYYY OKAY YESS" Pansy shrieks well i walk away flipping my hair to my common room to take a nap before this dreadful night.

I am woken up by Emily shaking me "Cmon we only have an hour to get ready"

I get up and start to get ready I put light sparkly eyeshadow around my eyes and curl my long black lashes and add mascara and em straightened my hair and tucked it behind my ears and give me diamond earrings to match my shoes and made sure my eyebrows had a perfect shape and dabbed on clear lip gloss.

I went into the bathroom slipping on my black dress. I got black for Draco but now. Now i will just stand out i guess. I put on my sparkly heels. and was finally ready to go.

I made my way down out of the common room to be met by James.

"wow," he said looking me up and down. "you look amazing," he said with a smile.

" not so bad yourself so shall we go" I ask

"yes we shall," he says holding his arm out.

Draco POV:

Pansy hasn't let go of my arm since we walked through the great hall doors and it's quite annoying. my blood was already boiling by the fact that I got myself into this mess I didn't want to go with bloody pansy i wanted to go with her.

I couldn't stop myself staring at the door waiting for her to come in but right when she did I felt my mouth open she looked perfect. until I saw whose arm was wrapped around her waist James.
