Chapter 18: Love's Melody

I was with Draco in the great hall, looking through some wizarding magazine while he sketched away in his notebook. "Look at this," I laughed, showing Draco the article Rita Skeeter wrote. "Miss Granger, a plain but ambitious girl seems to be developing a taste for famous wizards. Her latest prey, sources report, is none other than the Bulgarian bon-bon Viktor Krum. No word yet on how Harry Potter's taking this latest emotional blow." "That's hilarious," Draco laughed with me. A screech was heard, a few crows flew in with a package and a velvet box. They dropped it off in front of me then flew away and I spoke, "My parents sent me something." I opened the velvet box and gasped seeing the most beautiful necklace, attached to the lid was a note. 'For the ball, I hope you have fun. Love, Mom & Dad.'

"They said it's for the ball," I said, taking the note. "What ball?" "The Yule ball," Draco answered. "Didn't you see the flyers? We have dance lessons in a few minutes. Come on, I'll help you drop them off at your room."

3rd person pov:

The Slytherin were a classroom, Snape was standing next to a gramophone that Mr. Filch was trying to set up. The girls were on one side of the class's room while the boys were on the other side, Snape spoke, "The Yule ball has been a tradition of the Tri-Wizard tournament since its inception. On Christmas eve night, we and our guests gather in the great hall for well mannered frivolity. As representatives of the host school I expect each and every one of you to put your best foot forward... and I mean this literally because the yule ball is first and foremost... a dance." The girls gasped and started to whisper, Y/n smiled lightly as she sat up straighter. "Silence," Snape spoke, everyone went quiet again. "The houses of Salazar Slytherin have commanded the respect of the wizard world for nearly ten centuries. I will not have you, in the course of a single evening, besmirching that name by behaving like a babbling, bumbling band of baboons... Now to dance is to let the body breathe, inside every girl a secret swan slumbers longing to burst forth and take flight." Y/n scoffed, crossing her arms and legs before sitting back and Snape added, "Inside every boy is a Slithering Snake prepared to attack."

Snape looked towards the boys and spotted Draco talking to some boy. "Mr. Malfoy, since you're so keen on getting distracted, will you help me show the class how to properly dance?" Snape questioned. Y/n snickered, not being able to hold in her laughter then Snape spoke, "Ms. Y/n, since you find this so humorous, perhap you would like to be his partner?" Y/n looked at Draco then got up, walking up to him. "Now, place your hand on your partner's waist," Snape instructed. The boys howled a bit and Snape huffed, "Silence!... Mr. Malfoy, grab Ms. Y/n's waist." Draco blushed a bit then did so, Y/n placed her hand on his shoulder then locked their free hands. Snape scoffed then pushed Draco closer to her and spoke, "Don't be shy, she's a girl not a creature." Y/n smirk and Draco whispered to her, "Shut up."

"Now, Mr. Malfoy, go on and lead her. On beat," Snape said, then the music started. "Now, one two three." Draco started leading the dance, step by step making Y/n smile, "You're really good." "You'd be surprised what a pureblood family can teach you," Draco smirked, spinning her gently then pulled her back to him. "You're not the only person full of surprises." Y/n smiled then placed her hand on his neck as Snape said, "Now, everyone on their feet." The class got up and started dancing with them, at the end, Draco and Y/n walked out of the class together, laughing. "That was actually fun," Y/n admitted. "Well, you're a good dancer," Draco smirked. Y/n blushed a bit then looked down a bit before looking back at him. "You gonna go to the dance?" Draco asked. "It is on Christmas eve."

"Perhaps, my parents did get me a dress so it will depend if someone asks me," Y/n mentioned, hinting as much as she could to him. "I'm hoping for a pureblood Slytherin to ask me, one that knows me." "I think he will," Draco said. "Then, I'll be waiting," Y/n smiled. "I'm gonna go see the dress my parents sent me, see you later." Draco nodded as Y/n walked off, past Potter and Weasley who were also talking about the ball. (Play song now) "How does the bastard orphan, no more ignored, go on and on - grow into more of a phenomenon?" Draco said, indicating Harry who he was approaching. "Watch this obnoxious, arrogant, loudmouth bother, be seated like the right hand of the father. Watching this fire grab at him right on sight, but grabbing him while he still has to fight, not right. Now Potter, he skills that shrill are undeniable, but what do we have in common?... We're reliable with the-"
