Unforgettable (D.M.)

Chapter 4: That should be me

Hermione and I walk out of potions together, and she's saying something to me but my mind is filled with thoughts so loud I can't understand what she's saying. Who is my soulmate? Who is it that I smelled when I sniffed that potion? When will I meet this person? Have I already met them? Is it Ron?

"Hello? Are you even listening to me?" Hermione asks, pulling my arm to stop me from walking. I shake my head, trying to push away the thoughts filling my brain.

"Yes, I was." I say with an awkward smile. She sighs.

"What's on your mind?" She questions, I look down at my feet.

"I just want to know who I smelled, it's going to bug me all day." I answer, she lets a little giggle slip out of her mouth. I look back up at her quickly.

"What?" I ask.

"Wait, you were being serious? You really don't know?" She questions, I give her a confused look.

"You know who it is!? Oh my, please tell me! Please, please , please." I beg her, she shakes her head.

"I'll leave it up to the universe to bring you two together. By the way, it's ok. I will always love you and be happy for you, no matter who the boy you are with is." She tells me and walks away from me to her next class. What could she possibly mean by that!?!?

I smile to myself as I leave class behind Maya and Hermione. I can tell she is stressing out about who she smelled in that potion, but I'm pretty sure it was me. I mean green apples, that's literally my favorite fruit. I'm always chewing mint gum. And my cologne scent is called bonfire. I mean, if it isn't me then I'll be really upset. Not only do I really like this girl, but also because all the scents fit with me perfectly.

I make it to the dance lesson class with Professor Mcgonagall and I notice Maya talking with Ron, and she's blushing like crazy. I never thought I would ever be jealous of Ron Weasley, but here we are. I sit down next to Crabbe and Goyle as Mcgonagall begins speaking.

"Good morning everyone, as you all know today we will be practicing for the yule ball which is coming up very soon. So get with a partner that you will be comfortable dancing with or if your date happens to be here, you should pick them." She says. I look at Maya and she smiles and nods towards Ron. I sigh and I look around the room, I see Pansy walking towards me. Great.

"Would you like to be my partner?" Pansy asks me, I just put my hand out for her to grab without saying anything and she smiles at me.

"Now that everyone has a partner, I will tell you where to put your hands. Boys, you rest your right hand on the ladies hip, and your left takes the girls hand and holds it up with your elbow bent. Girls, place your right hand on the boy's shoulder. Ron and Maya, would you be so kind and demonstrate for the class?" Mcgonagall asks them, of course it's them she asks. I look over and I see Ron put his hand on her hip and I cringe slightly. That should be me dancing with her, not weaselbee. They hold the position that Mcgonagall told them to.

"Very good guys, thank you. Now everyone please get in that position with your partners." She says. Pansy quickly puts her hand on my shoulder and places her other hand in mine. I notice her blush as I put my hand on her hip, awkwardly I might add. I only see Pansy as a friend, so this is weird for me.

"Now, start to move your feet with your partner. Draco and Pansy, please try to do so for us?" Mcgonagall asks us, I nod and we start dancing together.

"Yes, that is exactly how to do it. Everyone please copy them." She tells everyone, and they all begin dancing around. I can't keep my eyes off of Maya and Ron though, I'm pretty sure they are going together so my plan to ask her is a bust. But I don't even know if I want to go anymore because I'd rather not have them dance and be happy the whole time while I sit there watching and being jealous.

As I dance with Ron, I can tell that something is bothering Draco. He seems less confident and more.. sad. I shake away the thoughts of him and I look into Ron's eyes.

"So does this mean we're going to the ball together?" I question, he smiles.

"Do you want it to mean that?" He asks.

"Yes." I answer, and his smile turns into a smirk.

"Then I guess we're going together." He says.

Class ends and I quickly look around for Hermione. I find her in the library, reading. I walk up to her and I sit down.

"Guess what?" I say, excitedly.

"What?" She asks, setting down the book and focusing her attention on me.

"I have a date to the ball." I tell her, her face lights up.

"That's amazing, is it your soulmate?" She asks with a smirk.

"I hope so, I'm going with Ron." I tell her and all the light in her face drops and so did the smirk.

"Oh." She answers, and she looks down. I start feeling bad, even though I don't know why she just got sad.

"What's wrong?" I ask her, she looks back at me.

"Nothing, that's great. You two are cute together." She says, I sigh in relief. For a second there I thought Hermione liked Ron.

"Ok, now we have to get you a date. Do you like anyone?" I ask her, she puts away her book.

"Actually yes, and I'm going to go ask him now." She says, I smile at her.

"Yes, you go get your man girl!" I hype her up and she walks away, I turn to watch her walk up to Malfoy. Malfoy!!?? Why him out of everyone? Why the guy I absolutely hate?

I watch Draco say something and they start talking, but I'm not good at reading lips so I guess I'll have to wait to see if my enemy and my best friend are going together. Even the thought of it grosses me out.

Hermione walks back over to me after like 20 minutes. Please tell me he said no.

"He said yes, thank you for the confidence boost Maya. You're such an amazing friend." She says, my eyes widen.

"So you're going with Malfoy? Girl why?" I ask, we both laugh a little bit.

"I don't know, I just like him for some reason." She tells me, I nod.

"Well like you said, I will always love you and be happy for you, no matter who the boy you are with is." I quote her from earlier. We both leave the library and go back to our dorm. Hermione and Draco, who would have thought? Definitely not me, I did not expect this whatsoever, but I guess i'm happy if she's happy...
