Unforgettable (D.M.)

Chapter 6: The Yule Ball

"Come on Maya, we want to see your dress." Hermione begs, I laugh at all of them.

"You guys have to wait until the ball to see it." I say, they all groan and I smile at them. We walk out of our dorm and we walk to breakfast. I've always loved the yule ball, they are always so much fun. This is the first time I actually have a date, for the past four years I just went with Hermione, Ginny and Lavender. But after last night.. I feel like it's going to be more awkward than fun, I'm just hoping that's not the case.

"Good morning, today is the special day. The yule ball will be held in the Great Hall of Hogwarts this evening. I can not wait to see all of your beautiful dresses and dashing suits." Dumbledore says. Ron and Harry sit down at the table with us.

"Did you find a date Harry?" I ask him, he smiles with a nod.

"Yes, I'm going with Ginny." Harry tells me.

"Aww, how do you feel about that Ron?" I ask, he looks at me with food stuffed in his mouth. He just gives me a thumbs up, Hermione and I both giggle at him.

I tighten up my tie and I look into the mirror, I quickly fix my hair and then I hear a knock on the door.

"Draco, hurry up. We're going to be late." I hear Goyle yell at me, I sigh and I spray my cologne on me and then I walk out.

"Wow Malfoy, you clean up nice." Pansy says, I nod and we leave the room.

We make it to the Great Hall and everyone scatters out. Pansy and Goyle went to get drinks, Crabbe and Theo went to talk with some other Slytherin members and I'm left alone looking for Maya and Hermione. Since Maya is coming with Ron, I decided to accept when Hermione asked me to go with her. I know that she likes Ron too, so it's probably to just get back at Maya or at least that's what I hope.

"If you're looking for Maya, she isn't ready yet." I hear Hermione say as she comes up from behind me.

"You two didn't come together?" I question.

"Nope, she wanted her dress to be a surprise for all of us." She tells me, I nod.

"I'm sure she looks be-" I pause when I see her come out from the corner, she starts walking down the stairs and wow.

"Beautiful." I whisper under my breath, but I'm pretty sure Hermione still heard it.

"I know you like her, and I only asked you hear because-"

"Because she's coming with Ron and you like Ron." I finish her sentence for her, she nods.

"Yeah.." She trails off.

Maya spots us and starts walking our way, I take a deep breath but then Ron steps in her way and puts his hand out as music begins to play. I watch Maya smile and put her hand in his. He takes her onto the dance floor and they start dancing to the music, good thing it isn't the slow dance song yet.

"Wanna dance?" I ask her, she looks at me.

"Sure, but we are not slow dancing together." She says, I nod.

"Of course not." I answer. We walk onto the dance floor and we just start moving to the song, but we both can't keep our eyes off of Ron and Maya as they laugh and have fun.

"I really thought she was my best friend, why'd she have to do this to me?" Hermione asks.

"Well she doesn't know, does she?" I question.

"I mean no, she doesn't." She says.

"Then that answers your question, I'm sure if she knew how you felt about him, she wouldn't have gone with him. So don't blame her." I say, she fixes her attention on me and smiles.
