Twisted Fate

Yule Ball

Belladonna looked in the mirror, her black hair pinned up into a low bun updo. She had done her makeup, she looked in the mirror applying the lipstick Mrs. Malfoy suggested. The dark red making her pale skin and blue eyes stand out. She looked at her dress one more time and smiled. She slipped a flask in a garder on her thigh and headed into the hallway. She heads up the stairs slowly, she felt a pit in her stomach about tonight. She stepped into the main hall from the dungeon and everyone in the hall stopped to look at her. Belladonna smiled saying hello and walking into the entrance of the great hall. Cedric turns towards where everyone was and stood in shock. She was breathtaking before he could talk to her she was stopped by her friends.

"Wow Belladonna," Goyle said readjusting his tie and trying not to stare. Belladonna laughed at the boy.

"The three of you do clean up nicely," The boy's faces started to flush "You bring yours," She said with a smile.

"In our jacket pockets of course," Blaise said with a smirk 

"Where in the hell are you hiding yours," Crabbe asked, causing Belladonna to laugh. She winked at them and headed over to Cedric who hasn't stopped looking at her.

"You look very nice," She said with a straight face looking the boy up and down.

"You look wow," He almost whispered to the girl, she looked at him narrowing her eyes. "Um well let line up for the dance." He said offering his arm to her, she accepted and they got in line. Belladonna smiled as she saw Harry coming into the line of champions as well. 

"Harry," Belladonna said with a smile, she let go of Cedric's arm to give him a hug. Harry hugged back but he felt almost stunned by her beauty. She connected her arm with Cedric again. "Good luck," She said in a whisper and turned to start heading into the room. 

Draco stood in the crowd waiting for the champions, he had not seen Belladonna yet and was hoping she ditched the Hufflepuff. The Champions headed in and whispers started, Draco looked up and his eyes widened. Belladonna walked in with Cedric and looked like a god. The dress fit her like a glove, showing off her figure. The champions started to dance, followed by the students joining in. Finally, after what felt like forever dancing Belladonna and Cedric stepped away from the crowd. 

"I'll go get up a drink," Cedric said looking around the room, Belladonna looked at him with narrow eyes.

"Sure thing, I want to have a dance with my uncle anyways," Belladonna said walking towards Severus who stood glaring at the edge of the crowd.

"Would you have a dance, sir," Belladonna said with a smile. Severus rolled his eyes with a smirk. 

"Now I know you don't wanna spend this evening with me," Severus said looking at his wonderful niece who's smile grew wider.

"Your right, so let hurry up and have a dance so I can avoid you the rest of the night," She laughed and held at her hand. Severus chuckled taking it. They swayed back and forth, nobody even noticing them.

" You look so much like your mother," He said twirling the girl around, she smiled at her uncle. 

"I love you, uncle Sev, I always will," She paused stealing a glance at Moody, "No matter what," She said a little quieter, Severus looked at the girl with a smile.

"I love you more, kiddo," He said twirling her one last time, "Now go the real fun will be starting, but don't let anyone catch you," He said winking and heading out towards the outside. Belladonna laughed and looked around trying to find Cedric. She headed into the crowd trying to find him with all the dancing teens. She sighed heavily as she headed into the hall trying to find her date, and she found him right outside the hall. Cedric stood in the hall, kissing Cho Chang a Ravenclaw girl. Belladonna scoffed and caught the intention of them both. 

"Belladonna, I'm . . . " Cedric tried to plead, looking at the girl. She rolled her eyes.

"You know what I knew saying yes to you was a bad idea," She said crossing her arms "I was your date you git, you could have waited until later tonight," She turned heading back towards the great hall and heading in. 

"Belladonna waits," He yelled grabbing her hand in the doorway, she quickly ripped her hand away. 

"Keep my name out of your damn mouth Diggory," Belladonna spat as she headed into the crowd to find her friends. She found Crabbe, Goyle, and Blaise dance in the middle of the room. Blaise was taking a sip of his flask, Belladonna laughed taking it from him. She took big gulps and handed it back. 

"Hey," He said smirking at the girl "You have your own fire whiskey miss," He laughed and Belladonna smiled 

"After my night, I need a bottle of it," She laughed and started to dance around with Goyle and Crabbe. After a few songs, she looked around and noticed Draco was missing.

"Hey, Blaise wheres my blondie?" Belladonna asked and he looked around. 

"He was hiding from Pansy, he regretted asking her really quickly, haven't seen him since," He shrugged going back to dancing with his date. Belladonna knew how Draco felt instantly about regretting the date they chose. She knew instantly where he was and she headed there. Soon enough she was climbing up the stairs of the Astronomy tower. She stopped at the top pulling out her flask. She walked over to the balcony to see Draco looking out at the sky.

"I heard your date was just as bad as mine," Belladonna said taking a swig of the fine whiskey and handing it to Draco. He took it even though he had already drunk through his, and took a big swallow. Belladonna looked up at the night sky, she smiled at it. 

"Diggory wasn't what you excepted?" Draco asked handing the flask back to her. She let out a sigh.

"He was kissing Cho Chang in the hall," She said finishing off the flask, Draco instantly regretted the comment he made. "Having the so-called prettiest girl at Hogwarts as a date helps make girls jealous I guess." She said looking at the sky.

"He is a git," Draco said in a low voice, Belladonna laughed. They both stood next to each other in sweet silence. 

"Hey you owe me a dance," Belladonna said looking at Draco with a smile, Draco laughed at the girl. 

"There is no music," He said looking around the slightly snow-covered balcony. 

"We don't need it," She said pulling him away from the balcony's edge. Draco let out a chuckle as they started dancing. They smiled and laughed twirling each other around. Belladonna laid her head on his chest as they swayed together. She took in the scent of cologne and mint, with a hint of apple. She smiled and looked up at the sky as they swayed. Draco held the girl as they swayed, and his senses filled with the smell of milk and honey. He held back a shiver as the girl's warm breath hit his shoulder. He knew he couldn't hide it anymore, he cared so much about the girl. Draco didn't want to see her with any other guy, he wanted to be with her. 

"Belladonna," He said lowly causing her to look at his stormy grey eyes. They looked at each other for a moment. "Fuck it," Draco whispered, he quickly pressed his lips onto hers. The kiss filled with hunger and passion that she gladly returned, relieved he finally did that. Draco was overcome with the taste of vanilla and strawberry. Belladonna ran her hands in the platinum blonds hair. Their kiss continued as Draco pressed the girl's back against the wall, he held onto the girl's hips. Finally, they broke the kiss, Draco leaning his forehead on hers. 

"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that," He said with a smirk looking into the girl's eyes. She chuckled, 

"You don't know how long I've wanted you to do that," She said hugging the boy, he smiled hugging her back.
