His Dark Princess

Chapter 10

I begin to eat my breakfast and once again I feel eyes on me. It was Draco, I looked up and met his eyes. I felt someone sit next to me and it was Elvira. "Athena, omg you won't believe who just asked me to the yule ball!" "who? please don't tell me Ron!" as I said that she was shocked and laughed. "Athena, what no! Elio!" "haha omg that great!" "I know, I guess I never really paid attention to him, but he's really hot... Oh wait- we're good tho right...yk since he's your friend" "girl yes of course it fine! I don't like him like that lol." "Okay good" she sighs "Speaking of Elio, he invited us for some butterbeer tomorrow if you wanna go..." "yes!" "haha okay we'll go, well I should get going. I have to go meet up with Hermonie, Later!"

I went to the library and saw Hermonie, sitting down, reading her book. "Hey, Hermione!" "Hey Athena, thanks for coming. I really need your help with... um, Ron" I knew Hermonie liked Ron, even if she wouldn't admit it. "Yeah! what is it?" "Well, you know the yule ball is coming up. And I want Ron to ask me. I even rejected Viktor Krum and I don't know what to do, I really need your help!" At this point I wanted to strangle Ron, I have always wanted Ron and Hermonie together. I swear he's such an Idiot! " I know how much Ron likes you, he's such an idiot to not ask you. He's just too scared because he will think you'll reject him. Just give him some time but if he doesn't ask you, I say you should say yes to Viktor and go with him because it's gonna be Ron's fault if he loses you, I swear he is such an idiot!" She smiled and thanked me. As I was leaving the library, Harry came up to me. "Hey, Athena. I was wondering if you wanted to go to the Yule ball with me?" he says nervously. I was surprised that Harry had asked me but I knew we were going as friends and that no one else would ask me. "Yeah of course Harry!" "wait really?" "Yes," I said blushing, "Brilliant." "Well, I have to start planning on what I'm going to wear! Bye, harry.... Wait, Harry, thanks!" I was really happy that someone had asked me, I was giving up on anyone asking me. As I entered the common room, I noticed Draco looking at me. I decided to ignore him and look for Elvira. I sat on my bed and waited for Elvira to come, it was pretty late and she wasn't coming, so I decided to go downstairs and sit by the fire. I was wearing some pajama shorts and a white tank top, As I was going down. I noticed Draco sitting by the fireplace, I decided to go back up but he saw me and said "Athena, you know, you can come and sit. right?" I was not expecting him to tell me that I was welcomed to sit next to him, "Haha.. yeah, I totally knew that'' I said as I was walking over to him and sat by him. We stayed there in silence until he decided to talk. "So I see, you and that Ravenclaw boy, are getting close." It was really weird that he mentioned Elio, "Oh yeah. He and I used to be best friends, actually childhood best friends but when we found out that both of us didn't get into..." I paused and looked at him. "Gryffindor... We faded and now he's into Elvira, so he is usually around." As I said that he came closer and was about to hold my hand when I got up and said "uh... I should get going. It's pretty late." I quickly head back up to my room and get into bed. Why does he keep doing that! He's mean one day and the next trying to hold my hand and concerned about my friendships?!
