—————

I LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE mirror sighing.

What if draco leaves me?

What if he ditches me for pug face pansy.

I shake my head getting all the negative thoughts out of my head, It's the yule ball!

I grab the earring off the counter and put them in flattening down the skirt of my dress.

I descend the stairs catching a few people's eyes.

Draco looks up at me and smiles widely.

In this moment it felt the the world stopped.

But it didn't because two moments later he grabs pansy's arm.

I stop in my tracks, my mind going blank as i watch draco lead pansy in the ballroom.

He leads pansy.

Not me.

I stumble back and scramble up the steps, tears threatening to spill.

I found the corner and make my way to the ledge draco found me on weeks prior.

I climb the ledge and sit on it taking off my heels sobbing.

I could hear the music playing and i know everyone is having fun.

But i just got my heart shattered.

I hear a cough and i look down and neville is looking at me.

I smile sadly "Hi Neville" I sniff and wipe my nose.

He climbs up on the ledge, "Why are you crying? it's the yule ball" He pats my back and i chuckle wiping my nose again.

"Well...my date kind of ditched me" His mouth shapes into a small o and he rubs my back again resting it on my shoulder.

I grab his hand in mine and we sit in comfortable silence.

After a few moments neville speaks up.

"If you don't mind me asking.." He rubs his neck "Who was your date?" I giggle but nod.

"Yea i don't mind" He nods and i go to continue.

"It was Draco, Draco Malfoy" He nods slowly.

"Well if you don't mind me saying so, i don't think he deserves you if he can leave you crying here and go and dance with someone else in there" He gestures towards the door.

I nod "I know he doesn't deserve me...i just thought he might actually show me one good night" I grab some of the dress fabric.

"I mean he bought me a dress and everything" I chuckle shaking my head.

"i should've known anyways, Cedric was right" Neville squeaks as i jump down from the ledge.
