Elizabeth's POV:
The Winter Ball was only a week away and everyone was talking about it. All of the girls in the castle were talking about who they got asked to the ball and where they're going to buy their ballgowns.
Professor Mcgonagall announced yesterday that we're going to practice the waltz in the ballroom. So students from all houses came piling in the ballroom.
Everyone crowded around Professor Mcgonagall, who was waiting for us in the middle of the dance floor.
"Hello students. As you heard the Winter Ball will be only a week away and I would like to practice some dances. I will need a volunteer as my partner."
Nobody raises up their hand to volunteer.
Professor Mcgonagall sighs. "I guess I have to choose my victim." She says to everybody as she skims through all the boys. "Mr. Weasley. Please come up."
Harry, Ginny, Hermione and I start to laugh silently.
Ron groans and gives us a glare. "Not again. Shut up you guys."
Ron walks towards Professor Mcgonagall and stands awkwardly right next to her. You can see the amusement on Professor Mcgonagall's face.
"Okay Mr.Weasley. Please put your hand on my waist and the other hand on my hand like before." She instructs.
"Yeah. Yeah I know what to do." He tells her.
The music starts and they slowly start to dance . His right foot goes forward as her right foot goes back. Ron was actually dancing pretty well ...until he accidentally stumbled a little and stepped on Professor Mcgonagall's foot. Making everybody laugh. He turns Professor Mcgonagall a couple of times and they waltz around in the middle of the room until the song finished .
Professor Mcgonagall smiles and claps her hands. "Let's give Mr. Weasley a round of applause."
Everyone starts to clap their hands when he was heading back to the group. You hear some people whistling as well.
"Psst. Psst. Weasel!" Draco tries to gets Ron's attention.
"What Malfoy?!" Ron quietly yells back with an annoyed expression on his face
We all turned and faced him. I look at Draco and gave him a look. Trying to tell him to not start anything.
He looks back at me and his face changes from a smirk into a small smile.
"G-Good job out there." He simply says.
"Uh. Thanks. I guess?" Ron replies back to him in more of a question.
I couldn't help but smile at Draco. He smiles back at me and gives me a wink before I face forward, paying attention to Professor Mcgonagall.
"Okay. I would like you to partner up with anyone and start practicing the waltz. Feel the music and most importantly to have fun."
The students listens to what Professor Mcgonagall instructed and started to grab a partner. Draco walks towards me, swiftly grabs me by the waist with one hand and grabs my hand with the other.
Slowly we start to dance. Moving our feet carefully, with us going side by side.
"Thank you Draco." I tell him.
He gives me a look and turns me a couple of times.
"Why are you thanking me, Swan?"
"You seem to just surprise me everyday. Instead of you starting something with Ron, you actually gave him a compliment instead."
