Black And Green

Eighteen

E m i l y

The days have passed quickly and the day for the Yule Ball has come. The Great Hall was occasionally decorated with ribbons and candles and the big tables were gone. They put some musical instruments on the stage and everything was set up for tonight.

Ginny was still mad at Harry for choosing Cho as his partner but he can't understand the reason why Ginny acts like this. I guess he will find out tonight.

As for Hermione she didn't have Ron as her date which didn't really surprised me. I know that Ron is a coward about expressing his feelings so she said yes to Marco, a Ravenclaw guy. He seemed very okay and the right one for Hermione.

"Hey Ginny can I talk to you?" Seamus came close to us.

"Yeah sure" she answered and they went a little farther.

"So Emily we have been thinking..." Fred and George were talking to me.

"Since you don't have a date you should come with us! We always go together but it would be fun to have you too" Fred said and I raised my eyebrow laughing.

"I mean yeah sure!" I said laughing.

"Brilliant! We will meet you at the Great Hall" George said and they left. Then, Ginny came up to me smiling.

"Did we just got dates?" she asked laughing.

"I guess we did. But you and Seamus? That's weird" I said honestly and she nodded scrunching her nose.

"Yeah it is. But I hope it will make Harry realise his loss" she agreed and we went up to our room to get ready for the dance.

[..]

After two hours we were almost ready. Hermione was wearing a pink knee length dress which at the end was fluffy, Ginny wore an above the knee yellow dress which was perfectly matching her fire red hair. I put on my silk green dress and some very small hoops. We all three kept it casual for the shoes.

"And you are ready" Ginny tapped my shoulders when she finished my hair. They were lovely, totally straight and she put the half on a small bun.

"Thanks Ginny" I smiled and now they only thing that was left was our make up.

I put on some pink blush, a matte nude color and Ginny let me borrow her eyeliner which I used it making a thin line and a small wing.

Ginny put on some gloss, blush and mascara and Hermione did the same.

"Okay so we are ready" Hermione said and we looked on the mirror for our reflections.

"Damn, we are hot" Ginny said and we started laughing with her joke.

We could hear the music from our room, so it was time for us to go downstairs. The time was 8 o'clock and the Great Hall was full.

As we were walking in I realized that George and Fred spotted us and were coming towards us.

"Ladies, you are wonderful" Fred said and we all three smiled.

"Thank you guys" I said and that time Marco and Seamus had arrived to take each one his date and we all split up.

"Hey Fred look at this" George said and showed a Slytherin couple.

"Isn't this the guy that you gave those dissolved vomit pills?" he said and I wide opened my eyes.

"Yes you are right! Poor girl the only date for her tonight will be her bin!" Fred answered and I tried not to laugh. Today's night won't be so bad I guess.

[..]

It was passed 10 when I lost the twins and I went to fill my cup. I walked to the corner were the punch was and I started pouring some with the big spoon. When I turned around my body crashed with somebody's else and I spilled my drink a little but only on the floor.

"Are you blind?!" I asked the other person and my eyes met with a pair of big gray.

"Are you stupid and you don't know how to walk?!" he said back and I rolled my eyes.

"Nice dress", he said scanning me from toes to hair, "Where is the rest of it?" he said arrogantly and I tried to pass him angry but he stood in front of me blocking my way.

"Leave me alone" I said serious and he licked his lips laughing. I rolled my eyes and pushed him so I could go back to find the twins and he didn't stop me this time.

"Black and Green, love the combo! Unfortunately it brings out the slut you are" he shouted so I could hear him from the loud music and I felt my blood boiling. As I turned around to go back to him fast I noticed that Oliver Wood was trying to do the same.

"What did you say to her?!" he screamed at his face pointing at me.

"The boyfriend came to fight!" Malfoy said and I was trying to find someone to help before things would end bad.

"Don't you agree too? I mean look at her. I can see it on your face that you are nice to her just because you want to fuck her" Malfoy said and that's when I heard the first punch from Oliver. He managed to find him on his jaw and from the strength he fell down. Malfoy stood up rubbing his jaw laughing and then he got serious.

"You are so screwed" he said bitterly and he hit him hard on the face. He threw him on the floor and he sat on him keep punching him.

"Stop!! Stop it!! What is wrong with you?!" I started screaming and pushing him back from his shoulders but he wouldn't move. I looked up to the crowed and noticed Cedric Diggory passing by.

"Cedric!!" I screamed and ran to him.

"You need to come here quickly. He is going to kill him!" I shouted and he nodded following me.

"Malfoy, back off!" he shouted and dragged him from the behind of his neck back finally splitting them.

"Oh my God Oliver!" he was on the ground with his eye swollen and some open wounds on his face.

"Its okay. You are okay" I said and I helped him to stand up.

"I will take him. Will you be okay alone with him?" Cedric asked me and showed me Malfoy. When I realized he was staring at me I felt more angry than ever.

"Very fine" I said bitterly and stood in front of his face.

"What's the matter with you?! You were going to kill him!" I yelled and he shook his shoulders.

"He threw the first fist. Tell your boyfriend to not mess with people better than him" he said and I could see that his jaw was developing a purple bruise on it.

"He is not my boyfriend. And you  are such an arrogant asshole" I hissed on his face and he smiled ironically.

"I have actually been called worst things than that and I meant everything I said. He wants to fuck you and only that" he said and I put my hand in the air to slap him but he took my wrist pressing me hard. I put my other free hand on the air to hit his face with that but he did the same with the other one and pushed me on the wall. His body was against mine, pushing me on the wall and holding my wrists upon my head.

"Don't you dare hit me again" he whispered to me, his warm breath was hitting my neck. I looked at him straight in the eyes, nose to nose when he looked my hands I found it easy to slip away from his hold.

I passed him and started running to get out from the Great Hall to get some air. I went inside the first bathroom I found and I felt I was choking this whole time. I looked at myself in the mirror and I saw Malfoy's reflection from behind.

"What are you doing? You can't be here-" I said but he started walking towards me.

"Black" he called my name interrupting me.

"Yes?" I asked curious with trembling voice.

"What are these?" he asked and took my wrists in his hands.

Shit shit shit.
