Pair: Ron and Draco, and other things
Disclaimers: Ron and Draco are not mine, sadly. Insert proper disclaimer here. Scene inspiration from Mean Girls--- I laughed my head off.
note: Somehow, I have a sneaking suspicion that I'll end up writing a sequel. This was meant to be a joke for a fic but...

It was the night before everyone was to be sent out on their missions. As for compensation that they were about to throw their lives away for a war they did not belong in, there was this ball. Hopefully, it won't be their last dance.Though doubt and fear loomed over their heads, there was an effort to forget. A short while was all they asked as hands reached out for each other. Legs intertwined with arms linked in an embrace, swaying with the soft beat of the song.
To the left were Parvati and Longbottom, laughing with their heads together. Longbottom was blushing and seems that Parvati was pushing him to do something daring for once. A few ways off were Chang and Zabini, strange couple but looked solemn nonetheless. Next to them were Crabbe and Goyle, stupidly snickering and dancing together with four left feet. Drunk, no doubt. Was that Snape dancing with Dumbledore? What a hilarious sight. Ah, no they were just talking with McGonaggall. He coughed, trying to clear his mind of the image of the oldest people around dancing together like love fools – like most of the students at the moment.
A soft yelp startled him and brought him back to who he was dancing with. He apologized with a sheepish grin which was returned in kind with a soft chuckle. He wasn't alone in observing people, he noticed.
Their eyes met. Doubtful as to what that spark truly meant.
Leaning closer, ever so slightly, everyone around them were either kissing or snuggling together. The mood was in the air.
Awkwardly, their lips met.
They chorused, shuddering at the clumsy touch and letting go of each other. And it was over. Barely a second had passed. He pulled away from her with an apologetic smile, I'll go get a drink.
She laughed at him, shoving him away with an amused sparkle in her eyes. Turning around, he noticed that someone comfortably slipped in the space he had left behind. Harry and Hermione --- what a sight.
I saw that. You're so incompetent, you can't even ki---
And the night was lost in a swirl of promises between friends, lovers, even foes.
