Chapter 1
Tonight is the night everyone has been waiting for, everyone except for Draco Malfoy. He hates attending to parties like these, parties that includes dancing. Everyone knows that the Malfoy Family are excellent dancers but Draco still dislikes it. However, he will give chance to those who want to really dance with him.
He tightened his bowtie for the last time, combed his platinum hair and went out of the room.
"I thought you're not going to the ball?" Blaise asked.
"Well, I changed my mind; I was concerned about the people who will miss the Malfoy's greatest talent and those who will miss my essence." Draco said with a smirk.
"If that's the case then, you should wear that." Blaise said, pointing at the silver mask on the floor in front of Draco.
"And why, should I?"
"The theme for tonight's ball is Masquerade, you know."
"Okay okay." Draco said, rolling his eyes.

The moment Draco entered the great hall, his attention shifted to the girl wearing an emerald green silk dress and a silver mask. With her brown hair fixed to curls. What put him off somehow was the fact that she was dancing with, none other than, Harry Potter, his nemesis. He recognized him by his thunder scar. A slytherin and a gryffindor dancing together? The fact disgusts him. He needs to make a move.
After several minutes, the slytherin girl was done dancing with pot-head. And he was on his way to ask her to dance but someone already did. It was a red-haired guy who was taller than her. Fortunately, the girl didn't accept it. Well, this would be hard for Draco because the girl seems to be picky but Draco still believes in his guts.
The girl was sitting on a chair waiting for someone to ask her to dance. And Draco was waiting for her to look at him. His arms are on a table and his back against the wall, his right arm holding a wine glass, totally seductive.
And finally, Draco catches her attention after waiting for a couple of minutes. Her eyes were filled with curiosity and so many things that made Draco love to watch her eyes more. She had something that no other girl has, but he doesn't know what it is.
Draco walked towards the slytherin girl to ask her for a dance. She stiffened.
"Miss, are you waiting for someone?"
"I am not. And why are you asking?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at Draco.
"Can I dance with you then?" Draco said, while handing her a red rose.
"Thank you for the rose but I don't like receiving them from random people. And I'm not interested to dance with you." She said.
"Why not?"
"You're not good enough." She said, rudely.
"How about I show you some wand less magic?" He said, but before he can cast a spell, the girl stopped him. And his eyes met hers but before it last the girl looked away.
She cleared her throat and said "I don't want to dance."
"It's near midnight; want to spend the rest of the time someplace else?" Draco asked.
"Sure, but my challenge is for you not to take off your mask for the rest of the night."
"Deal" Draco said.
