Masquerades & You

A One-Shot

Written For: Asking Me Where My Love Grows' First Kiss Challenge

She looks at me. Her face is hidden under the mask, but somehow I can tell who it is. It is my best friend, someone whom I'd thought wasn't coming to the ball.

But now it doesn't matter, does it?

She's come- for I'm sure it's her- and now that's all what is needed. I think she knows who I am, flirting like that. It's probably the inherent platinum blond hair that gives it all away.

A few minutes later, a voice that I recognise as James Potter's- her cousin's- announces that it's time for the lights to go on and the masks to off.

I take a deep breath in, and as the countdown is done with, I slowly slide the mask down my face. Opening my eyes, I see a beautiful girl front of me. She has chestnut eyes, thick red hair, and the most enchanting smile I've ever seen.

But that's just probably a mark of me liking her.

For it's her, my best friend. I smile at her, and she smiles back. Then, gathering all the courage I have left, I did what I'd probably wanted to do for so long.

Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy swooped down and kissed Rosalind Amelia Weasley in front of the Great Hall.
