The Ball- Part 2

Draco and Tiana walked through the double doors to the rose garden. Tiana was amazed as she saw the garden, it was beautiful with roses in pink, red, and yellow. Draco watched as the girl walk over to the flower and as she picked one, a dozen fairies flew. She giggled and turned him, happiness and love shining in her emerald eyes.

Tiana slipped her hand into his and pulled him further into the garden. Tiana started shiver slightly. Draco looked at her and asked "Are you cold?" She nodded. He took off his cloak and draped it over her shoulder.

" So what does this mean for us," Tiana asked, looking at their intertwined hands "Am I your girlfriend now?"

Draco smiled and replied "I was hoping you would" as they sat at the doe statue " So have you thought about our conversation in potions class"

Tiana sighed but answered all the same "Yes, But I'm still not sure because in the end doesn't even matter"

"Don't worry" He assured her "In the end, you will find the correct path for yourself" Draco looked at the statue behind them "You know, my mum told me lily's animagus was a doe" he said changing the subject.

" Your mum seems to know a lot about mine"Tiana said with a smile

"They were best friends"

"I thought purebloods hated muggleborns"

"most, but Lily Potter nee Evans gained respect of purebloods. Brightest witch of her generation, protected her friends, always humble, fought for what she believed in. Who wouldn't respect that"

"That's good" She whispered, glad that someone could tell her about Lily. All she ever heard about was James. They sat in a silence embrace for about 20 minutes before they went back into the great hall and sat in the nearest seat. Tiana inwardly groaned as she saw her friends. She turned to Draco and asked "could you go get some drinks " He nodded and left.

"Tiana, Why didn't you tell us" Hermione said with an understanding smile.

" because I knew Ron would act like this,"Tiana started "but not you"

"You were right in guessing I would be like this" Ron mumbled before getting loud again"and what about your duet when Malfoy got up there, I was angry, But when you sang, my hate for him was... fogged up and all I felt was happy"Hermione's eyes got a calculating look.

"We need to research that. It could be some sort of unusual magical talent" She said and Tiana rolled her eyes.

"Why did you come the Ferret" Ron question/complained.

"Princess, I didn't know being insulted by your friends was part of the relationship"An amused voice said. She turned and gave him smirk.

"You may be a ferret, but your my ferret" Tiana and Hermione giggled as Ron left the table, gagging and Draco blushed." Sit down"

Tiana took a sip of her butterbeer and turned to talk to her best friend. Draco made easy conversation with Hermione, even though they would never be friends.

"Malfoy, what are your plans for Tiana" Hermione asked, ignoring Tiana's protest.

Draco looked at her and replied " I plan to date her"

"but what about the war. Your dad is dark. Oh! It'll be like Romeo and Juliet!" She said in an excited voice. Draco looked to Tiana for help, which he got

"Hermione, calm down. Draco doesn't know Romeo and Juliet, he's pureblood" she groaned. Why did everybody focus on light and dark, there were also shades of gray. Hermione left to find her date, leaving Tiana and Draco alone again. Tiana looked at the clock as she finished her butterbeer. She sighed as she looked at Draco.

"I had a good time, it was beautiful"

"you're beautiful' Draco said, and Tiana ducked her head to hide her blush " Hey, don't hide, it's true. You are the most beautiful person I've ever met"

He lifted Tiana's head to stare into her emerald eyes. Draco leaned in slightly and she met him halfway. Theirs lips met and their minds were lost. They never experienced anything like it. They broke apart when they heard the Headmaster announce the end of the ball.

"Goodnight, Dragon" She yawned, finally realizing how tired she was.

"Goodnight, Princess" Draco said as he turned to leave.

Tiana got to the tower well past midnight. She changed out of her dress and put her jewelry in her trunk, hissing a parseltongue command to lock. She was asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

A/N: I've been having some problems with reviewers. Just because it's not the best, I don't appreciate being called a troll. I'm not. I have very low self esteem, so it hurts when people say that. If you don't like it just don't read it and don't comment. I do this for fun not because I have to. So If you want me to continue, I'm happy to, If you want to bash my story, You can stuff it
