So how is everyone? I've been updating a lot recently but I've been dying to see the finished thing. I've had this in my mind for ages and I just need to write it down. For disclaimer go to chapter 3.
All people were talking about leading up to Halloween was the ball. I hadn't spoken to Malfoy much since Dumbledore told us we had to go together. And I still hadn't asked him about what Pansy said. There was a hogsmeade weekend coming up and Ginny and I were going to get our costumes. We went to the costume shop and looked around for a bit. Ginny found this really nice white, one sholder, goddess like dress and handed it to me. "why are you giving this to me? There is no way I could wear that". "don't be silly Mione. you'll look amazing in that. You can even be Athena, goddess of wisdom. Malfoy won't know what hit him". "speaking of which, you didnt tell anyone I'm going with him did you?" "No. Dont worry. Now that dress". She sent me to the dressing room and made me try it on. I came out and Ginnys mouth went into the shape of an O. "oh wow Mione. You look amazing". "you think so?" "I know so". I took off the dress and went to pay for it. Ginny bought a sexy devil costume with horns, a tail and a trident.
When we got back to the castle it was dinner time so we dropped the bags off at my room and headed to the great hall. We sat down, Ginny next to Harry and me next to Ron, who looked like he wanted to say something. After a long while he spoke up. "so who are you going to the ball with?" he asked us. Ginny replied first " Harry and I are going together" she told him. "what?" he exclaimed. "thats great. Why didn't you tell me?" "well we thought you'd freak out" Harry explained. "okay. I suppose that's a reasonable explanation. So Mione, wanna go with me?" he asked hopefully, his ears as red as his hair. What an I gonna do. If I tell him who I'm going with he'll freak. But if I lie to him and he finds out he'll still freak. Maybe I should just tell him I'm going with someone and not tell him who I'm going with. Yeah that will will work. So that's what I told him. "oh Ron. I'm sorry but I'm already going with someone". His face immediately fell. "oh we'll that's ok. So who are you going with then?" he asked curiously. Of course he had to ruin my plan. "Malfoy" I muttered. "what was that?" "Malfoy alright I'm going with Malfoy" I said loudly. By now the whole hall was listening. "WHAT!" he shouted "how could you do this to me Mione? I thought we were friends?" he shouted at me. "Ronald Weasley! You can not tell me who I can and can not go to the ball with! And for your information Dumbledore said we had to go together" I shouted back. By this time we were both standing up in between the Gryffindor and Slytherin tables. "you could have told him you were dating someone" he told me. "oh yeah? And who would I have said I was dating?" I retorted. "me. You could have said you were dating me hermione. Hermione I love you. I love you and this is what you do to me. You go off and start dating Malfoy" Everyone, including me was shocked at his revelation. I was about to retort and tell him we weren't dating when Malfoy decided to step in. "okay weasley enough is enough" he said angrily. "oh come to save your girlfriend have you Malfoy?" asked Ron coldly. "just fuck off and leave her alone you bastard" replied Malfoy. "that's it Malfoy". Ron raised his fist to punch Malfoy and I knew I had to step in. "just let him be Draco. Come on we need to go to the library". I grabbed him by the arm and dragged him out of the hall.
I dragged him up to the dorms and grabbed my homework. I walked back out the portrait with Malfoy on my tail. I headed straight to the library without stopping. I entered through the large wooden doors and headed straight for a table at the back. When I sat down Malfoy sat down next to me. After a while I decided to speak. "thanks for defending me back there but why did you do it?" I was genuinely curious."well... Er... I just didn't think he should have said those things to you. I mean, it wasn't our fault was it? And why did you call me Draco?" he said awkwardly. "eh.. I guess it was a slip of the tongue" I replied weakly. "so he loves you huh?" he said smugly. "do you love him?" his eyes darkened as he said this. It looked to me like jealousy. But it couldn't be. I answered his question none the less. "well I used to think I loved him. But ever since fourth year and the incident with Krum I kinda have up and moved on. I mean, I waited for years for him to ask me out and he never plucked up the courage" I told him honestly."I know how you feel. Well kinda. See I used to always think I would marry Pansy someday. But then one day I realised that I didnt like her anymore" he told me. "that is quite like my situation. "so what did Pansy mean you've been defending me a lot lately?" I asked. "well I don't know really" he said awkwardly. "right" I replied."eh.. I don't mean to be rude but why are we here? We've finished all our homework". "oh well when I get upset I usually come to the library. It's like my sanctuary" I explained. "do you want to go back to the common room then?" he asked. "sure let's go". So we got up and headed to the common room.
There it is guys chapter 7. Can't believe I'm up to it already. What do you think is up with Malfoy? Hope you review and vote in my poll. :D
