You're Ba…I Mean the Ball

I smirked as Adrian, Blaise, and I mentioned last night's party. "So did anything actually happen?" Blaise asked.

"I think we've already been over this, I don't kiss and tell." I stated, which means he would naturally assume something did happen, Bes needed to be taken down a notch anyway.

"Damn that means I owe you." Blaise sneered. Right the bet, since he assumed something happened that means technically I slept with Dani. I merely shrugged my shoulders and grabbed some food. Just then I heard a few whispers and looked up in time to see Bes and Dani enter looking refined and put together. Bes whispered something in Dani's ear and she nodded. Then they parted Dani towards the Ravenclaw table and Bes came right to me.

"Draco, I'm only going to ask once. Set the story straight."

" It's hard to set straight a story I didn't tell." I responded.

"Then tell the proper story."

"So wait nothing happened?" Blaise asked. "You shit, I almost paid up!" I merely put my hand up and he stopped talking.

"What if I don't?" I asked.

"Remember the threat I made early this morning before we went to bed?"

"Something about you hurting me?"

"Yes, and I can tell you what I have in mind might just be devastating."

"You've got nothing, Bes, I'm in control."

"So you think." She responded. I had to admit she looked awfully confident for a woman in her situation. She studied me and my reactions, trying to read me. But the way she looked at me was odd, she looked intrigued, but there was something, she looked at me like I was merely her play thing. Just another thing to play with. Another person to manipulate. She was wrong.

"Boys this conversation doesn't leave this table, you're right nothing happened, but I'm not going to correct them."

"So you're sticking to your guns." She stated.

"Yes, I am."

"Well that's a ballsy move." She said smiling. I merely smirked at the compliment. "No matter you'll regret it." She said smiling her wicked smile. "Your ba…I mean the ball's in my court Draco." She said as she got up and walked along the Slytherin table. She stopped and tapped a girl on the shoulder who turned and smiled. I gulped, I couldn't quite tell who it was, damn why did this girl have to be at the other end of the table? But they looked like they were getting along just fine. Bes sat down next to the girl and they began to chat even more. About ten minutes later she got up to leave and Dani followed, I decided to follow them as well, but as soon as I got to the entrance hall, I heard it.

"Drakie!" She screamed she practically tackled me from behind and I merely froze. Bes and Dani turned to face me. "Oh Bes told me everything!"

"What'd she tell you?" I asked frantically.

"Everything Drakie and I'm so sorry! I won't give up on us again!"

"What did she tell you?" I asked again.

"Just how you feel about me, and how you going after Dani was just a way to get my attention and it did now Draco! I love you too!"

"What were her specific words?"

"I don't know, something like, you really care for me you just don't know how to show it because you've never felt anything like the connection that we have." My jaw twitched in anger, I looked over at Bes and Dani who stood next to the stairs, Dani wore a smile, while Bes merely looked on trying to see if her nasty work had done the job. As soon as she saw my anger she had a wicked smile as well.

"Can I just have a minute with Bes?" I asked.

"Of course!" Pansy shrieked. I gave one deep breath and walked calmly over to her.

"You must be so proud."

"You can't say I didn't warn you." She merely stated.

"And now I'll warn you, you don't know what you've started." I sneered.

"Well, well Malfoy' s still got fight in him." She chided.

"I've got more then a little."

"Oh please I'm not scared."

"I don't want you to be scared, merely humiliated." She laughed and I was taken aback by how sweet it was, how her voice rang. That should not emerge from the devil as she was to be known.

"Just know two are playing this game and the ball's now in my court."

"Until your weak comeback sends it straight back to me."

I growled in anger as I stormed back to the common room Pansy following me like a little puppy dog. "So what are we doing today Drakie?"

"You and I are doing nothing!" I snarled.

"Draco, you don't have to hide your feelings anymore." Then I thought of it. I would stifle her and I knew just how.

"Adrian!" I yelled as I saw him walk by Pansy and I.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"I've got something to tell you."

"Dude you were totally right." Adrian pointed out as we sat in the courtyard. "He's totally into her, what I don't understand is why she's returning his affections." He said as she laughed at one of his jokes.

"He pines over her, she loves attention."

"Well then shall I go interrupt them?" I merely smirked as Adrian got up.

"Hey Bes." Adrian said sitting down, Roger merely glared.

"Hey Adrian how are you?" She asked.

"I'm doing well now that I've found you again." She laughed and looked nervously at Roger who might I add looked ready to pounce. This was going to be good.

"That's so sweet." She finally said. Roger merely glared heavily at him from behind her back. I merely looked on as she merely grabbed the pressure point on her wrist.

"Miss Duchaine, your time table." Professor Flitwick siad walking form the school, "Oh and you too Mr. Davis."

"I do believe we have everything together." Roger said, "Good thing you take advanced classes."

"I'm just a regular know it all." Bes joked.

"Do you mind?" Adrian asked extending his hand, she shook her head, so Adrian grabbed the time table from her hand making sure to graze her hand as he did so. He studied her schedule and smiled, "We've got potions, transfigurations, and charms together."

"Really?" She asked. "Forgive me for saying this, but I didn't know you took advanced calsses."

"I don't I'm in Roger's year."

"That would do it." She responded. She was running out of ways to keep the peace.

"So Bes you should come watch the exhibition match this weekend." Adrian said.

"Of course she will because she'll be cheering for her house." Roger snapped.

"Oh is Ravenclaw in that match too?" She asked. Both guy's tempers were rising fast.

"Dani!" Bes suddenly shouted as Dani emerged onto the courtyard. Shit it was just getting good. As soon as Bes left they continued to start each other down.

"Back off man." Roger finally said.

"No way, a hot little thing like her? I'll never back down."

"All you Slytherins are the same." Roger spat. This was getting pretty intense.

"What would you know half breed." Adrian spat before walking away.

"What a jerk." He said as soon as he got to me. "Thanks for letting me know man."

"No problem." I said smirking.
