Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait! This chapter took me awhile. And it's the longest! I need to write all my chapters like this! So this is the Yule Ball chapter and this is where Gabrielle/Colin actually happens! I had so much fun writing this! Thanks for all the reviews btw.

OMG HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2! It was the best movie I have ever seen in my life! I saw it twice. I've already started drafting a Neville/Luna fanfiction! I'm really sad its over but its not really over. Its like star wars: our kids will watch it and love it as much as we did. Well maybe not as much because this generation is obsessed! I pride myself in being born the year that the first book was released Anyway enough with me talking! Enjoy this chapter!

Gabrielle stood looking at her reflection in the mirror with pride. She looked pretty damn good. She wore a gown of crystal blue to contrast with her hair. The dress was long with cut sleeves. It did appear to be made of crystal as the dress was covered in small sparkles. It slimmed at the waist to show her impeccable shape. Her hair was tied up in an elegant know at the top of her head. She was quite exquisite. She exited the carriage and made her way to where Fleur was standing with her date, Roger. Max stood some paces behind them, toying with some grass. Gabrielle walked towards her sister. Fleur looked up and stared.

-"Oh Gabrielle! Tu es charmante!" Gabrielle gave her sister a small smile and a hug before walking towards Max. He looked at her, and for a moment explored her body hungrily with his eyes. Gabrielle looked down uncomfortably. Max then held out his arm. She took it and they made their way to the castle.

The Yule Ball was in full swing. Gabrielle and Max sat with some of his friends and he chatted away to them, completely oblivious of his date. At sometime in the evening, Gabrielle noticed one of Max's friends disappear and then come back later, with bottles in his hand. Gabrielle politely refused the drink being handed to her. She had a sickening suspicion that it wasn't pumpkin juice. Later on in the night, her suspicions were confirmed, as the group of people got rowdier. Max leaned in to her and she backed away at the reeking stench of alcohol that came from him.

-"Common honey. Let's dance." He growled, roughly pulling her on the floor. Gabrielle didn't want to but his grip on her wrist was too strong. They joined the throng of dancing students. At first everything was fine. Gabrielle was almost enjoying herself as she danced along to the Weird Sisters music. But then Max came up behind her and wrapped strong arms around her waist. She tried to wriggle out of his grip but was unsuccessful. He turned her around and he started to grind against her. She pushed back as hard as she could but still could not shake him off. He leaned forward and started to kiss the crook of her neck. He hardly even noticed her squirming. And then his lips got closer and he crashed them against hers. His lips were slimy and tasted like alcohol. She pushed him away with all the force she could muster. He pulled away from her and she reacted on instinct. She slapped him. He pulled back a hand covering his face. Fire leapt into his eyes as he started to walk slowly back towards her. But then someone stepped in front of Gabrielle, creating a shield. It was her sister. She stood guard as Max approached. Roger attempted to pull him back but was unsuccessful. Max looked absolutely terrifying, like a gigantic troll. But Fleur stood her ground as she protected the one thing that was important to her. When Max reached them he punched Fleur straight in the face. He then grabbed for Gabrielle. But before he did, he was stunned from 5 different spells in the room. Dumbledore and Mme Maxine had their wands, out as well as Fleur and Roger. Gabrielle looked around for the source of the last spell and saw that Cedric Diggory had his wand out as well. She felt a wave of gratitude for all of them, especially Cedric, considering that she hardly knew him. She swallowed and looked up suddenly as Cedric held out his hand to help her up. She took it gratefully and was hoisted to her feet. Roger was crouched over a hunched over Fleur and Mme Maxine was making her way to her prize student as well. Gabrielle looked around to notice that all the eyes in the hall were on her. She was the centre of attention.

Colin was really bored in the Gryffindor common room so he took a walk out on the grounds. He walked between the gazebos and tents that had been put up for the ball. He looked around, admiring the fountains and flowers that curved artistically around them. He turned a corner and entering a new gazebo, stopped dead in his tracks. Sitting on a bench, her head in her hands, weeping tears, was the most beautiful girl ever. Everyday he found her beautiful but tonight she was just stunning. She wore a gorgeous blue dress and her unmistakable silver hair was tied creatively on the back of her head. He sat beside her and put his arm around her shoulder. She looked up through the cracks of her fingers. It was the cutest thing he had ever seen. She put her head on his shoulder.

-"Oh Colin! You were right! I should have never gone to ze ball with him." Gabrielle wept. He took her hand and rubbed comforting circles on the bag of her hand.

-"Shhhh, it's okay. Tell me what happened." As she recounted the story, his fists clenched in anger. He was going to kill this guy. Screw school policies. But then he realized that doing that would be no good, as he would have to leave Gabrielle alone here which he did not want to do. He also realized that this Max guy would probably win.

-"I got ze attention I wanted, and it felt horrible." She declared when she had finished recounting the story. "I am so sorry. I should have listened. Please forgive me." She said looking up at him with sad eyes. He kissed the top of her head. He didn't know why he did it but it felt right.

-"There is nothing to forgive. You look beautiful by the way." She smiled shyly. He then made a decision, one that he would never regret. "Would you like to dance?" He said standing up. He held out his hand. She sat there open mouthed for what seemed like forever.

-"Sure. I vould love that." She said placing her hand in his. It felt right in so many ways. Their hands fit together, like puzzle pieces. He led her to the centre of the gazebo. He gently put his hands on her hips and she placed her arms around his neck. They immediately noticed the lack of music. The moment they thought that, instruments appeared out of nowhere and started playing a slow melody, with no apparent musicians. The couple started to dance, with Colin leading. They danced and danced until their feet were tired and they were out of breath. Gabrielle tripped over Colin's feet and they both fell to the ground. They looked at each other and started laughing. They laughed for what seemed like forever. They were in tears by the end. Colin got up and held out his hand to help Gabrielle up. She took it but instead, pulled him down so that he was on top of her. They lay for a short second, looking at each other. And then Colin's lips were on hers. At first she did not respond and Colin got worried. But then she responded with so much passion that Colin's heart soared. Gabrielle savored every moment of this kiss. It was so unlike the one she had with Max. This one was full of truth and happiness. And love. They came out of the kiss, breathing for air.

-"You were also right about everything you said. I was afraid. I was afraid that you didn't love me the way that I love you. I was afraid that I would lose your friendship, which I cherish too much." Declared Colin. "But I'm not afraid anymore. Gabrielle Delacour, will you go on a date with me?"

-"Yes! Absolument!" And Colin had no time for words as she pulled him down for another kiss.

So there we go I know I haven't even writing the second task yet but I am at a lost about what to do for the third task. Should I even have it? It feels necessary though now that Gabrielle and Cedric had that small moment. Anyways please let me know and REVIEW please!
