A/N: Okay, I was super inspired to update my story when I saw that my FAVORITE author, Raelyn Estel, updated her story last night. If you haven't checked out her story, you should (after you finish reading mine of course).

Bella's Point of View

I was happy that Harry had finally decided to back off about where I was disappearing to. I mean, I love my brother and appreciate that he cares so much, but I really did need my personal space. The next day, I dressed in a spaghetti-strap cream colored dress with a sweetheart neckline and floral print. I paired my dress with matching pumps and a matching bag.

When I arrived at the Great Hall, Harry rushed up to me and wrapped his robes around my waist.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I hissed.

"You're dress is way too short and I'll bet that all of the guys here can see up your skirt.

"They're probably not even looking so no need to worry."

"Bella, I want you to go change." He said in a stern voice.

"I don't need to. My outfit is just fine, plus, I'm not getting any complaints." I unhooked his arms and sauntered over to the Gryffindor table with an extra swing of my hips.

"Hot damn, Bella, you look amazing." Ron exclaimed when I sat down. Hermione slapped the back of his head.

"Ron, can you stop talking about my sister like that?" Harry whined.

"Dude, what crawled into your underwear and died?" Ron asked.

"Lay off him, Ron, he's just worried about his little sister." Hermione said. "He's not afraid to admit if he's upset." Harry and I gave her funny looks.

"Well, maybe he actually has something to be upset about." Ron shot back.

"Yes, because Harry is not made of stone." Hermione sneered. Before Ron could say anything else, I stopped them.

"You both need to calm down." I demanded. "Now, I'm going to go to class. Please try to not bite each other's heads off."

I grabbed a croissant and walked out the room. The first few classes I had were Charms, Ancient Runes, and Transfiguration. I didn't get to see Draco at all this morning and I was getting a little anxious because he always made a point to see me after my first class.

When it finally came time for lunch, I rushed to the Astronomy tower. I bumped into Draco right at the doorway.

"There you are. I was worried sick." I said giving him a hug.

"I'm sorry I worried you, but I had to skip my morning classes to work on a surprise for you." He responded. "Now I want you to close your eyes." He walked behind me and covered my eyes with his hands.

"You know, I wasn't looking."

"Yes, and this way I'll be absolutely sure that you won't peak." We walked into the Astronomy Tower and the smell of roses filled my nostrils. I opened my eyes and what I saw took my breath away. The Astronomy Tower had been transformed to look like a garden. There were rose petals everywhere and pots of various flowers lining the floor. In the corner, there was a round table with a white tablecloth. A vase of roses was in the center of the table and rose petals surrounded it. There was a covered plate on each side of the table.

"Draco, this is absolutely beautiful." I turned around and jumped into his arms. "How long did it take you?"

"Not that long actually, I just didn't want to go to the rest of my classes after I was finished." He shrugged his shoulders and I laughed. "But the surprise isn't over yet."

"What more could there be?" I asked.

"We are going to dance." He said.

"What?" I looked at him, shocked.

"I'm serious; you probably won't dance with me at the ball because someone could see us; so, I want to dance with you now." He took both of my hands in his.

"I would, but there isn't any music." I pointed out still trying to get out of dancing.

"It's okay; I'm going to hum a song." I laughed at him and placed on hand on his shoulder. He started humming a weird nameless tune while we waltzed around.

"I got the moves." He joked with a wag of his eyebrows.

"Yes, you do." I laughed until my stomach grumbled. "I'm hungry, did you make any food?"

"I did," He led me over to the table and uncovered both of the plates. "What we have here is lobster caviar, duck a l'orange, and for dessert a French chocolate mousse."

"Wow, you really went all out." He held my chair out for me and I sat down. "I didn't even know you could cook."

"There are plenty of things you don't know about me, love." He responded with a smirk.

Harry's Point of View

"Have either of you seen Bella?" I asked Hermione and Ron during our lunch period. That girl just kept on disappearing and it was driving me insane.

"Nope, maybe she went somewhere to study or something." Hermione said. "I always admired her study habits." She added as an afterthought.

"I haven't seen her since breakfast, mate." Ron said his mouth full of food. "If you're so worried about her, why not just use the Marauder's Map?"

I honestly hadn't thought of using it and I rushed to the Gryffindor Common Room or get it. Just as I was leaving I ran into someone; as it turns out, it was Bella.

"Where on earth have you been?" I shouted at her grabbing her shoulders and shaking her for good measure.

"I was studying in the library." She said calmly.

"Oh," I gasped looking at her in shock.

"Why do you keep worrying about these things?" She asked.

"Voldemort is at large and I don't want you getting hurt."

"I know you don't want me getting hurt, but you need to understand that I can take care of myself and that I'll be careful." She said.

"Fine," I sighed. "But you might not want to study so much." I laughed and she gave me a nervous chuckle.

"Can I go now? I need to meet up with Fiona for a Transfiguration project." I waved her away.

"Sure, but tomorrow I'm going to need you to wear a longer dress." I told her as she walked away.

For the rest of the day, I had the feeling that things were starting to get a little strange. For instance, Draco Malfoy and the rest of the Slytherins weren't bothering me and my friends anymore. That alone was strange because in the almost five years that I had been at this school, he had made it his personal mission to make our lives miserable. Also, everyone at school no longer thought I was too much of a nut job and there were quite a number of people who wanted me to teach them Defense Against the Dark Arts.

"Have you guys noticed anything weird lately?" I asked as I sat with Hermione and Ron at dinner.

"What do you mean by weird, Harry?" Hermione asked.

"Malfoy and his cronies haven't been bothering us at all and before they used to make it their mission in life to bother us." I explained.

"Now that you mention it, I have noticed that. What do you think is up with him?" Ron asked. "Do you think he's up to something?"

"I don't know." Hermione said.

"Maybe we should watch him for a while just to make sure that he isn't doing anything suspicious." I said.

"We should use the map tonight." Ron said. Just then Bella came up and sat down beside us.

"Hey, how did the rest of your day go?" she asked.

"Pretty well," I replied. "Although, has Malfoy been bothering you at all?"

"No, has he been bothering you?" When she said this, I noticed that she had an odd look on her face as she said this.

"No, I'm just wondering. He hasn't done anything to anyone at all this year." I said.

"And that's a bad thing because—?"

"I'm just getting a little suspicious. He normally delights in making our lives miserable. I just think that maybe he's planning something really big."

"I doubt that, Harry. I think you're just being paranoid." She said as she stole a bite of my pasta. "I have to go now…I want to work on my potions essay for Snape. He may like me now, but I don't want to risk it." She turned around and waved before walking out the Great Hall.

Bella's Point of View

I hurried out the Great Hall and straight towards the library. Draco and I had decided to meet there. We both felt that it was just best to hide in plain sight. Also, Draco wasn't known for going to the library so I doubted anyone would look for him there.

"Hello, my love." He greeted me at the entrance with a peck on my lips.

"Hi, Draco, let's go and find a nice secluded corner so we can get some studying done." I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards a corner to the right of the restricted section. I then pulled out my potions book and parchment and began to write my essay for Snape.

"You mean you were actually serious about us doing homework?" Draco asked in a mock surprised voice.

"Very funny," I responded dryly. "Yes I was being serious. I can't have my boyfriend failing now can I?"

"No, but how about you give me a little something in return for doing my work." He proposed. I thought for a second.

"How about, for each correct answer, I give you a kiss and for each incorrect answer I take away a kiss?"

"That seems fair, which means we will need and un-biased third party to check my work. I don't know if you'll cheat or not." He stuck his tongue out at me and began working.

The hours in the library seemed to fly by and soon, Mrs. Pince was kicking us out.

"So…do I get my kisses now?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Well, we don't know if you got them right yet," I said lightly pushing him away.

"Okay, we'll go to Professor Snape."

"You know Snape doesn't like Gryffindors. He will automatically side with you." I pointed out.

"And that's exactly what I'm counting on." He grabbed my hand and we ran down the hallway to Snape's dungeon.

I hesitantly knocked on Snape's door. "I'm scared; what if he does something?"

"Now, what's he going to do? We're at Hogwarts and besides, I'll be there and we all know that he absolutely adores me." I rolled my eyes at him.

"Enter," Snape said from behind the large wooden doors. I pushed Draco and he opened the door with a laugh. I made him stand in front of me as a human shield.

"Ah, the female Potter and Draco, what are you two doing here?" he asked in his cold voice.

"I need you to check my homework, sir." Draco said as he pulled the parchment out of his shoulder bag.

"Then why are you here, female Potter?" Snape sneered.

"For, umm, moral support," I stammered. He shot me another glare before turning to look at Draco's homework.

We seemed to be standing there awkwardly for fifteen minutes with only the sound of a quill scratching the parchment. After a few more minutes, Snape dropped his quill and handed Draco back the paper.

"Is that all you two will be needing?"

"Yes and thank you." Draco said as he took the parchment from Snape. He waved and together we walked out of the cold room.

"That guy is seriously the creepiest person I've ever met. I can't believe that he actually teaches here." I grumbled once we were out of earshot. "So, how did you do on your work?"

"Not too bad, out of the twenty-five points that I had to cover, I only missed three." He said with a smirk.

"You just think you're so smart, don't you. I hope your head doesn't explode from that enormous ego." I started to walk away from him before he grabbed my wrist.

"Sorry, babe, we had a deal and I believe that you owe me twenty-two kisses. Now, pay up."

I shot him a mock glare and pulled on the front of his collar until he was flush up against me. I gave him one small peck. "How about we take this to the broom cupboard where we won't be interrupted?" I said with a saucy wink. Without waiting for his reply, I grabbed his tie and dragged him to the cupboard.

The next day was the dance of the dance. I woke up in a good mood and dressed in a grey and black baseball tee, black cotton mini shorts, sneakers, and a pink Vera Bradley patterned backpack. I then walked into the Great Hall and sat beside Ron.

"Do you realize how short those short are? That barely covers your ass and Harry is going to kill you." Ron stated when I sat down.

"I'll be fine. Besides, I won't be wearing this all day because the ball is later tonight." I replied. Ron just rolled his eyes and continued eating. After a few minutes, Harry and Hermione came into the Great Hall and sat down.

"So, are you excited for the dance, Bella?" Hermione asked. "I mean, I know you don't have a date, but I'm sure that every guy would love to dance with you."

"Anyone who wants to dance with you will have to go through me." Harry stated. I rolled my eyes.

"No need to worry, Harry. I'll be perfectly fine. And besides, won't you need to keep track of your date and give her the proper attention?" I said. Before Harry could respond, Dumbledore called for everyone's attention.

"As a special Halloween treat, I have decided to cancel all morning classes." Dumbledore said. Everyone immediately looked happier at the news. Hermione was the only one who seemed to be sulking, which was probably because she would not have any new lessons to start working on her O.W.L.s.

"Come on, Hermione, there's no need to look so glum. We have no classes; we get a break!" Ron exclaimed.

"Do you not see how severe this is? We will have to work twice as hard just to catch up on what we've missed today." Hermione said with a scowl.

"'Mione, it's only one day. You'll be fine." I told her.

"YOU might be fine because you don't have to worry about them for another year, but we have to." Hermione said before getting up from the table. "I expect you boys to meet me in the library early tomorrow morning."

"We go to Hogsmeade tomorrow, remember?" Ron said.

"I know very well what day it is, Ronald. You both just need to meet be so that we can catch up on our studying.

"Hermione, that's when we were going to meet at the Hog's Head to work on the club," Harry whispered in case someone was listening.

"Well, that means you'll have to get up extra early then, won't it." With one final scowl she stomped out the Great Hall.

A/N: Okay, I think that's enough excitement for one day. Anyways, I promise that the Halloween Ball will be coming up next chapter. Please review!
