Hi there. :) I'm back. Heres chapter 10. I don't have much to say right now. :)

I do not own Harry Potter, JK Rowling does.

Chapter 10- Homecoming Dance

The highly anticipated homecoming dance came quicker than I thought it would. After turning down three boys and Ron Weasly, I felt horrible. I sat in Britney's and Chloe's Ravenclaw dormatory in my dark green, strapless dress that Draco had bought me. A small bow was carefully placed directly under my ribcage on the right. The dress was poofy and spread out on Chloe's bed as I waited for my makeup to be done. My long black gloves covered my dark mark and went all the way up to my elbows. My long, light blonde hair was lying down, covering the golden snitch necklace Draco had given me as a gift earlier in the week. Britney's date was Fred Weasly, one of Ron's older brother and Chloe decided to go solo. And I was stuck with Draco.

Chloe went ahead and went to the dance before me and Britney did. I sat on her bed, looking down at my feet.

"Cheer up Charlotte!" Britney came and sat next to me on the bed. "He can't be too bad."

"It's not that. I just feel so nervous." I responded. I didn't tell her about Draco and I leaving after the dance to go to the Malfoy Manor.

i smiled for a quick second then frowned as I put my hands on my necklace. I tood up and looked at myself in a full length mirror. I stared at the reflection for what seemed like hours.

Black eyeliner lined my eyes while a light green eyeshadow brought out my emerald green eyes. My pale complexion stood out against the dark green dress. My black gloves wrapped around my arms tightly. My black stilettos added three inches to my height. I moved my hair away from my necklace which revealed the gold peice of jewelry dangling from my neck. The tiny gold ball soon popped out wings from it's sides then the wings started to flap which tickled my neck as the wings flapped faster and faster.

"You ready?" Britney asked me impateintly.

"Yeah." I told her as I made my way to the small doorway.

The walk all the way down from the Ravenclaw dormatories to the staircase leading into the Great Hall was long. The dance started in ten minutes exactly and it took about 15 minutes in heals to get down to where the dance was being held, but when we did make it to that staircase, our dates were awaiting us at the bottom. I turned around as soon as I saw Draco and Ron.

"i can't do this." I muttered to Britney.

"Yes, you can Charlotte! now go!" She violently turned me around and gave me a slight push, forcing me to take a step on the stairs.

I saw Draco smirk a tad as I some-what strutted down the staircase while Ron stared in awe though Ron wasn't my date. I made a quick comparison of the dress robes both of them were wearing. Draco was wearing new, black dress robes while Ron was wearing old, vintage, and interesting dress robes.

As soon as I got down to the bottom of the staircase, Draco rushed towards me and grabbed my hand formally like he had at the death eater celebration party.

"My fionce looks quite gorgous tonight. I am so lucky to have the hottest girlfriend ever. Unlike Weasly, who can't even get a filthy mudblood." Draco sneered at Ron as we passed Harry and Ron as we entered the finely decorated Great Hall.

A beautiful waltz sounded from the orchestra who wasn't cured to play like at the dinner parties I had recently attended.

Draco quickly grabbed my waist as we joined the other couples on the dance floor. On the corner of my eye, I saw Chloe partying around and Briney happily waltzing with Fred.

"Chin up, Charlotte. Your going to be a Malfoy soon, you have to start acting it. Your better than everyone else here." Draco took his free hand and pushed my chin up to meet his eyes. Draco lifted me into the air in sync with the rest of the couples and put me down softly after the lift was complete. After I was safe on the ground, we continued to waltz.

"Hey Draco, can you go get me some punch? I heard someone spiked it, so can you get me the un-spikeed one?"

"Of course." I followed Draco until I found an empty seat with all the rejects who weren't dancing.

"I'll just sit here and wait for you to come back."

"Stay here then." Draco rushed to the punch table which had many kinds of punches laid out on the table.

I sat alone watching happy teenage couples twirl each other around in circles. It was truely a happy moment for everyone, including me. A red headed boy in hand me down dress robes walked up to me and stood in front of me.

"Did Draco leave without you?" Ron asked me.

"Your'e filled with questions aren't you?"

"I am actually."

"He just left to get me punch. He'll be back soon."

"Until then, do you want to dance with me? You told me you would save me a dance. And plus, you shouldn't be sitting there alone." He held out his hand.

"Why not?" I took his offer. He led me out onto the dance floor nervously.

"Draco was right, you do look beautiful tonight." He looked dorectly into my eyes as his non confident hands grabbed me at the waist. "That's one thing I agree with him on."

I looked up into his eyes and then smiled in his direction. "Your hand me down robes are pretty funny. I can't lie." I giggled.

"Draco is rubbing off on you." Ron sighed.

"He's my fionce Ron...I'm sorry. I can't change that. But I also think your antique dress robes are unique." I smiled.

"And your brand new dress looks great on you. Did Draco buy it for you?"

"Yeah. I was going to buy it myself but he bought it for me. He told me I deserved a new dress, so I wasn't like the Weaslys' wearing older dresses and robes. I should get used to it I guess. I sorta wish he didn't have as much money as he did."

"You do deserve it, Charlotte." He admitted. "Another point for Malfoy."

"Don't worry about it! Rumor has it that Herminoe has a huge crush on you."

I peeked over at the drink table just as Draco was about to head back to the table I was supposed to be sitting at. I rushed back to the table and sat back down in the seat I was in before Ron offered to dance with me.

"I'm back Princess." Draco gave me the punch which I downed instantly. After I was done drinking, Draco pulled me up as a new song started to play. Right before we were going to waltz again, a loud bang came from the celing as it crumbled to the floor. Two death eaters fell from the enormous hole that they had made. Everyone screamed as Bellatrix made her way towards Draco and me. Greyback followed reluctantly.

"I thought you said they were coming after, Draco." I whispered to him.

"Thats what I thought." Draco whispered back.

"Sorry to crash your fancy gala." Bellatrix's wicked laugh echoed throughout the Great Hall. "I've come to claim my two co-workers."

Everyone held out ther wands and aimed it at the two death eaters. Before any of the students or professors could mutter a spell, Bellatrix knocked them out with a simple non-verbal spell. Draco and I were back to back holding our wands just like the others were.

"Draco, Charlotte, come with us." She ordered us.

Without conflict, we both wnet. We both were upset. I could tell in Draco's face. Now most of the school knew we were death eaters.

"Charlotte! You don't have to go with them!" He rushed over to the scene.

"I have to Ron... Or else he'll kill me." I cried.

"Whats this?" Bellatrix's crazy voice started. "A Weasly telling a Darcey what to do? That's odd."

"I'm her friend." He held his wand in Bellatrix's face. His hands were trembling in fear.

"Spucify!" Bellatrix yelled. Before we knew it, Ron was unconcious over by the orchestra which was more than 9 meters away.

"That's what you get Weasly when you mess with my fionce." Draco yelled towards Ron, trying to sound tough.

I stood speechless, filled with anger and himuliation.

"Now come you two. We have a lot to do before your wedding, the war, and everything else."

"What about our stuff Bella?" I asked, keeping my chin up.

"It's already in the Malfoy Manor. Now quit poking around and let's go. The Second Wizarding War is beginning!" Bellatrix told us. "now come along."

I forced myself to get on the broomstick with Draco. It was a slight challenge in the dress but I managed. Draco operated the broomstick as I wrapped my arms around his waist to keep myself on it.

Bellatrix's laughter echoed thoughout the chilly, night sky which held no stars and no moon. The second wizarding war was beginning and the death eaters were rallying up their troops.

And within an instant, we left Hogwarts in the misdt.
