Chapter 10
"Oh my god! Juno is that you?" Hermione beamed at me as I walked down the steps outside the Great Hall. I grinned and nodded though I wasn't surprised that she could recognise me as we had shopped together.
"Like it?" I asked smiling at them.
"Hell yeah!" Ginny squealed in my ear. I think I just turned deaf. "Ginny what's with the excitement?" I heard Ron's voice from behind and we turned. Harry and Ron, dressed up as a pirate and a wizard respectively looked at me with confusion.
"I'm sorry have we seen you some where?" they asked. I rolled my eyes through my mask, Gosh guys were so blank.
"I'll meet you inside" I told them and walked off.
I turned back to look at them and saw them pointing at me, as soon as they saw me looking they looked away. I giggled and walked in. Most eyes turned to look at me as I did.
All the guys stared and hard and the girls stared even harder to glare at me. Well at least they didn't recognise me. I sighed and praised myself for choosing to wear a mask with my gown. I had decided to come dressed at Aurora.
Wondering who she was?
The Princess form sleeping Beauty, as a kid I had always admired the way her Prince had come and rescued her from the castle while she slept away, well what can I say I believed in True Love and was a die hard romantic.
My Pink gown had been accompanied by gloves, but I decided against wearing those, and matched the gown with pink heels.
This was to be the first dance programme I had ever attended; I juts hoped that it wouldn't turn out to be a disaster.
As I walked in I noticed Draco with Pansy at his side, she was making all kissy faces at him, trying to seduce him I guessed but with no results. I snorted and met continued observing her behaviour till I met Draco's gaze.
He smirked in my direction and then turned his attention back to Pansy, I just went and sat down at a table, these heels were killing me already. I stared at the couples dancing on the floor as they swayed to the music.
I wondered why they had started off with a slow song in the beginning. "Hey" I turned to look at Harry who grinned at me, "Oh have we met?" I asked imitating Ron from earlier.
"You look different, I couldn't recognise you" he explained.
"Whatever" I said.
"Care to dance?" he bowed and extended his hand, I looked at Ginny who gave me a thumbs up so I put my hand in his and he led me to the dance floor.
"I've never danced before" I warned him letting him know that if I stepped on his foot, it was his fault.
"No problem, this is my second time too" he said grinning.
"So..." I trailed off, inviting him to start the conversation.
"So?"
"You and Ginny huh? Since when?" he blushed at this statement.
"My sixth year. And Ginny has had a crush on me since her first year" he said explaining.
"That's nice" I commented.
"Do you mind if I cut in, you know let the lady dance with a real man Potter" Draco came and stood there between us, Harry started to protest but I stopped him and nodded. He shrugged and gave a small smile before going back to his seat.
"Do you mind?" he asked bowing like Harry, I nodded. He was being kind to me, that meant he didn't recognise me at all.
"So I have never seen you before, did you join in late" he asked, I shook my head.
"Then how did I miss a pretty lady like you" he said with a smirk, what a flirt! I smiled, "you got a date don't you?" I asked him.
"I just got her to show people that I have a date, that's it" he said.
The song ended and we bowed to each other. "Care for a walk?" he asked, I nodded my head and we headed out of the hall, heads turned to look at us, all the girls sighing for Draco and the Guys Ogling at me.
"May I know your name?" he asked looking into my eyes. Fck! He's doing that eye thingy again, does he try it on every girl, because it really works.
"Well, that's for me to know, and you to find out" I winked at him and walked further ahead. "Hey that's not fair" he complained.
"Well haven't you heard, life's not fair" I said. "Besides I know you little reputation Mr. Malfoy" I said. "Well, then you must be knowing that I've only dated a single girl till today and regretted that badly" he laughed.
"True" Dang! I had to give in to this one, well one can't always win. "Would you at least tell me your house?" he asked.
"How about a no" I replied again. "I'm surprised you haven't asked if I'm a pureblood or not" I said.
Draco's POV
"How about a no" I replied again. "I'm surprised you haven't asked if I'm a pureblood or not" she said. I was surprised myself, staying with her since the past half an hour, even once I hadn't asked about that.
I had been too busy staring into her eyes and just thinking about who she might be to get that question in mind. Well I didn't care about the blood anyways. I had to learn her name first and I would make Pansy get it for me.
"I don't care" I whispered into her ears stepping closer to her. "You're special" I looked into her chocolate brown eyes again, and moved my face closer to hers.
She just stood there, staring at me and I moved my gaze down to her pink glossed lips just screaming to be kissed.
Our lips met in sweet unity as I savoured the taste of her lips, not knowing when I would meet her next and as much as I expected her to push me away, she didn't and put her arms around my neck and pulled me closer sighing into the kiss.
I placed my hands on her waist and we closed our eyes kissing each other still.
I didn't know for how long we kissed but it ended a bit too soon I felt, she rested her head on my chest.
"You know, I've never felt so strongly for someone whom I've just met" I said looking at her. She gave a small smile.
"Why do you have to be so pretty" I said and leant in for another kiss.
Our lips were about to meet again but God didn't favour us this time, "Draco what the hell !!" Pansy's voice came as she stared at us standing there in the dim light. "Shit" I muttered. "Tough luck" she muttered too and we turned to face her wrath.
