Months had past, and Umbridge had prepared a Christmas dance, that would be held two weeks before Christmas. Harry went with Luna (as friends) Ron was going with Hermione (as friends), and of course Danielle and Draco were going together.

Luna wore a white dress, the top was looked a little bit like a silver crescent moon, and the bottom was decorated yellow stars and white sparkles, Harry and Ron wore black suits with different colored ties Ron's was red, Harry's was green. Hermione wore a green strapless dress; the top was silk that resembled waves of the ocean the bottom resembled a lot like a mermaids tail.

They all stood at the bottom of the stairs with Malfoy, they had all started to get used to call Malfoy by his first name Draco, because Danielle wanted all of them to try and get along.

"Hello Draco. Where's Danielle?" Luna asked sweetly as she walked up to Draco with Harry next to her.

"I have no idea she said she'd meet me at the bottom of the stairs at seven thirty!" Draco said complaining to his acquaintances as they came up behind Luna but they weren't even listening to him because they were all looking at something at the top of the stairs.

"What are you all looking at?" Draco asked.

"Blimey!" Ron said in shock and amazement as he looked up.

"Your girlfriend." Harry added turning Draco around to look at the top of the stairs. Draco looked at what everyone else was looking at, when he looked at the top of the stairs it was Danielle she was wearing an aqua blue dress that matched her eyes it was beautiful, the top part of her dress was blue silk which went well with the bottom that looked just like blue flames (like her ghost ability to control fire) and her necklace was black with a celestial blue flame shaped gem around her neck. Draco walked up the stairs as Danielle walked down.

They both stopped on the middle of the staircase.

"Wow. You look beautiful."

"You don't look too bad yourself." Draco and Danielle giggled and smiled while they walked down the stairs together. When they reached the bottom everyone was whispering to each other, about how beautiful Danielle looked in that dress. It wasn't long before Fred and George joined them. They whistled at Danielle's dress, in a friendly and shocked way at the same time.

It had been 3 hours since the dance started, everyone was dancing, especially the couples that were actually a couple, meaning Danielle and Draco, it wasn't too long into the slow song they were dancing too when someone busted through the stained glass window. Draco shielded Danielle from the shattered falling glass. Everyone was screaming and running to get out of the hall.

"DRACO!" Said a mean angry voice.

"Oh no." Draco whispered to himself looking at the figure that stood on the windowsill of the now broken stained glass window. Danielle got up and stood next to Draco.

"Draco who's that?" Draco looked at Danielle; he could see in her eyes that she was scared, not for herself, but for him.

"My umm…father." Danielle looked at him in shock.

"You have got to be kidding me?" Danielle said as she looked at Draco and then his father.

"You are not carrying out the Malfoy Hogwarts tradition!"

"Tradition?" Danielle questioned.

"What? Being awful to everyone, mostly the Mudblood's!" Once everyone heard this they were all surprised that a Malfoy family member was sticking up for the Mudblood's. Danielle was the most surprised out of all of them.

"What is wrong with you? You're defending the Mudblood's?" Asked Draco's father furiously, he looked around and saw Danielle clutching onto Draco's arm.

"It's that girl She's changed you! She's also a Mudblood!" Draco looked at Danielle and then his father.

"Yeah! So what if she's changed me. It's a good thing, I've gotten more friends than I've ever had, ones I can count on! And I don't care if she's a Mudblood, all I know is that, I'm… I'm in love with her." Danielle looked into Draco's eyes and saw the love in them, she smiled at him, and he smiled back.

Draco's father growled at his son, he pointed his wand at Danielle. "ADVADA KEDAVRA!" Shouted Draco's father.

"NOOOOOO!" Draco, Harry, Fred, George, Hermione, and Ron screamed out.

Draco was too late, Danielle had gotten thrown back and hit the wall hard and landing on the ground with a loud thump, she had been hit with by an unforgivable curse; the killing curse.

"Lucius!" Fred and George shouted out in anger and sadness, as they ran up to their best friend who was now lying lifelessly on the floor.

"You will pay!" Said Fred grabbing out his wand and pointing it at Lucius with tears coming out of his eyes, George stopped him.

"It wont bring Danielle back, she wouldn't want us to kill, we will avenge her by not doing what she hates most." Said George bringing Fred back to the ground, whom were both crying over the loss of their best friend.

Draco looked back at the Weasley twins mourning over their best friend also his girlfriend. Draco was mad, his eye's turned from the caring, loving person he had become to that evil, blood thirsty enemy.

"You monster. You will pay!"

"Yes. Yes my son this is what the dark lord want's." Draco started to cast spells aiming them for his father, he knew Danielle would never want him to kill anyone so he just casted spells that would paralyze or seriously injure his father, he would do anything until he saw his father hurt, his father would pay for what he had done to him, his friends, and most of all Danielle.

As Draco was fighting his father, Harry got up from his place that his friends were surrounding Danielle and pointed his wand. Luna got up calmly, and placed her hand over Harry's, causing him to lower his wand.

"It's not your battle. It's Draco's. He's more hurt than anyone else here." Harry nodded as Luna gave him a calm smile.

Everyone looked at Danielle with sadness, they didn't notice that something was being carved into her forehead, it was in the shape of flames but nobody noticed since her raven black bangs were covering her forehead. They heard something murmur in Danielle's direction. They all looked up and saw Danielle move. They all looked at Danielle in shock as she began to open her eyes slowly.

"What happened?" Everyone looked at Danielle as she asked the question.

"Of course!" Harry blurted out everyone looked at Harry. Harry covered his mouth in shock, in what he just said.

"Never mind." Everyone looked back at Danielle, Harry then thought to himself, 'Danielle's half-ghost, she can't die, because she's half-dead not even one of the most powerful curses of all time could kill her!'

Danielle got up.

"What's everyone looking at? All I remember is someone casting a spell at me." Said Danielle while grabbing her head.

"Danielle that was no ordinary spell." Luna answered calmly.

"That was a bloody killing curse!" Ron added.

"And now Draco's trying to get serious payback to his father for using that curse on you." Harry added.

"What!?" Danielle shouted, this got her attention she got up, but was badly hurt; she walked towards the battle scene, Fred and George walked up to her supporting her balance.

"DRACO! DRACO! DRACOOOOO!" She shouted out to her boyfriend. Draco looked down and saw Danielle alive and well, with Fred and George beside her 'Is it a dream?' he thought to himself, his eyes turned to that loving, caring, person again.

"What? NO! It's not possible!" Shouted out Lucius in anger as he came down and walked up to Danielle in anger.

"Well Lucius you should probably do your research, I'm a half-ghost, so that makes me half-dead, so I can't die." Explained Danielle in a sarcastic, amusing, angry tone as Lucius walked up to Danielle in anger. And at that she knocked out Draco's father with a 360 degree spin kick to the head, despite her injuries being half ghost helped her heal faster. Draco ran up to Danielle and gave her a massive hug.

"Your alive. It's really you. It's not my imagination." Draco pulled away from the hug, and touched Danielle's cheek, and he leaned in to kiss her, to make sure it was real.

When Draco let go, Danielle let out a big cry of pain.

"Danielle what's wrong?" Draco asked nervously as Danielle fainted in his arms, the Weasley's, Harry, and Hermione ran up to them.

"Draco she's alright, she's just injured, and she did hit the ground really hard." Explained Hermione.

"We'll take her to the hospital." Luna said putting a hand on Draco's arm. Draco nodded in agreement, as he nodded Hargid came into the room, he saw the mess and saw little Danielle on the ground in Draco's arms, he ran to the teens surrounding her.

"What happened?" The friends turned around and saw Hagird.

"Just seriously injured Hagrid were taking her to the hospital." Harry said.

"You want me to take her." Hagrid asked.

"No." Draco answered emotionally.

"You can't." Luna said.

"And why not?" Draco asked furiously.

"Look mate, your all worn out from the battle with your dad." Said Fred pointing at Lucius.

"And if you take her to the infirmary you might faint, drop her, and her injuries could get more serious." George added while putting a hand on his shoulder. Draco nodded in agreement.

Hagrid picked up the tiny girl carefully, just incase she had broken any bones that could paralyze her. The twins helped Draco out of the hall. As everyone got out, everyone who saw the whole thing clapped, and cheered for Draco.

"Why are they all cheering?" Draco asked.

"Because you our friend…"

"Had stuck up for all the Mudblood's and half-bloods in the school." George finished off for Fred. Draco smiled.

"I did it for her." and went into the world of unconsciousness.
