Chapter 11

Spin around like a crazy elf

AN I own nothing. Thanks for reviewing!

peacefeet girl18: I have plan for Ginny and it will be nice! Blaise and Luna will be back soon!

Blaise Pov

Draco had forced me in to my dress robes and made me look presentable. He dragged me down to the Great Hall for the Halloween Ball. It was a big waste of time. Balls are for couples and people in love. I am neither. The girl I love doesn't love me back.

I was slumped down in seat glaring at anyone that dared to look at me.

Daphne strutted towards me. I think she was attempting to give me a sultry look but it was more of a look of person suffering from severe haemorrhoids. My stomach started to roll at the thought of me having to speak to her and suffer her unwanted touches.

'Blaise Darling, what are you doing sitting over here all alone?'

'I am fine Daphne, Draco is with me he is just off getting a drink he will be right back.'

'Oh, I will sit down and join you then'

'No! You won't. Leave me alone.'

'Now Blaise is that anyway to talk to you future wife. The next Mrs. Zabini?'

'Fuck off. You will never be Mrs. Zabini! Do you want to know why? I hate you! You ruined everything for me! I am meant to be with Luna and NOT some deranged psycho bitch like you! Now I will tell you for the last time LEAVE ME ALONE!'

I could see that Daphne had begun to tremble. I knew I had been harsh but it needed to be said. She kept pushing me.

'You better apologise to me to me right now Blaise Zabini!'

I just sat there silent while glaring at her.

She quickly got the point and scurried off.

Finally I get to be alone.

I scanned the room to see who had all came to the ball and who with. Then I saw her. She was just walking through the doors. She looked amazing. She looked radiant. The green dress she wore made her creamy skin glow. She is perfect. I miss her so much.

Then I noticed what was attached to her.

How could she come with him? He is beneath her! She is a thousand times better than him.

My hands clutched the table in front of me. He is touching her. She dressed up for him.

Breath Blaise calm down. Why is my body shaking? What is wrong with me?

Luna Pov

I spent most of the day with Roger hanging out at the Quidditch pitch. We talked, laughed and he took me for a fly around on his broom.

He has been forcing me to ride with him. He says everyone should enjoy flying.

I don't mind flying but I prefer to fly with a thestral than fly on a broom. Flying with Dave is truly magical. I tried to explain this to Roger but he refuses to fly on Dave. He says he would have no control.

Harry, Ron and Hermione came down to the pitch and joined us in our chat. We were all bundled up against the cold. There is supposed to be snow coming this week.

I have not spoken to Ginny Weasley since that horrible day when I heard her talking about me. She now spends all her time with Anna and her friends. I haven't even seen Harry, Ron, Hermione or the twins speak to her.

It was beginning to get dark near six and Hermione said it was time for us to go and get ready.

We hurried up to the castle because we were running slightly late. We had forgotten the time when we were down at the pitch.

We went up to Hermione's dorm because I had been keeping all my stuff for the ball there since I didn't trust Anna not to ruin it. She has really had it out for me since that Blaise incident over a month ago. Hermione and I had picked out my dress a few weeks ago when we were on a Hogsmeade visit. I picked a floor length emerald green dress. It has long tight sleeves down to the wrist but it is completely backless. I thought it was a bit too much usually I don't show that much skin but Hermione talked me in to it. She said it was made for me and that it fit like a glove.

Hermione and I quickly got showered then I used lots of Sleekeazy's Hair Potion on Hermione's hair to tame it in to soft curls. She then pinned my hair up in to a messy bun.

We quickly did our makeup and slipped in to our dresses.

Hermione looked marvelous in floor length purple dress. Harry was going to go nuts when he saw her. Harry had finally admitted that he really liked Hermione and asked her to the ball. Hermione had felt the same and of course she said yes. She has been doing my head in since, worrying about whether or not this was the right thing to do, If it would ruin her friendship with HHHHHarry. I have told her to go for it because she will always wonder what if, if she didn't do it. Plus their friendship is strong enough to withstand it if it doesn't go well.

Ron is going with Lavender. They really do make a nice couple. If only she would stop calling him Won-Won. That is just too weird.

Hermione and I were finally ready to go down and meet our dates for this evening. Hermione walked ahead me down the girl's stairs to the Gryffindor common room. I started to get really nervous this was only my second date. Granted it was with a good friend but it was my first time to go to a ball with a date! Of course I was going to be nervous. What happens if he doesn't like my dress or if he stands on when we are dancing and it gets ripped! Oh my Merlin everyone would see. I don't think I can do this. What was I thinking?

I froze at the top of the stairs.

Hermione had continued on down. I could hear them asking where I was. Calm down keep breathing.

'Luna hurry up and get down here right now!' yelled Hermione.

It will be fine. I know he won't rip my dress and of course he will like it. It was made for me just like Hermione said. I continued walking down the steps. Hermione and Harry came in to view. She had already linked arms with him and had a huge grin on her face. Their expressions matched how cute. I knew they were perfect for each other.

I saw Lavender and Ron next. They looked relaxed and happy. Then I saw him. Fred standing waiting for me. I smiled at him and finished walking down the last few steps. He stepped forward and handed me my corsage. Fred helped me put it on my wrist. I smiled up at him and thanked him for the lovely corsage.

'That's alright Luna, you look amazing in your dress. Georgie boy will definitely be jealous. I got the hotter girl and we can have a good conversation!'

I could not help but laugh at that statement.

'Ready to go down to the Great Hall?'

We all began to walk down to the Great Hall. I saw lots of people hanging around the entrance waiting for their dates. I was glad I had met Fred in the Gryffindor common room rather than down here.

We walked through the doors. Daphne Greengrass ran past us, I wonder what happened there. I started to scan the crowd to see who came with who and what not. My gaze landed on him. He was sitting alone. He was dressed so nicely. Why did he look so angry? What had happened?
