Please Review! This chapter's song is Katy Perry's 'thinking of you'


"You look...stunning!" Ben complimented, looking me up and down.

I had to admit he looked great too. His hair was combed back, and he was wearing a classy crisp suit.

"You too," I said.

I took his arm and we walked down the steps. I scanned the hall for Lily, who had her arms contentedly round Christian's neck. He was looking into her eyes just as happily. They had that mad-about-eachother look. This made me feel strangely sad. I'd never have that, would I? Scorpius and I would never be on such good terms. Ben and I could possibly be like that... but I didn't have enough attraction to him.

But my mind was soon off the matter when Muggles Gone Wild began to play. I loved that band.

"I love Muggles gone wild!" Ben announced, getting me and him a glass of firewhisky.

"Really?" I said. "So do I!"

"Come on, let's dance to this!" He put our glasses down on a nearby table.

He put his hands on my waist, and I rested my arms on his firm shoulders. I loved this song.

I couldn't really dance, I just let Ben lead me to the slower songs and to the fast R&B or rap songs I just copied what the other girls were doing. We had been dancing for ages by now, and I was starting to feel a little dizzy from spinning so much.

I tripped in my heels. And bumped straight into...I raised my eyes..oh no. Scorpius (who was dancing with Myleene. Ugh) I knocked both me and him over with the force of my fall. (making me even more embaressed, my dress was short, so falling over lifted it a little)

Ouch. My ankles hurt.

"Are you alright Rose?" Ben asked in a concerned tone.

I struggled and got up with the help of Ben's arm. Scorpius had managed to get up within a milisecond of losing balance. We exchanged glances - ok, not glances, scowls and looked at eachother's partners. Myleene was avoiding all eye contact, as she had done since the arguement, pretending I wasn't there. Her blonde hair was curled and she was wearing a red strappy dress.

"I'm sorry," I stammered to Malfoy.

He just stopped and stared and didn't say anything, which I found very awkward, and Ben thought it rude. He obviously didn't know Malfoy well enough to know this was standard behaviour for him.

We separated and I walked off with Ben and Scorpius with Myleene. I couldn't help turning back just to look. Much to my frustration, I realized Scorpius and Myleene looked visually great together. He was the right amount taller than her. They were both blonde. But in terms of facial expression? There was nothing there, no 'whoa, you're the one for me' look, which made me feel better. Or you know what? I could just be making it all up. I didn't know.

I don't need him.

I gripped Ben harder in a sort of hug and leaned my head on his shoulder as the lights dimmed and another slow song came on (it was one for couples *sigh*)

Ben moved a strand of my hair out of my eyes. It was really dark, so I could only reall see the luminance of the white marble floor and his his face.

He pulled my face towards his and kissed my lips gently. Then harder. He was a really, really good kisser.

I soon realized that actually all the couples were kissing. Including... Scorpius and Myleene.
