(Two Days before the Ball; Katey's POV)

I was leaning against our tree. Draco's and my tree. I was staring beyond the lake. I was in deep thought.

Ginnie, Bexxi, Mony and I already got our dresses. They all got one dress…but I got like ten. I didn't know which one to wear. They said I should wear a green dress. But then I want my dress to…fly…flow…flutter…around whenever I was spun or when I just danced in general. None of the green dresses did that!

I had a lot of pretty ones…but I could hardly move in them! How fun will it be to dance in a dress you can't even walk in!!!

I groaned as I closed my eyes. I leaned my head back to hit the tree hard.

"Why is it so hard to pick out a fucking dress?!" I yelled asking no one.

"Katey…you okay?" Harry asked sitting down next to me.

"No. Harry I am not okay. I have like…a billion dresses…and I don't know which one to wear!"

Harry chuckled. "It's hard to believe that you are actually talking about dresses."

"I know!" I laughed a little. "I don't even want to go to this ball."

Harry smiled looking at me. "How do you think I feel? I have two left feet."

I smiled and looked at Harry. "I can teach you how to dance."

"Eh." Harry shrugged his shoulders.

"It'll impress Ginnie."

"Eh…"

"It'll…impress…Cho?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

He sighed and looked away. "I dunno who I like now."

"What do you mean?"

"I only asked Ginnie so I would have a date. Cho said no to me since she already had a date."

I smacked Harry's arm. "Harry!"

"What?!" He looked at me rubbing his arm.

"Don't treat Ginnie like that! EVER!" I slapped him across the face and it echoed.

Draco ran over to me and Harry. "Katelyn are you okay?"

Draco raised an eyebrow when he saw a handprint on Harry's cheek and when I had my hand raised with a pissed off look.

Draco bit his lip to keep from laughing. "Potter you just got yourself bitch slapped by your sister."

"Shove off, Malfoy!" Harry yelled rubbing his cheek.

"Harry, don't be mean to my date!"

Harry's eyes widened and he looked at me. "DATE?!"

I smiled sheepishly. "Yeah…"

"What happened to Prince Charming?"

Draco stood in front of a sitting Harry. He held his hand out to shake Harry's. "Hello. My name is Prince Charming." He smirked.

I giggled. "Draco stop it. You're scaring Harry."

Draco plopped down between Harry and me.

"Why him, Katelyn?" Harry asked leaning forward to see my face.

"Isn't it a dream come true?" Draco asked smiling…well…it was like a smiling smirk actually.

"No."

"You two be nice!" I scolded them.

"Katelyn. Malfoy and I are mortal enemies! You and Malfoy should be too!"

"I don't have to."

"You're supposed to hate him!"

I looked away from Harry. "I'm important to you, aren't I Harry?"

"Of course!"

"Don't you love me, Harry?"

"Yes. You're my sister."

"Then shouldn't you be willing to try and get along with Draco?"

Harry was speechless. He didn't know what to say. He kept opening and closing his mouth.

I stood up. "That answers my question." I walked back off to the castle.

Draco stood up and followed after me.

(Girls Dorm; Katey's POV)

"Ginnie…you shouldn't go to the Yule Ball with Harry," I replied sitting down on Ginnie's bed.

"Why not?" Ginnie asked as she flipped through my beauty book.

"Because…you shouldn't. I mean…umm…" I bit my lip. I didn't want to tell her the truth and have her get hurt. "Umm…I heard Skylar's still free. Ask him."

Ginnie looked at me. "You're lying. Tell me."

"Well…I don't want to hurt your feelings."

Ginnie slammed the book shut. "You don't think I'm good enough for him, do you?" Ginnie asked shakily…as if…she was about to…cry.

I stood up quickly. "No, no, no, no, no!" I said very quickly. "That's not it all."

Ginnie sniffled. "Yes it is!"

I shook my head, "No, Ginnie!"

Ginnie ran into the bathroom slamming the door.

"Ginnie!" I yelled knocking on the bathroom door.

"Leave me alone!" Ginnie yelled back at me.

I sighed and sat on my bed.

"What is with all the yelling?" Mony asked as she walked in with Bexxi.

"Katey thinks I'm not good enough for Harry!" Ginnie wailed before she burst into tears.

Mony glared at me. "Why the hell would you say that?!" Mony walked to the bathroom and knocked lightly. "It's me."

Ginnie unlocked the door letting Mony know it was okay for her to go in.

Mony walked in and slammed the door loudly.

Bexxi looked at me. "What really happened?"

I looked around for something to grab. I grabbed a vase by my bed and threw it at the wall screaming.

Bexxi looked at the wall.

"Fuck!" I cursed holding my bleeding hand. A few pieces of glass was in my hand.

Bexxi looked at my hand and her eyes widened. "Katey!" She ran over to me and took my hand lightly. "See…that's why you don't throw things."

I laughed a little on a choked sob. "Yeah…I know why now."

Bexxi helped me up. "Come on." She pulled me downstairs and made me sit on the Slytherin Common Room couch. "Okay. Now…what really happened?"

"Harry told me that he only asked Ginnie out because Cho said no," I replied looking into the fire.

Bexxi pulled out a piece of glass quickly since she was shocked.

"FUCK!" I yelled pulling my hand away from her. "DAMN IT!!!"

"I'm sorry!!!!"

Once again Draco ran over to me.

"Katelyn? Are you okay?!" He saw my hand and he took it gently into his. "What happened?"

"I got mad and threw a vase against the wall," I replied still looking into the fire.

Draco followed my gaze and he smiled. "Katelyn…it's just fire. It isn't that interesting."

I looked at him. "What?"

Draco chuckled lightly. "No more throwing things that could shatter and hurt you."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Draco rolled his eyes. "This is going to hurt like a bitch."

"Yeah…I know." I glared at Bexxi.

Bexxi smiled sheepishly. "Heh, heh."

I rolled my eyes but I was still smiling. "It's okay. I forgive you…somewhat."

"You might want to hang onto something," Draco replied.

I looked around for something to grab on. "Like what?"

"How about my shoulder?" Draco asked taking my uninjured hand and putting it on his shoulder.

"Are you sure?"

He ignored my question and he started pulling a piece of glass out of my hand slowly and carefully.

"Ow!" I grabbed onto his shoulder.

"Yeah…I'm sure." He bit his lip because I was hurting him….or he was trying to concentrate.

"Sorry," I whispered.

He shook his head. "Nah. It's okay."

He pulled out all the pieces of glass and my hand was bleeding a little. He held my hand tightly.

"Ow!" I yelled trying to pull my hand away.

"Stop."

"But you're hurting me."

"Pressure helps to stop the bleeding. Bexxi hold her hand to stop the bleeding."

"Okay," Bexxi said shakily as she grabbed my hand tight to stop the bleeding.

I knew that Bexxi wasn't a big fan of blood. She would get queasy.

"Please don't puke on me," I muttered to her.

"I'll try not to."

Draco ripped the sleeve of his shirt off. "Here." He took my hand away from Bexxi's and he wrapped my hand up in his ripped sleeve. He tied it tight.

I winced a little.

"Sorry."

"It's okay."

He finished wrapping it up and he tied it tight again.

I winced again. "Are you done?"

He nodded. "Yeah." He stroked the side of my face. "Now what made you throw something that's breakable against the wall?"

"Well…Harry told me that he only asked Ginnie to the Yule Ball because Cho said no to him."

Draco chuckled lightly. "Now I know why there was a hand print on the side of his face."

"Yeah. I couldn't believe that Harry said that. And when I told Ginnie she thought that I thought that she wasn't good enough for Harry. And she's way too good for Harry."

Draco wrapped an arm around my shoulder and pulled me into his lap. "You're right. Nguyen is too good for Potter."

"Call her by her first name, Draco." I put my head in his chest.

He sighed but I knew he was smiling. "Virginie is way too good for Potter."

I looked up at him.

"I'm not saying his first name."

I smiled and giggled. I rested my head in his chest again. "I had a feeling you wouldn't."

He took my injured hand in his and he brought that hand to his lips. He laid gentle pecks on my injured hand.

I bit my lip and blushed.

"Awww," Bexxi cooed clapping her hands together smiling.

I turned my head to look at her. "Bexxi…"

"Sorry." She stood up. "I'll just go…" She walked out of the common room.

I snuggled my head into Draco's chest. "I'm glad that you told me you were Prince Charming."

He wrapped his arms around me and held me close to him. "Me too."

I could hear his heart beating and for some odd reason…I found that sound soothing and I passed out in his lap.

AN: Sorry that this wasn't the Yule Ball but I wanted to put this in. Please review!
