Chapter 55: Dance Lessons
"With the Slytherins!It's official the teachers want us to kill each other off!"I screamed as I looked at the notice board.
"Bloody Hell..look they already picked parteners."Ron looked over at me.I hadn't got that far on the paper..my blow out happened around the first sentence.I looked ofr our names.
"Hermione Granger-Blaise Zabini...Harry Potter-Pansy Parkinson...Ron Weasley-Millicent Bultrode...Katie Lowenstein-..."I covered my face with my hands.
"Draco Malfoy...I feel so bad for you Katie."Harry patted my back.I wasn't so upset about getting paired with Draco...I am used to it,but dancing with him in front of everyone..no way Jose!
"Oh look we have five minutes!"Hermion spoke in a sarcastic tone..ya I was rubbing off on her,
",please come here."I had droned out Professor McGonnigal for the past 15 minutes,but now I was paying attention..a lot of attention.
"Now,put your hand on my waist."Ron looked about to die..I hid my smile behind my hand,while Draco was smirking from across the whispered something to the all laughed.
"Get with your partners." She called and Draco got up,being the proper pureblood gentlemen they bowed and extened their looked taken aback,but I was used to it...
"Good!,,come to the center."I blushed."See how they move as one,but leads."I tried to drown out the continued praising our perfect dancing skills...as had twenty or so dance instructors,thought they mostly praised me,as I made sire Draco paid attention.
'Who are you asking to the ball?'
'You care?'
'No,Draco,I just want to know,I am curious.'
'Well,Katie,to be honest I have no ide who I am going with.'He smirked at me.
'Sure.'
'Really..I have a few girls in mind..But I have not decided yet.'
'Good for you...'I shrugged,not faltering in my steps once.
'Who do you want to ask you?'
'Draco,you are inside my mind..'
'Katie,unless I am talking to you I stay out of your mind..it's a scary place.'I stuck my tongue out at laughed.
'Why are we even here?'I looked up at him.
'No idea.'
'You think we can ditch?'He looked down at me in surprise,'What you think I can't ditch?'
'No,but I think if we just move close to the door,we can slip out.' We put our plan into action. After a few complecated twirls,and a few steps we were well on our way down the hall.
"Race you to the Portrtait Hall!"I sprinted ahead of him.
"A Slytherin and Gryffendor?Laughing together?" The fat Lady looked at us in a knowing way.
We shook our heads then I let him in."Much more homey...I think.'' I shrugged at Gryffendor Common Room was very homey..just not for his house.
I turned on the radio and let the 50's rock wobble through the speakers. Draco got up and pulled me with started dancing.
"Better music..no one staring,or giving each othe death glares...better dancing."Draco listed all the reasons why this was better then staying in the empty classroom.I shrugged at him.
He was right..but he missed one.I was in the arms of the one person I truly cared for..well at least enought that I would help them if they were dying..but then I would be dying too..
"You can be bipolar sometimes."
"No!"
A/N:Short but Draco/Katie...I already know who Draco's going with to the ball,but who do you think he should go with?Reviews are welcome!
