Draco POV
The day of the ball soon arrived, and everyone was excited. Personally, I couldn't care less.
I was changing into my "suit" when someone had knocked on the door.
I picked up my wand and muttered "alohomora". Blaise was standing outside.
"Looking good, mate." he said, smirking.
I rolled my eyes. I was wearing a dark green button up with black pants and shoes. Nothing fancy.
"Come on." urged Blaise.
"Well, why are you in such a hurry? Hot date?" I teased him.
"No, I'm taking PANSY." replied Blaise, rolling HIS eyes.
"That was the best you could find?" I asked, lifting an eyebrow.
"Shut up, and come on." he retorted.
I chuckled.
Hermione had spent the day dressing up with Ginny, so I went to her dorm to see Potter coming as well.
"Potter." I greeted calmly.
"Malfoy." he returned the gesture.
I knocked on the door, and Ginny opened it.
She looked okay. Nothin special, in my opinion, but Potter was gaping at her.
"Uh, hi." he managed to say.
"Hi." she laughed.
"Uhm, I hate to break up this moment, but where's Hermione?" I asked.
"She's coming." said Ginny, blushing. Even Potter looked away.
"I'm ready." called a voice from inside, and Hermione stepped out. As soon as she did, I knew how Potter felt.
She was actually stunning. Her hair had been curled into light waves, and it was just about shining.
Her dress was gorgeous, and fit her figure perfectly. The pink color really brought out her eyes.
"Wow, Hermione. You look really nice." said Harry. I was still staring in shock.
"Thank you." she said, blushing.
"Uh-um yeah. You look nice." I said, loosening my collar a bit.
More like you look incredibly sexy. Shit! Did I really just think that?
"Thank you, Draco." she smiled. "You don't look half bad either."
"Oh, well thanks." I said dryly. She just smirked at me.
"Well, the ball awaits." announced Harry. He held his arm out to Ginny. "Ready?"
She took it, and they walked towards the Great Hall.
"So, ready?" I asked, offering her my arm.
"You bet. Just one thing. If we dance, don't you dare step on my feet." she cautioned.
"I think I should be the one telling you that." I said, smirking.
"You big oaf." she muttered.
I smiled.
We walked down to the Great Hall, that had been transformed into a ballroom. Next to me, Hermione gasped.
"It's beautiful." she whispered.
I couldn't disagree with her. The great hall did look nice.
"Care to dance?" I asked her, holding out my hand.
"Sure." she said, smiling as she took my hand.
"Gee. Thanks for being so formal." I said, scoffing.
She rolled her eyes. "Why, of course, kind sir. I'd be honored." she said, sarcastically.
I chuckled and pulled her to the ballroom floor. We both got into the position of dance that we had been practicing for days, and leaped to a start.
Since I'm not a dammed girl, I don't plan on exaggerating all of the details. We danced. That's all there is to it.
But there was one thing I probably would never admit: I liked it.
As soon as the dance was over, I walked her back to our room, and ran off to see Blaise.
"Hi there." he greeted. "Fun night?"
"For me? It was ok." I said, looking uninterested.
"You looked like you were enjoying yourself." he teased.
"Uh, no. I had to avoid her feet from stepping on mine." I said.
"You're in denial." he sang.
"Shut up! I am not!" I said, glaring at him.
"Denial!" he laughed.
I really hate him at times.
Hermione POV
I walked into the room, after having Draco drop me off before he went to Blaise's room, smiling. I wouldn't deny that it was fun.
"Hi." said a familiar voice.
"Hey Gin." I said, grabbing my wand to do a clothes changing charm.
"Did you have fun?" she asked me, sitting down on the bed.
"Uh, sure. At least he didn't step on my feet." I said, grinning.
"That's nice." she said. Her expression suddenly changed.
"Did you feel his six-pack?" she asked, grinning evilly.
My face flushed. "Ginny! No! I did not! And I wouldn't want to!" I shouted at her. "Hmph. Maybe I should talk to Harry about your obsession with Draco Malfoy's six-pack."
She rolled her eyes. "It's not an obsession, and Harry doesn't mind." She grinned evilly. "He knows I like his more."
My face curled up with disgust. "Ok, I did NOT need to know that." I said. She laughed.
"Alright, I'll leave to let you daydream about Draco." she said, winking.
"I DO NOT DAYDREAM ABOUT HIM!" I screamed. She just chuckled and left.
I think I may need to rethink about my definition on the word, "friend."
