Chapter 1~ The Ball
***
Ginny appeared in the Great Hall on Halloween night. Heads turned as she walked by confidently. She wore an elegant costume she represented Fire. Her strapless long dress was bordered with gold and the ends were cut raggedly. Her mask covered just her eyes, but her hair had been changed to black, which perfectly matched her outfit.
Next walked in a mysterious man wearing a red tux. His hair, now red. He wasn't accompanied by anyone but was looking as if he were Ginny's partner. He also represented fire, or atleast that's what he said. This man looked at Ginny and examined her every movement.
'Welcome students.' Dumbledore said happily, 'We are trying this idea for the first time at Hogwarts, make sure it isn't the last.' He said warningly.
'Pick your number up here.' Snape yelled coldly.
Students slowly lined up by the table and picked up their numbers. Each one hoping they'd get the guy (or girl) of their choice.
'Umm.' Ginny mumbled fingering the numbered papers, 'This one.'
She picked up the piece of paper and read the number 21. "Great, 21. Now who ever could be my partner?" she looked around and held up her paper, the mysterious man walked towards her coolly.
'Number 21?' he asked in a low voice.
'Yyyeeesss?'
'Let's dance.' He said and pulled her onto the dance floor.
The music started. It was a fast pace Spanish song. "Oops forgot the theme was Spanish." Ginny thought. "Hope this guy knows how to dance."
Quickly the man wrapped his arm around Ginny's waist and pulled her close, so close Ginny could feel him breathing. He took her hand in his and gripped it tightly. They danced around and were soon being watched by the whole school.
He twirled her around and dipped her, not once did they step on each other's feet (A/N: had to add the feet part. Lol). People cheered them on as they danced around. But Ginny and this man didn't notice them at all, their eyes locked, their pulses raced, they were in the mood. As they danced on not one word was spoken they were thoroughly enjoying this night.
'You're a great dancer.' Ginny said.
'Only because I have a great partner.' He replied winking at her from behind his mask.
'Who are you?'
'You'll find out soon enough, my dear.' He said.
'How about we meet after the dance? Say twoish near the lake.' Ginny said wildly pondering the ideas of who he could be.
'I await our next meeting.' He answered.
**Ginny's POV**
Who is this guy? He's really cute and a GREAT dancer. I wish this night never to end... never.
**End of POV**
'Now.' Dumbledore said stopping the music for a moment, 'Now, the dance competition will begin. The best dancers to this song will win the prize.'
Then with a wave of his wand Dumbledore started the music. The Tango. The Man pulled Ginny closer to him so that their noses almost touched. He held her tightly. At the end they finished off their magnificent performance with a dip.
'Wonderful! Now to announce the winners.' Dumbledore said and he whispered something to the teachers, 'Number 21!'
The two dancers hurriedly walked towards Dumbledore, Ginny still gasping for breath after the exhausting dance.
'First, to find who these lovely dancers are.' Dumbledore said and motioned for everyone to remove their masks.
Ginny did so and turned towards everyone who applauded her. Then the man removed his and there was silence... Draco Malfoy. Ginny and Draco stared at each other in disbelief. Then their stares were disrupted...
'Will you two please come forward for your prize.' Dumbledore asked politely.
'Uh, yeah sure.' Ginny said meekly. Dumbledore handed each one of them a gold trophy.
'Congratulations.' He said then turned towards everyone else, 'You may now join your partners once again for the rest of the night.'
Slowly Ginny walked to the dance floor and was about to dance alone when she was joined by Draco. He grabbed her and danced with her.

A/N: did you like it? Please Review! I need a couple comments from people before I can write the next chapter.
Oh yeah something to think about, Will Draco and Ginny meet at the lake that night? Why did Draco come and join Ginny for another round of dancing? Will they fall in love?
