Skies of Gray
A/N: Another day another chapter. And my faithful readers the ball is not yet over. I still have to put Draco and Ginny in because i said i would. So be happy. And reveiw^_^
Five minutes after Lupin and Ara the whole thing was practically forgotten as people once again began to dance. Draco sat and brooded silently. He was glad that his cousin had enjoyed herself, but was worried that it would shatter what was left of her reputation. He doubted that anyone would actually say anything to her face about the rumors because of the much more frightening rumors of her viscious temper. What they didn't know was that though she could be savage if someone was hurting a friend or family member, she rarely got angry on her own account. The Elementals took care of that problem easily.
Draco still couldn't beleive that the Elementals had accepted him as one of their own. In fact he hadn't beleived Ara when she first said that they would probably like him. At the time she had been visiting from America. Her brown hair had a healthy gleam to it and her cool blue eyes were sharp and alert. Now her long hair didn't shine, and her blue eyes were expressionless. He knew the change had to do with her sister and father's deaths and the curse layed upon her by a cruel wizard unknown to any of the Elementals. When his Uncle David had died, draco himself hadn't really been indifferent. The man had shown him a kindness that his own father never had.
draco looked up as a shadow fell across him. He jumped. There standing in front of him was Ginny Weasley, and she was holding out her hand, brown eyes pleading.
"Dance with me." she said softly. "Please."
He knew he was going to regret it later but he took her hand and led her onto the floor. He was aware that his cousin was watching them with hawk eyes. He looked up once and caught her gaze, but she just raised an eyebrow. He swore softly, recognizing her challenge.
"Draco?" Ginny asked quietly.
He growled and jerked her toward him. "damn you, Weasley." He said just before claiming her lips. He felt a brief flash of shock when she responded, then lost himself in her sweet embrace.
Ara hooted, and Deacon spun around to gaze in shock at the embracing couple, then swore. He darted across the room and caught her just before her legs gave out.
"they couldn't have timed it better." she whispered as pain racked her body. "Now get me out of here."
As Deacon swept out carrying Ara, Ron was pushing through the crowd, red faced and royally pissed. Vegas, who just happened to be passing him, accidently tripped him.
"Oops! Sorry, dude." She laughed. "you really ought to watch where you're going. You could get hurt."
In the middle of the dance floor, Draco and Ginny broke apart and stared at each other, suddenly aware of the silence.
"Bravo! Encore!" Wayne shouted clapping. The remaining Elementals also cheered and clapped, drawing the attention away from the Slytherin and Gryffindor.
Ron's angry shouts went unheard by anyone except Harry and Hermoine who were pulling him to his feet. Everyone else was laughing at the comical display the Elementals put on. Draco spun on his heel and stalked out scowling, leaving Ginny staring after him.
"He'll be fine." Snape said gruffly. "He just has to sort himself out." He turned and walked away.
"this has been the strangest day I have ever had." Ginny's eyes were wide. "Snape just said something without taking away points."
"Ginny!" Harry ran up, glasses askew. "Are you all right?"
"I think I'm in shock." she whispered before fainting dead away. (A/N not a typical Ginny move, but we're talking about Draco Malfoy here)
Harry, after a moment of shock, picked her up and made his way toward the door.
"I knew Malfoy was poisonous!" Ron yelled, he and Hermoine joining them.
"Oh, Ron." Hermoine sighed. "Do grow up."
A/N: This is the last chapter having to do with the ball. (thank God!) and i would like to thank Funky Funky Chiken for reveiwing again. It's nice to know that someone is still reading. (Glares pointedly at Draco's Girl who only reveiwed once.) Enough about that. soon Empress Celeste (Ruler of The 7th Galaxy) will join up with TwIsTed_ScRiBe (Queen of Humor) to form Purple.Grass.Goddesses. Our stories will be a mix of humor, sarcasm, wit, and cunning. Our first story will be a journey to the Maurader's time. He he. What could possibly happen that would make us want to post that? *Empress Celeste gives TwIsTeD_ScRiBe "The Look"* Just about any thing. ^_^ stay tuned
