Draco pushed past several people and finally caught a glimpse of her. Some sixth year girls were around her, commenting on her dress. He felt his jaw drop at the sight of her hair. It came just below the ears and waved evenly away from her face. Kind of fanning out. He physically had to force his mouth shut.
Stepping up behind her, he growled playfully, " Having fun?"
She gasped, jumping at the sound of his voice. Quickly Ginny turned beaming a smile at him. " What do you think? Of course." She leaned into him.
" Did anyone ever tell you how gorgeous you look in silver and green?"
" Did anyone ever tell you, you were born to wear red?" He laughed and hugged her tightly.
" Come my lady, let us dance the bloody night away." He took her hand and lead her to the dance floor. Which got the attention of most of Slytherin. And Gryffindor.
Ron and Hermione danced up next to them and Granger informed him that everyone was starring. " Hmm, who knew we'd be that much of a spectacle." Ginny giggled and leaned over to whisper something to Herm.
This elicited more giggles from the both of them.
" Somehow I feel as if we are being left out of something." Ron murmured stepping away from the girls.
" Yes I believe you are right." Draco took a step back too, calling out to Ginny as he went after her brother.
" We're gonna go get you ladies something to drink. Be right back."
Ron picked up four cups and begun pouring the greenish liquid into each one.
" If Snape finds out we were the ones to take that veritaserum sample from his personal stash we'll be dead you know." Draco nodded in understanding.
" My sister must see something in you that's really well hidden. She's pretty good with telling about people. With the exception of her first year. So just to let you know, about that apology, well, I accept it." Draco took two of the cups and bowed his head. He felt a bit of pride for a moment. "Of course if you ever hurt her, or Hermione, I'll have to revoke that and then I'll have to hurt you. A lot."
They laughed together, but Draco knew that Ron was serious. Dead serious.

" Ginny, that dress! And your hair! What will your mother say?" Ginny smiled.
" I already owled her about it. She said it was fine. And it was the deal. The dress I mean. Draco looks great in silk doesn't he?" Hermione giggled heartily.
" I would love to see Ron in silk..." Ginny acknowledged that with a startled "Ewwwww!"

The End of the Year Ball went down without a hitch, well, except for when Neville slipped on some spilt punch and smashed into Seamus, who flipped over the food table and ended up with whipped cream and chocolate all over.
Other than that, not much happened.
Oh, but Pansy got a frog stuck in her dress and screamed bloody murder for about five minutes. Not to mention that Harry and his date, a Ravenclaw named Lisa Turpin, disappeared around ten and weren't seen again until morning.
But these kind of things are expected from a Ball.
