Thank you so much for the reviews! I'm glad to know people are reading
this. Here's the next chapter. Enjoy!
"No Professor Snape." He said.
"Good. On your way then."
The group of Slytherins quickly walked away. Snape walked over to Annie and helped her up.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"Yes. Thank you." Annie said.
"Well we wouldn't want you to get killed before you defeat the dark lord."
With that he walked away. Annie walked into the library and spotted Malfoy. He smiled as she walked over and sat down across from him.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
She still looked a little shaken.
"Yeah, I'm fine. The strangest thing just happened to me."
"What was that?"
"I accidentally tripped and dropped my books. I bent down to pick them up just as a group of Slytherins was walking my way. One of them tripped over me, and just my luck it was the tallest and strongest one. He stood over me and demanded an apology. Luckily, Professor Snape was walking by and made them go away."
"Oh it was probably Mark Flint (A/N: This is Marcus Flint's younger brother. I know he doesn't have one, but let's just pretend he does.). He's captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team. He's not all that bad."
"You're just saying that because he's in your house."
"No. We get along just fine."
"Oh."
They talked for hours and helped each other with their homework. They couldn't believe that they were getting along so well since they came from houses that hated each other. They met again every school night for two months.
When Halloween came Dumbledore thought it would be fun to have a costume ball. Maggie took that as an opportunity to give Annie a makeover.
"What do you want to go as?" Maggie asked.
"I don't want to go." Annie said.
"Yes you do! You're boyfriend will be there."
"So? He knows that I don't want to go."
"Then he'll be shocked when you come in looking stunning."
"Ok! I give up! Do with me what you will!"
"YAY!"
Annie was already cute enough. She had a cute face and straight blond hair, but it was always tied back. Maggie put it down and made it nice and shiny. She applied some makeup to Annie. Her costume was a beautiful pink princess dress that hugged her small curves and poofed out once it got passed her hips.
At the ball, everyone dressed up in costumes and masks. The great hall was decorated and there were many tables that ten people could sit at scattered all over the hall. Each table had food, treats, and drinks.
There was dancing and mingling. Everyone was having a good time. Harry, Ron, Hermion, Maggie, Annie, Fred, George, and their dates were all sitting at the same table. When a slow song, Fred, Fred's date, George, George's date, Harry, and Hermione left to go dance.
"Hey Maggie, would you like to dance?" Ron asked.
"Yeah. Annie are you going to be ok by yourself?" Maggie asked.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Annie answered.
Ron and Maggie ran off and disappeared into the crowd of dancing people. Annie sat there alone and looked around. Draco was nowhere in sight. She was just getting up to leave when she heard someone call her name.
"Annie."
She turned around to see Draco in a muggle tuxedo. They smiled at each other.
"Draco."
"You look beautiful. I mean, more than usual."
"Thank you. You look even more dashing than your usual self."
"Thank you. Do you want to dance?"
"I'd love to."
They made their way to the dance floor. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck. They swayed back and forth dancing.
"So what are you supposed to be?" She asked.
"Bond. James Bond." He answered.
"Where did you come up with that?"
"Crabbe and Goyle thought of it. I take it you're a princess?"
"Yes."
"I thought we were supposed to dress up for Halloween."
She laughed.
"What? I'm serious." He said.
"You're so different than everyone says."
"Don't tell anyone. I have a reputation you know."
"I know. I've heard all about it."
The song ended and a fast song came on. They danced through the night. Then it was time for the last song. They held each other closely, and Annie didn't think the moment could get any better. It did.
"Annie." Draco said.
"Yes?"
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"I think we both know the answer to that."
"Would you like to have one?"
Annie's heart began to race even faster.
"That depends. Who would it be?"
"I think we both know the answer to that."
He pressed his lips against hers. The feeling in the pit of her stomach grew about ten times. She didn't want that moment to end, but, like all moments, it ended.
That night in the dorm Maggie kept bombarding Annie with questions.
"So what happened to you? We came back to the table and you were gone." Maggie said.
"Draco found me after you left, and we danced."
"For how long? I didn't see you the rest of the night."
"Yeah, we danced the rest of the night."
"Go Annie! So anything else happen that I should know about?"
"Yeah. I have a boyfriend."
"YAY! It's about friggin' time! I know you're all happy and everything, but remember-"
"Don't tell him our secret. I know!"
"Just double checking. Come on, let's get some sleep."
The next morning Annie and Maggie got an letter.
Dear Annie and Maggie,
We can't meet tonight, because dark forces are moving in on us. We're going to be traveling around to escape them, and this won't allow any time to communicate. We'll send owls to you to stay in contact, but don't try to send any to us. If there is anything we must know ask Dumbledore to tell us.
Love, Aunt Chloe and Aunt Zoe
"Well at least we don't have to get up at one in the morning again tonight." Maggie said.
"Yeah. I just hope everyone's alright." Annie said.
"Of course they are! They would have said something if they weren't."
"I guess."
So what did you think? Please review!
