A couple days later, Marie was very excited about the dance on Saturday. Marie, who had muggle friends had taken her to a muggle dance before, except that wasn't like a wizardry dance. Marie told Dumbledore about kareoke and he decided it would be fun to try for the students. She also went to Snape's house, using Floo Powder, to grab all her muggle music. The day before the first dance Marie had told Draco, Harry, Ron, and Hermione that she needed to help Dumbledore with the dance, so she wouldn't be able to help with the "treasure hunt". Of course Draco decided he'd just go help Goyle, Crabbe, and Pansy, while Hermione, Ron, and Harry finished for themselves. Marie was very excited that Saturday, the day of the first dance, Dumbledore said she could be in charge, which she was looking forward to. Plus, seeing everyone trying to sing songs. It would be great. Hopefully her friends would love it as well. Dumbledore announced that this would be a couple dance Friday morning. Draco had asked Marie and of course she said yes, considering that she was his girlfriend. She said no at first to get him confused them messed up by laughing. Hermione on the other hand was having trouble. She couldn't decide on who to go with. She wanted to go with Harry or Ron, and that was a fact. 'Well at least we don't have classes. Maybe Marie can help me with my Ron/Harry situation.' Hermione was trying to sort her thoughts. She got up and went looking for Marie, or at least Draco, but only because he would know where she was. After about 10 minutes of looking she found Draco and Marie in the dungeon, snogging of course. Hermione cleared her throat loudly. Marie instantly pulled back.

Marie- Mione! I'm sorry... I didn't know you were there.

Marie looked quite embarrassed, where as Draco looked disappointed. 'I could still be in my wonderful snog session if it wasn't for that Mudblood..' Draco didn't dare say the words though. He had promised he wouldn't do anything like that to Hermione or Ron and Harry while he was with Marie near them.

Hermione- Marie can you help me for a minute or so? I'm sorry for pulling you away from Draco, but I really need help, uh, picking something to wear to the dance tonight.

Hermione lied, but she really needed some help.

Marie- Of course Mione, anytime. Draco I'll be back ok?

Marie gave Draco a puppy look that couldn't resist. He sighed.

Draco- Oh alright. You know where to find me.

Draco walked away. Marie and Hermione went into the Potions classroom and sat down. After checking to make sure her father wasn't there, Marie broke the silence that had started after Draco left.

Marie- Ok, Hermione, Ron or Harry right?

She was talking as if Hermione wasn't lying in the halls.

Hermione- How did you...

Hermione tried to ask how she did that but Marie interrupted.

Marie- My father taught me.

Marie smiled.

Marie- So, Harry or Ron... tough choice. Who do you like better? Meaning their personality. I know it's hard to pick one of your friends when you like the other just as much.

Hermione- You can say that again. Anyway, Ron has said, or hinted a lot I should say, that he liked me. But Harry I sort of always like more then a friend, where as with Ron I just like him as a friend.

Hermione blushed a little.

Marie- Well there's you answer. Take Harry. You like him more then a friend. Ron will understand. Plus I know someone who will go with him.

Hermione- Really? Who-

Marie interrupted Hermione.

Marie- Don't worry, I got it covered.

Marie stood up. Hermione got up and gave Marie a hug.

Hermione- Thanks. You're a true friend. Can I ask one more thing?

She had a hopeful look on her face.

Marie- Something you think, or know he will like.

Marie smiled.

Hermione- Thanks again. Bye, I'll see you later I'm going to go ask him now, before it's to late.

With that Hermione left.

Marie- Now all I got to do is find out who else Ron likes...

Marie walked out of the room. Ron was in The Great Hall with Harry at the time. They were talking about Qudditch, of course.

Ron- I can't believe I'm Keeper. This is bloody wicked.

Harry- You were really good. I had to let you on.

Ron- I'm glad you still Seeker, no one else could do it.

Harry- Thanks Ron. Hey look, Marie over here!

Harry shouted to Marie who just entered the room.

Marie- There you are Ron. Hey Harry. How you doin' ?

Marie gasped for breath because she ran over to them.

Harry- Great, you?

Ron- Why where you looking for me?

Marie- Gotta talk to ya for a sec. Do you mind Harry?

Marie gave Harry a sorry look.

Harry- Oh no problem.

Marie- Great, oh Hermione's looking for you anyway Harry.

Marie was talking in her normal voice now that she can breathe.

Harry- Really? Ok thanks.

Harry ran off looking for Hermione. Marie turned to Ron, not saying anything, just looking in his eyes. 'Hmmm...' she thought.

Marie- What!

Ron- What, what?

Ron was even more confused now.

Marie- Ohhh. That might be hard...

Marie bit the bottom of her lip, as though she was lost in thought.

Marie- Ok thanks Ron!

She ran off.

Ron- What the...?

Ron was horribly confused, but managed to get over it. He went looking for Harry and Hermione. Marie was running everywhere to find something, well someone. She stopped when she saw a blonde, Ravenclaw standing talking to other students. They whispered rude things when Marie walked up to them.

Brooke- Excuse me, but this conversation is not for Slytherins.

Marie- Oh ok, well then I guess you wouldn't care to hear what Ron Weasley

said. Bye the, my boyfriend is waiting anyway.

Brooke- Wait!

Marie turned to leave. Brooke looked at her friends.

Marie- Yes?

Marie smirked before turning back around.

Brooke- What did Ron say?

Marie- Oh nothing really, just that he liked some Ravenclaw named Brooke Rosewood. But, he probably likes someone else since by the looks of it you didn't care to hear what I had to say...

Brooke looked excited.

Brooke- Did he really say that?

Marie- Considering I'm one of his best friends yeah.

Brooke- Is he going to the dance with anyone?

Marie- Not yet, but I think he might be asking some girl in Gryffindor soon.

Brooke's eyes widened. Her friends and she ran off, leaving a smirking Marie behind.

Marie- Well, my job's done. Now, to find Draco and tell him I need to get ready. Maybe spare a few minutes to have a snog session with him...

Marie smiled at the thought and went to the dungeons. She got to a room with a gargoyle in front of it.

Gargoyle- Password?

Marie- Qudditch.

The gargoyle moved and Marie entered what looked like an old classroom. Sure enough Draco was in there. He was on the floor wrapped in a cover sleeping. Logan and Torch where wrestling on the other side of the room. Marie went over to them and whispered something in Logan's ear, then he ran over to Draco and jumped on him. Draco screamed. Marie was laughing so hard there were tears going down her cheek.

Marie- You should have seen the look on your face!!!

Marie continued laughing and didn't notice when Draco plunged at her. He pinned her to the ground. She tried to get up, but she couldn't. Also, her wand had fallen to the side of her where she couldn't reach it.

Marie- HEY! NOT FARE!

Draco- Not fare? I was sleeping!

Draco started ticking Marie, who couldn't stop laughing. She tried to protest, but she had to luck.

Marie- Stop!!

Draco stopped, then made a trail of kisses from her collarbone up to her mouth. After a little snog session, Marie and Draco went to get ready for the dance. It didn't take them to long. Draco wore khaki pants and a dark blue T-shirt. Marie was wearing blue jeans, that were very tight, but had huge flares at the bottom, and a white, sleeveless, beater. Draco also had a chain on his neck, which Marie thought looked real nice on him. Marie had 2 necklaces on, including the one Draco got her for Christmas, which now contained a picture of him and of herself. They had 15 minutes until the dance started.

Marie- Oh, I gotta go!

Draco- Let's go then.

Draco held out his hand for Marie to grab. Before they left Draco pulled her to him and kissed her passionately. Then smiled.

Draco- Couldn't resist.

Marie smiled and they kissed again.
