I have been sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. I'm good about avoiding the folks when they're sick, but this time I wasn't that lucky. I was hurting pretty badly, my head was swirming, if I sneezed once, I sneezed five times. I was so sick I couldn't even go out and do my muggle raids...I meant I couldn't go to school. Yes, I'm done with the self pity now, and on to my thanks. Thank you, Kitty Kat, for proof reading my stuff. I now know I spelled 'shout' wrong...there is no 'A' in 'shout'. And thank you to all the people who read my first two chapters and came back to read this one! On with tha story....
STAR CROSSED
Draco could hardly believe it. It was the night of the Slytherin Ball. All the guys were waiting in the Common Room for their dates. Then the girls came spilling down the stair way and over to the guys. Most of the girls looked so happy, but Sheena had her lip curled. All the other girls got the best dates, she was stuck with a little-known fifth year. Panda came down the stairs beaming. She had this pretty little white dress with panda spots, and her eye liner made little circles around the corners of her outer eyes. She sprinted over to her date, the seventh year hottie. He kissed her hand and she started giggling like mad crazy. (They don't use that word in England, do they?)
And then Sylla came down. She looked perfect in her green dress. The Slytherins looked up and all the guys in the room started cheering. Sheena hit her date when he whistled. Sylla came down and took Draco's arm and the last three girls came down. Crabbe and Goyle almost broke out into another fight when Alison Terry came down the stairs. In the end Crabbe took the left arm, Goyle the right. When no one else came down, every one headed for the Great Hall.

THE BALL IN THE GREAT HALL
(I rhymed. Oooh yeaaah!)
The Great Hall was all decked out in green and silver. And the latest popular witch/wizard music was playing. Alison walked her dates over to the food table. (That's what they love about her, she has an appetite to rival theirs.) Every one else started dancing. Draco and Sylla were in the middle of a dance when Panda cut in. "'Scuse me. Atta boy!" And Panda went off dancing with Sylla. Draco turned over to Kurt. "Your date just stole my date!" He said, Kurt kind of laughed. "Yes, but my date left me for yours!" Kurt said in his German accent. (O.k, I couldn't resist putting a German foreign exchange student and naming him Kurt. I watch too much X-Men Evolution. So think Nightcrawler, and you pretty much have my Kurt.) "Want to make them jealous?" Kurt asked. "O.k." Kurt held his hand out and Draco shrugged then took it. They started dancing while glancing over to their dates.
"So, how are you enjoying Mr.Hottie, Draco Malfoy?" Panda asked, cocking an eye in imitation of him. "Great. How's your date Mr.German Guy?" "He's wonderful! And so adorable!! So cuddly." She said going in to mad giggles. They looked over and saw Draco and Kurt dancing, Draco taking the lead and Kurt acting like a girl. "Look at how desperate they are! Trying to get us jealous." Sylla said. They stopped dancing and walked over to Draco and Kurt, who were getting a lot of suspicious looks. Panda grabbed Kurt's tie and walked one way while Sylla grabbed Draco's hand and went the other. "I'd almost think you were having more fun with him than me." Sylla said while dancing with Draco again. "Well, half way through a song you took off."
After an hour of dancing Draco walked Sylla out to the Court Yard. They left just in time to miss Crabbe and Goyle's first fight of the night. The two sat down on a bench in silence for a minute. Then Draco broke the silence by clearing his throat. "You know, I never got to finish what I was going to say." He said, looking up at the sky. "What you were going to say? When?" Sylla asked, only guessing about what he meant. "That day at lunch, before the two idiots hit me." He looked over at her. "You said that Panda's the only person who cares about you. That's not true. There are at least two other people who do." Sylla shook her head but didn't say anything. "It's true. When my dad met you over summer break he went wild for you. He brings you up in conversation all the time. But, I care about you more." He said all this, and his voice never wavered, his eyes never looked away from hers. Sylla smiled. Before she knew what was happening, he leaned in and kissed her.
She sat there completely still for a moment, heart beating, then she kissed him back. "Oh...My..." And with a thud, Sheena fell out of a tree. "Spying, eh?" Jane popped up from bushes. "Spyers should be dealt with." Added Veronika, coming out from another bush. Veronika bent down and grabbed Sheena by the hair. "Oh, and you weren't spying on us." Sylla broke in, making all three of the other women look up. "No, we were walking to the ball, to check out...the food." Veronika explained, fist inches away from Sheena's face. At the word 'food' Jane and Veronika glared at Sheena, who whimpered. "O.k, we scared her, now drop her Veronika." Jane said. Veronika let her go, but kept her face really close to Sheena's. "Fuck up again, and I'll have you, in the most unpleasent manner. I'll let you linger." Veronika stood back up. "I'm starved, and I heard the outbreak of a fight." And they were gone. Sylla sat back down, and giggled akwardly.
Draco put a hand on Sylla's knee. "See, people care about you." He said. Sylla smiled again, her previous anger at the intruders forgotten. "Thank you." She managed. "Yeah." He said, standing up. "Let's get back in there before I get more gushy." Draco said, holding out his hand to help her up. They walked back in to see Alison, fuming at her two dates. "Why do you keep fighting over me? It's embarrassing."Draco smirked and Sylla snickered. Sheena caught them at a glance and ran off. Now if only she could drop dead...that was cold.
Sheena felt some breath down her neck and turned to see Veronika, grining one of those grins that makes people uneasy. "Spying again?" She asked. "N-no." Sheena stammered. And ran off again.
After a couple more songs it occured to everyone that two hours had passed. One more hour and the ball was over. So Sylla and Draco tried their luck outside again. They sat silently for a while, then Sylla broke the silence. "It's been fun." "Yeah." They looked up at the moon, and Sylla rested her head on Draco's shoulder. "Mmm..pppy be hrre." She mumbled through a yawn. "I'm not sure what you said," Draco said after yawning himself, "but I think I like it." Sylla drew her arms around him. "Good." She replied.
END.
A/N: The next chapter starts off sappy, but it gets very dramatic!!!!! Sylla's dark secret is soon to be revield! And Only Jane knows the secret!!!!!! Don't you feel proud Jane? And I put you in the story, 'cause you're my good, good friend!
*Pulls out a hand puppet of Lord Voldemort. Puppet sings.* You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me hAApppyyy when skys are grey. *Everyone, hint my sarcasim.*
Read and Review!!!! I know Lord Voldermort's hotel number, and I'm NOT afraid to dial it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
