Chapter 8: If You Break Her Heart I'll Kick Your Ass
Draco and I never talked to anyone about that incident. But after that we started having a secret relationship.
We found out that we had a lot in common.
On December 9 Professor Dumbledore announced that we were going to have a Christmas ball. The theme was fairy tale characters from muggle books, you know like Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and the little Mermaid.
That afternoon Draco pulled me aside,
"Will you go to the ball with me?" he asked.
"Err. what will other- how will others react?"
"I know, but they'll just have to deal with it sooner or later."
"Alright then"
"Great"
"What character should we be?"
"I don't know any."
"How about Beauty and the Beast?"
"You want me to be a beast?! With a hairy body and-"
"Don't be stupid. I'm talking about when the breast turns human. I don't want to go to the ball with some hideous monster. I was thinking the story kind of described us. You changed for the better in a way."
"Oh, well as long as I don't need to put some hair growing charm on myself."
"No way, who would want to hide your gorgeous face?"
December 10 was a hogmead day. I went to Diagon Alley's new muggle clothing shop and got a dress that looked just like Bell's yellow gown.
I had to bring Asia along because she had never been here. She and Kouji were going as Chinese Snow White. She said they added the Chinese part because they both had long hair.
I recall her saying, "I'm not cutting my hair for some dance."
At the quiddach shop I ran into Draco.
"Err.Malfoy can I talk to you for a moment?" Asia asked.
"Sure"
"Why?" Pansy asked challenge filling her voice.
She pulled out her wand and pointed it to Asia.
~Asia's POV
"You must be kidding me," I said almost laughing.
Pansy brought her wand whooshing down and attempted to put a tickling charm on me.
"Air shield," I said calmly, "a tickling charm? You must be kidding me. And if you decide to try and attack me again I'll take points from your house and you will receive a detention."
"What makes you think you have that type of power?" she asked in a taunting voice.
"Because I'm working at the school-"
"You aren't a witch."
"Did you just notice that? I'm a fairy of course, a royal fairy. One with more power than you will ever have."
"Spufey!"
"Reflection!"
She fell to the ground. I snapped my fingers lifting the curse.
"Fifteen points from Slythren and a detention," I said calmly, "Mr. Malfoy, maybe now isn't a good time. Perhaps we could talk later?"
"Now's a great time."
"Alright"
I brought him into an empty alleyway.
"I saw shat you did for Justine and I'm glad. I always thought Malfoys were.well, I though they didn't show emotions ever. I thought you were just like your parents. That's why I used magic to make you sit and throw you against the wall. And for all the things I did to you I apologize?
"That's alright, I understand"
"Still, I shouldn't have judged you by your sir name. So how are things going with you and Asia?"
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, don't play stupid. I'm not blind. Both of you have fallen head over heels in love with each other."
"Even if I do love her no one can find out."
"Why?"
"For obvious reasons: she's a Gryffindor, I'm a Slythren; things like that. No both of our lives would be destroyed in a flash."
"I see. Well, all I can say is listen to your heart. When I was dating a muggle every one though I lost my mind. My parents had tried to get me an arranged marriage. But I didn't listen to anyone else. In everything you do some one is going to disagree, so might as well do what you think is right. If people are really your friends they'll understand and will do their best to be civilized."
"I suppose"
"Well if both of you want to keep your friendship secret you can use my quarters. I'm never in there, not that it's not elegant. It's just that I'd rather be outside doing things than be cooped up."
"Thanks"
"You're welcome Mr. Malfoy."
"You can call me Draco."
"Alright Draco"
He looked down at the floor and I understood. He didn't know what to do.
"She really cares about you."
"I know"
"So if you break her heart I'll kick your butt," I said in a joking voice.
He looked up and smiled.
"You better get going before that Pansy friend of yours thinks I hexed you."
"Alright"
"Have a good day."
"You too"
