"I guess this is it" Ginny said, and took her mask of, revealing her face. The boy in front of her gasped and made a disgusted face. He took off his own mask to reveal . . . Draco Malfoy!

"Weasley!?" Draco sneered at her.
"Not you!" Ginny turned around and ran out of the great hall.
Draco put his mask back on and started walking away, completely unaware of the tears streaming down the young redhead's face.

'This doesn't make sense' Draco thought 'I was enjoying her company'
'No, you weren't!' He argued 'She's a Weasley! 'Poorer than dirt, and a mudblood lover! You HATE her!'
'But I don't. She made me feel something, I'm not sure what is was, but I felt it!'
'No, you didn't! And that's final!' Draco walked the length of the Great Hall toward the dungeons, and the Slytherin dormitories.

"OH, DRAKEY!" Pansy's shrill voice pierced the silence of the Slytherin common room as he entered it.
"What!?" Draco snapped angrily.
"Did you have a good time??" Pansy took no notice of Draco's foul mood, "I had a great time too," She continued without letting him answer, " I danced with a guy who turned out to be Seamus Finnigan. What I don't understand is why he screamed and ran away when I took my mask off. Maybe my beauty shocked him and he thought that I wasn't within his reach . . . " Pansy trailed off to only find that Draco had left the room "DRAKEY!!! WHERE DID YOU GO?!?!?!"

Draco had, in fact gone into the boys dormitories only to lie in his bed and ponder Ginny's sudden departure earlier that evening.

If you were there a few hours later, you would find Draco asleep, still in his dressy clothes, on top of his sheets which he was too deep in thought to bother to get under. You would also find an old leather bound book beside him, his diary. If you were to open the book to the front cover it would say:

Draco, I wish for you to have this book.
I also used it when I was in school, and you can read my entries if you wish.
Your father could find me writing in this at any minute, so I'll make this quick.
I love you honey, and I'll be there for you until the day I die,
Love,
Mum

After reading this if you were to flip a couple of pages to today's entry it would say:

Dear mother,

How are you, wherever you are, heaven perhaps? Tonight was the masquerade I told you about earlier, and, yes I did wear the clothes you bought me before . . . you know. I had danced with a few girls, until I spotted a rather beautiful girl sitting by herself. At first I thought she was Lisa Tirpin of Ravenclaw (she has red hair), but boy, was I wrong!!
We danced the whole night, and when it was time for us to take off our masks (12:00 AM) I got a real shock, she was Virginia Weasley!! When she saw me she said 'not you' and ran off.
The one thing I don't understand is, I was really enjoying her company, she reminded me of you. . .and her eyes, like melted pools of chocolate, I could stare into them forever.
Well, you're probably thinking that I should be sent to St. Mungo's for therapy right about now, and believe me, I seriously considered going there to have my head checked.

I'll talk to you soon Mum,
Love,
Draco
