Hello again. It's time for chapter 3 of my wonderful story.
I'm not sure exactly how long I'm gonna make it. But I will
say that it is nowhere near done yet. I hope you all enjoy.

It was almost time for the ball. In fact, it was due to start in about twenty-five minutes. Almost every student was in the Great Hall. It was very crowded. Harry was waiting eagerly for the Ball to start. He was scared about what everyone would think about him and Draco. Would they accept them? Would they be hostile? Would they tell Draco's father? All these questions were running through his mind as he leaned against the wall with Ron and Hermione.
"You all right there, Harry?" Ron asked him. "You look nervous."
"I am nervous Ron. I mean, the anticipation," Harry answered him.
"Who is it that you are meeting anyway?" Ron asked him again. "I mean, I have never seen you this nervous before."
"Well, I'm just scared. I'm alright though."

Draco waited to make his fashionably late entrance. It was a Malfoy tradition. Always come in fashionably late. It was eating him up inside. He wanted to see Harry. He missed Harry.
He looked at his watch and decided that it was time to go. The Ball had started an hour ago. He got up and started walking to the Great Hall. He mindlessly fingered the ring box in his pocket. Was this going to work? Did Harry really want him forever? Draco knew that he wanted to be Harry's one and only, and that he loved him more then anything in the world.
He walked a little faster, going through the steps to his and Harry's dance. It was a complex dance. It had a lot of twirls and dips. They had worked it out together. He was going to request it for a special occasion. He knew how the Hogwarts music team worked. You tell them it's for an anniversary and they will play it. He couldn't wait.
He was almost to the Ball now. He could hear the music playing and he wondered where his Harry was. Was he inside or was he up in his common room still? He wasn't sure.
He was now in front of the doors to the Great Hall. He hesitated. He was unsure of announcing this now. What would his father do? What would his mother do? While it was true that his mother was more open then his father, he still couldn't help but be worried. She was still homophobic. Like his father.
He gulped and pushed the doors open. He had to push his fears aside. He had to do this for Harry.
He walked into the Great Hall and searched for Harry. He saw him, leaning on the wall on the other side of the room, with a frantic look on his face. It was obvious that he was afraid the Draco wasn't going to show up.
Draco smiled at his fiancé's nervousness. He walked over to the music team and smiled.
"I'd like to request a song please."
"Oh, hi there, Malfoy. I'm sorry, but we don't have any room left for any requests."
It was Seamus. Draco hated Seamus with a passion but he had to get his song played, for Harry.
"Seamus, when have I ever asked you for anything?" he asked, a desperate look in his eye.
"Uhh, never. But we don't have anymore space for requests."
"Listen, I need this song played. I'm going to propose at the end of it. PLEASE do this for me. You are the only one who knows." Draco pleaded.
"You're proposing? To who?"
"I. can't say. It's a surprise."
"I'll make a deal with you. You tell me who you're proposing to, and I'll make sure your song gets played." He smirked.
"You swear?" Draco asked and Seamus nodded. Draco leaned into Seamus's ear and whispered, "Harry Potter."
"For real? He's going to say no. I know Harry." Seamus smirked again. "But I made a deal. I'll play your song next. What is it, by the way?"
"I'd Do Anything, by Simple Plan, a muggle group."

"Harry, I don't think he's going to show. We've been waiting for almost an hour." Ron complained.
Harry sighed and turned his head. He was afraid now that Draco would chicken out. But it didn't sound like him at all. He was worried. Draco should be here. He promised he'd be here. He sighed again. He was about to give up and leave.
Right as he was about to leave, Draco came up, and in his usual, public façade, he said,
"Well, well, you're dressed up tonight, aren't you?"
Ron jumped up, ready to attack.
"Why yes I am, I'm waiting for someone special," Harry replied, as he heard the beginning of 'their' song.
"Follow me?" Draco asked him, an eyebrow arched perfectly. Harry nodded.
They started toward the dance floor. Hermione and Ron followed closely, expecting a fight, as did many teachers. Harry smiled as he heard the symphony start to get a bit faster.
They started their dance.
(Dracona: This isn't going to be very descriptive, because I'm no good at dancing or describing them. And I can't remember the words t the song. If you know the words, could anyone who knows them please email them to me? Pretty please with sugar on top. Sorry about the bad dance scene.)
It started slow, with just minor waltz moves, twirls and such. Harry loved dancing with Draco. He felt so at home in his arms.
The song was getting fast, and Harry was so wrapped up in it, that he didn't notice Ron passing out, or Hermione trying to hold him up. All he saw was Draco's silver-grey eyes.
Harry was into one part of there dance, where Draco lifted Harry off the ground, and Harry wrapped his legs around his waist. Draco swung Harry around while he was attached to his waist and then they did a complicated dismount.
Harry smiled at Draco as he was pulled into a deep dip, his head almost touching the floor.
All this dancing was making him eager. He wanted it to be over. So he could kiss his Dragon. The song was at a slow spot. (The spot where it is says, "I close my eyes and all I see is you, I close my eyes, I try to sleep I can't forget you.")
All eyes were on the couple as they danced this intimate dance. Ron finally came to. He looked up at Hermione and Said "What the hell is Harry doing out there with Malfoy?!"
Hermione was speechless. She could handle Harry being gay, but being gay and with Malfoy was a different story. She stared at them and then looked at Ron. "It looks like they've done this before."

Draco was smiling and Harry was panting. It was such a tiring dance. They had been practicing it since the term started, and now it was around Christmas. But it still always managed to tire them out. It was nearly over though.
Draco was ready to stick his hands in his pocket, and pull out the boxed ring, and propose a second time. It would match their dance perfectly. Draco ended up on one knee at the end. So it would match it with a ring in his hand. It was only seconds away before Draco would go on his knee. Harry's breath was caught in his throat as he saw Draco fall onto his knee, make a swift reach for his pocket, and hold the ring up in a traditional proposing fashion.
Harry heard the whole room gasp. It was a beautiful sight. Draco on his knee like that. Harry knew that the whole school was waiting his response. He smiled at his lover and gave his hand to Draco. Another gasp filled the room, along with many 'thumps' of people fainting. Draco smiled and slipped the ring onto Harry's finger.
He stood up and pulled Harry into a passionate kiss.
Harry pulled away and smiled at Draco.
"Mine," he whispered.
"Always," Draco answered and he pulled Harry in for another, less desperate kiss.
The Hall was silent. All eyes were on the couple.
"I think we have an audience," Harry giggled.
Draco turned and looked around at the people who were staring at them.
"What's the matter with you all? Haven't you ever seen a gay man propose?" he yelled angrily.

Harry: Look how happy we are.
Draco: I know. Remember when we went to Hogsmeade that one time and snogged in the Three Broomsticks?
Harry: Yeah, and that old guy was all red. I swear, people act like there aren't any gays in the world.
Dracona: I know. It pisses me off. How did you guys get out of the closet? I thought I locked the door.
Harry: ~pulls out wand~ you seem to forget, Alohamora.
Dracona: He he oh yeah. Any way, the next chapter will be up soon. I hope. If something doesn't come up. Please review. I love all who do!!
Draco: I swear, she can be so daft. Well, anyway, enjoy the story. I'll try to keep her writing.
Harry: Yeah me too.
