Chapter 12: New Year's Ball Resolutions
The smell of musty old books enveloped Draco in a world he had so long ago come to love. The years of knowledge that were painfully poured into each book riddled with facts and opinion and theories and sweat had come to mesmerize him sometime in his sixth year. He couldn't find a coherent thought as to why anyone would put off being in this place of knowledge except for stupidity that the library repented.
He grasped the title he was searching for along with several other advanced Transfiguration books. Sitting where he had placed his book bag, Draco ruffled through it to find his quill and a bottle of ink. The end of the feather touched Draco's cheek as he dipped it causing him to giggle quietly. This would be his downfall one day when someone caught him doing this. Bad habits of leaning forward and getting tickled by the quill was something Draco had always done.
He sat up straight and opened the book while he dipped his quill out of the ink. He read the text and began to take notes. He had been at it for a good two hours before he got fully distracted at feeling eyes on the back of his head. He looked up at the window and saw no one in the reflection.
Draco had been trained his whole life to know when someone was watching him. He wasn't paranoid like Moody because frankly, who would try and kill him? He was deemed 'dangerous' because of his father's status. He knew someone was watching him. Well, whoever it was, they were obviously trying to not make him notice.
Draco shrugged and got back to work. He had gotten back on his study schedule. He had memorized everything from his first through fifth years before his O.W.Ls. He had gone over his notes the first semester. Now he was going over his actual N.E.W.T lessons. Transfiguration was his weakest.
He felt eyes boring into his back again. He grasped his wand in his robe sleeve and counted to three before spinning around to look behind him. Standing there was none other than Hermione Granger. The charm had to be working. He walked over to her leaving all his books and notes on the table.
"Hermione. I've been meaning to talk to you, but you've been ignoring me." He said trying to keep a bored sound from escaping his lips with each word.
"Why do you think I've been ignoring you? You almost killed my best friend who means more to me on this planet than anyone else. Then, instead of trying to make it up to me, you go and shag my best female friend. That's pretty pathetic, even for you." She spat out in a hushed, hurried whisper.
"And Potter got his revenge didn't he with that last dual we had? And about Weasley. Go talk to her about what happened. If you won't let me explain, let her explain because you've never had a row and you trust her. I can see it in your eyes." Draco said boring into her soul again with his eyes. Lust and betrayal plagued her thoughts.
"I haven't been talking to her." Hermione said stubbornly.
"Oh may you be damned, Granger. You've been standing here watching me, but you haven't gone and talked to her."
"I have done no such thing. I shall be going now, you arse. The ball is in less than five hours and I need to get ready for Blaise." She said with an air of ignorance as she walked out of the library. Draco shrugged and gathered his parchment, quill, ink, and books he would check out. He walked to Madam Pince who promptly wrote waved her wand around the books and around a catalog.
Draco walked out of the library with his books in hand and hurriedly walked to his common room. When he entered he saw Granger's door open without her in there. She must have gone to the Gryffindor dormitory to get ready. Draco shrugged off his books at his desk in the common room.
Pacing around the common room for a good five minutes, Draco sprinted out of the portrait and down to the Great Hall. He walked in quickly to see teachers working on the decorations he and Hermione had planned out. He saw a giant clock flashing over everyone's head.
"May we help you, Mr. Malfoy?" Dumbledore asked him with his damned twinkling eyes behind his half moon spectacles.
"I just wanted to see how it was going." Draco admitted as the light in his eyes quickly went out to show his normal stone eyes.
"Yes. It is going quite well. We need something to get the students' minds off the war. I do have something I wanted to ask you." Dumbledore said as Draco got a serious expression on his face and turned toward the Headmaster, "I would like to help you welcome in two new students. They have been sorted personally and have both been put into Slytherin house. These two students have special circumstances for being here as you no doubt know. They will be under my protection as they have risked quite a bit to be here. They will be in attendance at the ball. Can I count on you?"
"Yes sir." Draco said seriously. Marijana and who? The only other person he knew would be Lily, but she said she would help Voldemort.
Draco ran with all his might to the Slytherin common room, passing students who backed out of his way. Draco couldn't remember the last time he full out ran. If Lily was there, he had to talk to her.
He hit the portrait out of breath and huffed out, "New Year's Resolutions." before going into the common room to see it full of girls who ran into the girls staircase to start getting ready.
He ignored them and yelled out, "LILY!!!!!! LILY!" He screamed out causing many people to come downstairs and see what his issue was. "Go get ready or go outside." He ordered as some went back upstairs but some just stood idly around.
He saw her walk down with a cold expression on her face. He saw some Slytherin guys turn and start to stare. She looked coldly at them causing them to scuttle away.
Draco bit his lip and sped to hug her. He took her in his arms and squeezed the air out of her before letting go, "I thought you weren't-"
She had cut him off with a wave of his hand, "What would you do for Blaise?"
"Anything."
"What would I do for my best friend? Anything. I shall change my ways, however corny that sounds."
"Do you have anyone to go to the ball with?" Draco asked her seriously, "Would you like to be accompanied by moi?" Draco asked with a smirk on his face. To his surprise she frowned but nodded, "And Marijana?" Draco asked.
"We've been here since yesterday. She got asked by Seamus Finnigan of Gryffindor." She said still frowning.
"How do you know Seamus Finnigan?" He asked curiously. She raised an eyebrow and smirked, "Never mind then. And you didn't get asked by anyone?"
"I never said that. The one person I wanted to go with isn't even speaking with me." She mumbled.
"I've wanted to ask you about that night at the Weasley's. I overheard you and Weasley." He looked down, truly ashamed. She opened her mouth and shut it again looking at him in disgust.
Her mouth then opened again as her face softened, "It's alright. I guess I should have expected for you to find out. And I suppose you're curious about that, huh?" She asked him as he nodded, "Look, I have to get ready. Since I'm being 'accompanied' by you, I'll tell you tonight. Cheers Draco." She said as she jogged up to the girls' dormitories.
Draco groaned as he walked out of the portrait and into the corridor. He saw a statue of a centaur. He mumbled something and the statue swung open. Draco walked along the passage for a short distance before he pushed in a stone and it opened to reveal the outside. He saw several people outside fighting with snowballs. He spotted Blaise and jogged over to him.
"The person you've been wanting to see is here." Draco said causing Blaise to throw a snowball at him.
"Who have I been wanting to see?" Blaise asked him as he ducked from a snowball that Justin Finch-Fletchy threw.
"You'll find out at the ball tonight if you don't know." Draco whispered as he took some snow in his hands and molded it into a ball and throwing it at Terry Boot.
"You playing then, Malfoy?" Terry asked him as he dodged the snowball.
"Sure." Draco answered as he took a snowball and hit it at a turned Harry Potter. He laughed a bit evilly before he was hit in the face with a snowball Potter had thrown back.
Taking a look at himself in the mirror one last time, Draco stepped out of his bathroom. The ball's theme would be different from what they originally planned. The bands they had set would be a bit hard to dance to in dress robes. The dress would be casual.
Draco was wearing orange shorts with his boxers slightly above his pants, a white under top with a button up shirt unbuttoned over it, and a necklace. He had charmed his white hair partly green.
Draco idly ran his hand through his hair as he walked out the portrait hole and made his way to the Slytherin common room. He saw people walking out and bustling inside the common room.
When he saw her, he should have been amazed. She was wearing a pink tube top with strings hanging off the sides and a tiered black mini skirt. He smirked out of obligation as he formed his arm into a V shape along them to hook arms. They walked silently to the Great Hall.
He led her to the front where he saw Blaise standing with Hermione. He had to hold his breath so he wouldn't moan. She abandoned her bushy hair and baggy robes for tonight like she had in her fourth year. She had on a ruffled brown/yellow/red skirt that had its longest part hang at her ankles and a off the shoulder tank top.
"Screw your eyeballs back in, Draco." Lily said with a smirk on her face as Draco turned to face her lazily.
He waited for a few seconds just facing her before he saw the Great Hall open its double doors to unveil a sight identical to the Yule Ball. He grasped back onto her and led her inside and pulled out a seat for Lily to sit at. She thanked him and he took a seat. He was not the first person to sit as the Professors were already seated. He cursed his Head Boy status for the first time as he was forced to sit at this table.
He saw Blaise pull out a seat for Hermione by McGonagall. She smiled at him and sat while Blaise sat beside her. Blaise flashed Draco a quick smirk before returning to keep Hermione in conversation.
"Stop staring at him." Draco whispered to Lily who was looking at a table with Potter, Weasley, Weasley, Finnigan, Brown, Patil, Marijana, and Thomas. She returned to Draco and raised an eyebrow, "Tell me."
She opened her mouth and closed it just as quick when Dumbledore started speaking, "Welcome everyone to the first annual New Year's Ball! Dinner will be served and then the ball will begin. There is a time to make a speech and I will make it… at the beginning of next year. Tuck in!"
Draco rolled his eyes at Dumbledore and opened his menu. He ordered whatever appeared first on the list and ate as quickly as he could keeping in mind his manners.
"Tell me." Draco insisted when his date finished her desert.
She looked like she had aged a year as she took a breath in and blew it back out, "You do remember after second year how my family had asked me where I wanted to go for summer, do you not?" He nodded, "Well, I had never seen an actual pyramid so I said to father 'Can we go to Egypt' and he nodded. Do you remember in your Daily Prophet how your Ministry had a raffle? Do you remember who won?"
"Arthur Weasley… He went to Egypt. Go on." Draco said as things clicked.
"That is when I met Ron, as I know you figured out. We clicked. Isn't that what Londoners say? We owled to one another and built a friendship." She trailed off and stood up, pushing her chair in. Draco looked confused but noticed that Dumbledore was ushering out fourth years and under. The other Professors were transfiguring the tables to benches and pushing them to the side leaving a big table in the corner for drinks and snacks.
"Blaise, Granger, you and I have the first dance." Draco said as the doors swung open and Blink 182 walked in with all their glory. He watched as people totally erupted in joy while some of the younger girls started crying. Draco smirked as Lily's eyes lit up.
"May I have this dance?" He asked as the band took their position in the front of the Great Hall with their instruments.
"How are you guys doin' tonight?" Asked Travis in his American accent. Applause echoed through the Great Hall, "We're here because your Headmaster and us go way back to when we were just young wizards at Salem Wizarding Academy. Let's get the Head Boy and Girl out here with their dates for the first slow song." He said as they started a slow tune.
Draco had Lily in the center of the dance floor and put one hand on her waist and took the his other hand and took her small hand in his while he saw Blaise do the same with Hermione.
He slowly led her in circled while the guys from Blink played All of This. He watched as people slowly joined in. He let go over her hand and put both his hands on her waist and whispered into her ear, "Finish."
"When in fourth year, Ronald started to talk of this Granger girl. I became jealous but laid low and kept my calm. He was jealous of Viktor Krum's position. Viktor had started to really care for the girl in fifth year when I decided to get involved. Viktor broke it off with Mudblood.
"Granger was heartbroken. Ron made his move to be with her. I didn't care, Draco. You see, I had come to care for him as much as I cared for my best of friends. He couldn't be with me. I had already become a Deatheater in my sixth year as you know. Only heartbreak would come for him with me. If he could be happy with this Granger girl, then let him be happy.
"He talked of nothing but his growing relationship with Hermione for a good portion of his sixth year. Then about Christmas I saw him. I couldn't help myself. I had gotten my apparition license so I came to Hogsmeade. I saw him and I broke him off from everyone so he would talk to me.
"He told me of Granger being depressed. He told me of her putting her friendship with Harry Potter first over her ongoing relationship with him. He was jealous as I had been. She had broken it off with him when she saw how unfairly she was treating him.
"I talked with him well into the night. I had confessed him my feelings, Draco. I was expecting the worst when he leaned over to kiss me. You know what happened from there. I had never felt so right being in his arms. He was my first. I was his.
"He saw my Dark Mark. He felt like he had betrayed his friends and he was full of regret. I felt so bad. He regretted me. I left him then." Draco let go of her and took her hand to lead her outside of the Great Hall and to the lit up outside. He took her to the Great Lake. She hugged him and cried.
"It'll be alright. Come on, Lils, it'll be fine." He rubbed her back and let her cry.
"He wrote me letters to apologize. He said he was sorry for hurting me and hurting himself. He flood to my own common room in Durmstrang one day. How he found where Durmstrang was, I had no idea. I told him about everything I had been feeling and about how I became a Deatheater.
"I loved him. If he fell in love with me, I don't know. I broke off contact with him for a bit. When he invited me to his Christmas dinner, I didn't answer the owl. When I saw him, all my feelings came back. He said he had loved me. It's too late now." She said as she cast a spell on her eyes to make the puffiness go away.
"I'll help you get back Weasley if it's the last thing I do." Draco promised as he led her back inside to the ball.
A/N: Next part is prolly gonna be Draco starting the plot and he's falling hard. I think I'm going to have a happy ending 45% but 55% is a bit of a happy ending for Hermione, Ron, Harry, Lily and but Draco has a bad ending. Maybe death? Let me know what you think of that. Cheers- Marijana
