I was walking down the marble staircase to the entrance hall wearing my pale blue dress robes. They had told us to pack them in our letter, but I didn't think anything about it.

The entrance hall was crowded with people going into the Great Hall for the feast. Everyone looked different in their colored robes instead of the usual black.

A few minutes later, I was sitting at my table waiting for the feast to begin. All the teachers were at the staff table and were wearing dress robes, too.

I spotted Brown. He was wearing deep green dress robes. He looked over and caught my eye. I smiled at him and he smiled back. I was glad that I was able to connect with Brown about our pasts. We had alot in common in that area and he seemed like he had needed to get it all out.

Dumbledore stood up, said a few things, and sat back down.

The feast wasn't so bad. I loved all the food there, but I was nervous about the dance. I decided I would try to talk to Malfoy and try to work things out. Hopefully he would listen.

After the feast was over, the tables were cleared out to make room for the dance. The lights dimmed and the music began. I searched around for Malfoy but couldn't find him. It was dark so it was hard to see.

I was just about to give up when I saw him standing off to the side with Crabbe and Goyle. He was wearing black dress robes and his hair was hanging in his face.

I walked up to him, nervous because I didn't know what he would say to me.

"Um, Draco," I said, "can I talk to you?"

He acted like he didn't hear me. I got annoyed by this.

"Please Draco, come on. This is very important."

He still ignored me.

"Come on Draco. When are you going to grow up and start acting like a man?"

This seemed to do something. Malfoy looked at me and said, "Fine, I'll talk to you, but not for very long."

We walked away from Crabbe and Goyle so we could have privacy.

"Ok," I said, turning to him. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for everything and I really want us to get back together. But you have to know, Harry kissed me, and I'm ashamed because I didn't stop it. But don't you think if I loved Harry, I would have been with him to begin with instead of you? And that I would've come to the ball with him instead of telling him off for asking me?"

I looked at Malfoy. I thought he wasn't going to say anything. But he did.

"I don't know," he said. "I don't know if I want to get back together. I mean, I heard what you said in the hallway yesterday. But I don't know what to do."

"Well, I love you and I can't stand being away from you." My voice started cracking. I could feel tears coming, but this time I couldn't hold them back. They streamed down my face.

"I just want to be back in your arms," I cried. "I just-"

But I was cut off by Malfoy who leaned in suddenly and kissed me. The familiarity of his lips made me want him more. I threw my arms around his neck. I started sobbing so hard that we stopped kissing. Malfoy grabbed my face with both hands and looked into my eyes.

"It'll be ok, Luna. I'll never leave you." He kissed me again. "I'll always be here for you." He pulled me into a hug and I rested my head on he shoulder.

We pulled away and I wiped my face with my robes. Just then, a slow song song started playing and I realized we were still at the ball.

"Well, do you want to dance?" asked Malfoy, holding out his hand to me.

"I would love to," I said taking his hand.

We walked out into the middle of the dance floor. I wrapped my arms around Malfoy's neck and he wrapped his around my waist. I rested my chin on his shoulder. We danced for a while until Malfoy said, "I'm sorry for what I've done."

I looked up at him.

"You didn't do anything wrong."

"Yes, I did," he said. "I got all mad when I saw you and Potter together and I overreacted. I'm sorry."

"Draco, I don't blame you for that. I would've done the same thing if I saw you and another girl together. So don't feel bad."

I looked into his eyes. He kissed me softly.

"Let's just forget about all the time we lost when we weren't together," said Malfoy.

I loved being back in his arms. It was like nothing had ever happened. Like those few weeks never existed. It was just a memory.

I ran my fingers through his blonde locks that were hanging in his face and whispered, "I love you."

He kissed me and we were lost in our own fantasy.
