When they got downstairs, Ron had cornered Ginny and was ranting, while the whole common room had gathered around them, about how Ginny's dress was too tight and possibly suggestive.
Hermione pushed through the crowd behind Ron and whispered softly in his ear,
"Calm down, love,"
He whipped around and his jaw dropped open.
"Mione," he staggered, "you look, beautiful."
With that, he completely forgot the fight with Ginny. Ron and Hermione, Harry and Parvati, Lavender and Dean, and Ginny made their way to the Entrance Hall.
They made their way down the Grand Staircase two at a time until it came to Ginny. She stood out of view for a few seconds, took a breath, and made her way slowly down the stairs.
Draco, who was at the bottom of the stairs with his back turned towards her, had not seemed to notice all the huge eyes that were starring at something right behind him. All the eyes flashed with surprise and anger when she came up behind Draco.
"Ahem."
Draco turned around and smiled a true smile. "You exceed lovely, Ginny."
"Why, thank you, Draco." She took his arm and made towards the Great Hall's doors.
The doors opened at exactly eight o' clock. Draco and Ginny found a table with Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Parvati.
"Welcome," Dumbledore said from the Head Table, "to the unofficial Yule Ball. Now welcome, The Weird Sisters!" Dumbledore clapped with the rest of the staff and students while the band stepped up on stage.
"Would you like to dance with me, Ginny?" Draco asked.
"That's what I came here to do, isn't it?" Ginny answered giving him her hand, and they swept past all the starring boys, to middle of the dance floor.
"So, Draco, how do you like the decorations I spent all day on?" Ginny asked groaning.
"Well, I've got to admit, Granger's got taste."
With that, she kissed softly on the lips. Everyone near them gasped. Pansy ran up to Draco, and pushed Ginny to the floor to get to him.
"Drakey! What the hell do you think you're doing?" Pansy shrieked in his face.
"Move, Parkinson." Draco said calmly, but his eyes had turned a hard gray from the sparkling silver they had been a few minutes ago.
He moved past her, and helped Ginny up.
"Drakey! Why are you with that whore?"
Then Pansy stepped back with her hand on her cheek. Ginny had slapped her, hard.
"Why you little bitch!"
"Fine, call me bitch. I have Draco. You're just jealous. Let's go Draco."
Ginny stormed out of the great Hall with Draco behind her, leaving a shocked and embarrassed Pansy in the middle of the dance floor everyone either her or the Great Hall doors.
