Chapter Seven

Finally, the day of the dance had arrived and Maddy was in the Gryffindor girls' dormitory with Lavender and Hermione getting ready for it.

Lavender and Hermione applied make-up onto Maddy's face, doing up her hair and adjusting her dress. After what seemed for an eternity, the girls were ready. They made their entrance into the common room, where Harry, Ron and Dean were waiting for them.

Upon seeing the girls, the three boys' jaws fell open in awe.

Lavender, true to her name, wore a lavender dress made of silk, her short hair brushed soft and silky. She grinned broadly at Dean.

Hermione, on the other hand, had on a short green dress that set off her reddish brown hair which was help up in an elegant bun, wisps of hair framing her face.

Maddy, who was the last to come down the stairs, wore a gorgeous light pink dress made of sheer silk, her jet-black hair curled and hanging down her back in elegant waves.

A smile lit up Harry's nervous face when he laid eyes on his date, earning him a peck on the cheek from Maddy.

Then, the three couples headed to the Great Hall, hand in hand.

As Dean and Lavender, Hermione and Ron and Harry and Maddy entered the Great Hall, their eyes widened at the sight before them. The ceiling of the Great Hall had been bewitched to look like the night sky filled with thousands of bright shining stars. Couples swayed on the dance floor while others stood nearby chatting to each other. Streamers hung from every possible place.

A certain blonde boy stood alone in a corner, turning down every girl who had asked him for a dance, just as he did for those who asked him to the dance. He sighed, then caught sight of Maddy entering, her fingers laced with Harry's. Anger flared up in Draco as he narrowed his eyes, but desperately tried to keep his cool.

He stood at a corner, as he stared at Maddy.

Harry twirled her around in his arms as he leaned in for a kiss, and a kiss was what he got. Draco winced slightly whenever Maddy kissed Harry. He stood there for half an hour, watching Maddy dance with Harry, Ron, Dean, Seamus and other Gryffindors.

Finally, Maddy caught Draco's eye. She smiled and whispered something to Harry, causing him to glance disdainfully at the Slytherin who was leaning against a stone pillar. Maddy kissed him on the cheek softly and after receiving a nod from Harry, waltzed over to where Draco was standing.

She stopped right in front of him. Draco smirked and asked, "Care for a dance?"

Maddy chuckled and agreed. Draco swept her onto the dance floor and swayed to the music with her. Maddy look straight into his stormy gray eyes. When the song had ended, Maddy led him outside to the courtyard and looked at him seriously.

"Draco, why have you been ignoring me lately?" she asked.

Draco flinched at Maddy's hurt tone.

"Is it because of Harry and I?" Maddy supplied.

Draco looked Maddy in the eye before whispering,"kind of..."

Maddy chuckled. "Draco, Harry is a really nice guy, and he really likes me, but deep down, it's you who I really like."

Draco's face was slowly lit up by a broad smile. "Really?"

Maddy nodded, before being silenced by Draco's lips on hers. She leaned in, her arms wrapped around his neck. When they pulled apart, Draco heard a sharp intake of breathe form Maddy.

The two students turned to face an extremely angry Harry standing in the courtyard. He turned away and stormed back to the castle.
