A/N: I'm sorry it takes me so long to update. At the end of this chapter sex is insinuated, but I don't go into any detail except for the removal of clothing. Which I don't think is too bad. If you do tell me and I'll change the rating, I don't want to get reported.
Chapter 7: Masquerade
The two weeks prior to the dance passed rather quickly. All of a sudden it was the dance night. Hermione and Ginny had been locked up in Hermione's room for two hours and there was only half an hour till the dance. The girls had already put on their dresses and were in the middle of doing make up.
"Ginny, I'm so nervous. What if Draco finds some other girl?"
"Well, what if Harry does?"
"Must think positive. It won't happen."
"You're right." The girls finished. "So what do you think?" Ginny's dress was a pink satin with a light blue sparkle lace over top, overall it gave it a lilac coloring. Her straps were lace and the front… well, the front had basically a corset. It laced down the front and then went around back and laced back up. The dress had a small train. Her shoes were white. they crisscrossed over her toes and then had a strap over her ankle. Her mask, the top dipped in and came back up with points where it stopped. The sides just went in and came back out. The bottom did the same as the top except that it went up. It was lilac and all sparkly. Her hair was blonde and curly and her make up was a lilac colored eye shadow, a light pink blush, a clear gloss, and sparkles all over her body.
"You look great. What about me?" My dress was a two piece. It was light green with dark green leaves to give it a wood nymph feel. The top wrapped around me and tied twice in the back. It came down to a point at the beginning of my skirt. The only sleeve I had was a strap around my forearm that had lace hanging off of it. The skirt was full length but had a v-shape cut out up to my knees. The skirt stayed close to my body yet I was able to move in it. My shoes were black. The crisscrossed across my toes and then vines laced up my legs. My mask just covered my eyes in a curvy fashion. It had vines surrounding it. My hair was halfway in a bun. And the rest was straight. The bun had vines surrounding it and then my straight hair had vines hanging through it. My make up was green eye shadow, no blush, and a clear gloss. I chose all this because it isn't me and that's the way I want it.
"You look wonderful. Now let's go."
"Alright." Ginny and I began our descent to the Great Hall.
When we walked in we saw Dumbledore getting ready to speak, "I would like to tell everyone that I would like you all to have a great time. When we demask everyone at the end of the ball any spells you have used to change your appearance will also disappear. Now, have fun." He then levitated himself up to the teacher's table (it had been levitated so they were not in the way of the dancing.)
The Great Hall looked wonderful. There were a few tables off to the side and a very dim lighting all around.
"Look, it's beautiful."
"Yeah it is. Hey two cuties, three o'clock."
"Let's go." We calmly walked up to the guys and asked them to dance. They said yes and we hit the dance floor.
The guy I was dancing with had chestnut brown hair and hazel eyes. He was really strong and a great dancer. After a few dances I go thirsty and went to get some punch, the guy I was dancing with decided to also.
"So how is the dance so far?" he asked.
"I think it's great. What about you?" It better be great. I designed it.
"Yeah it seems great. Hermione Granger did a great job with it."
"Do you know Hermione?" I decided I could try to figure out who I was with.
"Yeah I know her. Who doesn't?" Damn and I was so looking forward to knowing who it was.
"True," at this time a slow song came on.
"Care to dance?" the mysterious guy asked.
"Sure." I decided I was bored enough.
Later Ginny and I looked at each other and laughed silently. I noticed that the guy Ginny was dancing with was really cute. I mean almost everyone in here had brown hair, but I just mean his basic appearance.
"Can we switch?"
"I don't see why not."
"Great bye."
"Bye." I walked over to the guy Ginny was dancing with earlier.
"Hi."
"Hi, where's the other girl?"
"Oh, we decided to switch."
"Oh, do you know each other?"
"Kinda sorta."
"Well, care to dance?"
"Sure, why not." After dancing for a while I decided to go find Ginny, but the guy I was dancing with wouldn't let go.
"Let me go." I said, "I need to talk to my friend."
"No," he growled in my ear. "I know who you are and I'm never letting go."
"There's no way you know who I am."
"You think I
wouldn't recognize my own girlfriend?"
"Let me go or I'll
scream."
"Fine," he let me go and I went as fast as I could in my heels to find Ginny.
When I saw her I walked up to her and partner, "Hey, I need to borrow my friend." I said. I then pulled her away, "What are the chances that I would be dancing with Draco?" I whispered.
"Like nil. Why?"
"Because I think I am. I wish I could find out now."
"Well, in about ten minutes it will be the demaskng. Keep dancing till then."
"Alright, I'll let you get back to cutie over there." I walked away and went back to 'Draco'. I pried him away from a girl who looked a lot like Pansy and went back to dancing with him.
"Alright everyone." Dumbledore said, "Let us demask our partners." First, 'Draco' reached over and pulled off my mask, my straightened hair turned back to curls.
"I knew it was you." I then reached up and pulled the mask he was wearing off. The brown hair turned to blonde and hazel eyes turned to blue.
"So it is you." He then leaned forward and pecked me on the cheek.
"I love your outfit, it's so not you."
"That was precisely the point. So what do you think seriously?"
"I think you look beautiful."
"Really?"
"Would I lie to you?"
"I'm not sure."
"Hey, I resent that."
"Oh, just shut up and kiss me."
"Gladly." He leaned over and kissed me.
"Come on we have to find Ginny."
"Is that who you
kept talking to?"
"Yes," I answered. I then saw Ginny,
"Hey, who were you dancing with?"
"Hey, sweetheart."
Harry said coming up behind Ginny.
"Him." Ginny said pointing at Harry.
"You're kidding right?"
"No. Why?" she looked confused.
I dragged her over to me and whispered in her ear, "I said he was a cutie remember?" She just started giggling. "Ha. Ha. Very funny."
"Are we missing something?" asked Draco.
"No nothing at all." I said. Ginny just started laughing harder. "Ginny shut up or I'll hex you." That shut her up immediately.
"Everyone," Dumbledore said, "Everyone I need your attention please. The dance is now over. Please quietly go back to your rooms and I'll see you tomorrow. Remember it's the weekend. Have fun!" We began filing out. Draco and I left everyone and walked to our room.
When we got there I went to say goodnight, but he grabbed me around the waist and just kissed me and began to lead me up to his bedroom. I pulled away, "Mr. Malfoy, are you trying to get me to do something?"
"I'm sorry. You just looked so beautiful and… I'm really…" I cut him off with a kiss. "Are you sure?" he asked.
"I'm not a virgin." I put his hands at the waist of my skirt and he began to pull it down. "Good boy." He then pulled it the rest of the way down and began to untie my top. "Wait that's not fair if I'm completely undressed and your not." I then pulled everything but his silver boxers and his shirt off. "There much better." I whispered. I then kissed him and began to pull him to his bedroom. He didn't need telling twice. He quickly untied my top as I unbuttoned his shirt. We finally reached his bedroom and shut the door. (You don't need to hear the nitty gritty details of my sex life.)
