Chapter 16- "What do you mean you hate Gryffindors?"

Draco sat in the Slytherin common room, watching Pansy from across the room. She was talking to Millicent Bulstrode about the Yule ball. He overheard them talking about what they were going to wear.

"I have this REALLY nice New blue dress, I'm thinking of wearing...but I don't know, maybe it's too flashy..."

"Oh Bullstrode, nothing will be too flashy...It's the Yule Ball, people come in so many different colors."

"I suppose you're right...so what are you wearing?"

"Oh I don't know...I haven't even really looked for one, actually."

"You Don't know? Parkinson, what's wrong with you? It's not that far away!"

"It's bloodythree months from now!" Pansy had snapped at Millicent, causing her to jump. "Besides, I don't really feel like going this year..." she muttered, leaning back into her chair. "Why waste money on a dress, I wont even wear?..."

Draco winced at her words. He didn't really feel up to going this year either, and if Blaise hadn't begged him to come, he wouldn't have. But seeing as though he had already bought the tux, he really had no choice. But she had to go, she just had to. He groaned, getting up and walking up the stairs. He really wasn't in the mood to hear anymore of their idol chit chat or talk of not going to the ball.

He slumped down onto his bed, putting his hands behind his back and stared up at the top of his four-poster bed. Pansy hadn't even looked at a dress yet. Why was that? usually, she would already have one, on a hanger in her closet, all ready and primped and all of that gushy girl stuff.

But she hadn't even looked at one yet...

This was unlike her. What was wrong? He pulled out his computer and signed on.

He began to write her an email, when suddenlya little box appeared on the bottom right corner of his screen.

Slytherinrawks16 has signed on

His eyes lit up. Had she just left to go to her room?

He shrugged, and began typing to her

PermafrostSerpant27 says : Hey Pansy...How are you?

He waited for her answer biting his lip. Was she ok?

Slytherinrawks16 says: Hey Ralf...not good...

He froze. He decided to ask her what was wrong.

Permafrostserpent27 says: Why what's up?

Slytherinerwaks16 says: Oh it's nothing really...

Permafrostserpent27 says: Come on...tell me It'll help I promise

Slytherinerwaks16 says: Well...I'm thinking about my ex a lot...

Draco stared at the words, a shocked expression on his face...

Permafrostserpent27 says: Why is that, Poppett?

Slytherinerwaks16 says:...Well I don't know...that's the problem...but I suppose it has to do a lot with this one girl he's been hanging out with a lot...She's a stupid Gryffindor...

Permafrostserpent27 says: Oh I hate Gryffindors...the whole lot of them should be shot...

The minute Draco sent that, his eyes grew wide. Oh shit!

Shit shit shit he thought Now she's going to know I'm from Hogwarts! Dammit!

Slytherinerwaks16 says: What do you mean, you hate Gryffindors? You don't even know who Gryffindors are...

He didn't answer just yet...

Slytherinrawks16 says: Oh. My. Bloody...YOU'RE from Hogwarts! I KNEW IT!

He gulped...

Slytherinrawks16 says: Answer me, you! Are you or are you not from Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry?

He sighed, and began typing

Permafrostserpent27says: ...you caught me...

Slytherinrawks16 says: I KNEW IT! Who are you? I don't know you! Of course our school is huge, so I probably wouldn't , would I?

Permafrostserpent27 says: ...I'm not telling you...

Slytherinrawks16 says: What? Why?...At least tell me what house you're in...

Permafrostserpent27 says: Nope...I'm not telling you... No specifics...My lips are sealed...

Draco knew he couldn't give her specifics...

Slytherinrawks16 says: Awwww...no fun...so Ralf...if that IS your real name, that is...how old are you?

Permafrostserpent27 says: lol...actually, Ralf isn't my real name, and I'm not telling you my age either

Slytherinrawks16 says: What? What is your name then?

Permafrostserpent27 says: I'm not telling you yet!

Slytherinrawks16 says: Why NOT?

Draco smirked. This was fun, even if it was a bit rude.

Permafrostserpent27 says: I'll tell you, when I feel I know you well enough...

Slytherinrawks16 says: But you DO! please tell me, Ralf...

Permafrostserpent27 says: Nope...now is not the right time...

Slytherinrawks16 says: When will it BE the right time?

Permafrostserpent27 says:...soon...you'll find out, soon... I promise

Slytherinrawks16 says:...fine...

Permafrostserpent27 says: So tell me what's been going on lately?

Slytherinrawks16 says: well for all I know, you could be stalking me, so you'd already know..

Permafrostserpent27 says: Hey! I am NOT a stalker...grins

Slytherinrawks16 says: Sure grins back...not a lot...I've been asking my fortune ball a bunch of questions about why I've been so sad , and the only thing it's been giving me is

"You never know what time can bring, The answer could be right around the corner...if you don't believe me, believe your heart, You'll find your knight in Shining Armor..."

...what does THAT mean?

Draco bit his lip. His dorm was right around the corner from hers... That ball was coming in handy, but it wasn't making it any easier for him to keep this a secret was it?

Permafrostserpent27 says: I'm not sure...Maybe it means, that whatever your thinking about...well, you should go for it...

He swallowed, not sure if he wanted to ask his next question...

Permafrostserpant27 says: Are you going to the Yule Ball?

Slytherinrawks16 says: Nope...

Permafrostserpent27 says: What? Why not?

Slytherinrawks16 says: I see no point in going...

Permafrostserpent27 says: that's not a good enough answer...why aren't you going?

Slytherinrawks16 says: I don't have a dress...there, happy?

Permafrostserpent27 says: Well, get one silly.

Slytherinrawks16 says: Well, are you going?

Draco began to sweat. Please don't let her ask it he thought.

Permafrostserpent27 says: I don't know...

Slytherinrawks16 says: Why don't you know...

Permafrostserpent27 says: I just don't know...

Slytherinrawks16 says: Well why?

Permafrostserpent27 says:...I have to go...

Slytherinrawks16 says: Wait, Ralf... are you going to the Yule Ball!

Permafrostserpent27 says: Yes! I am...bye...

He closed his laptop and pulled the cord, not even waiting for her to respond. Great! now what was he going to do? She KNEW he went to Hogwarts, she KNEW He was going to the Yule Ball...

Then, at that very moment in time, an idea clicked inside his head. It would be a long time before the Ball and he made a decision right then and there... He was going to ask her to the Ball, as Ralf...

...but he would do more then that...

He put on his cloak and hat. It was the afternoon, a good time to go to Hogsmead...And that's just where Draco was headed.

Pansy awoke the next morning, feeling a bit nautious. Why was 'Ralf' being so awkward?

She yawned and got up, stretching herself out. She opened the door to the bathroom, stepping into the shower. She turned the water on, letting it spray over her tired body. The cool water felt good against her hot skin. She sighed.

She couldn't stop thinking about Draco. Why was that? It was over, wasn't it? She had broken it off. He wasn't hers anymore...He belonged to that Gryffindor slag, Hermione Granger. So why did she care?

The truth was that she still had feelings for him. She still wanted to be with him, but she wasn't about to admit that to him. No, she was stronger then that. It would only make him smirk and say something like 'oh, so now you want me back, do you?'. She knew it...

That's why she wasn't about to admit that she still had feelings for him.

She left the shower, tears streaming down her face. She dried off and changed into her clothes, not caring that her hair was wet. Wiping a few tears away from her eyes, she opened the door, heading out to the common room. but something tripped her on her way out. She stumbled over whatever it was, and looked down.

She saw that it had been a fairly large box that had tripped her. It was addressed to her, so she picked it up, raising an eyebrow. She carried it back into her dorm, wondering what it was.

But as she opened it, her eyes grew wide...

It was a dress... Light green, strapless, and flowy...It had a lacy designe at the very top, and a ruffle effect along the bottom. Her mouth fell open. She looked it over in shock, pulling it out of the box so she could get a really good look at it, when a note fell out of it's ruffles. She picked it up and unfolded it, reading it in her head. A smile spread across her face, as she knew who it was from the minute she'd read the words.

...Please come...
