Chapter 28: The Ball

Dragon and Chastity waited three hours at Grimmauld Place before Chastity became restless. "Go get ready for the ball, go on, when you're done,I'll make my own damn portkey and we'll go to Hogwarts. I'm sick of waiting for people who are sitting around worrying about us. If you need help call down okay? I'm going to go out into the garden, you'll need to give Melissa flowers." Chastity walked outside, while Dragon went to take a shower and get ready. After about an hour, Dragon came back down.

"Aunt Chastity, I can't get this stupid bow tie." Dragon said, his eyes starting to tear up. "I can't go to the fall ball if my tie dosen't tie! Melissa will never dance with me."

"Oh come here, and when did you start calling me aunt Chastity?" Chastity asked, tieing his bow tie for him.

"It came to me in the shower, your father's cousin so that makes you my second cousin, which means your family, and all family I'm suppose to call aunt or uncle."

"Well, I give you permission to drop the aunt okay? There ya go." Chastity said, standing back and taking in Dragon's apperance. "Wow, you're all grown up! Here, when you get there, your to put this on Melissa's wrist. Come here, this flower goes onto your robe." Chastity said, pinning a small rose on Dragon's robe. "Let's get you to that dance eh?" With that, Chastity tranfigured one of Sirius' family heirlooms into a portkey.

"Go on! You'll be late if you don't. I have a meeting set up and then I'll be right there okay?" Chastity said, ushering Dragon out of her office. "Now for you guys." Chastity said, opening a hidden door.

"Melissa, are you ready yet?" Dragon called up the girls staircase.

"You're back? How did you get back so quickly? Oh merlin this is so great." Melissa said, running down the stairs in sweatpants and a t-shirt.

"Your not ready?" Dragon asked, confused.

"I wasn't going to go if I couldn't go with you. Remus came back and explained what happened, I was worried they'd figure it out, and something was going to happen to you." Melissa rambled, wrapping her arms around her waist. Dragon noticed this sign of insecuirty and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her forehead.

"Go get dressed." Dragon whispered, squeezing Melissa's hand in reassurance. Melissa smiled, kissed Dragon and ran upstairs. About 30 minutes later, Melissa came back downstairs, once Dragon saw her he lost his breath. " Y-you look...Breath taking." Dragon barely got out.

"As do you, thank Melrin for magic eh? Come on, let's go before we are any later." Dragon took the flower out of the box and placed it on Melissa's wrist, before giving her the boquet of flowers. He offered her his arm and escorted her to the dance. Once inside, both thier jaws dropped, the decorations were amazing. They had transfigured stars along with the candles to float in the cair. A few bubble machines sent bubbles all over the place, on each table was a small punch fountain, and there was a stage where a live band was playing.

"Dragon, I thought we told you to stay where you were." Draco said, anger edging into his voice.

"Well, Chastity thought otherwise. Look, stuff happened that you don't know about, and I'm not willing to share right now. Chastity thought I needed a break, so we portkeyed to her office." Dragon explained, turning around to face Draco.

"He's right Drake, come on let's leave those two alone." Chastity came up behind Draco and led him away.

"Would you like to dance?" Dragon asked, holding his hand out to Melissa.

"Sure. Do you know who the singer of this band is? I don't even recognize the band." Melissa said, looking up towards the stage.

"Maybe they're friends with one of the teachers." Dragon said, placing his hands on either side of Melissa's hips.

"This one goes out to a special couple, who has recently been having a few problems. I just hope that hey don't mind that I completed their song." The singer said, motioning to his hand to start. "The dawn is breaking, a light shining through. You're barely waking and I'm tangled up in you. Yeah." Once the singer said the first line, Dragon froze his eyes going huge. "I'm open, you're closed. Where I follow, you'll go, I worry I won't see your face light up again."

"Dragon...Dragon?" Melissa asked for the fifth time, shaking Dragon's arm.

"Even the best fall down sometimes, even the wrong words seem to rhyme. Out of the doubt that fills my mind, I somehow find, you and I collide. I'm quiet you know, you make a first impression. I've sound I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind."

"Dragon, how did he-" Daniel began to ask, bringing Dragon out of his shock.

"I don't know, Julie and yourself are the only ones who've heard it. That's as far as the song goes though, it hasn't been finished yet." Dragon said, turning towards Daniel.

"Even the best fall down sometimes, Even the stars refuse to find, out of the back you fall in time. I somehow find you and I collide. Don't stop here, I lost my place, I'm close behind." The band started to play the instrumental. 'How did he finish this song with those words? How did he know I went off my track earlier this year?' Dragons thought before his eyes caught hold of Chastity smiling at him.

"Chastity?" Dragon whispered.

"What about her?" Melissa asked, turning to see Chastiy.

"Nothing, come on let's finish dancing." Dragon said, shaking his head. Though Melissa was confused, she agreed anyways.

"Even the best fall down sometimes, Even the wrong words seem to ryhme. Out of the doubt that fills your mind, you finally find, you and I collide. You finally find, you and I collide."

"Dragon what's wrong?" Melissa asked, noticing his eyse getting watery.

"Nothing." Dragon said smiling, before leaning down and kissing her.

"You finally find, you and I collide." The singer finished the song, the band playing the last few notes. "That song was written by a student here at Hogwarts, Dragon Potter-Malfoy." Howie Day, the singer, said giving credit where credit was due, before walking off the stage.

"You wrote that?" Melissa asked shocked.

"Only some of it, I never got to finish the song." Dragon answered, finding his shoes very interesing.

"Whose it about? I believe the lyrics said you and I, it means it was you and someone else."

"Look, I better get going, I have a paper to write and I have to go check on Alyssa." Dragon said, leaving the ball very quickly. Daniel came up behind Melissa, wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

"He'll tell you..Evenutally, he'll tell you." Daniel whispered, giving her a hug and going back to his date.

A/N: I know I know, I'm a bad author! I should have updated sooner, but trust me when I say I've been really really busy with school, work, and keeping my own Harry and Draco from kicking someone's sorry arse! Even if I think he deserves to die, be brought back to life, tortured horribly, then killed again. Anyways, Dragon's currently on vacation in Louisiana, helping my cousin Susanne's inlaws who lived in a city that is currently underwater and according to officials anyone who tried to stay during the storm in this part died, there was no way for anyone to have survived the impact of the storm when it hit whereever it is that her inlaws live, I believe it's spelt Slidell. Anyways, a few things had also been brought to my attention, the smallest one being Tenshi Chibi it means I think my angel, truthfully go email Trio Spade if you really want to know what it means, cause I think I might have gotten it wrong, secondly this came straight from Danny and Andrew and I'm surprised more of you didn't email me about it, trying to cut off my head, Remus was pregnant a few chapters back, and I completely forgot about it! I know, how horrible am I? So, you have them to thank in upcoming chapters for the reveal of the baby and the baby's actual father, since Remi is it's dad. Anyways, on with the reviews.

Sarahamanda: Hey, I glad you enjoyed the last chapter.

Bitcake: Hey, I loved the squeal! lol yes everything is all hugs and puppies so far...but well, you know how I am. Sirius: mocks At least I was in a larger portion of this chapter then you. What are you four? You're worse then Melissa! oooh I'm so scared now that I'm a turdface, mudblood! James and Kime: Snog Heavily Thanks so much bitcake, you're a doll. Snape: No you may not call me sev, only a select few can call me Sev, and unless you're name is Dragon, Draco, Alyssa, Michael or Elizabeth then you are not on the list. Me snog you, that's laughable, that's riddiculus! That would be like me kissing Harry at random moments of the day walks up and snogs Harry I'd never do it! Kime: stops Snogging James for a minute I live about an hour away from Orlando and 30 minutes away from Daytona Beach.

Heather: Well, I can offically tell you that I absolutely HATE college guys! I HATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM, and I'll tell you why. I made my first college friend that was a guy a few days ago, we hung out, I went to his house to watch movies, he tried to hit me a few times, and then he tried to rape me, there fore I have come to the conclusion that I hate college guys, well with the exception of Danny who is my 'mum' so I can't really hate him now can I?

Orlin: I thought it was obvious, the person watching Alyssa left the room, nothing evil or plotting about it, obviously if he wanted to take Alyssa he would have done it. He probably had a detention, or went to the library, or something like that.
