A/N: The Dance! Many POV's try to keep up with me!
Disclaimer: Oh get real. Characters are not mine (except Bella)
XOXO
Ginny's POVGinny entered the Great Hall and gasped, the inside looked like a graveyard, mossy plants, gray in color, covered the ground, tombstones with funny messages surrounded. It was amazing. Dinning tables were made of stone and set up around the room, leaving a dance floor. Ginny looked to see Hermione looking just as impressed, Isabella was smiling looking happy.
"Wow this looks amazing," Ginny managed at last. The other two agreed.
"Hello stranger it seems like forever since we last met," the three turned around to see Fred and George standing there. Fred smiled and held his hand out to Hermione who placed her own in his. "Oh and you are?"
"Isabella Malfoy, nice to meet you," George looked skeptically at her, both seemed a little uncomfortable around a Malfoy, "I'm Draco's cousin."
"Oh nice to meet you too I'm George and this is Fred," George talked as if he wasn't sure if he should be pleased to meet her. Fred saluted her.
"Isabella's a very good friend of mine," Ginny wanted them to stop acting like she was a female version of Draco.
"There you guys are…" Harry trailed off. He was shocked, Bella looked amazing and nothing like he expected her to look like, "you look amazing." Bella blushed in response. Harry was a pirate, the costume consisted of browns blacks, and looked very good especially next to Bellas.
"So who did you invite to the dance? Bet you had a million invitations," Fred teased thinking Harry probably chickened out at the last minute.
"It's not like I didn't, but I'm here with Bella tonight," He turned to her and she smiled, "shall we go find Ron and Lavender?"
"We'll go too," Fred chimed in. They all left Ginny alone. After making sure they were gone she scanned the room looking for a gold rose, or silver at this time of night. Where is he? Oh! Ginny spotted it and pushed her way through the crowd. Reaching her hand out she pulled his cape lightly. He turned his head.
"Here you go," he placed the flower in her hair, it looked stunning. Ginny blushed.
"Won't you show me your face? It won't be any fun if you don't, it'll be like spending the night dancing with a stranger. Please…" Ginny trailed of as he lifted the mask and hat. She gasped!
"Surprised?" Draco asked smiling at her uncertainly.
"You mean it's been you all along?" Ginny was shocked, "why didn't you tell me? I've…I've." Ginny trailed off at a loss of words. I can't tell him how I feel!
"You've what? I didn't know how to tell you so I came up with this little plan. I really like you Ginny, as more than just a friend." Draco looked uncomfortable, but looked her straight in the eye.
"I like you that way too," Ginny looked into his eyes and started to laugh, Draco gave her a confused look. In gasps Ginny told him why she was laughing. "It's just all along I've thought there was no way it could be you…I was planning on dumping you because I wanted to be with you and I couldn't lie to you. Do you understand?"
"Not at all," Draco laughed.
"Let's join the others," Ginny spotted them and headed over. When they were near the table Hermione looked surprised, Ron angry, Fred and George shocked, Lavender desperate for more, Harry looked half surprised half not.
"I-is it true!" Ron yelled. Ginny looked confused, had Isabella known all along and decided to give them a heads up. She was still holding onto Draco's hand. "It is."
"Ron calm down," Hermione looked at Ginny and Draco, "Isabella thought it best to warn us."
"I'm sorry Draco, I know I went against my promise to you, but they would have killed you if they hadn't known," She sounded and looked truly sorry.
"Whatever," Draco rolled his eyes, "want to dance?" Ginny nodded happy to leave them. She and Draco danced through the first song (a slow one). Ginny looked over and saw Isabella looking positively bored, Harry was talking with Ron and Lavender, ignoring her.
"So she went with Potter. Looks like she's regretting that decision." Draco commented looking over.
"Ya Harry doesn't like to dance, I am assuming Bella does," Ginny responded. Draco nodded. After that they fell into a comfortable silence and danced together.
XOXO
Isabella's POVSomeone kill me or at least save me this is torture! It's like he doesn't realize I'm sitting here dying slowly. Isabella sighed and took a sip of water.
"Hope you don't mind if I borrow your date Harry," George noticed how miserable she was.
"Nope I don't mind," Harry responded. What the hell! Isabella was beginning to anger. A hand appeared in front of her.
"A dance?" George asked his eyes smiling. Isabella nodded and placed her hand in his. He led her out to the dance floor. She danced with him until it was time for everyone to eat. Harry didn't even try to cut in, he really is a lousy date. I'll have to thank Weasley for saving me. Once back at the table she sat between George and Harry. She talked with George about quidditch, family, some of his well-known pranks, her own mischievous doings, and the shop he owned with Fred. She laughed at his jokes and enjoyed herself. Ginny and Draco were getting along perfectly she noticed. Hermione and Fred seemed to be enjoying their reunion. Ron was to busy glaring at Ginny and Draco to notice his date.
"Ah Ms. Malfoy I do hope you have saved a dance for me?" Dumbledore came up after everyone had finished eating his eyes twinkled.
"Oh I'd love to Professor," She giggled. He was like a grandfather asking his granddaughter to dance. They danced for one song then George asked to if he could take over. It was nearing the end of this perfect night. Well almost perfect night.
"Um hey Harry no offense but this isn't going to work out let's just stay friends, okay?" Isabella had to ask, she was falling for George and Harry was by far the worst date a girl could ask for.
"Agreed," Harry held out his hand and she shook it smiling.
"Want to go for a walk with me? I need some fresh air," Isabella asked George, she didn't want this night to end yet. To her delight he nodded holding out his arm, she linked arms with him and they left to go outside.
XOXO
Draco's POV"Well there's just one thing left before I let you go," Draco smiled.
"What are you talking about?" Ginny was obviously confused. Draco leaned in and kissed her. It was the perfect end to the night. When he stepped back Ginny blushed.
"That," He smirked at her shocked look, "I'll walk you back to your common room." The tension that had been between them just a few days before had finally vanished. They walked in comfortable silence holding hands. I couldn't have predicted this to go any better. They parted at the Gryffindor common room kissing just before she entered. Draco smiled and turned to go to his own. He stared Isabella had her arms around someone.
"Draco look she's here!" She squealed excitedly, he turned to see his Aunt Kana there.
"Hello Draco as promised I came," She had an elegant soft voice that was smooth.
"It's not like I doubted you would," Draco responded. She frowned at his tone but chose to ignore it.
"Your father was killed by Voldemort," Kana stated simply. She makes it sound like that's nothing big. Draco shrugged knowing he'd be better off without his father, "your mother too. The mansion was sold, but all of the money has been left to you."
"I see. Wait in your letter you said only father had died," Draco's eyes narrowed.
"Well yes, your mother died after I sent that," Kana looked down guiltily. Draco turned and headed for the Slytherin Common room.
"You coming?" He asked Bella not turning around.
"No, I'll come later. Get some sleep, ok?" She sounded worried. Draco nodded and left the two to giggle and catch up.
XOXO
