Kiyoko's POV

Things between Draco and me haven't calmed down a bit. I am still ticked at him and I can't forgive him. I knew that he didn't mean to. I wrote back to Sera, I can't believe she won't listen to me.

Sera,

Please, why won't you listen? Do you not care anymore? Draco did something that he never should do. Something that hurt me so much. I need someone to talk to, please. I don't know what to do, what if I get- you know. I can't handle school and that. I just need to talk with you, I feel like I have lost you as a friend. I don't want to lose my one true friend. I know I complain about guys a lot but this is a serious thing.

Scared,

Kiyoko Lupin

I signed the parchment and almost forgot to remind Sera of the dance. So I quickly added that she should come to the masquerade ball this Friday (it being Tuesday). I sent the letter off with my owl and started designing my gown for the ball. I was so excited to go. I hoped to meet some one who I knew wouldn't hurt me like Draco. As I drew the picture in my mind, a letter came in, but not from Sera's hawk. I saw my name etched on the front of the envelope in a familiar handwriting.

"Draco" I said aloud. I almost lit the thing on fire, but I thought that just maybe he had realized what he had done. I opened the letter.

Kiyoko Emelina Lupin,

I am sorry for what I did. Please understand that I never wanted to hurt you. I just- no there is no excuse for what I did to you. If you can ever forgive me, meet me at the Lake tonight around six.

Love,

Draco Malfoy

I looked at the time it was 5:30. Jeez took him long enough to send it. I guess I can talk to him tonight. I quickly flicked my wand so I looked decent, and flew to the lake. I sat there lying looking at the stars. They were beautiful tonight, not a cloud in the sky. It was a little chilly. I must have fallen asleep because when I next looked around it was darker and Draco was there. I jumped up and apologized.

"Kiyoko, no need to apologize. I am the one that should be apologizing. I want to prove to you that I am not the kind of person I acted like at the party." He leaned in and kissed me affectionately.

"I don't know what to say… Are you going to the ball?"

"Yes. Are you?"

"Of course! I love dancing"

"I will find you," he said and then he disappeared.

I went back to the common room to find that Sera had written me back.

Kiyoko,

Will the constant pestering me over a guy stop if I see you about this, this thing? Fine I'll talk with you so met me in detention room if you please at 7 no later I will not wait. Also inform me more of this ball, not like I'll be attending though. I would still like to know.

Signed

Serafina M. Snape

I quickly ran off to the detention hall to meet Sera.

"Sera."

"Kiyo" she sounded really pissed off.

I explained about what had happened at the party. I then told her of the ball.

"I might go," she said a little less ticked off.

"I promise that I won't pester you about what happened its just I needed to tell some one and you're the only person that I really trust any more."

"Alright." She said and entered the detention hall. I went back to my room and waited for the next few days to pass.

Wednesday and Thursday were boring, nothing exciting happened except that I got my gown for the ball.

Friday-

This was probably the most magical day in my life. No pun intended!

My gown was gorgeous, the front was a bunch of angled layers and the back was just straight layers. A ribbon in the back held it on. It was a blue and silver dress with sparkles all over. My mask covered my eyes alone, but had feathers coming from the top of it. To make sure that no one really knew who I was, I made my hair wavy and turned it to a dark brown! I was really excited for tonight. I hoped that I would see Sera at the end.

Draco told me to meet him at the lake just before the ball so that we would be able to go together. I went to the lake one hour before the ball, and waited for Draco. We went to dinner… he was dressed in a suit that was green and black… it had a dark green tie… His mask was a black eye cover, it had little slits so he could see.

"I love your dress Kiyo." He said, but he sounded different.

"Thanks Draco, you look wonderful too." I guess the school has placed a curse so that we couldn't sound like ourselves either… I wonder if they wanted us to go insane.

The Great Hall- Seven in the Evening.

The whole school was there, even the teacher. I couldn't believe how well this was looking. Food was every where and the Weird Sisters were playing music. I danced with Draco and next to us was another couple, I wondered if they had met up before the dance too. The girl had a lace up dress and she had beautiful hair. The boy was in a suit, like pretty much every one else. They looked too happy. Every one look so happy. We danced for hours, we had dinner and danced some more. It was almost one in the morning when there was an announcement from the Weird Sisters-

"It's now almost one in the morning Hogwarts. You know what that means"

A blast of music and then, "ONE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING REMOVE YOUR-"

The couple from before was kissing, "MASK NOW"

Every one took off their masks, Draco and I hugged and then kissed. I had missed him so much. Just then I heard a scream and I turned. Sera had run off blushing, she was kissing Harry, guess that they didn't go together it just happened.
