Draco entered the great hall with Moira holding onto his arm. He smirked when he saw the people staring at them and murmuring things to each other. He winked at Moira, led her to a table, and pulled up a chair for her.
Moira blushed and sat down next to Draco. "Would you like a butter beer?" he asked. "Sure," Moira smiled. Draco walked to the refreshments table and got Moira and himself a glass of butter beer.
He retuned to the table and sat next to her. He handed her the butter beer. "Here you go," he said. "Thanks," Moira smiled and sipped her butter beer. Just then, the slow and romantic music started and students began to occupy the dance floor. Draco looked at Moira and held out his hand. "Would you like to dance with me?"
Moira smiled and blushed. "I'd love to," she replied and placed her hand on his. Draco led her to the middle of the dance floor and placed his hands on her hips while her hands are on his shoulders. Draco is staring in her beautiful eyes deeply. Moira is doing the same. Draco began to lean in to kiss her but she pulled away when someone called her. "Damn it," he muttered. "What?" Moira asked. "Nothing," Draco smiled and continued dancing with her.
Draco and Moira danced for about an hour, not noticing how long they were dancing in there. They were just talking with their eyes and smiling. Then, Professor McGonagall cleared her throat to announce something. "Good evening students," she started. "I'm going to announce the Welcoming Ball King and Queen of the night." She took the ballot box and picked up two papers using her wand. She opened the rolled papers and said, "Congratulations to our Welcoming Ball King and Queen, Ms. Moira Rivers and Mr. Draco Malfoy!"
Moira's eyes grew wide and felt her face getting hot. "That's us, Moira!" Draco said and pulled her to the stage. Professor McGonagall put crowns on their heads and gave them certificates. Draco grinned and suddenly pulled her into a kiss. Moira pulled away and walked out of the great hall.
"Moira!" Draco called, running after her. "Get away from me, Draco!" she said, running faster. Draco caught up with her and grabbed her arm. "Moira, don't be mad." He said pleadingly. Moira glared at him and brushed off his hand. "I can't believe you would ever do that." She said and ran up to the common room and to her room.
The next day, Moira did not speak to Draco during breakfast at great hall even when they patrolled during the afternoon. Millicent Bulstrode had asked her like five times if she and Draco are really going out because Draco told almost everyone. Moira had asked Blaise if it is true, he said it is true and that he told them the night before the ball. Moira is furious because Draco is taking advantage of her. She hates guys who take advantage and of all people, it was Draco who took advantage of her. The guy she is almost falling for is doing this to her.
Moira just went out of the girls' comfort room when someone grabbed her and pulled her in a broom closet. She recognized who it was when she turned on the light. It was Draco. Moira rolled her eyes and turned to leave. "Wait, Moira please talk to me," he pleaded. "I don't need your explanations," Moira said and walked out of the closet and ran up to her room.
Draco was just standing there, stunned. He had to figure out a way to be friends with her again. Yes, he had been an asshole but he could still prove to her that he loves her with all his heart. It was just a mistake; a bottle of fire whiskey changed everything for him. He swore he'd never drink again.
Later that night, Moira is sitting up on her bed, reading a book about the Dark Arts when an owl flew in and dropped a letter on her side table. Moira picked it up and it read:
Dear Moira,
I am sorry for acting the way I did last night. Please meet me outside; I really need to talk to you. Please.
Love,
Draco
Moira got up, put on her robe, headed outside, and found Draco sitting on a chaise lounge. "Just tell me what you want, Malfoy," Moira said coldly. Draco stood up. "Look, I know I am an asshole and it was a big stupid mistake," he started. "But please, give me another chance to prove to you that I love you,"
Moira was dumbfounded. He just told her that he has feelings for her. "Wh-what did you say?" she asked. "I love you, Moira," Draco said and went down on both knees. "Please give me another chance, I promise to be good,"
"Okay," Moira said. She was speechless. There was sincerity in his eyes. She knew he meant the words he said. "Thanks," Draco said, hugging her tightly. "I was afraid you wouldn't talk to me again,"
Moira smiled. "I guess I'll go back to my room, good night, Draco," Moira said and went back to her room. Once again, both of them are in good moods. Draco began jumping up and down for joy. Moira hugged herself and smiled widely. This must be love….
