"It feels so good to be back and eating the best food in the world" I said as I took a bite of the roasted chicken that was right on my plate.
No one could blame for eating so much. Everyone had watched as I had walked in.
"So, you never told me who won the match?" I said and sat next to Hermione.
"Gryffindor" She answered. That explained why Draco had avoided the subject.
"Did you hear what else happened? Well its actually a rumor thats going around but theyre saying that there was this big fight between your father and Oliver after you fell because your father didnt want Oliver to carry you and then he was accusing him for your accident. Theyre saying it was ugly"
"Cant I have a day of peace?" I asked and drank from my juice.
"Sorry a day is too much to ask for" Stacie joked.
"Can I see what you bought at Hogsmade?" They nodded.
"Oh, great, we're getting to the all girl part of the dance" Ron said and rolled his eyes.
"I agree, lets go before they decide to test make up on us" They stood and began walking away.
"Ok, lets go then"
They helped me up and followed me. My body was still soar so they had to help me carry myself.
"This is great"
It was a great out fit. It wasnt the devil I had wanted because there hadnt been any so instead I ended up seeing a princess like dress. How original! But it didnt matter because the white dress was absolutely stunning. And we got this mask so its sort of a masquerade sort of thing
"That sounds nice, what did you get?"
"I got a witch costume and Hermione got an angel costume"
"Fits her right" I said and patted her on the back.
"Im kind of happy that I only have 3 days of classes and then dance!"
"Yeah maybe I should join the quidditch team"Stacie joked.
"With Oliver as your coach, no way" They laughed.
"I heard hes going as prince charming" Stacie joked.
"He is prince charming" Hermione pointed out.
"True but this time hes dressing the part"
I smiled, imagining him in a prince costume. Now, that would make him look absolutely handsome, well he already is but maybe even more handsome, although I doubted that was possible.
"Did I mention that your father gave me all the homework and the work you have to make up, and Its not looking pretty?" I shook my head.
"I should get to it"I said. Im pretty smart. Im not bragging but I used to read books about anything even thought they are pretty boring.
"Actually I did some of it for you, most of it" I couldnt help but hug Hermione.
"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you" She waved her hand in dismissal.
"No problem ,it was quite easy"
That I believed since Hermiones the smartest person I know, apart from my grandfather, that is.
"Well then I need to get some sleep" I said and stood up.
"Youve slept for like 3 days in a row, dont you think we should do something?"
"Its almost 10 pm, Stacie, what do you suggest we do?"She shrugged.
I" dont know, lets go and spy on Dumbledore"
"Thats not very mature," I said and sat back down.
"Well then on your father?"
"NO"
"Fine then" She replied.
"Ok, then good night girls" I said and started to walk out when suddenly Ron came in.
"You guys need to come and hear this, your father and Oliver are arguing" I stood up then, the pain gone and ran out.
"Wait for us" Hermione and Stacie yelled but I ran along with Ron, I wanted to hear what they were fighting about.

We arrived at the door where I could hear the faint voices of both Oliver and my father. Harry was leaning against the door listening when we arrived.
"What...are...they saying" I said trying to catch my breath.
"Your father is telling him to stay away from you"I sighed and put my ear against the door.
"I dont know what it is that you mean by that, Severus" Oliver sounded so much older it was weird.
"Ive seen the way you look at my daughter,-"
"Im done arguing" Oliver said and I heard his footsteps coming closer but I didnt move.
"Alexia is going to marry Draco and thats final" My father said.
"Thats not what she wants, maybe you should learn to talk to your daughter instead of being a bitter man, learn how to be a father" Oliver said and his steps got closer.
"Ally-"Stacie whispered, I turned to look at her and waved her off.
"Ill be fine, Im going to stay here, you go, I dont want you to get in trouble" I whispered back. She hesitated.
"Go" I repeated she squeezed my arm and disappeared. I heard the door open and stood back. Oliver stepped out, I could see the anger in his face. He looked at me a bit surprised. I put my finger to my lips so that he wouldnt say anything. He looked back at my father and closed the door. Then he walked away, away from me! I couldnt believe it. He was walking away after hed kissed me and told me he loved me, although he didnt know I had heard but still it made me angry that he was acting like he didnt feel anything. It hurt.
"Oliver"I whispered. He stopped and turned around slowly.
"Oliver-"
"No, Ally, no" I didnt even say anything else, I wanted to cry and punch him at the same time, what did he mean, no?
And then just like that my sadness turned to anger.
"I hate you" I said,
I know it sounded pretty childish but I couldnt help it. I said it with anger and tears and stood there waiting for him to do something but he didnt he just turned and walked away. So I ran, I ran back into the common room with tears pouring down my eyes

"Ally, whats wrong?"
I sat near the window of the dormitory and watched as the sun went down. The dance would be the next afternoon and I didnt feel like going.
"Nothing" I replied knowing she was going to push it until I told her the truth.
"Oh, ok" She said and sat next to me.
"Are you mad about having to go with Draco to the dance?" I shook my head,
it didnt matter anymore. I didnt care I just wanted to sit there and cry by myselft.
"Then why are you so quiet?"
"Its just that..." And then I told her everything, she wasnt really surprised when I told her that Oliver had kissed me and confessed everything while I was unconscious. She just nodded her head a couple of time and listened.
"And I...I dont know what to do. It hurt so much to hear him tell me that stuff" I sniffed and cleaned my tears.
"Maybe you should tell him how you feel, I mean, what was that all about, you telling him that maybe he got the wrong idea? You messed up there, but I think he knows you that you feel the same way and he doesnt want you to get hurt because, look at your dad, hes already getting mad, and hes older than you, not that it matters, but your father wants you to marry Draco, whos an ass by the way, and I dont know what your grandfather is going to say about it, what if he doesnt agree with you? Youll never see Oliver again" She wasnt helping.
"But I want to help you, and I know this isnt going to be what you wanted to hear, but Im your best friend, youre like my sister and I think that, that you should stay away from Oliver, there are too many things keeping you apart, and maybe it just wasnt meant to be"
I took a deep breath and looked out the window. It was dark by now and I could see Olivers offices like on. He was probably sleeping, or was he thinking about me?
"And he has a girlfriend" Stacie pointed out, I think she noticed me looking down at the office. I had completely forgotten about that. What about his girlfriend?
"Thats right" I said and sighed.
"We're too young to worry about this stuff, Ally, just have fun" She said.
I thought about it for a while as we sat in silence watching the night. It was about midnight when I finally changed into my pjs and turned to Stacie.
"You're right, Im just going to have fun"

"Youl..look...SO PRETTY" Hermione exclaimed when she saw me come out of the bathroom with the white dress on and the mask to cover my eyes. I had done a really like make up, some blush and pink lipgloss. It made my blue eyes stand out. I pulled my hair up until a very nice hairdo that Stacie did for me. I looked good.
"You guys look good too" They really did, Hermione was probably the most beautiful angel ever and Stacie the sexiest witch in the world.
"Ron, Harry and Draco, are waiting at the bottom of the stairs. I sort of made them and they werent really happy to have to be with Draco so we better hurry up before they start fighting" I laughed just thinking about it.
"Yeah, their mouths are going to drop when they see us"
"I hate to sound like Im bragging but I agree"
Hermione said and pushed her beautiful curls out of the way (Stacie and I had curled her hair).
"I wonder what they look like" Stacie mused.
I was actually really excited to see what Draco looked like. I may not like him but the guy is not bad looking at all.
"Yeah" I said.
"Looks like someone is falling for the Slytherin ass" Stacie said.
"No, Im not, I wish" I said and began walking down.
I was really thinking it wouldve been great for me to have fallen for Draco, I wouldnt even have to be all broken hearted. Or I wouldnt have to be avoiding Oliver by not going to Flying Practice. I hadnt gone for 3 days now. We made our way down the stairs and smiled when we saw that Harry, Ron and Draco all looked hot. Draco was dressed as a hot English dude. Ron was dressed as Romeo and Harry was dressed as a prince. He looked good. Draco smiled and smirked at me.
"You look beautiful" He said and took my hand.
"You always say that, Draco, even when Im wearing the worst clothes ever" He grinned.
"Thats because you do"
"Thanks" I said and we walked hand in hand, well I had white gloves but you get the point.
When we arrived at the Great Hall everything was great. There were decorated pumpkins floating in the air, ghosts dancing. All the kids 4-7 years actually were dancing with all kinds of costumes. There was a table full of food just for Ron, just kidding for everyone. And then there was the teachers table. My grandfather was dressed the same actually most of them, except for McGonagall who was I guess supposed to be some sort of dead lady and Oliver, who, yes, was dressed as a prince. He looked so good, even better than I had imagined that I couldnt take my eyes off him. We made contact as I entered and I saw his lips part a little. I didnt know then that this night was a night I would remember...
