Chapter 22: The Masquerade Ball
Sunday morning, Dragon and Mat woke up wrapped in each other's arms. "Drag, can you do me a favor? Can you watch Tiger today? It's going to take all day to get ready for the Masquerade Ball, and I don't want you to know what it is."
"Okay, but can't I have a little clue?"
"Of course...not." Mat said, running towards the shower.
"Please. Pretty Please." Dragon asked, running after him.
"No." Mat smiled, knowing exactly what was about to happen. Once in the shower, Dragon kissed Mat, carefully walking Mat backwards until he was pressed up against the wall.
"Will you tell me now?"
"Tell you what? I think my memory is going, I swear I haven't a clue what you're talking about." Dragon growled a bit before kissing Mat again, this time letting his hands travel down Mat's chest, before kissing his way down Mat's chest and abs.
"What about now?"
"What about now what?" Dragon started teasing Mat, his breath barely ghosting over Mat's hard member, before taking him in his mouth. Once Mat climaxed, Dragon pulled back.
"You're still not getting it out of me, no matter how great you are at that. I owe you one though." Mat smiled, before kissing Dragon and finishing his shower.
"You're evil." Dragon complained, finishing his shower alone. Mat just smiled before leaving to get dressed.

"Chastity, I'm here." Mat called out to the Infirmary.
"I'll be right with you, we have a little problem over here. Two students decided they would try to get close to the Whomping Willow." Chastity said, giving one of the students Skelo-grow and a Dreamless Sleep Potion. "I think I know why we run out of this more then any other potion. We give it to people for everything." Chastity said, walking over to Mat and ushering him into her office. "Are you sure you want to go like this? You can back out now and we can do something sexy without being so revealing."
"No, I want to do this. Please, come on it'll be fun." Mat said excited.
"Okay Okay, sit. Let's get your hair done first since that takes the longest. So you wanted to highlight your beautiful brown hair with what colors?" Chastity asked, pulling out her multi-colored highlighting kit. It could create any color a person would want.
"The tips dark red. I'm spiking my hair." Mat said, sitting down in one of the chairs. Chastity mixed a few colors together before doing as Mat asked.
"So sexy bad boy image. Are you trying to impress Dragon?"
"No! I'm just so sick of being good, innocent Mat. I want to be dangerous, rebellious."
"Ah smaller brother syndrome. I understand, John went through the same thing."
"Really?"
"Yeah. He went and got a tattoo."
"That's so wicked."
"Well we can give you a pretend one. One that will disappear in a day, but we'll do that last."
"How did you ever come up with this?" Mat asked, amazed.
"Ten years of dealing with bitching beauty queens, disastrous divas, and spoiled brats. All wanting different things, and having it done their way. Hence why I entered the contests so I could shut the girls up." Chastity said smiling. "While this is setting, I'm going to check on the other Whomping Willow patient."

"So Dragon, what are you going as?" Draco asked, sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee.
"I'm going as a Gringotts Curse Breaker. I got the idea from Uncle Charlie."
"That's a great costume. Want me to help you get ready?"
"I think I'm old enough to change myself thanks, but after that you can add to the costume since you lived with the Weasley's for so long." Dragon said smiling, before retreating to his son's room.
"By the way, how would you know what Charlie Weasley wore. From what I understand he was almost never at the Burrow." Draco asked, raising an eye brow.
"Funny thing, you see back before Cedric-"
"If this ends in I dated Charlie Weasley while under aged, I don't want to hear it." Draco said, biting into his piece of toast.
"The end?" Harry said, going into the nursery.
"Are you kidding? Who the hell haven't you dated?"
"Um, Blaise?"
"You had to question that answer. It was a rhetorical question in the first place." Draco said, shaking his head.

"You like?" Chastity asked, handing Mat a mirror. "Remember, it's not spiked yet, but it'll look something like this." Chastity ran her fingers through his hair, holding it up.
"I love it. What's next?" Mat asked, turning around.
"Well, you need a tan, desperately. Unfortunately, having you lay out in the sun in the middle of October isn't the best of ideas, for one of two reasons. The first being it's freezing out there, the second being there'd be a chance that you burn. However, thanks to muggle and magical technology there's a spell you can perform on yourself in the bathroom cause we don't tan lines. So, go into the bathroom over there, strip down and point your wand at yourself and say Coloratusaum, it means colored dark. Only perform it once or you'll turn orange, which isn't sexy." Chastity waited for Mat to return.
"This is so cool. No one's going to recongize me. How did you get Severus to agree to let me do this?" Mat asked, showing Chastity the top of his tan to make sure he did it right."
"Do you really want to know that answer?"
"On second thought...No." Mat said shaking his head. "Am I going to have to wear make up?"
"Just eyeliner. Go on, go get changed. Make sure you come out with a shirt on though, the girls in the infirmary are starting to stare and gather. I'll take care of them." Chastity waited for Mat to go back into the bathroom to change. "Okay girls, this isn't a peep show. You'll see the finished result tonight at the ball, but for now unless you are seriously injured I suggest you all get working on your own costumes as the ball is in three hours." Chastity said, shooing them out of the Infirmary. "Okay Mat, where did you want that tattoo. I was thinking about a heart with a knife that splits at the top, it punctures the heart so there are two drops of blood coming off of the knife. Very bad boyish. " Mat nodded his head, showing Chastity exactly where he wanted the fake tattoo.

'This is it, there's no turning back. Everyone's in there, Dragon's waiting.' Mat thought over and over to himself.
"I can always fix something before you go in." Chastity said, trying to calm Mat. His outfit was definitely rebellious and sexy.
"No, I can do this. I just got to pull myself together." Mat said, placing the black mask over his eyes, it tied around the back of his head.
"Okay, then. I'll be in there waiting for you." Chastity gave him one last look over before entering the Great Hall.
"Where's Mat?" Draco asked, as Chastity walked up to the group of teachers. The only people to know about Mat's costume were Severus and Chastity.
"He's coming, he's just pulling himself together." Chastity said smiling. "Nice costume Drag."
"Thanks. I'm a Curse Breaker." Dragon said, turning around. He was wearing tight leather pants, dragon hide combat boots, a tight black t-shirt, and a protective arm band. The arm band was to stop the worst of the 'curses' that might hit him. All of a sudden, it seemed like the whole hall gasped. In walked a very tan, shirtless boy that looked like his low hanging leather pants were painted on. He had a tribal band going around his right bicep, and if they were mistaken they saw a hint of a tattoo. Where it was located though they couldn't tell. He wore black boots the top of which were covered by the his flared leather pants. From the cut out eye pieces they could see that he had black eyeliner on his lower lids. Most of the girls almost fainted at the sight of him, and some of the guys almost came in their pants.
"Is that?" Draco asked, his mouth hanging open. The boy walked through the crowd, which parted for him, over towards Dragon. Walking up to Dragon, he grabbed him by the back of the head and kissed him passionately.
"Merlin Mat. You--You're-" Dragon was panting and at a loss for words.
"Hot?"
"Fuck yes." Dragon said, looking him over. "Did you get a tattoo?"
"No Chastity helped, they'll go away by tomorrow."
"They?" Dragon asked, looking Mat up and down.
"Yes they, I'll show you the second one later." Mat said with a wink.
"Chastity...Thank you...So Much...You are a goddess." Dragon said, wrapping his arm around Mat's waist. "You are so fucking sexy." Dragon whispered into Mat's ear.
"Exaclty what I thought when I saw you." Mat said, starting to dance with Dragon. Who still hadn't removed his arms around Mat's waist, while Mat was dancing like he was in a club.
"Yes but I didn't show up with no shirt and pants so low I'd swear if they fell off, the whole school would get a show."
"They're spelled to stay on." Mat said, grinding into Dragon.
"Chastity, you're very talented. How did you get him to look like someone totally different?" Draco asked, turning back to Chastity.
"Easy, but it's top secret information."
"Oh come on, we share almost everything." Harry said smiling.
"Sorry. It's top secret, if I told you, I'd have to kill you."
"Well, that's not fair." Draco pouted.

"Mat, we've got to stop dancing like this." Dragon said, three hours later.
"How come?" Mat asked, pouting.
"Because one,both of us are barely hiding our erections. How your doing it I have no clue, your pants are so tight. Second, if we keep doing this, I'm not going to be able to control myself."
"We're practically married, we have a child, maybe that's what I want you to do." Mat said, standing there. Hetook a breakfrom dancing.
"I don't know what to say Mat." Dragon said, looking torn.
"Say that you'll have sex with me." Mat said desperately.
"I can't." Dragon said, shaking his head. Mat looked like he was about to cry before running from the Great Hall, out the front doors, and into the cold night.
"What happened?" Chastity asked, coming over to Dragon.
"I was trying to be responsible. I've got to go after him." Dragon said, looking at the door.
"Take this just in case." Chastity said, handing him the shrunken coat she had in her pocket, just in case Mat had changed his mind she could transfigure it into a t-shirt. Dragon took the jacket before running after him.
"Mat, Mat wait up." Dragon said, running out the doors. The cold air stung his skin but he didn't care, he saw Mat sitting by the lake his head resting on the folded arms. "Mat please let me explain."
"No, what is it? I'm not a girl so you want have sex with me? Am I not hot enough for you, sexy enough for you, GOOD enough for you? Am I just here for fun, is that it? Am I just some toy to you?" Mat asked hurt. "I thought you loved me, I thought you cared, and I even changed for a night thinking that you'd like me better like this, like you, but still I'm not good enough for you, and it hurts. We're almost engaged and you won't even have sex with me." Dragon stood there stunned.
"Mat, yes I have had sex with girls, but I didn't really enjoy it. Your are extremely hot, incredible sexy, and absoultely perfect for me, and I don't want to hear you say other wise. You never have been and never will be just for fun or a toy. I love you heart, body, and soul, I care for you so much it literally hurts. You shouldn't have to change yourself just to impress me, you impress me by being yourself everyday, which is a hard thing to do. You are always sexy, whether your in painted on leather pants or baggy, torn sweatpants. My friends are so sick of hearing me talk about you, about how much I love you, how much I can't wait to marry you, to have children of my own with you. Yes, we are almost engaged, but I don't want to have sex with you because sex is meaningless, having a good fuck is meaningless. I want to make love to you, I want the day we do have sex together to be memorable for you. I want everything to be perfect, I don't want you to lose your virginity to me the way I did to Kelly. I did that out of hate, out of revenge, and I felt dirty and sick for months afterwards. I took showers seven times a day for four months. I don't want that to happen to you, I don't want you to regret that day. Making love is like your first real kiss. I once heard that for a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. You want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head, so that when your lips finally touch you feel it everywhere. A kiss so hot and so deep you never want to come up for air. You can't cheat your first kiss. Trust me, you don't want to. Cause when you find that right person for a first kiss, it's everything, and Mat I can't get you out of my head. I'm sorry for kissing you that day, because when I did it didn't have meaning, I didn't put my heart into that kiss. I barely knew you, but now that I've gotten the chance to, I can't love you more then I already do, I don't have enough time to think about you because your on my mind every second. I'm addicted to you, being with you makes my head spin, I can't think straight, but I don't want to come back to reality. I love you with all my heart, body, and soul." Dragon said, tilting Mat's face up to his before gently kissing Mat. Running his tongue slowly along Mat's bottom lip, begging Mat for entrance, before exploring Mat's mouth slowly. Mat was lost in how romantic the whole thing was, they were under the stars, sitting by the lake, and Dragon was kissing him like he needed him to survive, to live.
'Oh Merlin Dragon was right, you really don't want to cheat your first kiss.' Mat thought, before Dragon deepened the kiss. Once air was becoming an issue they broke apart, sharing a few smaller kisses. "Woah, that was incredible." Mat said, panting, trying to catch his breath from the kiss. Dragon didn't answer, just pulled Mat in for another breath taking kiss.
"I told you, I'm addicted." Dragon said, resting his forehead on Mat's. Dragon forgot about the shrunken jacket that Chastity gave him and instead pulled his own shirt off and gave it to Mat. "You're freezing, here put this on."
"What about you?" Mat asked, hesitant about taking Dragon's t-shirt.
"I don't need it. I'll be fine. So where's this other tattoo?" Dragon asked, helping Mat into his t-shirt. Mat pulled the side of his pants down right where the A-pex of his leg was. It was about two inches above it though.
"I had to pull my pants down for Chastity to put it on there." Mat said blushing.
"Well I think it's sexy and rebellious." Dragon said, running his finger over the fake tattoo. "How did she do it?"
"With a spell, it stung a little but that was because I moved when she did it."
"Poor baby. Let me kiss it and make it better." Dragon said, kissing the tattoo. "Now, fix your pants so nothing freezes off. Luckily you didn't have to take your pants off to show the tattoo."
"Why's that?"
"Because you're mine, and I don't want other people to see and get jealous, and try to steal you away. I think I have a lot of competition after tonight. Everyone's going to want to date you."
"Yes, but I'm already taken by the greatest boyfriend in the world."
"Maybe I should meet him, make sure he's good enough for you." Dragon said, looking Mat in the eyes seriously.
"Oh he's perfect for me. There's no one better." Mat said, kissing Dragon.
"I think your boyfriend would get jealous of you kissing another guy. Especially one as handsom as me." Mat just rolled his eyes before kissing Dragon.
"I think he'll get over it."
"They make a cute couple." Chastity whispered standing behind a tree, Harry across from her.
"Yeah they do. I'm glad Dragon's found someone."
"When do you think they'll get off this pre-engagement kick?"
"Very soon. I think Dragon's just waiting for the perfect time to give him the new ring. It's quite beautiful and extremely expensive." Harry whispered.
"I'm proud of Dragon, handling the sex situation the way he did." Chastity said, looking at Harry. "He's growing up."
"Yeah, he is. However, how long before he decides to marry Mat so they can have sex?"
"Do you think they'll last that long? They almost lost it on the dance floor, and then Mat got fed up. I don't think they'll last until there's a wedding."
"You never know. I have faith in him." Harry said, looking once more at Dragon. "Come on let's go in before we're caught." Harry said, tip toeing back to the castle.

A/N: This is the chapter I wanted you all to read over and wait for before you voted, because it does give their opinions of everything and then the adults opinions. The contest is still going on, but remember this chapter just proved that they are going to wait until marriage to sleep with each other, and I know that the Christmas chapter re-affirms that. However, the poll is still going on, when do you think they should sleep together (Which means that whatever you chose will be when Mat and Dragon also get married). So far we have over this summer (Though that would be hard seeming that the summer chapter is Harry and Draco's wedding) which has1 vote. The summer of Dragon's Sixth and Mat's Seventh year has 1 vote, and the Summer of Dragon's 7th year (Mat will have graduated by then) has 3 Votes. So Please, think it over and get back to me, again you can vote and change it 3 times. After your third time your vote will not change, so vote responsibily and carefully. Again the categories are:
This summer:1
The summer of Dragon's 6th and Mat's 7th year: 2
The Summer of Dragon's 7th year: 3
D/N: Oh come on guys, think of my sex life, plus you all know that you want to see Mat and I married :). Or at least I hope you all do. Anyways, Kime voted also, but she's not telling anyone which one she voted for and she only gets one vote, she can't change. Anyways, the long speech about the first kiss, some of it NOT all of it was taken from Grey's Anatomy, the whole I love you Heart, Body, and Soul thing is from the movie Pride and Prejudice. Everything else in that speech, most of the speech actually is Kime's own words. On with the reviews.
Heather: Sev: Thanks. Sorry, I'm old and have a ball and chain. He he, my abs made your day huh? Anyways Glad you enjoyed the chapter. Okay, your vote was hard to decide so I placed it in the last category because that's the only sentence that made sense to me. Again I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter and Sev's Abs.
Sarahamanda: I'm glad your nephew is doing good. Glad you also enjoyed the chapter, I also got your vote.
Bitcake: I'm sorry about updating seriously fast, but I'm glad that it's a good thing. I already have about 4-5 chapters wrote and ready to update. I'm glad that you love love love how this year is progressing. (Runs away) No strangling the author! No strangling the author! I'm glad that you actually read the poem and essay, but I don't know if I should be upset or offended that you skim the actual story. Well Dragon's and mine's view differs when it comes to fathers. I never had a father growing up, hence why Dragon has two great ones, my father was a mean and very bad person. No! Mat is NOT going to be a dominatrix! No way Jose! I put both of your votes down, and I'll count them as only 1 vote that way you still have 2 more chances to change them. The summer between those two years would be the summer of their 7th year silly head. I'm always up until around 2-3 in the morning. James: I don't think so crazy person.
Inuyasha531: Ok okay you're mean some of the time, not all of the time. Glad to hear you stopped smoking, now if we could get you to stop drinking. Dragon: Your sentence confused the heck out of me..I am telling you this and I want you to enforce it. I will not drink as much as I do all most never. That sentence isn't in English let alone understandable. Why are you telling me to enforce you not to drink as much as you almost never do? Hi to your sister. It's okay my parents always weird me out. Aww, glad I'm one of your hero's why I have no clue but aww. Glad you enjoyed the last chapter. Harry: That wasn't wicked. :), nor was it bad. Draco: I'll try but I can't promise anything.
