A/N - Before I start, I hope you've all been enjoying reading this as much as I have writing it :P
With Potions finished and the Yule Ball only hours away, Jessie looked around for her father, as he still hadn't sent her dress robes to her.
As she found him, she asked for her robes, which were a lovely red. He gave it to her and left, knowing he'd have to help with supervising.
Jessie hurried back to the common room and entered the portrait hole, to find three extremly angry redheads.
"Whats the idea!" Ari said
"What?" Jessie said
"You know perfectly well.." Fred began
"..what we're talking bout" George finished
"If your talking bout Potions, I'm sorry"
"You know damn skippy thats what I'm talking about! So its DRACO who you've been secretly writing to" Ari said
"Yes, and I dont see why your so upset about it! He's really a nice guy" Jessie said, putting her dress down on the back of a chair.
"Your talking about the same guy who shaved our heads with an anti growth spell last year, you know that?" the twins said.
Jessie giggled.
"Its not funny! Took us two weeks to learn the counter spell" Fred said, running his fingers through his hair.
"Look, I'm flattered your concerned, but everything is great. Now, if you dont mind, I REALLY need to get dressed, I'm meeting my date at six o'clock" Jessie said, picking up her robes - which were falling off the chair - and headed to the girls dorms.
Ari again stopped Jessie "But the ball doesnt start till seven o'clock"
"I know" she said with a massive smile on her face as she dissappeared up the stairs that lead to the girls dorms.
Jessie put her robes on the bed and started looking around. She'd plan to put the rose that he gave her, which was still full of life, in her hair.
As soon as she found it, she began getting dressed.
Fifteen minutes later, she was ready. She made her final adjustments, to the flower, to the dress - which was a beautiful flowing strapless dress with added sparkles, and her necklace and looked at the time.
It was five-thirty. She thought she'd get going because she could hear and argument brewing downstairs between Hermione and Ari yet again.
"...but I was here first, therefore I have all rights to sit here" Ari shouted
"Just get out of my seat Black" Hermione said
"Dont see your name on it Granger" Ari said louder.
Jessie rolled her eyes, and thought she'd try and sneek out.
As quietly as she could, she walked down the stairs, past the quarrelling duo ('dont make me hex you again!') and through the portrait hole.
Jessie breathed a sigh of relief. She fixed up the last of her hair and headed towards the Great Hall, hoping Draco would be there already.
She walked hurriedly down three flights of stairs, taking two at a time, until she got in line with the Entrance Hall.
Noticing Draco wasn't there, she decided to go for a walk, to explore the castle. After all, she still had ten minutes before he was due to meet her, she thought.
Jessie adjusted ger dress, which kept falling down.
She sighed. So much for altering it, she thought.
Just as she went to leave, she heard something that made her turn back around.
There was Draco, looking ever so handsome in a black and silver suit, including the Slytherin snake on his robe that was covering his suit, trying go get his foot out of the step that she'd learnt to avoid and swearing profoundly under his breath.
"Stupid ass of a thing. Why have it there when theres no use to the flipping thing"
"Maybe I could be of some assistance?" a voice behind him said. It was Jessie, whom Draco thought looked stunning.
Draco looked intently at Jessie, his eyes wide open and jaw hanging down on the ground, his eyes tracing her petite body and stopping on her bust.
Jessie clicked her fingers in Dracos face and pointed to her face.
"Up here please" she said, giving him a stern look. Draco looked away "Sorry bout that" he muttered, feeling a little ashamed.
After pulling his leg out from the stairs, he offered Jessie his arm.
"Shall we?" he said, being very much like a gentleman.
"I think we shall" Jessie said, taking Dracos arm and walking into the Great Hall, which was adorned with smaller tables, Christmas decorations and fake snow - not that they needed it, it was bucketing down outside.
As they entered the Great Hall, the teachers, the few students that were already there and guests looked at Draco and Jessie and gasped. Moments later, they went back to doing what they were doing. Anthony smiled, he'd never seen his daughter more beautiful and more happier in her whole life.
Draco and Jessie took a seat at a far table, away from people who were watching, having a few first years still peering over.
About twenty minutes later, Christian came in with an extremely pretty blonde haired girl, who was wearing a pretty pale yellow dress and was not that much shorter than Christian. They came over to where Draco and Jessie were sitting, with Jessie getting up and recieving a bone crushing hug
"Jess! I've missed you" he said, releasing her from the hug
"Pah, your just saying that" she said, smiling at him "Whos your friend"
"Oh sorry" he said, grabbing the girls hand and pulling her towards him. "This is Felicia, she's a first year as well, and in Ravenclaw too"
Christian lent forward and whispered in Jessie ear "She's my girlfriend" and winked at Jessie.
Jessie didnt know what to say. She extended her hand to Felicia, which Felicia took, but not wiping the terrified look on her face.
Jessie turned around to Draco and said to Christian "This is Dracom as you already know" she said
"Yep, sure do!" he said excitedly, shaking Dracos hand viciously
"Woah! Easy there buddy" Draco said, his trademark smirk plastered on his face
"Well, I'm going to be off, sitting at the Ravenclaw table with a few of our friends" Christian said, letting go of Dracos hand.
Jessie gave her brother one last hug and watched him skip off to the Ravenclaw table.
Jess sat back down and sighed "I can't believe it" she said "He's only been here three months and he's already got a girlfriend. So much for me"
"Oh I'm sure we can change that" Draco said, giving Jessie a little wink "Wanna dance"
Jessie feigned a surprised look "I didn't think the great Draco Malfoy danced" she said, taking the hand that Draco was now offering.
"I had a change of heart" he said "Just dont get used to it, ok"
"I don't plan to" Jessie said, planting a smirk of her own on her face, as they got on the dancefloor.
As she danced with Draco, she saw Ari, who was looking radient in a light green flowing dress - which definatly brought out her eyes - was accompanied by the twins, Fred and George, who Jessie thought looked great in their matching white robes. Following closely behind was Harry, Ron and Hermione, all accompanying each other, with Hermione scowling at Ari.
The rest of the night went smoothly. She danced with Draco and Christian and talked amongst her friends and fellow Gryffindors.
About eleven o'clock, Jessie was getting tired.
"Draco, I'm just going to go say goodnight to Ari" Jessie said, getting up from one of their rare breaks
"Alright, I'll wait here" he said, patting her on the back and giving her a kiss on the top of her head.
Jessie smiled and walked over to Ari and the twins.
"Hello again, having a good time sinec I last came over?" she asked
Ari laughed "You were only gone twenty minutes!" she said "But yes, we've been having fun"
"So he hasnt misbehaved yet?" Fred said, nudging his head towards Draco.
"No, being a perfect gentleman actually" she said smiling.
As she turned around to look at Draco however, the look on her face changed from happy to horrified. There was Draco kissing Pansy.
