Ann-Marie and Alec got to the dance floor and Ann-Marie had to give Alec some help finding all the right positions
"Alec, put your right hand on my waist" said Ann-Marie, Alec gave her a weird look but did as she said "Ok hold my hand out here" Alec did so and the music started.
Alec looked at Ann, he couldn't get over how beautiful she looked, she was always beautiful but now she looked stunning, and she was such a brilliant dancer, Alec however was trying hard not to step on her feet. Ann-Marie saw him looking at his feet and giggled, more people started joining in, and eventually the dance floor was filled, after the waltz the band Silver Snitch started playing something a little more modern, Ann looked over at Crystal and Mark who were talking to each other and laughing, they looked like they were having a good time, Alicia and Tom King were flirting with each other like mad.
Crystal looked over at Ann and Alec, they were dancing together, they looked so happy, why couldn't she have that with Mark, she had fancied him since Ann and Alec first started going out and Mark started hanging out with them more, mark was quite good looking actually, he had shiny brown hair that was quite long for a boy, he had brown eyes that reminded her of the sky on a sunny day, she was happy she was at the Yule ball with him, but she knew it was just because everyone else was taken,
"So Crystal, shall we go for a walk?" asked Mark
"Alright then" she replied, she walked around the snowy grounds of Beauxbatons in the moonlight just talking.
"You know Crystal, you look beautiful tonight" said Mark
"Thanks, you look really handsome tonight," said Crystal
"You know Crystal, I wanted to ask you to the ball earlier, but I was still working up the courage, and then I thought you may be going with someone else"
"So why were you so shy about asking me before?" asked Crystal
"Because I really like you, Crystal, I have done since Alec introduced us" Mark leaned forward and kissed her, Crystal couldn't believe this! Mark fancied her! She never wanted that moment to end…
"Alicia, have you seen Crystal and Mark anywhere?" Ann asked Alicia
"No, sorry Ann why are we heading back now?" asked Alicia
"We'll we are, coming?" asked Ann,
"No I'll stay here with Tom," said Alicia, as she turned round to see Tom with a drink for himself and Alicia.
It was just Alec and Ann walking back to the train in the moonlit snow,
"It was great there wasn't it, remember when Alicia was trying to flirt with Tom by doing the thing were you circle your finger on the top of your glass and she ended up spilling it all over him" said Alec
"Yeah that was hilarious," said Ann
"You know what the best part was though?" asked Alec
"What?" asked Ann
"That you were there, and you looked so beautiful" Alec kissed Ann, they broke apart and Alec looked over her and said
"Merlin!" Ann turned around to see what he was looking at, Crystal and Mark were kissing.
"I didn't even know they liked each other," said Ann
"Well lets give them some privacy then" said Alec as he held Ann's hand and they walked of.
Meanwhile back at the ball Alicia and Tom were still having a laugh with each other
"You now Alicia, I'm really glad that you said yes when I asked you to the Yule ball," said Tom "Well, I need to go back now…"
"Oh, I'll walk with you," said Alicia
As they walked back to the train they talked for ages, it seemed like just a few seconds before they were back at the train
"Ok, this is my room," said Alicia, not sure what to say "so goodnight"
"Goodnight" said Tom as they hugged, Tom looked at her and kissed her, the whole time Alicia was begging that her glasses wouldn't get in the way, they held hands and as Tom walked on to his bedroom they slowly slipped apart, Alicia walked in and saw Ann lying on her bed, Ann sat up and Alicia could see she had the biggest smile on her face
"So, how did it go?" asked Ann
"Well… we talked for ages, he walked me back here and we kissed goodnight"
"You kissed?" asked Ann
"Yeah but, seeing as your lipstick is smeared I don't need to ask you weather you snogged my brother or not" said Alicia as Ann wiped underneath her lip and looked at her hand, just then Crystal walked in with the biggest smile on her face and her lipstick smeared
"Ok, what happened?" asked Alicia
"Well I know what happened between them" said Ann "you kissed Mark"
"what make you think that?" said Crystal
"well one Alec and I saw you"
"And two your lipstick is more smeared than Ann's was!" said Alicia
"Yeah OK we kissed!" said Crystal
and suddenly they all swapped stories about the most magical night of there life's…
