Chloe woke up about an hour after she left Abraxas and would that she was still all smiles. She began to get ready put on a simple black dress that accented her features. She then applied some light makeup and with a wave of her wand she had a beautiful French twist. She walked out of the small bathroom and seen Draco and Hermione waiting for her in their dress attire. Hermione was in a dress similar to the one she wore to the Yule Ball and Draco was in his black dress robes. They left there common room to meet their dates. Chloe rushed to the Entrance Hall to meet Tom. When she arrived Tom was standing with a Slytherin girl hanging off his arm and he didn't look happy. Chloe raised an eyebrow at him and he nodded his head slightly. "Will you allow someone to stand in for your partner he seems slightly caught up?" Abraxas whispered in her ear.

"Of course." Clover answered and kissed him lightly on the lips. Causing a shot of jealousy to move through Tom. Abraxas then held out his arm to Clover, which she took, and they made their way into the ball followed by Tom and his new date. "So how did you get Tom to give me up?" She asked.

"Well he knows I am absolutely crazy about you so he asked my date to the ball. Eliza Black wants to be on the arm of power so she accepted. And in return I get to take my girl. May I have this dance?" Abraxas finished with a slight smile. Clover nodded and she was led onto the floor. Both Mione and Drake noticed Clover's switch of dates but she seemed to be thoroughly enjoying herself. After dancing for a while they went to get drinks and some food. When they arrived at the table Abraxas pulled Clover's chair out for her before sitting down opposite her. Two menu's appeared on the table with two butterbeers. After they decided on food it appeared in front of them instantly. As they ate they talked and joked. Kisses were also exchanged through the dinner and soon Abraxas picked a dessert. Clover's eyes lit up when she seen the crème brulee. Abraxas noticed this and promptly lifted some to Clover's mouth in his spoon and fed it to her. The pair continued this until the dessert was gone and they sat for a few more minutes before getting up and rejoining the dance floor. Once on the dance floor a slow song came on and the couple moved closer to each other and noticed no one but each other. Drake and Mione both took notice and smiled to themselves that Chloe had finally found someone for her, well Hermione did, Draco was still horrified at the fact that Chloe was dating his grandfather. Tom also noticed and he once again felt the jealousy coursing through himself as he looked at the couple. He bit back the jealousy quickly as he noted the smile on Abraxas's face. He had never seen the Malfoy anything other than smirk when it came to happiness. Tom also felt betrayed as he seen his friend twirl Clover Bay around on the dance floor. Abraxas wasn't around often and he didn't trust anyone with his plans as much as Abraxas and the reason was a bloody girl. But he also liked Clover as a friend, well he believed that was all he felt for her. He noticed though that every time her and Abraxas got close he felt jealous, Tom Riddle jealous of his closest friend because of a girl. Even at meeting Abraxas was only thinking of Clover and because of this the others were slacking and weren't being serious about the cause anymore. He guessed his opinion was changing about the subject to as he genuinely liked Clover and she was friends with muggleborns. Clover also had no interest what so ever in the Dark Arts she made that clear. Tom was going to see what happened over the next few weeks and make a decision then.

Abraxas was beyond trilled that Clover had accepted him. He had only met her mere weeks before yet he was considering marrying her and being with her for life. And that was quite the feat for the only Malfoy as he wasn't so innocent when it came to his needs and women. Yet since Clover had been around he hadn't went to have his needs taken care of. He wouldn't be doing so soon either now that he had Clover, Abraxas wasn't going to let go of her if he had anything to say about it and he definitely wasn't going to do anything that would ultimately cause her to leave him. Abraxas had finally decided that quitting the Death Eaters would be the right decision as if he didn't it would hurt Clover and certainly didn't want to hurt her.

Clover felt happier then ever now that she was with Abraxas. She was ecstatic when he asked her to be his girlfriend and when he swept her off her feet before the dance. She glanced at Hermione and Draco and she felt a pang of reality. She had to return to the future and leave Abraxas eventually. And he would never know who she actually was. He didn't know her reputation, or her past. She wished to stay with him and hope things worked out. But for the time she was going to enjoy herself and the time she had with him.

The remainder of the dance flowed by quickly and soon it was midnight and the last song was playing. Hermione and Draco had left their dates by the end of the night and were dancing with each other. Tom managed to get away from Eliza Black and was currently sitting at a table watching Chloe and Abraxas's every move and the jealousy was bottling up inside of him. When the dance ended Headmaster Dippet wished the attendants a good night and that classes would resume on Monday, something they were all grateful for. Abraxas and Chloe left slowly not wanting the night to end and when they finally reached the Grand Stairway they had to go separate ways to get to their dormitories and Dippet made it clear that everyone was to go directly to their dorms. They parted with a few kisses and Chloe began walking up the stairs to her dorm. Abraxas watched her as she moved through the crowd of students to see her turn and blow him a kiss and smile. Abraxas returned the smile and stayed where he was until Chloe was out of sight. As he began to walk back to the common room he was joined by Tom. The two were exhausted at the dancing the whole night and were planning nothing other than sleeping for a good while.

When Chloe arrived back at the dorm she noticed Draco and Hermione were already there cuddling on the couch. "So I see your night went well." Chloe joked as she, with the wave of her wand, was in her night clothes and her makeup vanished. She then dropped onto the chair closest to the fire. Draco and Hermione smiled at her in return.

"You seemed happier Chloe. A lot happier than I've seen you in a long time." Hermione mentioned as she looked at Chloe's glowing expression that she had been wearing since Abraxas took her to the dance. Chloe blushed slightly before retiring to her dorm to sleep. Hermione and Draco chuckled lightly before returning to their cuddling.
