Chapter 9:

Today was Christmas Eve and I told Draco that I would go with him for the night. I don't know what to expect. I still question his motives. I'm not so sure, if he is still trying to get into my pants or if he really is changing. Well, even if I am unsure of what he thinks he is going to get out of this, I will go to wherever he plans to take me. It's better than doing nothing tonight.

I figured that I had clothes somewhere in my wardrobe that I could wear so I decided not to go out and get anything. Draco said not too formal so I began searching. It took me a few hours but I finally found the perfect outfit. It was a slimming black dress with spaghetti straps, it slightly flared at the end, and it went to my knees. It was elegant but not to formal.

I got in the shower and I began to think. Was it really the best thing to go with him? I hope I wasn't giving him the idea that I wanted to be with him! I mean, he's Draco Malfoy! He was the one who shoved me down the stairs! He was the one who made fun of the way I looked and insulted my own mother! How was I supposed to trust him? How could I? While I was in the shower, I felt relaxed by the warm droplets of water as it touched my skin. Even though my mind was filled with doubt, it was all washed away by the water and that happy memory of my first kiss came to my mind. I was at peace with myself when he kissed me. I was happy, and I felt free from all of my burdens.

Draco's POV

I got her a present. It was small but expensive. I had it nicely wrapped and sat it under the tree in the common room.

As I waited for Lydia in our common room, I began to get anxious. My feelings for her did not get in the way of my lust for her. I was craving for her to lie beneath me but would it ever come to that? Would she ever allow me to take her?

I heard footsteps on the stairs so I turned and was in complete awe. I had to admit I thought she was stunning. I felt as if I couldn't breath. Her hair was pinned up in a radiant bun. Some of her hair still fell on her face but most of it was pulled back. For once I could truly see her eyes. They were beautiful violet eyes. I had never seen any like them before. When I looked at her dress I noticed it was a nice slimming dress ended right above her knees. Ever since her little transformation at the beginning of the year I found her attractive but seeing her all dressed up and looking into her violet eyes was just like seeing a goddess walk down from the heavens.

"I hope I'm not too overdressed am I?" she asked in a very shy and quiet voice.

I was still too stunned to answer but I got my words out.

"Um, uh, you look great!" I said stuttering, "Shall we go?"

"Um, sure."

Lydia's POV

He seemed so handsome! Yes, I admitted that Draco Malfoy was handsome. He wore black dress pants and shoes. He had a white long sleeve button down shirt that was slightly unbuttoned at the top slightly showing his chest. His hair was his usual sleeked back hair but it didn't look like its usual greased up self. He cleaned up pretty well but I guess that is because of where he comes from. I mean a lot of rich people need to look nice right? They have their "image" and "reputation" to uphold.

He took my hand and apparated us both away. I found us both in a night club. The music was so loud it was hard for me to think! I saw so many people dancing like crazy.

"Come on! Let's go dance!" said Draco who was trying to be louder than the music.

"But I don't like to dance in public!" I said back to him also trying to overpower the music, but Draco had already took my hand and pulled me out to the dance floor.

Draco's POV

She was nervous. I could tell. I took her hand and brought her out to the dance floor. The DJ seemed to be playing a muggle song. It was some song called "Sexy Back" by a muggle known as Justin Timberlake.

It was really cute but annoying seeing her just stand still while everyone else including myself dancing. I decided that I would try to loosen her up a bit.

"Hey don't be so stiff!" I said in a stern voice. "Come on Dance!"

"I told you, I don't like to dance in public!"

"Well you're going to dance! That's the reason I brought you here!" I said getting a little aggravated.

Lydia's POV

I don't usually dance especially in public, but Draco was getting irritated. I know he invited me out and is trying to help me have a good time so I'll dance, just this once in public.

I eventually got into it and started to dance like I had an endless amount of energy. I felt alive! I felt happy and I was having fun!

The next thing I knew a slow song came on called "Butterflies" by Alicia Keys. All of a sudden Draco took my hand and brought me to him.

"We need to be closer," said Draco as he put his arm around my waist and pulled me towards him. I was shocked and scared to do anything so I just went with it. He slowly swayed me from side to side and held me close. I was starting to enjoy the dance and then he kissed me. Once again I felt that same contentment when he kissed me the first time.

He tried to make the kiss deeper but I pushed him away. He simply stared at me with confusion in his eyes.

"I'm sorry," I said and apparated myself out of the club and into my room where I locked myself for the rest of the night.

I was beginning to feel something for him. I was beginning to feel an attraction towards him and I just couldn't let myself believe it. He was the boy who ridiculed and laughed at me since our first year. He was my enemy! How is it that after all these years of not feeling my emotions that he can just kiss me and I feel every single one of them? Every single emotion in just one kiss that felt so good.

Draco's POV

When she left I felt dumbstruck. I truly didn't expect her to leave. When we were dancing I could feel her melting into me. I yearned for more of her and when I looked at her lips I couldn't restrain myself anymore. I pressed my lips to hers and kissed her like the first time but it wasn't enough. I wanted more of her so I tried to deepen the kiss but she backed away.

She feels something for me. I know it. She just can't admit to it. I myself don't want to believe the fact that I feel myself loving her. Still the love I have for her has not replaced my lust. I wish these feelings could disappear but she seems to have cast a spell on me.

I ended up just apparating myself back to my room and went to sleep.
