Saying Holly disliked dances and balls would be a very big understatement. She despised dances. She, unlike her brother, could dance. Still not as well that would be liked and thought of by someone who's father was a Pureblood heir. And now the Minister. But she could still hold her own when dancing.
"So, you're hanging around the punchbowl as well?" She turned to her left and saw her friend Cedric Diggory. Brown hair slicked back, and gray eyes shining.
"Of course I am." She took a sip of her drink and he nodded. Just in a simple black suit with a white undershirt. "Where else could I be?" He shrugged. He was three years older than her and Harry, and was already attending Hogwarts. Had been for the past two years. He was going into his third year while Holly and Harry were going into their first years. Cedric had been sorted into the Hufflepuff house.
"Oh I don't know, dancing?" Holly rolled her eyes at him.
"Yes. Dancing. Something I positively love to do." Cedric laughed at the girl.
"Finish your drink, I'll take this dance. If I can of course?" Holly nodded, and finished her punch, and when she did, Cedric took her hand and led her onto the dancefloor, and they did a simple waltz. She quickly spotted her brother who was dancing with a nine year old girl. It was easy to identify the girl. It was Ginevra Weasley, or simply, Ginny. She had orange hair, just like the rest of her family, and brown eyes. She was Ron's little sister, speaking of Ron, he was standing with his brothers, Bill, Percy, Charlie, and of course, the twins, Fred and George. Percy and Bill, had brown eyes like their sister, but Ron, Charlie, and the twins, were all blue eyed. And everyone in that family had flaming orange hair. It wasn't hard to tell when there was a Weasley around. The oldest was Bill, then Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron, and lastly Ginny.
"Excuse me. If I may take the next dance?" Cedric and Holly turned to see Draco, Holding out his hand for Holly to take. Before Cedric let go, he looked at Holly like the Hufflepuff he was, and she nodded, telling him it was alright.
"She's all yours." Cedric and Draco bowed to one another, as custom, and then he bowed to Holly, holding out his hand which he waited for her to take, then the two began their dance.
"Just thought I'd tell you since I didn't get a chance earlier, you look very lovely." Draco wouldn't meet her eyes as they danced. And Holly giggled at the blush that stained his cheeks.
Ron watched with an eyebrow raised as his best gal-pal danced around with Malfoy. Of all people! He rolled his eyes, and then Harry walked back over to him, all the other Weasley boys had walked off to go dance with their sister, taking turns spinning the young girl.
"What's going on Ron? You look like you drank some bad pumpkin juice?" Ron just pointed.
"Holly's dancing with Malfoy. Of all the bloody people here!" Harry rolled his eyes. Sure, he didn't like Malfoy. But as far as he knew, neither did Holly.
"So?" Ron just gaped at him like a fish.
"So? So! He's dancing with Holly! That doesn't bug you?!" Harry shrugged.
"I mean, yeah. But dad told her to." He looked over at Ron who was starting to become red in the face. "Why? You got a little crush on my sister?" Ron's face showed horror.
"Blimey! No! She's like a sister to me!" Harry nodded.
"If you say so." Harry watched closer and saw that his sister and Malfoy were actually having a good time, dancing and laughing as he led her in a waltz. "I mean, it's not like they're going to get married or anything." He chuckled nervously. "Right Ron?" Ron just shrugged.
"I don't bloody know." He sighed. "I mean, we're still very young. You two are only ten. And Malfoy and I are eleven. We don't even know what we're going to do with our lives. So I doubt him and Hol will get together. So don't worry about it to much Har." Harry nodded.
"Right. Of course. No way she would fall for Malfoy anyway. The squirmy ferret." Ron nodded.
"Exactly." He held up his glass of pumpkin juice. "Cheers?" Harry nodded.
"Cheers." The two then drank their juice.
Holly didn't know how many dances they had danced together, or what the time was, all she knew was that for once she was having a good time! Soon though, the ball had ended, and she was with her brother and father as they approached the Floo, and went home. She couldn't help but smile as she set a few pictures on her desk, one of her family, all three of them, smiling happy, another of her and Harry with the Weasley's and Cedric, and the last one, she was dancing with Draco. She watched silently as all the pictures shifted, the one of her with her family just full of smiles, the one with her and Harry with the others shifted to show pushing, shoving, and laughing. Then, the one with her and Draco just showed them dancing, gliding around silently as they laughed and smiled. Eyes twinkling happy. She then sighed, changed out of her dress and into her pajamas, and went to sleep.
