The Dance
"May I have this dance, Mademoiselle?"
"Of course, Monsieur," Gabrielle replied. She wondered if he had seen her watching him across the room. Truth be told, she had barely taken her eyes of him since she arrived at the ball.
He took her in his arms, such a strong dancer, she mused. He held her firmly, but not to tight, as he spun her around the floor. People were stopping to watch them, this beautiful couple who fit together so perfectly.
When the dance ended, he didn't let go. They danced again and again together, slow and fast, refusing to be parted by anyone.
As the night drew to a close, he pulled her close to him.
"May I see you again?" he asked softly, his grey eyes boring into her own.
"Who said I am ready to be parted yet?" she replied, her voice innocent, her eyes sultry.
"Perhaps I can interest you in a walk under the starlight?"
"Perhaps," she replied.
As he led her from the ball, she couldn't help but think she may have met her match in Draco Malfoy.
