Year Four
Waltz
"Lisa?" Stephan asked me one day. It was close to Chirstmas now and the Yule Ball was the talk of the school.
"Um. Did you, well you probably don't, but maybe you would like to, only if you want to," Stephan babbled. It was hard to keep up. "Would you like to go to the Ball with me?" he asked so quickly I had to think about it for a second. When I finally decoded his words I smiled, well actually I think I blushed and gave him what I assumed was a smile but the look on his face told me otherwise.
"Yes," I said. He looked away and sighed.
"Ok, I thought you wouldn't want to anyway," he said I placed my hand on his arm and smiled.
"I said Yes," I giggled. Stephan turned around and smiled brighter then I had ever seen him.
…...
I have never pictured myself in a dress, in fact looking at myself now was almost as if I was looking at someone else. The purple strapless dress falling down to the ground looked wrong on me but beautiful on the girl in the mirror. I looked at myself for a long time, turning, twisting, spinning, dancing. It was a while before I realise I was making Stephan wait. I quickly walked down to the common room. I didn't recognise him at first, he was in the corner in a beautiful suit. He didn't scrub up to bad.
It was the first time I had seen him as something more then a friend. Something tugged in my chest as if I thought of him as something more. He walked towards me and gave me a Voilet to match my dress. I blushed and thank him before we walked down to the great hall. I am not sure if it was nerves or if he felt the same way but neither of us spoke as we walked to the hall.
…...
They started their Waltz, all the Triwizard Champions. They moved gracefully over the dance floor. It was beautiful. Stephan took my hand and led me to the floor and he gracefully, as if he was doing it for years, took me in his arms and led me around the dance floor. After a moment other couples followed our led and came onto the dance floor too until we were all swaying around the room in beautiful colours and blurs.
After a while Stephan and I decided to leave the dance floor and go out into the beautiful arrange courtyard to the right of the great oak door. It was marvellous, elegant and absolutely beautiful, it really made the end of the night perfect. Or so I thought. When we were outside alone Stephan took my hand and pulled me close to him and in a swift beautiful moment he kissed me. I wasn't sure hat to make of it, instead I stood in front of him and blushed.
Maybe this was the start of something knew, and it all happened with the Waltz.
