DISCLAIMER: I don't own Harry Potter, only my ideas.
This is one of the first ones that I haven't used lyrics for! Yay for me! Haha, I hope you liked it and the next chapter is back to the twelve-year-olds.
I need something from you guys, Kay? I need some ideas for a few oneshots or only one or something. What should I do? I will honestly do anything you ask me to. I am that desperate!

I quickly walked back to where the rest of my friends were sitting and sat down next to Dagan, smoothing my dress out of wrinkles. I looked at Aspen and signaled with my head and then did the same for Abby. They both stood up and left the table, grabbing me before they left. "We'll be right back," Aspen whispered to all of our boys that were left behind.
They both pulled me into the lavatory and I sank down on my knees and put my head in my hands. It took me a little while to realize that I was shaking all over. "All right. What's up and why did you call this meeting?" Aspen said quickly. "The dancing's about to start and I am not going to miss it."
"James and I kissed," I sobbed, tears coming down my cheeks.
"What?!" Abby exclaimed, her eyes wide. Aspen dropped down on the ground next to me and gave me a hug.
"Well, I went out to go and get him and then he was like 'I'm surprised you could get away from your boyfriend long enough to come out here.' And I was like 'If you don't want me here then I can go back and leave you here.' And then he said that he wanted me there and I told him not to say that and he said that it was true and then I told him that if he wanted me to kiss him then he should have when he had the chance. And I got up to leave and then he grabbed me and he kissed me!" This all came out in a rush and it was all I could do to not get up and start pacing. Abby just looked at me with those big eyes of hers and Aspen got up. "What are you doing?"
"Did you like it?" she asked bluntly. I stood up and went over to the door, getting ready to leave. "You aren't leaving until you tell me! Did you like it and did you kiss him back?!"
"I have to go back out there. Dagan's probably wondering where I am," I said, opening the door and walking out. I took a deep breath, smoothed my dress down and plastered a smile onto my face.

"Where have you been? We haven't been able to talk at all," Dagan whined next to me. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. I opened my eyes and looked up, James was standing behind me.
"Why don't we talk now?" I asked, biting my lip, knowing that he never wanted to talk.
"Why don't we just do this?" He pressed his lips against mine and I felt the flutter of guilt flash through me. I pulled away and looked down at my empty plate. "What? What's wrong?"
"Nothing," I lied, looking over at James. He was watching me intently and not paying attention to Vondurri dancing with a random guy. "I just feel a little - -."
"Acacia. Dance with me?" he asked boldly, not even caring that Dagan was sitting right next to me. I bit my lip and looked over at Dagan, praying that he would say no. Dagan nodded and James stood up, beckoning for me to follow him.
We went out onto the dance floor where they were playing a slow song. Perfect. That was just my luck. He put his hands on my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck. To my despair people were staring at us. Probably wondering whether we were finally together or not. I glared at him through my eyelashes but he was absolutely beaming. "Why are you so stiff? Loosen up a little!" he said excitedly, gliding me across the floor.
"James! Could you please stop! I am trying to have the perfect Cinderella moment and you are ruining it!" I screeched, looking into his green eyes.
"How am I ruining it?" he asked skeptically as though he had no idea that I was here with Dagan and not him. "I mean, sure we kissed, but I think your pretty boy boyfriend can get over it."
I looked back at Dagan and saw that he was staring at us intently. "James. He is incredibly jealous. The only reason why he let me dance with you was because he knew that that would make me happy. If he knew about our kiss, we would be over and done with. And, quite frankly, there is no way that you are ruining this for me!"
"Oh, really? Because mum always told me I could do anything I set my mind to."
"Can you please be serious at least once in you life!"
"No!"
"Why not?"
"Because that's way to boring. And I would be a stickler like you!"
"I am not a stickler!" I hissed, glaring at him. He just laughed and dipped me. He pulled me back up and I felt a flicker of annoyance along with anger. "Besides. If I was as lax as you are, then I would never get anything done."
"And what's so wrong with that?" he asked as the song changed into something faster. Just my luck. "I mean, if everyone was as uptight as you are, fun would be outlawed."
"I am not uptight!" I growled, dancing in beat with the music.
"No. You weren't uptight. But then you decided to date that serious Dagan bloke and everything changed. Didn't it?" he asked, stopping and just staring at me. I fell silent, not thinking of anything to say because he was absolutely right. "That wasn't a rhetorical question. I want an answer."
"Fine. But if you hadn't started dating Vondurri, we wouldn't be in this situation now would we?" I asked harshly, trying to dance again. But James was practically unmovable. I jumped when I heard Dagan's voice behind me.
"Would you mind moving away from my girlfriend, James?" Dagan asked scathingly. James looked as though he was about to leave but then he gained new courage.
"No," I whispered, willing him not to do this.
"Actually, I would," James said boldly. It was only then that I realized that the music had stopped. I was scared now. I knew what Dagan would do and I knew that his anger would be taken out on me. "I believe that I would like to dance with your dear Acacia for a few songs more."
I shook my head and closed my eyes, tears squeezing out from beneath their tight closures. I didn't want anyone else to know what Dagan was capable of. To me it was my own little secret. I looked into James eyes for a split second, trying to communicate to him that I needed him to stop. But he didn't get it.
"James. I would like to dance with Dagan," I said calmly and evenly, trying to avert the situation that was about to happen.
"No. Actually, I want to dance with you some more. Let's go." James started to dance and I could see the anger light in Dagan's face.
"James. I said no! Let me go!" But it was too late. Dagan used his long strides to stalk over to me and James. I started to tremble with fear. I could feel myself start to fall, but James' strong arms kept me standing up. Dagan pulled James away from me and unceremoniously fell onto the ground. "Dagan! Stop! Don't hurt him!" I screamed from where I was sitting.
"Shut up!" he yelled at me, smacking my face with a loud snap. Pinpricks of light appeared in front of my eyes and I could feel heat searing my cheek. I opened my eyes and I could see James, Tristan and Dagan wrestling on the ground. They had saved me from further torment and my Cinderella night had been turned into a Lestrange nightmare.
