*Danni's POV*
"A Yule Ball? Are you kidding me?" I cursed, throwing my robe on my bed.
Hermione picked up my robe, folding it, then saying, "You don't want to go?"
"No! I mean, I do, but no one will ask me." I hissed, kicking my shoes off.
"I'm sure someone will ask, Danni. You're being overreactive."
I stomped off into the bathroom, steam rising out of my ears. Part of me knew no one would ask, but the other part, well, it was really hopeful. Harry would surely be after Violet, and Ron, well, it might have been possible he'd ask me. But he was so indecisive, it was unlikely he would. I decided to sleep on it, hoping it would drown out my sour feelings.
The next morning, I walked to Care of Magical Creatures with Harry, Hermione and Ron. "So, who are you going to ask?" Ron said suddenly, looking at Harry.
He turned a deep red, and then shrugged. "Not so sure yet. Professor McGonagall did say that the Champions have their own personal dance, so I have to pick someone good."
"Oh shove off it, Harry! We all know who you'll ask." Hermione cooed, elbowing his ribcage as we saw Violet and Cedric walk inside one of the buildings, smiling and laughing.
"By the looks of it, you better get a move on, Harry. Cedric might beat you to it." I warned, watching Harry's far-off, sorrowful gaze.
"You're thinking about asking Harrison? 'Arry, we just met the girl!" Ron cried, his face twisted with shock.
Harry shook his head, "I wasn't going to ask!" I rolled my eyes, his lie was so terrible. Then, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked over to see Draco.
"Why hello there, Danni." He murmured slyly. The other three looked over, saw him, and immediately reacted. Hermione pierced him with a glare, Harry began to pull out his wand, and Ron shoved him away from me.
"What do you want, Malfoy?" Harry growled.
"I'm just here to steal your friend here. Don't worry, I'll make sure no one harms her." Draco sneered, pulling me towards him.
"It's okay, guys. I'll catch up, this'll only take a minute or two." I assured them, and Ron uneasily gulped.
"Keep your guard up then." He mumbled, and the three cautiously walked away, whispering about something. I turned to Draco, crossing my arms.
"What do you need?"
"Aw, don't be like that. You know you enjoy my company."
"Yeah, well you can't just pull me away from them willy-nilly. I see you in free period, and I can't have them be suspicious."
"You make it sound like we're a couple." He smirked. I bit my lip, and shook my head.
"No, that's the last thing we are. Now what did you need?"
"I wanted to know if you wanted to go to the Yule Ball with me." Draco sighed, pushing his hair out of his face. I looked at him confusedly, unsure what to say.
"You want to-go to the Yule Ball-with me?"
"That is why I asked." He chuckled. "So what do you say?"
I gulped, and I really didn't know my answer. Sure, we'd gotten to know each other better in the past week, and he was nice, but was that worth endangering my relationship with Harry, Hermione and Ron? "Yes, I'd love to." I grinned, giving him a quick hug.
"I'm glad you accepted. You got me a little worried there." Draco exclaimed.
"Well, don't worry about it. I'm yours." I murmured. He winked and then kissed my hand as if I was some sort of Queen.
"I shall see you in free period, m'lady." I blushed deeply, and rushed off to Care of Magical Creatures, not sure how to tell Hagrid why his best student was ten minutes late.
So, Danni got her date to the Yule Ball, yay! The next chapter will be with Violet, and this will be the last chapter of the main plot before we start the Yule Ball (Violet and Danni's point of view will be used.) So stay tuned, and get ready to see what happens next. Leave a review and tell me what you think. Enjoy, and stay awesome, Gotham.
