Don't forget to review!

Paige sat down next to Draco for breakfast and took some toast, as she almost always did.

'I know something you don't know.' Draco suddenly whispered in her ear.

'Now is that so.' Paige said not really caring.

'Come on, can you at least pretend you're curious?'

'Wow, Draco really? Please, I beg you, tell me.' Paige said a little too excited. Draco rolled his eyes but moved a bit closer to her.

'There is going to be a ball.' He said with a smirk.

'Wow, how awesome.' She said sarcastically.

'What do you have today?' Draco asked. 'How long has it been since you've eaten?' Paige laughed pushing him.

'No, I just got a letter from my parents.'

'Oh, is it bad?'

Paige shrugged and looked at her plate. 'Yeah.' She muttered.

'How bad?' Draco asked slowly.

'They know that I'm nice to… everybody.'

Draco put a hand on her shoulder. He didn't like it either that she was nice to everybody but when she needed him he was always there for her, almost always. 'It's going to be okay.' He said trying to make her feel better.

'Hey, you two.' Pansy said as she sat down next to Paige.

'Hey.' Paige and Draco said at once.

'Paige, look at that. Harry is staring at you.' She said, pointed at the Gryffindor table. Harry was looking at her while taking some pumpkin juice. Paige blushed a bit and smiled at him, making him smile and the pumpkin juice fell out of his mouth. Pansy and Paige began laughing, even Draco let out a small giggle.

'Your owl is here.' Draco said looking up. A big black owl came and landed before Paige with a little note and a box. She took the note and read it out loud.

'Dear Paige, we got you your ball dress. Choose the right date.' Paige put the note down and looked at the box.

'What does she mean, choose the right date?' Pansy asked, looking at the note.

'No idea.' Paige said slowly but she knew for a fact that her parents meant that if she chose someone who was not a Slytherin that they wouldn't be happy.

'Look at this.' Draco said, giving her the daily profit. Paige looked at a photo of Harry hugging Hermione.

'So?' Paige asked Draco, giving back the paper.

'They are hugging, love maybe.' He said, raising an eyebrow.

'Yeah.' Paige said smirking, she moved a bit to Draco and started hugging him.

'Paige!' He said loudly. 'Let go.'

'So now we are girlfriend and boyfriend, or I'm madly in love with you?' She asked, not letting go.

'No, no I get your point.' He said fast.

'Good.' Paige let go and looked at the box again, she slowly opened it and a beautiful black dress was folded up neatly. 'Wow.' Both Draco and Pansy said.

'That's beautiful.' Pansy said.

'Yeah, it's gorgeous.' Paige said when she heard Ron speak.

'Mom sent me a dress.' He said holding an awful looking robe up.

'It does match your eyes. Is there a bonnet?' Harry asked, grabbing something out of the box. 'Aha.' Holding up the bonnet.

'Put it down.' Ron said, walking to his sister. 'Ginny, this must be for you.'

'I'm not wearing that, it looks hideous.' She said, Hermione started laughing.

'What is it?' Ron asked walking back to his friends.

'They are not for Ginny.' She said, still laughing. 'They are for you.' Everybody started laughing including Paige and Pansy. George gave her a fast wink looking at Paige. 'Dress robes.'

'Dress robes?' Ron asked. 'For what?'

'The Yule ball is a ball for dancing.' Snape said as they were all sitting in a big room. Girls on the right and boys on the left. 'So stand up and get a partner to dance with.' Nobody moved, not even Paige. 'So I choose the partners.' Snape said slowly.

Everybody stood up, Paige walked to Draco and started dancing.

'So choosing me?' He said with a cocky smile.

'No, I just know you can already dance. Remember those dance classes when we were little.' Paige teased him.

'Yeah, yeah. Man, how I hated that.' Draco said smiling. 'But who are you going with?'

'I don't know, probably the first one who will ask me.' Paige said, not knowing that Blaise could hear her. She was hoping for Harry ofcourse.

'And what if it is Crabbe?'

'Okay, the first cute person who will ask me.' Paige said smiling.

'And someone from Slytherin!' Draco said strictly.

'Why would I?' Said Paige, still smiling, but Draco didn't find it funny.

'I don't want you to get hurt.' He said. 'After what happened because of me.' Paige stopped him.

'For the last time, Draco. It wasn't your fault.'

'But if I just didn't.'

'Shut up.' Paige said irritatedly and Draco held his mouth shut.

The next day Paige was hanging out with some Slytherins outside. She stayed in groups because quite some boys wanted to ask her to the ball. She once rushed into the girls bathroom because there were five boys waiting for her outside her classroom.

The girls went quiet and Paige looked up. Harry was standing before them with Ron by his side smiling.

Paige smiled too but then he walked away.

'What a loser.' One of the girls said.

'He just walked away.' Pansy said, looking back at Paige.

'Well, it's hard asking someone in the first place.' Paige said smiling, so Harry did wanna ask her.

'Paige.' Someone behind her said. She looked around and saw Blaise.

'Hey, Blaise.' She said a bit nervous.

'Got a date yet?' He asked, and Paige knew what was going to happen but would she say no, but Blaise was a good choice if it was for her parents.

'No.' Paige said nervously.

'Will you go with me?'

The girls around her started to make wolf noises and cheered.

'Come on, Paige.' Pansy said, pushing her a bit closer to Blaise.

'Yeah, sure.' Paige said a bit quietly.

'Great.' Blaise said, giving her a kiss on the cheek and walked away.

'Wow, you're lucky. Blaise is so hot.' One of the girls said with a dreamy face.

'Yeah, Lucky me... I need to go.' Paige said walking away.

At least she could now just say she had someone already, and that she was sorry she couldn't go with them.

'Paige.' Someone yelled. She sighed, ready to tell it to anyone when it was George calling her.

'George.' She said in unbelief.

'Hi, you know it's me.' He said cheerfully.

'Yeah.' Paige said happily.

'So do you have someone for the ball yet?' George asked, Paige felt her heart sink down her stomach. She didn't like him more than friends but she would have loved to go with him. He would make her night real fun.

'I'm sorry, I unfortunately do.' George's smile faded away.

'Oh it's okay.' He said quickly, wanting to walk away.

'Wait, do save me a dance will you?' She asked kindly. George smiled again.

'Sure. By the way, will you sit with me and Fred tomorrow at study hour?' He asked.

'Yeah I would love to.' Paige said cheerfully walking away towards the Slytherin common room. She didn't talk to anyone and went directly to her dorm. She grabbed her dress and looked at it; it was a beautiful black dress down to her feet. She put it back down and looked in the mirror, and put down one of her sleeves. A big scar was on her shoulder going to her back, it still hurt even though it was long ago when she got hurt. All because of her mother, out of the two parents she was the worst to her. Paige sighed and put up her sleeve again.

The next day she sat next to Fred and George busy with her potions homework. She was almost done when Fred pushed her gently in her waist. Paige looked up and he winked letting her see a note. Get a move on, or all the good ones will have gone. Was written on it, Paige looked at Fred with a questioning face. He took the note and threw it to Ron who was sitting a few places away with Hermione and Harry.

Ron looked at Fred then to the note and back at Fred.

'Who are you going with?' He asked. Fred smiled and threw a crumpled up paper to a girl, who Paige knew was also in Gryffindor. She looked up with an irritated face.

'Angelina?' Fred whispered so that Snape wouldn't hear him.

'What?' she mouthed as Snape was standing behind her reading a book.

'Do you want to go to the ball with me?' Fred mouthed and acted it out making George and Paige smile.

'To the ball?' She mouthed back. 'Yeah, alright then.'

Fred looked back to Ron and winked and went back to work, high-fiving Paige under the table.

'Hermione, you're a girl.' Paige heard Ron say.

'He is such a loser.' George said to Paige looking at his brother.

'Yeah.' Paige said back.

'If you really want to know, someone already asked me.' Hermione said a bit loud standing up and walking to Snape, to give her homework. 'And I said yes.' She said as she grabbed her stuff and walked away.

'Do you know with whom?' George asked Paige who shrugged.

'I have no idea.' She said looking back at her work.

'Who are you going with?' Fred asked, looking at her with an eyebrow raised.

'I... um…' Paige muttered.

'Sorry I don't know I... um...' George said, smiling.

Paige let out a nervous laugh, 'I'm going with Blaise Zabini.'

'WHAT!' Both Fred and George yelled.

'Misters Weasley.' Snape said. 'Quiet.'

'Sorry.' They muttered and got a bit closer to Paige.

'Blaise? Really?' George asked.

'Well I got a letter from my parents and they said I needed to take someone from Slytherin.'

'Since when do you listen to them?' Fred asked with a cocky smile.

'Ha Ha, you guys are really on a roll with jokes. I was under a lot of pressure when he asked me, a lot of Slytherins were there and they were almost in love with him.' Paige said quickly.

'Wouldn't you be doing them a favour if you said no?' George asked.

'Yeah, yeah. It was stupid I know; now get back to work.' Paige said strictly.

'Yes ma'am.' Fred and George said at once. Paige rolled her eyes and began working again. When she was done she stood up and gave her homework to Snape and walked back.

'You're leaving us?' George asked.

'Yeah, I need to write a letter to my parents thanking them for the dress, see you.' She grabbed her stuff and walked away.

Paige was standing in the Owlery with her letter in her hands. She sighed and looked for an owl she could use. Paige opened the letter and read it one more time. It was short with a thank you in it and how beautiful she thought the dress was. She didn't even end the letter with love, no, just her name.

Paige saw a gray owl close by and walked towards it.

'Hi, could you take this to the Prince mansion.' She asked the owl and put the letter on his paw. The owl bit her carefully and flew away.

Paige walked towards the door when Harry appeared before her.

'Paige.'

'Harry.'

They awkwardly passed each other.

'Watch it Harry, it's very slippery.' Paige warned him.

'Thanks.' Harry said as she began walking down the stairs.

Paige just took a few steps when Harry called her.

'Paige wait.'

'Yeah.' She asked, standing still.

'Um… I just wondered if you.' Harry said nervous. 'If you wantedtogototheballwithme?' He said very fast.

'Sorry I didn't get that.' Paige said with a questioning face.

'Um… I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the ball with me.' He said a bit slower.

Paige felt her heart almost break, how could she say no to him.

'Oh, um… Harry, I already got someone to go with.' She said walking towards him a bit. She felt stupid, she told him her and Blaise were nothing and now she was going to the Yule ball with him.

'Yeah, already someone, that's great.' Harry said nervously 'Fine, no problem. Okay good.' He said and walked into the Owlery.

Paige felt so bad, she really wanted to go with Harry.. She couldn't stop herself. 'Harry wait.' It just took him a second to run back.

'Yeah?' He asked.

'I'm really sorry, if he hadn't asked me I would have gone with you.' She said, biting her lip.

'Really?'

'Yeah, well bye.'

'Bye.' Harry said and she walked away.
