"As many of you know, the Yule Ball will be held at Hogwarts this Christmas." Stated Professor Mcgonagall.

"And I expect each and every one of you to do a perfect waltz to impress our friends from beauxbatons and durmstrang."

"Today, instead of learning transfiguration, we will be learning how to waltz."

"I would like everyone to get into pairs of two. If you have someone you fancy, you shall pair up with them."

Once she said that the Great hall was sent into an array of "ooos" and "ahs"

"Silence! I expect all of you to act as formal as you can can! Not like a babbling bumbling band of baboons!"

Y/n could hear Fred and George whispering in the background whilst everyone else was silent.

"You shall get into your groups of two now." And everyone went to look for their partner.

"Y/n L/n fancy a dance?" Draco said in a overly posh mock voice.

"Why yes, Sir Malfoy." She joined along. And they were sent giggling in unison.

That caused a lot of people to look over.

By a lot of people, I mean everyone in the great hall.

Professor Mcgonagall smirked. "Mr Malfoy and Ms L/n, I'd like you both to come up here please." She ordered, still smirking slightly.

Everyone was either staring in wonder or like Blaise Zabini wolf whistling.

"Go get her Draco!" He whistled. Which caused the Great Hall to erupt in laughter.

"Shut up Blaise!"

"Enough with your childish bickering. I'd like you both here to demonstrate how to do a proper waltz."

Draco visibly blushed because he knew what was coming. He'd taken a few waltzing classes when he was younger to know the basics.

"Mr Malfoy, I'd like you to put one hand on Ms L/n's waist and the other on her shoulder."

"Wha-"

"Mr Malfoy." She threatened coldly.

Draco sighed and did as asked. And stood in that position stiffly.

Y/n sighed and took control. "Malfoy, I know you know how to waltz." She then wrapped her arms loosely around his neck, which resulted in him blushing even more.

"Splendid." Professor Mcgonagall then put on some music. "You may start."

Then they waltzed around the empty space created for them. Everyone was watching in amusement. Even Professor Snape could be seen smirking slightly.

"Wonderful!" "Now I would like everyone to do the same with your partners."

Once everyone had danced a few rounds, It was now time for lunch.

***

"Y/n~" Padma teased in a song-song voice.

"What?"

"Mal-"

"Shut up!" Y/n snapped, furiously blushing.

"You should've seen him! He was all stiff and awkward and then you came in and was like-"

"Will you just learn to shut up!" Y/n banged her fists on the table, causing everyone to look at them.

"Why can't anyone mind their own babbling business!" She screamed, storming out of the Great Hall immediately after.

***

"Draco, you have to do something about that." Pansy whispered worriedly towards a shocked Draco.

"Yeah, and bang her afterwards as well." Blaise joked.

"Blaise! This is not the time!" Pansy whisper-yelled, giving him hard kick in the leg as well.

"Ow- that hurt!"

And Draco then decided to leave the great hall. As he was running to catch her, he'd noticed that everyone was trying to conceal tat the fact that they were staring at him.

"Y/n!"

"Y/n!"

He was calling out her name, hoping she'd hear him.

When he reached a deserted corridor, he found Y/n L/n, sobbing into her knees.

"Y/n? Are you okay?" He asked worriedly, though not really expecting a reply.

He sat down next to her, not really knowing what to do.

"Do you want to go back to your dormitory?" He asked softly.

"Can we go to yours ?" She replied, voice sounding slightly hoarse from the screaming and crying.

"A-alright." Draco stuttered. He didn't know if it would be a good idea since she wasn't a Slytherin, but you know what, fuck it, he's a prefect.

He then offered her his hand, which she accepted willingly. With that, they walked, hand in hand to the Slytherin common room.

The walk there was silent. But it wasn't an awkward silence, it was a good silence. A calming silence with a homely feel in the air, the feeling of being home, the feeling of being with someone you love.
