Yule Ball

Krystal's POV

I looked at the dress that my mom sent to me for the Yule Ball. I had just woken up.

"It's a beautiful dress", Luna said from behind, surprising me. "Y-yeah", I replied.

"I'm so...nervous oh my god", I confessed. "A lot of people are. It's just a dance though", a Ravenclaw said. I nodded my head.

TIME SKIP

I was really excited for the dance. It was obviously the main topic talked about during breakfast. I ate my food quietly listening to everyone talking. I looked to Draco, he was staring at me as usual. He saw me looking at him and gave me a smile. I smiled back.

Wow, his smile is pretty.

Snap out of it, Krystal. Can't believe you just said that

I gulped hearing my thoughts. I quickly looked down to my food.

TIME SKIP

Draco walked to me after I left the great hall, as usual. It's becoming a habit of his.

"Hey, babe", he greeted. I flushed red, after thinking his smile was cute just now I think I've become so embarrassed that when he calls me that it makes me flustered.

He was really close to me. Why was my heartbeat beating like crazy?! We've kissed before but just the thought of it made me red. I looked down and he furrowed his eyebrows.

He lifted my chin and looked at me directly in the eyes. The eye contact was honestly making me sweat and blush madly. Why?!

He noticed and smirked as he let out chuckle. He noticed he was making me blush and nervous. My heartbeat was really insane. My thoughts couldn't stop telling me to kiss him, he was so close. I looked at his lips, resisting the urge.

Wait what the fuck, Krystal?! What's happening to you?!

Draco noticed once more that I was looking at his lips and he chuckled again before slowly leaning in and finally closing the gap between our lips.

It was so sweet, it had been long since the time I kissed him, the time he stole my first kiss. I liked kissing him.

Ew what the hell, why did you just think of that, Krystal?!

My thoughts, heartbeats and feelings were fluttering weirdly. Like nothing else mattered and I was just melting into the kiss.

"Excuse me, Mister Malfoy and Miss Eleanor but snogging isn't allowed in the halls," McGonagall interrupted in a very irritated and angry tone. I immediately pulled away. "Sorry". So much for nothing else matters.

I looked at him smirk happily. He must've enjoyed that, knowing thay he had such control over me and seeing me basically pleading for a kiss. Made me feel like a slut.

Me and Draco rushed to Transfiguration, knowing we're late.

When we came in, a lot of students were snickering because they saw the incident just now. I rolled my eyes.

The school day went on, Draco regulary flirting with me.

It was so weird, knowing that he is my boyfriend.

The thought itself was disgusting. Yet a part of me didn't mind, actually feeling joy when he's around.

He's my boyfriend. Draco Malfoy. And I'm going to the Yule Ball with him. A mudblood.

I felt kinda sad knowing that he confessed to me but I just couldn't say it back...

TIME SKIP

It was time to get ready for the ball. I looked at the glamorous dress infront of me. Will I look good in it?

As if Luna read my mind she replied, "don't worry you'll look fantastic in it". She gave me a smile. "You and me both know you're the prettiest girl in school so no need to worry". Shs shot me a smile that comforted me.

It was a sparkly, strapless blue dress that's to the length of just a few inches above my knee.

I wore it, I loved it. It was so beautiful and I'm happy that it suited me. I brushed my hair and braided it to a crown. I added some other extras and looked at the final finish. "Wow", I said, surprised.

I was satisfied with how I look, truly. I used a spell to sparkle my hair, making it look like it's glittering naturally since Draco seemed to love that.

It was really strange knowing I wanted to please him. But I did anyways since he's my 'boyfriend'. And that I may be growing feelings for him.

I knew I had some sort of feelings for him days ago, a spark of chemistry or whatever.

But I just couldn't bring myself to actually say that I love him. It just doesn't feel right...yet.

I snapped out fo my thoughts and decided it was time to leave.

I entered the room, it was decorated nicely. The vibe of the room was also nice. A smile plastered over my face.

I scanned the room, but only to be greeted by a back hug that startled me. "Hey! Don't sneak up on me like that", I scolded before turning to face him.

"Sorry, couldn't resist", he chuckled.

He looked at me and bit his bottom lip, hiding a huge smile.

"You...look mesmerizing", he said.

"Really?" I sarcastically said.

He nodded, starting to blush.

"I see you did that thing again with your hair", he said as he stroked it. I nodded. "I know you're a sucker for it, Malfoy", I smirked.

"It's just hair. Calm down", he rolled his eyes and laughed before taking my hand and leading me to the dance floor.

"Let's dance, Krystal", he sweetly said. I nodded and we swayed left and right, holding each other.

I can finally see him properly. I stared at him. I didn't take a notice on how handsome he looked. I smiled at the sight, wow.

He smirked. "Your burning stare will create a hole in me, babe. Chill you eyes, I'm your boyfriend. You can see my attractive looks anytime you want. Don't you feel bad for the other girls?" He said, cockily as usual.

I rolled my eyes. "You're an annoying boyfriend", I replied.

He suddenly hugged me. "I love hugging you", he softly whispered. I couldn't contain my smile. I giggled and looked down, blushing.

"You mean so much to me. I love you. So much."

His words flustered me more. It made me happy. But then I started feeling guilty and sad because I couldn't bring myself to say those 3 words to him. I know he wants to hear it, but I can't just say it half-heartedly. That'd just be wrong.

In this case, Harry isn't the problem anymore. Not at all. I'm excited to see how his and Chalisa's relationship will turn out.

The problem was me. My feelings.

I haven't quite figure it out yet. It was confusing me. It conflicted me, a lot and made me feel down.

Of course, Draco noticed and sighed before hugging me even tighter, obviously trying to comfort me. He rubbed my back in circles before kissing my cheek.

"Again, you look really beautiful tonight, Krystal", he said. "It's Krystal clear to anyone", he said, making a horrible pun to lighten the mood. It definitely worked as i chuckled at his words.

"Let's...go elsewhere", he said as he glared to a direction before putting his hand on my waist and went to the other side of the room. Why?

I trailed the annoyed glare and saw that it was for some guys in the corner of where we used to be who were staring at me.

Oh.

He was jealous.

It was obvious...really obvious. He kept distracting me and showing too much affection. And he looked like he was about to murder those boys when he glances at them.

"Let's hope they get the message", he mumbled after shooting them another death stare. I was getting pretty annoyed.

I cupped his face and turned it to face me, I looked at him intently.

"Hey, stop looking at them. Stop focusing on them. I'm your date, Malfoy. Look at me", I said seriously, not breaking eye contact.

He smirked and was extremely satisfied and thrilled at what I said. He almost immediately kissed me. "Snog somewhere else! We're here to dance. It's a ball not a make-out session!" someone yelled. We pulled away, flustered at how long we were kissing. We were basically having a heated make-out session.

The night continued but soon faded away to the end of it.

"Thanks for tonight. I enjoyed it", I smiled at Draco. He smiled back and hugged me before saying goodbye.

I was walking back but not a few seconds later, I was attacked by a back hug. "Awh, Draco", I chuckled. "Sorry, just one last time", he said, smiling as he buried his face on the crook of my neck. "Good night", he said before letting me go. I waved at him before successfully going to my dorm. "What a night", I sighed.

Me and Draco talked about lots of things, random things. They were nice and friendly convos. He'd shoot me with compliments every one 30 minutes or so which I ended up blushing at. It made him look very charming.

Wow, am I really in love with Draco Malfoy?!

"Agh! I...I'm falling for him. I might as well already say I love him", I frustratingly groaned. "But...why can't I say it?! Why is it so hard?! What's wrong with you, Krystal?!"

I already knew the answer. I was doubting my feelings towards him. I don't want to say I love him and then say I don't really love him the next days. I didn't want to break his heart, not one bit.

The questions and guilt rushed through my mind, stressing me out that I ended up falling asleep.
