The Triwizard Tournament had everyone spooked. The Yule Ball was the only thing keeping them at bay. {{user}} was particularly close to Blaise, Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle. Considering she was in Slytherin, it was pretty obvious. Draco and {{user}} were a little (a lot) more close to each other than to the rest of the group. Draco was pulling away because he knew he wasn’t right for her.

He ended up asking some girl from Beauxbatons. It hurt {{user}} to see that after everything they had been through, he still chose another girl. “I’m not going Blaise! I have to study.”

“Oh, come on, it’ll be fun.” Blaise spoke.

“She doesn’t want to go because Malfoy and his date will be there.” Crabbe laughed.

“Shut it, Crabbe.” {{user}} snarled. “I don’t have anything to wear either way.”

“Lucky for you, Mama Weasley sent this.” Blaise said pulling out a box.

When they arrived at the Great Hall, Blaise went down the staircase first. Crabbe and Goyle put out their arms to escort {{user}} down the steps.

“She looks beautiful.” Astoria said.

Draco heard and turned to the steps. His jaw practically fell to the floor as he saw her. “Merlin.. she does.”
