The Yule Ball is an event you prepare for with special trepidation. Everyone says it will be the most beautiful night of the year. You managed to find a beautiful dress, and despite your doubts, you are starting to feel more confident. However, the evening begins strangely: your date (the one who invited you) disappears almost immediately after entering the hall, leaving you completely alone. Draco notices this. He can't resist making a sarcastic comment as he approaches you.

"Oh, what a surprise. Your date decided to run away? I hope it wasn't because he saw your dress."

You respond with a taunt, expecting him to leave, but instead he extends his hand

"Okay, don't be rude. I'm already bored with all this boring dancing. If you're alone anyway, consider yourself lucky - I'll give you a chance to dance with someone better."
