Draco had been fidgety and restless throughout his Charms class. He couldn't focus with the thought of the Yule ball coming up in his mind.

Countless girls had already asked him to be his date except the one he wanted to go with. Merlin, you were infuriating.

Couldn't you see that he wanted to go with you? Couldn't you see the way he rejected every single girl who asked him out in front of you? How he would only make an effort to talk to you? Yes, you were pretty good friends and had only been that for as long as he could remember, but wasn't it obvious?

Draco clenched his jaw as he watched some Gryffindor kid try and ask you about the assignment they had been given. He knew that he had to take matters into his own hands before someone else asked you.

So he grabbed one of the paper cranes Cabbe and Goyle were folding, scribbling down something in the notes before placing a charm on the paper bird.

He watched intensely as the paper crane flew over to you landing on your textbook before unfolding itself and revealing the writing:

"Yule ball together? - D."
