Dancing Under The Stars

"Oh wow who sent it?" A girl asked excitedly.

"I dunno but isn't it beautiful?" another girl squealed close to Ginny's ear.

Ginny opened her eyes groggily to see her dorm mates circled around something she couldn't see.

"What are you all looking at?" Ginny asked sitting up in her bed.

"Oh Ginny who sent it?"

"Can you try it on?"

"I didn't even know you were going"

Ginny looked at them puzzled, "Woah woah woah! What's going on?"

"Who sent you the gorgeous dress of course?" a girl with a pigtail asked.

Ginny's eyes nearly popped out of her head as she saw the dress in all it's majestic glory hanging on the wall.

"Better close your mouth Ginny before you start drooling," A girl giggled.

Ginny stood out of the bed and walked over to the dress in awe. "It's beautiful," she whispered.

"I bet it will look even better on." The girl with the pigtail said grinning.

Ginny couldn't help it; she grinned too.

"You know Draco I think you owe me." Blaise said huffily.

Draco smirked, "Think of it as helping a friend."

"I'm a Slytherin. I don't do happy clappy friend things. Now you owe me." Blaise said rudely.

"Alright. I will get you the date with Luna. Though why you wanted to go with that crazy-"

"Hey I didn't say anything rude about little Weasel." Blaise interrupted.

"You just called her Weasel," Draco retorted.

"So do you!" Blaise said angrily.

"…. Oh yeah." Draco looked at Blaise, "Well only I am allowed to, so there."

"Yeah well I'm the only one allowed to call Luna crazy." Blaise responded.

"Fine."

"Fine."

Pansy rolled her eyes, "You two are so immature."

"Hey" Draco and Blaise said in unison.

Pansy looked at them with a raised eyebrow, "What? You're arguing about who can get smart to the girl they like? It's ridiculous. If these poor girls are going to be stuck with dolts like you for the dance, I might just go tell them your plans."

"You wouldn't," Blaise said eyeing her suspiciously.

"Oh yes I would." Pansy smirked looking at Blaise evilly.

"Come on Pans, we're just having some fun." Draco said shrugging.

"These are girl's feelings your playig with. I don't care if they are Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, no girl deserves to be treated how you fools treat them." Pansy flared as she closed her book and stomped off.

"Must be that time of the month," Blaise commented.

Draco nodded his head, "I've got a plan to kick in motion. I'll see you round Blaise."

Blaise waved as Draco left the common room. "I just hope everything goes according to plan," Blaise muttered quietly before making his own way to the Great Hall.

Ginny staredat her watch nervously. She had, much to her displeasure, not seen Harry that day as she had been late to breakfast and he was no where to be found at lunch. It was the last class of the day and after this she would be racing up to the Gryffindor Tower to change into her dress and meet Harry… That is of course if Snape would just get the lesson over with.

"Class dismissed." Snape spat as though the words were poison to his mouth.

Ginny and Melena ran out of the room giggling, "Really if the great git hates us so much, why does he always try and make us stay in their with him?"

"Who knows," Ginny shrugged, "I think he's just bitter."

"Umm Ginny" Melena said coming to stop.

"Yes?" Ginny asked.

"You never did tell me who you were going to the ball with…"

Ginny looked at her puzzled, "Why?"

Melena frowned, "Well from what it sounded like, it seemed you were going with Harry but…"

Ginny followed her gaze and saw Harry snogging none other then Pansy Parkinson in the shadowed corner. "What?" she mumbled confused.

"I'm sorry Ginny." Melena said comfortingly.

Ginny just gaped at the sight before her, "But he asked me…."

"It would seem you've been ditched," their friend Christine said coming up from behind to look at the display before them.

"I wouldn't count on that." Blaise said slyly as he put and arm around Ginny.

"What?" Ginny said jumping away from Blaise (who smirked)

"Well Weasley, maybe you should read that note again?" Blaise grinned and waved to them as he walked away whistling 'Footloose' loudly.

Ginny stared at her friends, "I've been such a twit. Of course!"

"Of course what?" Christine asked blankly, "And why in Merlin's name was that Slytherin singing footloose. Isn't that a muggle song?"

Melena nodded at Christine, "Yeah it is. Woah Ginny what are you doing?" she asked distracted as Ginny began to run down the hall.

"Draco Malfoy sent me the note and now I am going to make him pay!" Ginny screamed.

Melena and Christine looked at each other darkly, "She's lost it."

Ginny Weasley had it all planned out. She realised as soon as Blaise let slip that remark that she had been duped. She knew what Draco's writing looked like and it was nothing like the note she had received but Blaise had implied that Draco had written it and she had to believe him. After all there was no one else to choose from.

Now anyone will tell you that Ginny was never the best at planning evil deeds. Infact she was useless. Although she had always followed Fred and George on their little escapades, she could never actually think of the brilliant plans herself, or carry them through for that matter. Her evil plan included wearing the dress (because who would miss the chance in wearing a beautiful dress, even if it was purchased by a Malfoy), trying to look presentable (though she was going to need Melena's help with that) and then she was going to make Draco Malfoy jealous, (Hey I said she wasn't good at planning evil deeds.

So Ginny quickly changed into the dress with glee as she pictured Draco's face. Of course he had bought the dress for her but he had not seen it on her, which was an entirely different matter.

Melena walked in and smirked, "Well Ginny you're going to blow them away."

Ginny smiled, "It really is beautiful a dress. I actually feel pretty in it."

"Not pretty. Stunning!" Melena said enthusiastically. "Now let me get your hair and make up done and you'll be the belle of the ball."

Ginny stoodimpatiently in the ballroom. It was an understatement to say she was angry; she was furious. Not only had Draco played with her emotions but also the stupid smarmy git had not even turned up to the ball. After all the effort of buying her a dress he doesn't even show?

"Arghh I'm going to kill him! He always ruins my plans!" Ginny exclaimed exasperated.

Hermione looked at her concerned, "Ginny stop being so fidgety, you haven't danced once and-"

"I'm waiting for someone." Ginny growled.

"Who?" Hermione asked confused.

"Draco Malfoy the sneaky git, and if he does show his face he'd better watch it because I'm going to smack his sorry arse to the moon."

"I hope you're implying in bed." Draco said slyly from behind her.

Ginny jumped and blushed crimson to the very roots of her hair, "No I did not mean in bed and-"

Ginny could only stare. There was Draco Malfoy, in full dressrobes, sitting on his broom in mid-air in the ballroom looking completely unruffled. Ginny watched his face form the all-so-famous-Slytherin smirk as he looked at her.

"What are you doing?" she asked incredulously.

"Stealing you from the ball" Draco shrugged.

Ginny laughed as she took the hand he held out to her and jumped on the broom.

Draco gave a mock salute to the students in the ballroom who all stood open-mouthed as they stared at the spectacle. Neville dropped his glass on Crabbe's foot who didn't even seem to notice. Blaise and Luna grinned and gave them a cheery wave. Ron stood next to Hermione looking like he had just swallowed a vile of bubotuber pus and Severus Snape appeared to have fainted.

Draco laughed, "Let us go my lady"

Ginny giggled and wrapped her arms around Draco's waist as the sped off outside the castle window.

Draco slowed down as they came to the lake and smiled at her. "You look beautiful tonight."

And for once he was telling the truth. The dress was made of very soft forest green velvet. It was long and flared out slightly at the back. There was gold edging woven through with the dark green material in an elaborate design on the part of the dress that cut across her shoulders perfectly shaping her body, as it disguised her lack of womanly assets. She wore no jewellery and her hair was styled in the Grecian styles with curls that perfectly framed her face. Her eyes were given the smoky effect, bringing out the deep chestnut brown colour beautifully. Her lips were delicately shaded red, making them more kissable then ever. Ginny was indeed beautiful, looking like a goddes, rather then the tomboy.

"You had me worried there. I was afraid you were going ditch me." Ginny said quietly.

Draco smiled and tilted up her chin just like he had done those few days ago, "Well I remembered how much you liked those romantic heroes and to be honest I didn't feel like putting up with all the staring."

Ginny laughed, "Well I was just about ready to swear murder for you."

Draco leaned forward and kissed her softly on the lips, "I know. But you know Ginny; you should really leave the evil deeds to me. I don't think your plan would have worked."

Ginny looked up at him, "And why not?"

"Because I'm a Malfoy and we don't do jealous. We just cut out everyone else." Draco said before taking her into his arms and kissing her passionately.

After several minutes of passionate snogging Ginny looked up at Draco as she leaned into his shoulder. "You know I never got to dance."

Draco looked down at her smiling. "Well we can't have that."

He stepped away from her and bowed, "Ginevra Weasley, my fiery goddess. May I have the honour of your hand in this dance."

Ginny curtseyed and took his hand, "Of course you may kind sir."

Draco smiled and pulled her towards him as they began to waltz slowly.

Ginny leaned against his chest happily. Really things couldn't have turned out better. Even though everyone of her plans seemed to collapse in a big pile of poo, she had managed to achieve everything she hadset out to do. Instead of ensnaring Harry Potter, she had unknowingly ensnared Draco Malfoy. Instead of kidnapping Harry and kissing him senseless, she had ended up kidnapping Draco and being kissed senseless.

Then there was the ball. She had planned on dancing with other boys to teach Draco a lesson, but she realised that would have annoyed her more and how many girls did you know that could say they had been stolen from a ball on a broomstick?

To find herself in the arms of Draco Malfoy, dancing under the stars was more then she could ever have asked for when she first started out on this foolish mission. After all the embarrassment and confusion she had gone through these past few days, she would not take any of it back, because she was exactly where she wanted to be. In the arms of someone who loved her and who she loved back.
