(Ophelia's POV)
"The Yule Ball" Snape starts
There were only Slytherins in the room, fourth year and higher. The boys were on the opposite side while our side was filled with only girls.
Draco, Blaise and Eliott were standing in the back row, Pansy and I were sitting in the front
"Has been a tradition of the Triwizard Tournament, since its inception" Snape drawls
"On Christmas Eve night, we and our guests gather in the Great Hall for a night of well-mannered...frivolity" he continues
"As representatives of the host school, I expect each and every one of you to put your best foot forward. And I mean this literally, because...the Yule Ball is, first and foremost..."
"A dance" the second those words leave his mouth, the room broke out in murmurs, Pansy and I rolling our eyes. I look to the opposite of the room, Blaise is whispering something to Draco, making him roll his eyes but smile.
"Quiet! The house of Salazar Slytherin has commanded the respect of the wizarding world for nearly ten centuries" Snape interrupts
"I will not have you, in the course of a single evening besmirching that name by behaving like a couple of idiots" he sneers
"I will explain no further, instead Professor McGonagall will take over" he says as he steps back
"Now to dance, is to let the body breathe" McGonagall starts
"Inside every lady, a secret swan slumbers longing to burst forth and take flight" McGongall says causing some of the boys to immaturely snigger
"And inside every man a slithering serpent ready to attack" McGonagall enthusiastically says
"Now this dance is mainly for 4th year and higher, but you are allowed to take someone in the younger years if you'd like" she grins
"So that means I can take my boy, Nigel right?" I ask. Pansy starts to laugh but covers it by pretending to clear her throat
"Precisely Ms.Mendoza" McGonagall smiles as if it was a normal question.
Laughing can be heard from the other side of the room as everyone darts their head over to Blaise and Eliott dying of laughter while Draco chuckles with his arms crossed and shaking his head.
"Boys, do you need to be removed?" McGonagall scolds
"No ma'am" Blaise says as he's bent over, trying to catch his breath
"This is your fault" Draco mouths pointing back and forth from me to the other boys, who are still recovering. I smirk and shrug my shoulders
"Now Professor Snape will take my waist" causing a bunch of woops and whistles to erupt from the boys side. Snape glares at the boys side making it go quiet in seconds.
As Professor McGongall and Professor Snape dance, I glance over at the boys side and Blaise and Eliott are humming along to the music and swaying back and forth
"Now stand" McGonagall instructs
I was one of the last girls to stand as the boys awkwardly sat there, reluctantly getting up
"Blaise come, pretend to be a girl" Pansy grins, quickly taking Blaise away
Eliott quickly walks away, finding the nearest girl
