| POV: ELARA WEASLEY
These past few days have been absolutely wonderful. Since the time in the broom closet where Draco asked to be official, he's been acting different towards me. He's been acting happy. Almost all the time, Draco's been giving me hugs, random kisses on the cheek, neck and lips. Along with that, he gives various compliments and words like 'You look beautiful', 'mine', 'stunning'.
These make me feel happy— wanted.
Although I haven't told anyone yet— mainly because I'm scared of their reaction, they'll have to know eventually. I have a feeling Hermione and Ginny probably are sensing something since they caught us many times looking towards each other across the tables in the great hall. Luna, on the other hand— she knows everything. Last night she came to our dorm and immediately gave me a hug, congratulating that we're official now.
It's like she can sense almost anything that happens.
Back to right now, McGonagall has requested for everyone to be at the Great Hall for some exciting announcement she wants us to know right before dinner. So here I am, sitting alongside of Ron and Neville— all of us engrossed in a conversation of what she might have to say today.
"What if" Ron smirks, motioning a drum rolling on the table, "We are getting my hot dogs back!" At the end of the sentence, he lets out an excited squeal.
"That's probably not it Ron" Neville chuckles.
"Well then, what do you think it is Neville?" Ron turns his head, now facing him.
"Not sure, but I've been hearing rumors about a ball" Neville shrugs.
"A ball!" I shriek with excitement, the thought of wearing a ball gown.
We continue talking and guessing what possibly she would want to discuss with everyone. A couple of minutes pass away and McGonagall finally enters on the podium along with Snape, who stands next to her with the normal dull expression on his face.
"Good Evening everyone and thank you for being here. I hope you all are doing well with your soulmates— bonding and getting to know each other." She greets. Everyone start mumbling about their experiences, but one response is way louder than others.
"Yeah! My soulmate and I yesterday just bonded over body anatomy" A Ravenclaw snickers from the table.
Oh.
Ew.
"Anyways, as many of you already have heard some rumors, we will be having the winter ball a week before Christmas— which is in about three weeks. Now, I expect everyone to be dressed properly and we will have a dance preparation next week. I'll hand it over to Professor Snape now" She nods, looking at everyone for confirmation.
