Evanora

I was nervous, I'm never nervous. But today was the ball. And yes...I still had no one, only like ten hours. We were now on Christmas break and everyone had to stay at Hogwarts. I was walking downstairs from DADA, when I bumped into some boy. He was from Slytherin, he had dark brown wavy hair. And pretty face. I swear I've seen him before....

'Hey, I'm sorry' I apologised

'Don't sweat it. It was my fault anyway' he smiled back

A nice Slytherin? Since when? I smiled weakly.

'Oh yeah, I haven't introduced myself, I don't believe we have met. I'm Theo, Theodore Nott. I know you who are, you're  the infamous Evanora Black' he smirked giving me his hand

I shook it civilly, then he wouldn't let go of my hand, he then kissed it. What a gentlemen. I started to blush. He let go of my hand as I draped to my side.

'The dance is tonight' I tried to make conversation

'Yeah..dances aren't really my thing. Besides I don't have anyone to go with, Daphne Greengrass and all the Slytherin's rejected me, saying that only wanted Draco' he scoffed

Why would anyone pass up Theodore Nott? He was like Cedric, pretty to look at. He had good posture and knew how to treat girls. He had a nice kind face and white teeth.

'Well..I don't like going with you, I haven't had any luck either' I hanged my head

'Well..that's new. But how? People would think of you as a first choice. I'm surprised' he said

'But I wouldn't mind going with you. But it will be weird, a Gryffindor and Slytherin going to a ball...we'd both be frowned upon' Theo exclaimed

'So? I don't care what my reputation is, nor what people think of me. I'm just going to have a good time.' I shrugged

'I'm surprised you're not in Slytherin either. I-I mean sure, I'll go with you. Erm, yeah. Thanks' he fiddled with his fingers

'Don't worry' I smiled

We both stood there for a moment, smiling at each other. I then heard Hermione's voice

'Evanora! Come on! You don't want to be late for Potions' Hermione shouted

I came out of my trance, I started to walk away and glanced back to see Theo still looking at me. I then found Hermione and walked to Potions.

Potions flew by in a blur, Professor Snivellus being boring as usual. Hermione then dragged me to our dorm because she wanted to get changed. Personally I couldn't be bothered to dress up. Even putting our uniform tires me out. And that's the bare minimum, if I had a choice of clothes, I'd just wear my pyjamas.

All the girls were squealing in our dorms, gossiping about their dates and the ball. Harry came up and so did Ron, I guess they were taking the Patil twins then.

I then got my..risky red slick dress on. Hermione had a beautiful pink ruffled dress, which got darker at the bottom. She got her wand and curled her hair and out it in an up-do. She out on some light makeup, not heavy like Puggy Parkinson. I on the other hand did the complete opposite, not the makeup side. I had naturally clear and beautiful skin. For my hair. Well I was going more with a 90's high ponytail, which worked well with the dress. I slipped my clear heels on and added gold jewellery. I added had a matte lip. And me and Hermione were ready for when it started.

I could tell Hermione was nervous, she had always been confident, but I've never seen her crack so much.

We were by the stairs, Hermione peeked out from behind it. And then turned to me
