The Secret Slytherin Queen

35- Yule Ball from Hell

Dani's POV
I might actually kill him. No I didn't care. Although a stabbing would look nice on him and that bitch. Fuck I had too many feelings. I was sober yet so violently angry seeing his tongue in that foul mouth.

"Everything okay?" George asked bringing me a red cup of juice, bringing my attention to my face scowling. I nodded and smiled. I drank some juice. "You're favorite right?" He asked. As soon as the liquid touched me tastebuds I felt like puking. I hated mango. "How'd you know?" I mused. I needed something to wash my mouth from the foul taste.

"Well Riddle gave me the hint. I didn't know you two where actually a thing." He stopped himself. Of course Riddle. He was always the damn problem. I cleared my throat. "Well we weren't a thing, it was more like a one time mistake." I tilted my head. I felt like I was crushing the plastic cup. I composed myself. I would not give that asshole the satisfaction that he made me jealous. George nodded. "Well anyway, want to go dance?" He asked me sweetly.

"Of course, lead the way." I grinned. Riddle left from that girl's side. Him and Draco were talking, alongside joined Luna and Blaise. Well that was a new development. George and I danced to a rock and roll song. It was fun. He actually had moves. "There you go George!" I laughed. He spun me around. I felt so happy in that moment.

"Want to go for a walk? Get some air?" He suggested. Why not honestly. "Sure."
He grabbed my hand gently and led us out of the hall.

Pansy was walking in. He silk dress was long and a part of it draped across her arms. The fabric hugged her curves perfectly. She look gorgeous. The silver glitter shimmered on her eyelids. "Hey Pans, everyone's inside." I nodded.

She looked like she was crying. George noticed the tension. "I'll be outside. Take your time." He offered us space. That was the sweetest thing a man had done. Actually respecting my space. I nodded.

"Pans what's wrong?" I pulled her to the side so we weren't in the middle of the staircase. She was panting, tears building up. "Well, Lorenzo ditched me. He stood me up. Draco told me to go with him but I said no, and I bet Lorenzo knows about me and Draco. I'm not too sure what to do now." She sniffled. That was going to be difficult to deal with. Just from the fact that Lorenzo was dead, and I couldn't tell her for obvious reasons.

"Well Draco is inside darling, he doesn't have a date." I caressed her cheek. Her eyes slightly lit up. "Oh. Well I was sure after I didn't show up he would get another girl. Um.. you know I'll go find Draco. Lorenzo doesn't deserve me if he doesn't want to talk." She blinked so much I was getting dizzy. "No honey he doesn't. Enjoy your night." She nodded. She walked away.

"Dani." I turned around at the sound of my name. Pansy stopped and was looking at me. "What's up Pans." I said. "Is Lorenzo inside?" She asked worried. I shook my head. "I haven't seen him." My answer seemed to please her as she lifted her dress and walked confidently into the ball room.

I walked outside. George was looking at the campus. It was chilly even here. "Hey are you cold?" He asked and removed his jacket placing it on my shoulders. That made my heart melt. "So Dani, how come we never hung out? Like before this?" He asked me. "Because she was stuck in Slytherin mode." Nott walked up next to us. Great.

Pansy's POV
"Look who came date-less." Draco smirked. I rolled my eyes. "I thought you were my date. Luna hi!" I turned my attention to her. She smiled so peacefully. "Hi Pansy, where's Lorenzo?" Everyone went quiet. "No clue, but I'm going to need a drink. A real drink." I clenched my jaw. Riddle handed me his flask. I took a long chug.

" I can't believe Dani would come here with George of all people." Draco shook his head looking at angry Riddle. I furrowed my brows. "Well since none of you blokes offered, she obviously chose the guy who asked." I rolled my eyes. Giving back the flask. I wasn't sure what was in the bottle but it was strong, I cringed at the taste. Dani briefly told me over breakfast about how George asked her. Riddle rolled his eyes. "I don't need to ask. It should be obvious." Riddle said without any emotion. Clearly he was wrapped up around her finger.
