Harry Potter and The Daughter of Sirius Black. [CedricxOc and DracoxOc]

The Yule Ball.

Third Person's point of view.

Harry sat in the common rooms, happy with his date, he was going with Cho. She had said yes, then again she was his second choice but he didn't care he kept up his end of the deal. Hugging his egg and staring into the fire, a commotion of noise drew Harry from his thoughts, sitting up he looked over the couch,

Only to see Ron as pale as a ghost practically being carried in by Rayvan and Ginny right behind them. "What happened to you?" Harry asked Hermione sitting next to them on the couch, "He just asked Fleur Delacour out." Rayvan said pouring tea and handing it to Ron.

"What did she say?" Harry asked leaning forward interested in the outcome. "No, of course." Hermione said, Ron shook his head, "She said yes!" Hermione gasped covering her mouth in surprise.

"Don't be silly, there she was, walking by. You know how I like it when they walk." He said to Harry, being a fellow boy nodded, "I couldn't help it. It just slipped out." Rayvan continued when Ron was forced to take a sit by his sister,

"Actually he sort of screaming at her. It was a bit frightening." Nudging him Harry asked, "well what did you do then?" "What else? I ran for it. I'm not cut out for this, Harry. I don't know what got into me." He said to his best friend, noticing the twins behind Harry, Rayvan went over to them, "girls I have a favor to ask."

Harry Potter's point of view.

Ron and I were coming down to the great hall, and Ron kept picking at his robes, "leave it alone." I said swatting at his hands, "poor girls. I bet they're sitting together in they're room crying their eyes out." Ron said leaning in my ear, I frowned,

"what are you talking about?" I snapped back. "Hermione and Rayvan, of course." I rolled my eyes and we meet up with Cho and Ron's date, Cho linked arms with me, and smiled. I blushed and prayed I didn't screw it up,

"Come on Harry why else wouldn't they tell us who they were going with." I smirked Ron obviously forgot that Rayvan and Cedric had gotten back together. I shook my head and just ignored his disbelief in the girls' abilities to easily get dates to this ball.

"She's beautiful." Cho and one of the Patil girls said looking behind us, turning I looked over and smiled, Hermione was indeed beautiful. Her hair was up in a French twist, her rose and blush pink dress were flattering on her, Ron's jaw hung, and dropped, even more, when Viktor Krum went to collect her at the bottom of the stairs.

Cedric turned the corner and stopped Hermione, I saw him ask for Rayvan and Hermione pointed to the stairs, I then realized it had gotten super quiet, turning I froze. There she stood, blood red skin tight dress,

Deep V and exposed back and shoulders, her hair curled and pinned away from her face. Her makeup beautiful. I felt my heart squeeze in my chest, coming down the stairs Cedric ran to take her hand, kissing her cheek, he lead her to the main doors.

With Cho on my arm we lined up and walked in, We were last Cedric and Rayvan were ahead of us, with Hermione and Viktor before them and Fleur and her date were first. In the middle of the floor we all formed a circle, I was so nervous I almost messed up.

Rayvan Black's point of view.

As the music started up, Cedric got nervous but I smiled and helped him through it. Letting him lead but making sure he didn't crash us into anyone, our dance was natural and smooth, after the fourth padaba, he grabbed my waist to hoist me up, before twirling soon other joined in, first it was Dumbledore and McGonagall then Igor and a woman in dark blue, doing another lift,

I couldn't help but giggle and threw my head back. Before Cedric set me down and we twirled once more before the padabas came back and we were switching hands. Slowly other couples joined in and started dancing but I just didn't care anymore I was having too much fun.

When the classical music finished a band struck up and everyone went nuts, Cedric and I moved more to the edge to avoid the elbows to the face as everyone jumped around to the music, I couldn't help but smile and grin as Cedric danced almost like he had two left feet when it didn't have practiced steps, sparing him. I asked it he wanted to leave. Nodding he took my hand and we escaped.

Going to the clock tower we looked out to the courtyard and watched the moon, "you are the most beautiful one here." He said into my ear his chest pressed into my back. His arms looped around my stomach,

"thank you for giving me a second chance. I don't know what I would have done." Smiling I turned around and faced him, and looped my arms behind his neck, stroking the back of his hair and neck, before leaning up to kiss him.

The music was still so loud I could hear it, pulling from me, Cedric smiled, "Finally music I can dance to, will you dance with me?" I nodded and went back to the great hall, and stepped onto the floor and he twirled me out then back into his chest,

leaning into his shoulder he held my hand and hugged my waist to his. He was so warm and comforting, I never wanted this to end. Even though my feet hurt and my knees were stiff I wished this would never end.

But it had been hours and it was time to go back to our common rooms. He walked me to the Gryffindor common rooms, kissing my cheek he stopped me before I went in, "wait here I want you to have this." Slipping a black banded ring with a dark topaz gem onto my middle finger.

"It was my mom's it would make me feel better if you held onto it for me." Jumping into his arms I kissed him on the lips before holding his head and kissing him all over. Blushing as red as my lipstick marks he stumbled to his common room.
