— "YOU REALLY LOVE  that chocolate cake.", said Ella with a small smile, looking at Draco who was currently eating the sweet in a fast pace.

"No wait. You adore it.", she laughed as her elbows met the wooden table. Draco shrugged and continued to savor the cake.

"Want some?", Ella shook her head smiling a little at his caring question.
"I'm... done.", Draco wiped his mouth with a napkin and placed it back on its belonging place.

"Let's go. We have so many things to do!", Draco was in a good mood that day, as he wordlessly took Ella's warm hand in his cold one. Ella was so happy. She was smiling so brightly as the guy beside her didn't care that everyone looked at them with confused expressions.

Also Ella didn't care because for once she was so happy that—

"Princess?", they both turned around at the voice they heard coming from behind them.
It was Ron Weasley and behind him Hermione Granger who covered her face with a huge book, in embarrassment.

"Ron, remember what happened when you asked Fleur Delacour in front of her French friends!", Hermione hissed.

"It won't be that bad, now. She thinks I'm funny.", Ron nervously said and stood up from the Gryffindor's couch.

"Ronald, she's the Princess.", Hermione fought back.

"And she's nice.", he rolled his eyes, and looked for a lost flower in the common room.

"And she's apparently dating Harry's enemy, you panini head!"
"Malfoy?", Ronald turned around with a confused face, letting the flower he held fall slowly down.

Hermione nodded.
"It's just a rumour- It might not be even true. And now I'm going before she gets asked by anyone else.", Ron left the room frustrated as Hermione sighed falling back on the couch, newly sad because he couldn't see that the answer was right in front if him.

"And what might you want, Weasley?", Draco hissed, his hand squeezing Ella's, his body moving in front of hers.

"That's none of your bloody business, Malfoy.", Ron responded bravely.

"Then it's also not hers. C'mon Ella.", honestly, Ella didn't want to deal with other problems, when she simply wanted to be concentrated on the plans Draco planned for them.

"Would you like to be my date for the Ball?", Hermione covered her mouth quickly at Ron's question and the Great Hall fell in silence around them, as their ears were focused on the four people by the door.

"I, uhm, let's see... Ehm, bye Ron.", Ella looked at Ron briefly and gave him a little smile. Draco pulled her away, walking out of the Great Hall.

"Ron!", Harry Potter joined his friends and looked at Draco with hatred in his eyes.

"Draco!", Ella hissed to him as the hand pulling started becoming painful. "What's it with you?"

"You wait in your room— I have to finish something quickly."

"I thought we had plans—"

"Don't be difficult, Ella.", he couldn't even put in words how pissed off he was. She gave Weasley a maybe. A maybe. She would go to the ball with him? He had no right to be graced by her presence — to even talk to her. He should've asked sooner. He should've risked it. As her friend. My thoughts sound pathetic, he thought.

Draco walked to the bathroom, soon discovered that Potter was behind him as he took sharp turns in order to either lose him or to let some space in between them. Beside Harry's footsteps, too recognizable sound of heels was heard and Draco cursed under his breath at the Princess' stubborn behavior.

He quickly entered the bathroom and took off the sweater that covered his white shirt and threw it away. Harry also entered the bathroom and locked the door with a spell. The blonde boy didn't dare to turn around as his breathing became more difficult to control.

"It was you, wasn't it? What a stupid move you made, Malfoy. Trying to kill your own girlfriend—"

"Petrificus Totalus!", Draco shouted, pointing his black wand at him.
"Protego!", Draco hid behind the doors as Harry did the same, thinking carefully about the next spell he'd shout at him.

Ella's heels became unbearable and she questioned herself more than once why she still wore them. Her dress was heavy and as she was about to continue going straight ahead, she heard shouting from her right and guiltily assumed it was the two boys.

"Draco!", she tried to push the door open as she heard other spells coming from the other side.

"Experliarmus!"

"Draco! Draco!", Ella shouted and at the same time, she wondered why no one was helping her in any way.

The door suddendly opened and Ella almost fell on the floor as the motion took her by surprise.
Draco ran in front of her and as he was about to say something to her, only one thing was heard.

"Sectumsempra!"

Draco covered Ella's body with his and with that, they both fell on the floor and Draco's torso started bleeding, making the water underneath them a light pink colour.
