Christmas was dawning near. And Draco repeatedly teased Laura about Jillian being her girlfriend .
It was the last day of the term before Christmas holidays . Mostly everyone was staying back because of the Yule Ball . Laura was walking down to the common room when she heard someone whistling she knew who it was but still turned to face the person , of course non other than the Draco Malfoy . 'What do you want ?' Laura asked in an irritated voice . Draco smirked playfully 'You really want to know dont you ? I want a k-' Laura cut him off 'Ya ya I know , but make ot sure you are not getting one 'with a smirk . Draco's smirk faded 'you didn't even hear it properly '. Laura turned around and started to walk towards the common room with Draco following closely . 'To be honest I don't even want to . ' 'Lets not talk about that , so who are you going to the yule ball with your girlfriend ?' Draco asked smirking .'I don't have any girlfriend , make it clear . ' she snapped with a glare . 'I am not going to the ball now thank you have a good day .' she said sarcastically while running towards her dormitory .
That evening Laura went to the astronomy tower to meet holtzmann . When she went to the tower she saw Jillian waiting , which is very unusual . 'Hey ' greeted Laura 'hey ' replied Holtzmann . 'How was your day ?' she asked the brunette . 'Uh now thats a typical question Malfoy was ... uh nevermind and it was as usual and yours ?' asked Laura . 'Nothing special tho , who are you going to the ball i bet with loads of guys asked you didn't they ?' said Jillian with a sad smile . 'Not really I'm actually not going to the ball .What about you ? ' Laura replied . Holtzmann was shocked 'W-what you're not going to the ball ?' asked Holtzmann . 'Yeah ' said Laura . 'Sowouldyouliketogototheballwithme i mean as friends of course 'Jillian said blushing . 'Oh it's really sweet of you , but I don't like to go to balls and parties .' said Laura . Jillian pleaded her with puppy eyes . 'Ok ok I'll think about it .'
