chapter 20 - The Christmas Ball

Jade pov.

***time skip to Christmas morning***

I wait patiently for Draco to arrive at my Dad's house. He said he had something to give me. Turns out I have a gift for him too. My father gave me a few things for Christmas and they were very nice, but I am curious to see what Draco bought for me.

As the agonizing wait continues I suddenly hear the door bell ring. In an instant i'm on my feet and racing down the stairs. I trip and crash into the front door with a large thud. I groan and get to my feet.

I had just uncerimoniously crashed into a door when my boyfriend is most likely on the other side. I open the door while rubbing my now sore head. On the other side is Draco who is holding a large box in his hands.

I let him in the house and he sets the box on the floor and picks me up by the waist making me squeal with laughter. I peck Draco on the lips and he sets me on my feet. "Merry Christmas Love" he says with a heartwarming smile. "Merry Christmas Draco" I reply with a smile.

I lead Draco to the lounge and he sets the box by the tree. I fetch his present from under the tree. it's a small square box wrapped in green with a silver bow. I know ironic. I pass it to him with a smile and he takes it in his hands.

I watch carefully as he unwraps the box and reveals a gold wrist watch with our names engraved into the underneath of the clock face and then he also pulls a small box from his pocket. He smiles and passes it to me.

I take it curiously and slowly unwrap it, opening it soon after. When I see whats inside I gasp and cover my mouth with my hand and I feel my eyes mist up. Inside the box were two rings. Promise rings to be exact.

One is thin banded and there is an emerald set in the shape of a heart alongside a ruby set in the same shape that is overlapped by the emerald. The second ring is a slightly thicker band and has Draco+Jade engraved on the inside.

I lift my teary eyes to look Draco in the face. He is smiling. I throw myself into his arms with a cry of joy. He got the both of us promise rings to show how much we love each other. I'm so happy right now i could burst with joy.

"Thank you for the Watch Love. It's Beautiful, just like you" Draco Murmurs in my ear and I blush from his compliment. "Thank you for the ring Draco" I reply nuzzling my face into his neck and wrapping my arms tightly around him. He chuckles. "Anything for you" he says and I pull my face from his neck as he then pulls my face to his and kisses my lips.

I pull away first and Draco smiles. "That's not the only gift from me Princess" he says with a smirk. The way he called me Princess made my heart beat faster in my chest. I turn my head and look at the large box. I look back to him and he nods his head. I smile brightly and go to the box.

I open it up and inside is a beautiful rose colored dress. it has beige and many different tones of rose and softer beiges. there are beige heels and a silver Tiara with small rubies set into it, along with diamonds. I feel spoilt rotten by him. All I gave him was a watch and my Jade pendant, that I've had since birth. I put the promise ring on my finger and Draco does the same.

Draco smiles at me. "Do you like them?" he asks me as the smiles falls from his face. "I love them Draco, but you are spending too much on me. I can't accept these" I say feeling forlorn. Why can't I just be the good girlfriend and let him spoil me? "Yes you can and you have to. My family has as Christmas ball every year, and you are my plus one. its formal so I bought you a dress" Draco says Strongly. I sigh. "Okay. I will accept the gifts and I will gladly go as your plus one" I reply with a smile.

After Draco, my father and I had lunch, Draco left and I started getting ready. You know like a nice long scented bath. Doing my hair. Doing my makeup. Putting on the dress and making sure that I look very nice for the evening.

After a two hour long Rose scented bath I got out, dried off and got into my robe which reaches just below my ass. I wrap my hair in a towel and put my slippers on my feet. There is a sudden knock on my door and I open it to see my Hair dresser Irene. She has a case of supplies with her.

I let her in the room and show her the dress so she can make a hair style that works for the outfit. An hour later Irene is finished with my hair and it looks amazing. I bid her goodbye and she leaves the house.

I sit in front of my vanity table and do my makeup. I brush on my gold eye shadow, on my eye lids. I put on some light foundation and a bit of rose blush on my cheeks. I add some gold eyeliner and a light layer of clear strawberry lip balm. I also put on some mascara.

makeup done I put on the dress and get my dad to do up the back of it, since it is a lace up back. Then I slip on the heels and sift through my jewelry box for a necklace and a set of earrings. I pick my Gold chained necklace with a dragon pendant with ruby eyes and a set of golden earrings with red crystals.

Now I study myself in the full length mirror on my wardrobe. the gown I am wearing fits snugly and hugs my waist showing my curves. The dress is a true ball gown. I twirl and the skirt fans out in a wide circle. I giggle. looking back in the mirror I smile. I do look beautiful. I turn my attention to the crown Draco bought me. I put it on my head and it just finishes the outfit perfectly.

The clock strikes 7 and the doorbell rings. "Jade. Draco is here!" my father calls to me. "coming!" I call back and take a deep breath. I grab my clutch and slip my wand inside it. it fits thanks to the extension charm on my bag.

I descend the staircase, lifting the skirt of my dress so I don't trip. Draco is staring up at me with a wide smile. I reach the bottom of the stairs and take Draco's hand in mine. I hug my dad goodbye and tell him I'll be home tomorrow. That's why i had the extension charm on my clutch in the first place. It has my change of clothes for tomorrow.

Draco and I head out the front door hand in hand. We walk to an alley way where Mr. Malfoy is waiting. he smiles as he sees us. "Draco, Jade" he says and takes Draco by the arm. Then in an instant we are in Malfoy manor.

Music is playing and there is a large group of people in the halls. Draco and I head to his room so I can put my clutch in his room. As we head down stairs Draco grabs my waist and pulls me flush against him.

I look up into his eyes. Love is shining through them. He kisses my lips passionately and I take a second to respond. I wrap my arms around his neck and his arms wrap tightly around my waist. Draco pulls away first grinning.

We now walk to the ball room that is in Malfoy manor. Quite a surprise actually. The Malfoy's hardly look like the family who hold Christmas balls. The music stops and everyone turns and stares at me and Draco.

I look around the room and everyone isn't nearly as dressed as I am. The music starts up again and Draco pulls me to the middle of the dance floor. He puts a hand on my waist and takes my hand in his other one as I place my hand on his shoulder. We start to waltz and I can't tear my eyes from Draco's.

"I love you Jade" Draco says to me. I feel my heart give a squeeze in my chest. "I love you too Draco" I reply and he spins me around, making my dress fan out. I'm pulled back to Draco and my body comes flush against his.

The rest of the night is spent dancing and Draco and I eating and drinking soft drink here and there. After the party ends I head upstairs to Draco's room and I take off my heels and the tiara. I flop on his bed, not being bothered to change. Draco quickly changes in the bathroom then I brush my teeth and crawl into bed. Draco lays next to me and wraps an arm around my waist.

We fall asleep in a few minutes after we murmur our goodnight to each other. Then all I see is the blackness underneath my eye lids and the dream come to life. i drift off to sleep in Draco's arms, feeling safe and warm.
