This is the continuation of last chapter

As we enter the party the chattering of students stops and all eyes lay on me because of my dress. Abraxas holds me firmly giving me a soft smile "Don't be nervous, they are looking at you because you look dazzling." He whispers in my ear and I force a smile. We both approach the treats table. Abraxas leaves me to talk with Lestrange and I look around, trying to spot Tom but he's nowhere to been seen.

"Looking for someone ?" Stephanie calls out from behind. I turn back and find her with a cute Hufflepuff boy and grin widely "Yeah, looking for you."

She rolls her eyes "Don't lie to me Y/n." She looks around, sighs, then looks back at me "He hasn't even attend the party and-" her eyes widen and jaw drops as she notices my dress "What...what...what are you " 

"It's different I know." I reply before she asks the question.

" Your leg." She point at the slit in my dress. I smile like an idiot and she hides her face with her palms in disappointment. Suddenly I feel someone behind me, I look at Steph who's not smiling anymore. 

I look at Steph who's not smiling anymore. "How much time will it take for you to turn around ?" Slightly shocked I turn around. I'm flying with happiness from inside when I see Tom in front of me. He didn't wear the common dress robes, instead he wore black trousers, a white long sleeve shirt with a black vest. 

My dress makes me perfect for being his partner but before I could realize Abraxas is standing beside me once again, Tom looks at his annoyed face and smirks. "Hi Tom." I say and he frowns at my bad attempt to sound disgusted by his presence. He looks at Abraxas who is trying his best not to look angry "Would you mind if I borrow Y/n for the Opening Dance ?"

Abraxas clenches his jaw but still sounds polite "Why don't you ask her ?"

I look at Abraxas and his eyes are begging me to say no. "May I ?" Tom bows and stretches out his hand in a polite way, I never thought he could be this polite. I place my palm on his, and he kisses it gently, I am surprised that his hard lips can be so gentle.

I glance back at Abraxas before leaving. He looks angry, this might be the first time I had ever seen him like this. Tom looks back at him too, unlike me he enjoys seeing him heartbroken.

We both take our position in the middle of the dance floor to open the first dance which only the head boy or the head girl can do.

"Just because I tried to ignore you for a moment doesn't mean that you will start hanging out with that arse once again." Tom says before the music starts.

"He's a good man."

He tries not to laugh at my reply and pulls my waist closer to him "But you are not a good girl." 

I grin at his compliment and we lock our fingers. The music starts, we both lock eyes and the crowd around me starts to disappear. The world starts to slow down as we spin across the dance floor. We are so close that I can feel the warmth of his body and hear his heart beating steadily. He is trying to pull me more and more closer. The song comes to an end and the other students join. 

Abraxas steps in the dance floor "Time to change partners." He says to Tom.

With one twist as if dancing he relinquishes me to Abraxas and leaves, I mean leaves the party. My smile faded and my heat sinks.

"We need to talk." Abraxas says it like an order. "Aren't we supposed to dance?" I ask him 

"I'm not in a mood of dancing anymore." He replies not in his usual charming tone.
