"I have been told that, thank you, My lady." He grinned at the girl in his arms, on his shoulder as he twisted more slowly, the beat slowing down to a small, more peaceful beat.

`I'm sure you have been told that, by many other girls who like you as much as I do' she replied and smiled. But her smile vanished in a second as she realised that she had said `as much as I like you'. Going a deep beetroot red, she tried hard to hide her mistake. `I meant, your sense of humour.'

"Don't hide it!" He laughed at the blushing. "Very nice compliment, really." He whispered in her ear and whirled her around.

Ginny turned a deeper red as Achilles caught her trying to hide her mistake. `Don't laugh' she said, slightly cross with him. She did not consider this laughing matter. She was relieved as he did not say anything mean. He whirled her around and she looked into his blazing blue eyes. This time she didn't feel like looking away.

Draco grinned. "I'm not laughing, simply chuckling." He chuckled, true to his word and looking into her eyes as well.

Ginny smiled as he chuckled. He looked back into her eyes. She gave a sigh and kept looking into his eyes. She was now lost in his eyes.

Draco was wondering who this was. Much better than whoever this was in real life.

"Tell me, what do you see in me?" He asked, her hand in his and twirling, once again.

Ginny could make out some of his personality through his eyes. `What I see in you? Well, you are humourous and fun to be around. And you know how to please a girl like me. But your eyes are cold. I don't think you are cold. Or you might be, but deep inside you are pretty kind and caring.' Ginny spoke what she felt about him. Even if he was different than what he seemed, she didn't care. This was the guy she liked. Or liked a lot.

"I look cold, huh? My eyes?" He blinked. "One thing I have to work on, I guess." He smiled and bowed as the song ended.

"A pleasure dancing with you, Miss." Draco kissed her hand as he bowed once more.

`I did not mean to offend you!' Ginny assured Achilles. Ginny felt like moaning as the song ended. She had really enjoyed the dance and did not feel like dancing with anyone else now. Not even Dean. She blushed as he kissed her hand once more and she bowed. `I loved dancing with you too!' She held his hand for a minute and smiled, not wanting to let go. Then she leaned over and kissed him on the lips.

Dean didn't notice that everyone had left the common room. He quickly ran down to the great hall and saw two couples already there. He sat down at a table trying to think of where Ginny was. Then he saw it, it was the dress Ginny bought from Hogsmeade! She was kissing another guy? What?

Parvati walked towards a table where a guy was already seated.she hadnt taken her mask out."um can i sit here?or is it taken?"Parvati asked as she sat down.
she looked at the guy staring at the girl kissing some other guy...she looked at the guy and there was something about the guy which was very similar...she couldnt get it though...was he by any chance Dean?
no that cant be,he must be with Ginny Parvati thought.whoever he was she hoped that he hadnt recognised her.she wasnt with a date so atleast she could enjoy by the guys keeping on guessing who she was.
"no date?or waiting for someone?"the girl asked the distantly similar guy

"I don't...I don't know right now. No date I suppose." Dean said shaking his head staring at the table. "You?"

"me neither" the girl in the mask said and was seriously trying to make out who she was talking to

"You have a name?" Dean asked just trying to think about something other than Ginny.

Parvati quickly thought about it...oh oh....i havent thought of a name to disguise myself,damn and then she stuttered and said,"um...no...but you know you can call me the first masked girl,well one of your friends"pointing at a boy whom she knew as Neville cause she helped him disguise"he called me the first masked girl so may be i will stick to that as my introduction and if you really want to know my name then you will have to keep guessing" the girl spoke confidently.she didnt know who she was talking to but whoever he was she was having fun in making him guess her...but somewhere she felt she knew him,knew him well...

"I see how it goes. I've got to work for this. Okay uhm...Cindy?" Dean said pulling a name out of the air.

The girl giggled as the guy in front of her gave a typical stereotypical girly name.she even thought if ever a girl with such name existed in Hogwarts..."no..."

"Worth a shot. Okay, let's think of people I know...uhm...Lavender?" Dean asked seriously doubting it, Lavender didn't seem the type to be so quiet.

The girl laughed out aloud"well not at all there mister" she said but her heart raced nonetheless,now he knows you Parvati, he is starting from the people whom he knows, i bet you will be caught she thought but she encouraged him nonetheless"go on you will know me some day atleast" she teased

"Aw come on, this is hard....hint?" Dean asked desperate for anything at this point.

Parvati shook her head and giggled"well if i give a hint it will become easy, just one i guess i was with you all in DA"Parvati said.she knew that there were many people in DA but she wanted this guy to come up with the answer.somewhere she felt that he was Dean the way he spoke and his voice was quite Dean like and she went red thinking about him


Neville saw quite a few couples dancing as the music began to play.he sighed and looked around if he could be any chance spot Luna or her look a like.he knew she would be in a mask and that would make it even more difficult for him.he wasnt thinking of dancing with anyone else.he looked around and saw the first girl chatting up with some guy...

Luckily for Dean he remembered how many girls were in the DA as opposed to guys. 13. Unlucky. It wasn't Ginny or Hermione. He remembered their dresses. It wasn't Lavender either. Almost half weren't at the school anymore because they graduated. If he was right that left Hannah, Susan, Luna, or one of the twins. "Luna?" He asked again.

"oh honestly if Luna were here she would have recognized Neville out there immediately" the girl said pointing to the guy in the pony tail who was sitting quite sukingly
"she can recognize people fast even if they are disguised i guess, especially Neville" she said
"well um...while you keep on guessing would you mind to dance?" Parvati asked unsure what if the guy's date comes up angrily at her but she was taking the risk.she wanted to confirm her thoughts about who this guy was...

"Good point." Dean agreed. "Wait, you want to dance with a guy you don't know quite yet? Alright." He said grinning behind his mask. "Uhm.....Hannah Abbott?"
