Continue Story (I copy and paste from internet) - Chapter 12 - 'LOVE SHOULD COME WITH A WARNING'
CHAPTER 12
Weeks past and Draco and Cassandra hadn’t been able to share moments like the library since then. Though they would pass notes or owls to one another. When asked who it was from they simply said their parents. Ginny had been a little kinder towards Cassandra after a talk from Harry, though she still didn’t trust her. That didn’t bother Cassandra, it was only a matter of time before Ginny gave in and trusted her. Cassandra's main goal was to get close to Harry and hopefully Ron and Hermione. Ever since the night Harry and her had fallen asleep on the couch together they seemed closer. It was now a few days before Halloween and the first Hogsmeade trip of the year. Cassandra walked down the stairs holding a small handbag, she wore pale blue jeans, black trainers and a warm jumper that hugged her figure but not too much. As she put the handbag on her shoulder she looked up and noticed Harry by the notice board. "Hey" Cassandra said walking over to him. "What’s going on?" she asked with a small smile. "Hey, just reading this, apparently to celebrate Halloween this year they are having a feast for all years and for years six and seven a masquerade ball" he said looking away from the notice to look at Cassandra. "That sounds fun" she said with a smile and stood next to him to read the notice. "Where is everyone?" she asked curiously. "Oh Hermione and Ron went off earlier and Ginny is with Dean" he said looking at the floor for a moment. Cassandra looked at him when he mentioned Ginny. "You ok with that?" she asked placing her hand on his shoulder. Harry looked at her; "Yeah if she can move on so can I" he smiled slightly. Cassandra smiled at him, "Of course, so where do you want to go in Hogsmeade?" she asked. "Well Hermione said to meet in the Three Broomsticks around 1 so anywhere really,” he said.
The idea of a Hogsmeade trip excited Cassandra a little; being at Beuxbatons meant that she wasn’t able to go to Hogsmeade very often. After grabbing a quick bite to eat, Harry and Cassandra went to Hogsmeade. Harry showed her the Shrieking Shack, Honeydukes and the shop owned by the Weasley twins Fred and George. They then went to meet Hermione and Ron who had already got themselves butterbeers. "Its ok Harry, I'll get ours its the least I can do for showing me around" Cassandra said looking at him and went to the bar. "Two butterbeers please" she said with a smile. Cassandra handed over the correct amount of sickles, took the two bottles and went over to Harry and the others.
Ron and Hermione smiled at her. "How do you like Hogsmeade?" Hermione asked Cassandra, even after a month and a half she was still curious about Cassandra. "Its great" she replied "Do you know anywhere I can get a mask for this ball?" she asked curiously. She would look rather ridiculous turning up to a Masquerade ball without a mask. "I know a shop, not far from here, they do dresses too" Hermione replied smiling. Ron had gotten the sudden urge to remain silent, considering the last ball they had gone to didn’t end well. "Do you want to go with me? I was supposed to go with Ginny but she is busy with Dean, apparently they are an item now" she said taking a sip of her butterbeer. "Should we go now before we run out of time?" Cassandra asked not wanting Harry to feel uncomfortable. Hermione nodded, they finished their drinks then got up to leave and came face to face with Draco and his goons. "Isn’t this a surprise to see you here" He said looking Cassandra up and down. "Not really Draco" she said crossing her arms across her chest. "I only wanted to know if you and the misfits had found dates yet,” he said coolly with a smirk. "They have names and no we haven’t yet, I only found out about it this morning" she replied "If you'd excuse us Hermione and I have to go" she said walking out with her.
Ron and Harry had overheard them talking and looked away when Draco turned around to go to the bar. "Who are you asking?" Harry asked before drinking some of his butterbeer. "Oh erm..." Ron looked at the table and went a little red. "I was thinking about asking Hermione, you know after all that trouble at the last ball, what about you?" he asked wanting to get the topic of discussion away from him. Mainly so his cheeks would stop going so red. "Oh, not sure, I think possibly Cassandra" Harry said looking at him. "Really? Why?" Ron asked curiously. "Well I cant go with Ginny and she is a nice person and a good friend" he replied before drinking more of his drink he glanced out of the window and noticed Cassandra and Hermione looking into the window of a shop. Was that the real reason he wanted to go to the dance with her? Because she was a friend, he sighed as he watched her.
