3rd Person
Ron, Hermione, and Harry sat in the gryffindor common room playing a game of truth or dare. After the first triwizard challenge, Harry was desperate for a break, needing something less serious to occupy his mind.
"Hermione, truth or dare?" Ron asked to which Hermione replied with truth. 
"Do you have a date to the yule ball?" 
She nodded and the two boys looked at each other in surprise.
"Harry, truth or dare?" Hermione continued, changing the subject. 
"Dare," the short-haired brunette responded.
Hermione smirked, "Since we're on the topic of the yule ball, I dare you to ask Draco Malfoy."
Harry stared at the curly-haired girl with dismay, "you're joking."
She laughed and shook her head, "nope, i'm not."
"I'm not doing that."
"You have to man, it's the rules," Ron said and Harry glared at him. 
"Fine but he's going to say no."
~The next day~
During potions class, Harry and Draco were paired together to which each scowled and requested a new partner but Snape refused. Harry looked over to Ron and Hermione who looked at him expectantly.
The two sat down and deciding to get it over with, the gryffindor, not meet the others eyes, asked the question, "do you have a date to the yule ball?" he mumbled.
"What was that Potter, I can't understand your mumbling," Draco responded, reading the instructions and pouring the first liquid into the cauldron. 
"I asked if you had a date to the yule ball," Harry replied, beginning to get irritated at the situation. 
The slytherin glanced up at Harry, his eye brow raised, smirking "Why, did you want to ask me?"
Rolling his eyes, the other stated, "That wasn't an answer but yes, I suppose I did, but if you're going with someone, I won't bother."
"Potter and Malfoy, can your conversation not wait until after class?" Snape asked from behind the duo, making them jump.
They both muttered an apology and continued to work.
It was a few minutes before Draco spoke, "Considering I don't have a date, I suppose I can go with you."
From a few tables over, Ron cheered and when the class looked at him, he quickly said, "Erm, our potion turned purple...yay?"
After class, the two went their separate way, confused on how they'd gone from enemies to each others date to the yule ball in a single class.
Ron and Hermione approached Harry, grinning, "I didn't think you'd actually do it," Ron remarked.
"Or that he'd accept," Hermione added.
Scoffing, the short haired brunette kept walking, forcing the other two to run to keep up, "This feels wrong yk. Even if it is Malfoy, asking him out on a dare seems cold, I don't want to play with anyone's feelings."
"So what?" Hermione asked, "you're going to back out?"
Shaking his head, Harry replied, "of course not, that'd be a dick move. I'll make sure he has a good time, and who knows, maybe I will too."
"Maybe you'll get a boyfriend," Ron smirked before Hermione elbowed him, signalling that he shut his mouth. 
~The night of the yule ball~
Draco fiddled with his tie in the slytherin common room, until Pansy came over and fixed it, "I don't understand why you're going with Harry Potter of all people?"
"I think i'm more confused than you," he responded before looking in the mirror, "do I look ok? Should I bring him a gift or something? Do you know what he likes?"
Rolling her eyes, Pansy went back to doing her makeup, "you look fine. Normally, i'd suggest that you bring your date a bouquet or at least a flower, but seeing as it's the night of the ball and you don't have anything, you'll probably have to go empty handed and hope for the best."
~At the ball~
Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked down the stairs to the ball, the lights twinkling overhead. Hermione left to go find her date and eventually Harry was alone after Ron left. In his hand, he held a single blood red rose, "Gryffindor colors? Really Potter?" came a voice from behind him and he whirled around, coming face to face with Draco Malfoy. 
They were so close, Harry could smell the cologne of his companion and he backed up, "I wasn't thinking about that, would you have preferred a white rose?"
Leaning in closer, the other boy took the rose and replied, "I was teasing, perhaps I'll buy you a white roses on our next date to return the gesture."
The brunette turned away, searching for his friends for guidance, but they were no where in sight.
"Let's dance," Draco said, taking his hand and leading him to the ballroom floor.
The two waltzed along side the other triwizard competitors but all eyes seemed to be on them, two enemies suddenly dancing together, wasn't that a sight.
The audience was also watching Harry misstep the whole time, continuously stepping on his partners feet. A humorous smile appeared on Malfoys face when the dance was done and he laughed, "if I would've known what a rubbish dancer you were, I wouldn't have accepted you as my date." 
"I said I was sorry," the other groaned, "let's go get food or something, I don't feel like dancing anymore."
After the duo got bored, they left the party to go to the slytherin dorms where it was empty and quiet.
They sat in the common room on a luxurious velvet couch near the fireplace, both exhausted, Harry leaning his head on Dracos shoulder.
"So why did you ask me to the ball, Potter?" Draco asked, the question that had been on his mind since the other asked him. 
Yawning, Harry replied, "it was a stupid dare, but I wasn't expecting to actually have this much fun."
The blond snickered, "are you saying you enjoy my company?" 
"I suppose I am."
"In that case, would you mind if I kissed you? Or would that make things awkward?"
"You ask way too many questions," the brunette said with a smile, hushing the other with a kiss.
