Yule ball
Dean leaned to a corner, and looked over the ballroom. Everywhere there were movments and activities. Students who dance waltz in the middle of the room, a orchestra who played everyhing from violin to drums, christmas decoration who sore in the air, a big buffet of food that everybody freely ate off. But the teachers also had their hands full, some of them danced, like Dumbledore who danced with McGonagall, and Hagrid who dance with a overjoyed Trelawney. Snape stood at the side and looked like he would rather be at any place on earth, but right there. Filch tried in vain to stop some Ravenclaws students from put alcohol in the punch.
Right when Dean thought about leaving, Sam came and leaned at the wall besides him.
” Wow, you sure know how to party.” Sam said sarcastically.
” Of course, I am drinking the punch, aren’t I?” Dean said laughing and drank from a cup.
Both of them looked at the punchbowl, where Filch once again hunted away the Ravenclaw students, then he turned around 180 degrees, when Mrs Norris licked the bowl. Dean absurdly quickly spat out his drink.
” I have not seen Cas around, where is he?” Sam asked curiously.
” He had a headache, so he stayed in bed.” Dean said and tried to clean his tongue.
” I have an idea, that will say if you get tired of drinking cathair and watching floating socks.” Sam took out two brooms from the invisibility cloak. ” We can fly from the Astronomy tower.”
Dean laughed amused and looked down on his black suit, who were really nice, despite that it was second hand.
” Are we not to dress up for that?”
Sam wiggled his feets, and looked begging at Dean.
” Come on Dean! I am boring to death here. Plus you should be proud that I came up with a classic Dean idea.”
Dean smirked wryly.
” I think I have a bad influence on you. Alright Sam, lets do it.” Dean said after a while.
Sam and Dean ran up laughing and nudge eachother playfully. When they reach the Astronomy tower, Dean stopped in the middle of a step, and look out the platform, to shocked to talk.
Above them shined a million stars so far the eye could see, and a big moon lit up the white winterlandscape. A round table with burning candles, red roses, two glasses and a dinner were set up. From a distance you could hear music from the ball.
” So do you like it?” Cas said, and walk out from behind a pillar.
Slowly Dean recover from the shock, and looked at Sam.
” Have fun big brother.” Sam smirked and grabbed both brooms, and walked away.
Dean once again turned his gaze at Cas.
” It is perfect.”
Cas grabbed Deans hand, and Cas dimples burst out.
” It is when you are here.”
Dean shudder of Cas warm hand and let Cas lead him to the table, where he pulled out a chair for Dean.
” Headache huh?” Smiled Dean.
” I wanted to suprise you.” Cas smiled back and sat down, opposite to him.
” Well you sure did, you little trickster.”
Dean teased and Cas just looked loving at him.
” You never runs out of nicknames do you?”
Dean smiled ridiculously big.
” I have many more my angelic friend.”
Very gently Cas touched his fingertips at Deans cheekbone, and stroke them around the area.
” You are so beautiful Dean.” Dean sigh and closed his eyes of pure pleasure. Cas blushed. ” Do you like it?”
” I always like when you are touching me Castiel.” Said Dean and open his eyes.
The moon shined up the green and brown color, so it sparkled. Cas leaned forward, and sucked on Deans bottom lips. Dean let Cas take control of the soft kiss. Hungry Dean open his mouth more, and grabbed Cas white scarf. Cas growled softly and happend to bite Dean. A little snow landed on the Slytherin boys heads, it ran down Dean and Cas overly hot lips.
” We should eat, before the food gets cold.” Cas laughed and pulled away. Dean blinked flirty.
” I hope there is dessert.”
Cas giggled and pour some drinks in Deans glass.
” That depends. Have you been a good boy Dean Winchester?”
Cas teased. Dean pulled the corner of his mouth.
” Well I have been very naughty with a certain angel, on school grounds.”
Cas hides his pink face in his cozy white scarf. So Dean dropped the role play, and raised his glass.
” A toast to the most wonderful friend and boyfriend in whole Hogwarts.”
Cas pour up his own glass and clinged it to Deans.
” Cheers to you to.”
They drank some and then ate the lamb and roasted potato.
” Lucky it was not wine. Snape would kill us if we shown up drunk tomorrow. Or just take all Slytherins house points.
Cas laughed so much he spat out some food.
” We can never win the housecup, can we?”
” Not a change. Or maybe if we wave the prideflag infront of Dumbledore.”
Cas blue eyes magnified.
” I guess it is a story behind that sentence.”
Long into the night they ate, laughed, drank and talked out loud. Suddenly the world seems to shrink to the Astronomy tower. They talked about everything and nothing, art, music, books, sports, movies, games, lections and everything in between. Cas layed a blanked around Dean, when it started to snow some more. After insisting Cas pulled one over himself to, when he also had a thin second hand suit. The night were long, but not long enough for Cas and Dean.
Cas got up, and bowed smoothly, and reach out his hand.
” May I have this dance?”
” What else?”
Cas could feel how Dean shudder of his hand on his waist. Dean layed a hand on Cas shoulder, and let Cas tangled their other hands together. Cas lead them slowly around the tower. Laughing they tried to keep up a pace. Both Cas and Dean sucked at dancing, so it became a mix of every dance they could think of. Cas wings majestic burst out from his shoulders, and in one second they flew in the air. Dean looked fascinated at Cas, who looked just as suprised as him. They just keep dancing in the air, and soaring over Hogwarts.
” Whatever you are doing, do not stop.” Dean laughed wildly.
” Absolutly.” Cas laughed back.
They laughed and screamed out of the deep of their lungs. Higher and higher they flew in the cool, and fresh sky, and Dean got hit by the freedom like a hurricane. Hogwarts felt so small, when they flew over it, then they danced to Hogsmead, and then the Forbidden Forest. On the way back Dean and Cas had to dodge for several owls. Eventually they hover over Hogwarts once again, and now they could hear the music clearly.
Earth angel, earth angel, will you be mine?
” Dean, did you do something with the music?” Cas laughed and lifted his eyebrowns.
” It is just a coincidence, I promise.” Said Dean so seriously, that Cas burst out in a laugh attack.
After a while Dean laughed to. In the moonlight with his snowwhite wings, black suit, ruffled hair, and big dimples, Cas looked like an angel more than ever. In this moment Dean could not wish for anything more.
” Castiel.” Dean said before he could change his minds.
” Yes Dean?”
Cas loved when Dean used his whole name.
” I was wondering if...if you want...I am sorry forget I said anything...”
Dean flexed his jaws, and looked away.
” What?”
Dean looked at Cas.
” I...never mind. It is a stupid idea...”
Cas sweetly played with Deans hair, and did a huge smile.
” It is me Dean. You can say anything you want.”
Dean trembled out.
” Castiel, I love you more than anything in the whole wide world, and I was wondering.” Dean took out the silver ring from his pocket. ” Will you marry me?”
Cas speechless looked on the ring, and up on Dean.
” Yes.” He breathed out.
” You will?” Said Dean, who had stopped to breath in a second.
Cas cried, laughed and smiled, all at once.
” Yes Dean. I do want to marry you!”
Cas throw himself in Deans arms, and kissed him so deep he possible could. Dean felt such a happy adrenaline rush, that if he was not already in the air, he would lift from the ground. Never wanted Dean the kiss to end. Overly joyed he stroke Cas wings, and dragged him closer to his body. Cas held up Dean and himself, and had never been so happy in his whole life.
Down all Hogwarts stairs Cas and Dean ran, and yield of joy. They jumped and bounced, through some halls, in secret passages and rooms. Quickly they just ran, and none of them cared where they were going at all.
