   Summary

   Desperate for a Yule Ball date, Harry Potter is forced to make a deal with the one girl who doesn't care about his fame: the purple-haired Goth girl from Third-Year Ravenclaw who wears handcuffs as a bracelet and keeps her secrets close.

   He needs to learn to waltz. She needs an invitation. Their agreement is simple: clean and transactional.

   But with Harry, nothing is ever simple. Some secrets weren't meant to be contained.
