CHAPTER ONE

DANCING WITH A STRANGER

There she was, in a golden gown, that made her waist seem smaller then she actually was, he hair pulled up on top of her head with a little gold burette that glowed. She had a mask covering her eyes resting gently above her cheek bone/

There he stood in a black suite, wearing the mask of the phantom, he stood about six-one to her five-eight, neither one knew what drew them to one another, or who they were exactly, but one he started guiding her around the dance floor with the greatest of ease, they both felt it at the same time.

There lips met at midnight, and didn't part until the headmaster spoke up, there eyes never leaving one another as they left the old man to make his speech.

"I enjoyed dancing with you," He her in his arms, as they made there way outside over to the pond, "You remind me of Belle, from 'Beauty and the Beast', only you are much more fetching."

She smiled at him, "Plus, I am not colored in with colored pencils, either," she stared down at the lake, swaying her hips to the music that echoed from inside the castle to the lake, "It's a beautiful night, isn't it?"

"Not as beautiful as you are, at this moment," He went and wrapped his arms, around the girl.

She leaned back against his chest, as the moved to the music, "It is exciting, you know?"

"What is that?" He asked into her ear, following his sentence with a kiss to her neck.

"Not knowing who one another is, it is so romantic," She smiled as she felt his kisses upon her neck.

"Would you want me, if you knew who I was?" He asked as he turned the girl in his arms, to face him, "Would you want me?"

She leaned in, and kissed him, as she let her hands rest upon his form chest, "I don't see why not."

"Let's meet again by the lake tomorrow night, now that I found you I don't think I am able let my days go on like this night never happened," He stroked her cheek with his hands, and leaned in to kiss her again.

"Nine, after dinner, I will be here," She gave him a quick kiss to the cheek, and took off running back to the castle.

He stood there watching her, before going back himself, 'She is the most-'

THE NEXT DAY

'-most annoying girl in the whole school," Draco sent death glares, in Hermione's direction, he turned to his friend Blaise, "Can one person even come close to being as annoying as her?"

'I can think of one,' Blaise said to himself, he glared at his friend, "You do realize that is the tenth time you told me, how annoying you find Hermione."

The other boy just ignored his friend, "Well she is," he stared at the girl, her hair was up in a messy bun, and now they were allowed to wear casual clothes to classes, except for Friday's, today she had on a red sweater, with blue hip-huggers, and brown boots, which all complemented her body. She was sitting next to her friend, Harry, as they worked on the project.

"Miss Granger, wait to be called on, before babbling that mouth off," Professor Snape hissed as the girl answered, without being called on again.

Draco laughed, but stopped when Snape's eyes met his, he looked at Blaise, "How is the project coming along?"

"It's perfect, no thanks to you," Blaise got up, and took the tube, and set it onto the Professors desk, before returning back to his desk.

When class was over, Professor Snape stood in front of the room, "No thanks to Headmaster Dumbledore, he thinks it best that we study 'Sex Education' for the next three weeks," he shook his head, "Why I was cursed into this, I would not know," he waved his hand, "Class dismissed!"

Later on in the 'Grand Hall' all the fifth, sixth, and seventh year students were talking about the new class they would be engaged in for the last three weeks of the month. Some one excited, and other were petrified, or they rather would had been so, instead of hearing adults talking to them about sex. It was bad enough when there parents gave them 'The Talk', but there teachers. Well then.

Hermione stared at Harry, and Ron, "I personally think it is a marvelous idea, it beats worrying about potions for three weeks. Maybe we will keen potions that could prevent diseases, and pregnancies."

Harry shrugged his shoulders, "Any information about the subject has to be better then my Aunt, and Uncles," he mad a sour face, in imitation of his uncle, "The thing about sex, Harry, well you don't have to worry, no one would want to touch you."

"I would," Came a quiet voice from across the table, it belonged to Ginny.

Ron's face turned as red as his hair, he looked at Ginny, who now realizing she said the words out loud, blushing, "Ginny, what the bloody hell."

Harry's cheeks were red as well, he smiled at the young Weasley, "Thanks Ginny."

She smiled back, "No problem."

Hermione got up from the table, when she noticed the time, she looked at her friend, "I need to got get a book from the library."

"I think they should just put a bed there for you Hermione, I mean you practically live there," Ron said between bites of his pizza.

Ginny smacked her brother, "Ever think about eating with your mouth closed, or swallowing before speaking, Ron?"

Harry laughed, which got him a glare from his best mate, and a smile from Ginny, "What it was funny," he looked at Hermione, "Want me to go with you?"

Hermione shook her head, as she tried looking around for who might not be in the 'Great Hall', but everyone she knew, or paid attention to at least seemed to be there still, except for the DADA Professor, she laughed at herself realizing what she was thinking, "I'll be fine Harry, eat your food," she hurried out of the room, and made her way towards the lake, she froze when she heard an all to familiar voice behind her, "Where are you going Miss Granger?"

Hermione turned and looked at her Professor, nervously, "I had to go get pads," she lied.

Severus, never questioning a witch's menstrual cycle, just bowed his head, "As you were Miss Granger."

She watched as the teacher was out of site, and continued going outside, to the lake, she slowed down the closer she got to the water's edge, 'Wait, can that be?" She saw a man standing in the spot she had been with the phantom costumed stranger, "Hello?"

"You came, I been-" The stranger turned around, and stared wide eyes at the woman in front of him, "Granger?"

"Malfoy?" The girl stared at the blonde in front of her, "What are you doing here?"

He glared at her, "I should ask you the same thing," he looked behind her, as if there might be another person coming.

"You're the phantom?" She asked, sounding calmer, then she actually was.

"You were Belle?" He asked not answering her question at first, but then nodded, "Yes, I was the Phantom."

"Great," She plopped down on the grass, laying back, as she stared up at the sky, "So much for romantic."

"I am just as shocked as you are," Draco without knowing a reason, plopped down beside her, "Who would had known, I had the same interest as a mud- I mean a Gryffindor?"

She smiled, appreciating he didn't call her a mud-blood, she looked at him, "So what do we do?"

He stared at her, and shook his head, "I don't know, we have a lot in common, that is what we found out last night, and when I kissed you, it wasn't like any kiss I shared with a girl before," he propped himself on his elbow, and stared at her, "It wouldn't be the worse thing, but-" His face was getting closer to hers.

She pulled his face down to her mouth, and kissed him, 'This is my phantom, shit he's hot.'

He smiled when her pulled away, "You know I actually had a crush on you, ever since you punched me in the jaw," he laid back down beside her, holding her hand.

"I thought I was annoying to you," She smiled at the blonde.

He looked at her, "Well you are, but you're more not, then are."

She gave him a puzzled look, and started laughing, "More not, then are?"

He leaned back in , and kissed her, beneath the fullness of the moon, "Yes."
