A/N: I am so very sorry. I'm a jerk. I haven't updated in the longest time, and if you feel the need to hurl me into a river with cement high heels, then do so. Here is the next chapter of what I hope to be a story that is liked and reviewed. So far, there's been like no response, except for "yuck" oh well. Can't please everyone.

Disclaimer: don't own it.

Bright Light poured in through the slits between her curtains. She squinted while she slowly let her eyes adjust.

How am I going to get out of here before Luna comes? And how the hell am I going to get out of this bed without waking them?!?

She carefully moved her leg from in between Draco's thighs, only causing Draco's eyes to flutter slightly. Stopping her ministrations to wait for Draco to settle down, she suddenly felt a hand slide up her thigh. Peering underneath the covers she noticed the pale hand that contrasted with the tan flesh of her thigh.

"Draco!" she whispered. "Don't do that!"

"Why not?" he mumbled sleepily, still keeping his eyes closed.

"Because…well just because!" she whispered back.

"That's not an answer. Uncle Sev tells me that it's not an answer all the time" he replied groggily. Slowly he inched his handle under the hem of her shorts.

"Honestly! Draco!" she half whispered. "Luna will be here at any moment and I've got to get out of here before then!"

BANG BANG BANG

"Hermione!" a voice bellowed. "Hermione Granger! Get yourself dressed and come open this prat of a portrait this instant!"

BANG BANG BANG

"Hermione…love…you had better get your cute bum up, because she is about to wake up the entire castle."

"But Draco…"

"Don't 'But Draco' me missy, you get your bum out of this bed this instant. Some of us are trying to sleep" he said with a smirk.

"Draco, if you get rid of her, I'll do anything you want. We can do it anyway you want…anywhere you want…"

"Love. I'm giving you ten minutes"

"What?"

"I'm letting her in, but I won't let her up here for ten minutes" he stated. "So get dressed."

With those words, he kissed her shocked face and went to open the portrait.

"Bloody, stupid, insolent, spoiled…" Hermione muttered.

"Git" said a voice from beneath the coverlet.

"Harry!" Hermione cried. "How long have you been awake?"

"Long enough to know that Draco's a bloody fool. Anything he wants? Anywhere he wants? And he leaves the bed? Bloody ponce that one is!" Harry replied cheekily.

"Oh you!" Hermione grabbed the waistband of his pajama pants, pulled back and let the elastic slap against his back.

"If you want me out of my clothes darling, all you had to do was say so."

Not quite the reaction Hermione was expecting, but she welcomed it nonetheless as Harry moved his head out from under the blanket.

'God's he looks adorable with his hair all mussed up.

Hermione reached back towards Harry's pants, although this time she bypassed the elastic completely. She chose instead to rest her hand upon the growing bulge beneath the cotton.

"Mione, although I hate to admit it…I'm going to have to go all 'poncey' on you right now."

"I didn't know you had stopped being a ponce Potter" drawled a voice by the door.

"Takes one to know one Malfoy"

"Ah, too true Potter. Too true. Unfortunately, Hermione will not be with our poncey goodness today, as she is going shopping with Luna in precisely 7 minutes and 31 seconds."

"Fuck!"

"Hermione. Tut tut. Such language"

"You…"

"…have let Luna in and trapped her downstairs effectively for 7 more minutes. Now get that lazy bum of yours dressed before she breaks in!" Draco finished for her.

"Oh my! I'm not ready!" Hermione jumped out of the bed and rushed to the dresser. Upon reaching the dresser she began tossing out almost everything she owned.

"Hermione…" Draco began. "…Hermione…" Walking over to her, he shouted "Hermione!"

"What?!?"

Draco pointed his wand at Hermione and muttered a few incantations.

"There you are love" he said and proceeded to kiss her full on the mouth. "Now you have 3 minutes in which to go downstairs before Luna marches up here."

"Fine you prat, I'll leave. I can see when I am not wanted."

"Hey hey now Mione" began Harry. He got up from the bed and stalked over to her and hugged her from behind. Pushing his burgeoning erection against her, he whispered in her ear "You are always wanted…now go before Luna gets up here in time to see me ravaging you against the wall." He pushed her towards the portrait to the common room.

"But…"

"Hermione go…and Harry, since you currently cannot ravish our lovely Head Girl, I give you permission to use my body as you will."

"Draco!"

"What Hermione? The boy is sporting an erection that could cut diamonds. Now be on your way" Draco stated as he waved at her dismissively.

Hermione's last look into the room provided her with a full on view of Harry's naked backside advancing on Draco's equally naked front.

Common Room

"Hermione! This is going to be so fun!" exclaimed Luna upon seeing the girl descend the stair.

Both girls then departed towards the carriages for Hogsmeade.

Hogsmeade

The girls entered the village where Luna proceeded to pull Hermione into ever robes/dress store in sight.

"Luna. Can we please go back to the square? I have to meet Draco and Harry in an hour and twenty. We have been to tons of dress shops and I have yet to find a robe or a dress you agree to let me wear."

"If you would stop picking such horrid dresses, I would have agreed to one of them by now. Come on now, lets try this shop" Luna stated as they came to a very small shop. It bore a dilapidated sign proclaiming 'Selene's Scissors'.

"Luna…if we go into this shop, and I still do not find a dress, you must promise me that you will allow me to go to The Three Broomsticks no matter what."

"But…"

"Luna. Please"

"Fine Herms. Fine. Now can we please go in and find you a dress?"

The girls entered the shop and were amazed. The dresses around them were positively breathtaking. Gowns of every color imaginable decked the store's walls. They watched as a woman of nearly 100 years of age came out to greet them.

"Well hello dearies! I am Madam Selene. How may I help you?"

"We're looking for a dress for my friend here" Luna began. "She's very fussy though."

Before Hermione had the chance to protest, the old witch began tottering through the shop picking up dresses haphazardly.

"C'mere dearie, lets try these on you."

Hermione followed the witch to the dressing are and stood upon the raised floor. The old witch held up the dresses and surrounded Hermione with them.

"Dearie, just call out the number you find on each dress and a replica will appear on your person."

Hermione called out several numbers before Luna finally told her that they had found the one.

'Finally'

"Oh dearie, you look beautiful. Now I have just the jewelry to go with that dress. Oh and shoes! You'll need shoes!"

"Oh no, that won't be necessary. I think I will only have enough for the gown."

"How much money do you have with you dearie?"

"100 galleons."

"Well that's perfect! The entire package is only 55 galleons!"

"What!"

"Yes dearie. That is all I ask. Now let me get those shoes"

Madam Selene tottered off to find the shoes while Hermione stared at Luna in shock.

"Luna. I can't. This is too perfect a dress for it to be that inexpensive."

"Hermione. Gift horses…ok? Gift horses."

Madam Selene entered the dressing area once more holding up a pair of elegantly styled silver stilettos and a dark burgundy colored box. Handing the box to Hermione, Madam Selene awaited her approval.

Opening the box, Hermione was stunned. Completely and utterly speechless, she kept pointing to herself and the box, alternating facial expressions of shock and elation.

"This means she likes them, but believes that you are giving her so much for so little" Luna supplied when Madam Selene asked if everything was alright.

"But…I…Don't…..Wait."

"Hermione darling, speak in real sentences…just like we practiced."

Luna's comment seemed to smack the girl back into reality. Trying to explain to the woman however, was soon becoming frustrating. It seemed as though the woman would not hear of her even thinking about not taking the package. In fact, the old witch told her that whether she bought the package or not, Hermione would find it awaiting her at her room in Hogwarts.

"Hermione. Take the package" Luna urged gently.

"Fine, but I am giving you 80 galleons for it, whether you like it or not" Hermione stated to Madame Selene.

"Very well dearie, if you must."

"Now Luna. Am I allowed to go to the Three Broomsticks?

"Gah! Yes Hermione! Ok! Yes!"

Hermione practically skipped her way out the door as Luna headed to Madam Puddifoots to meet her own boyfriend…

Next Chap: Three Broomsticks and more flashbacks

a/n: Ok. So I am a majorly majorly majorly large jerk. I haven't updated in a year! I don't even know why! It's not like I don't (or didn't) have the free time! New things though, I got a new job, and I am now much happier. I am intent on continuing this story. I am not sure about my other ones, and may start to take them down. Let's see if I can finish one before starting any more! Fingers crossed everyone!

Ahh! I totally forgot. I need votes on the dress. I've picked out Luna's dress, which I will describe at the ball, but I need to know about Hermiones. I've narrowed it down. Just remove the spaces and vote using the number next to the dress link!
