Cheats andBalls

Hermione smiled excitedly and looked at her Hello Kitty calender. Tonight was the Hallowe'en Masqurade. She wasn't sure who her compagnion was so she started to read her letter again to try and figure out who it was.

Dear Teddybear,

I am in the 7th year as you are. Because we are not allowed to discribe ourselves I can't tell you more than that, but I would like to say that I am very excieted to meet you and see who the person I am writing to is.I will be dressing as Macbeth and I think I have found the perfect costume for MAcbeth. I will be standing near the food tables and will be holding a few small pink chrysantemem. But hopefully you will be able to see by my costume.

Greenhouse

Hermione sighed. Food and Flowers? Who did she know that liked food and flowers? She sighed and shook her head. Just the Kari and Ginny burst into her room with their costumes. They were jumping around excitedly.

"Hurry up Hermione. We have to get ready!" Throwing their things on Hermione's bed and dropping their make up bags and shoes on the floor Hermione held her hand up as to say stop.

"Wait!" she said and made them stop. "I have to announce the Dances begining! I can't get ready yet." Kari and Ginny looked deflated. they sighed and almost pouted but nodded.

"Fine then Hurry up and go Start their dance!"

When Hermione got back Kari and Ginny had almost compplete raided her room. What in the world could they be looking for?

"Hermione we looked everywhere in your room and in the bathroom and we could not find ANY makeup." Hermione shrugged and sat on her bed moving the silk drapeson her bed. "I don't haveany." Kari and Ginny looked at her with wide eyes.

"What?"Kari shook her head.

"That's crazy Hermione." Hermione rolled her eyes and they each put on their dresses.

Kari was the first to put her dress on. It looked so beautiful on her. They had tied her curly blond hair cak in an up do looking style and put little gold flowers in her hair.She also had silver flat shoes that tied all the way up her calves. Kari also wore a few braclets. Now it was Ginny's turn. Her Bonnie costume was so cute on her. She was dressed completly 1930's and she had a little fake gun.

Hermione'sLady Macbethdress was stunning, Especially on her. It was a long flowing medieaval blood red dress. The sleeves were long and she wore a black belt around her waist. There was black ribons all in her hair and she looked almost evil.

"Wow. Your dress is so amazing Hermione. You almost look like a Slytherin." shejoked and smiled.

Finally thay started with the make up. Ginny decided she wasn't going to wear make up so she just helped with Hermione's and Kari. Kari's was all gold eyeliner and silver shimmery eyeshadow. Hermione was just black. It was very dark smokey-eyed look with a bit of red mixed in. Finally they were ready.

"Lets go!" Ginny said after putting their masks on, which had been charmed to hover over their faces. The three hooked arms and walked out the door towards the Great Hall.

The three walked into the Great Hall quite unnoticed, then scatered to find their dates. Hermione looked at the table to see a quite cute looking boy standing there playing with the flower nervously looking at the floor. Hermione made her way up to him and tapped him lightly on the shoulder. The boy spun around and smiled when he realised it was her. His date.

"Good Evening m'lady." He said and bowed kissing her hand. Gee If only Ron did that. Hermione smiled and courtsyed after being given the flower.

"Thank you." she said and they hooked arms going out onto the dance floor. To her surprise It was a slow song first. Whilst her and her date danced she tried to figure out who it was. It wasn't Harry because his hair was brown or neither Ron. It wasn't Dom because he didn't have an accent...she sighed not knowing who it was. They continued to dance until they bumped into another couple while dancing.

"Oh sorry."

"Oh hey...you!" Kari said knowing she couldn't say her name in fear of anyone knowing who she was. Hermione smiled and started to dance as a faster song came on. She waved mouthing a Hey to her Friend.

"Hey...uh...You!" Hermione looked up at the un-mistable voice of Dom. It sure wouldn't have been hard to realise it was him. "Hey Dom!" she yelled over the music. The four of them danced together for a few songs. Hermione giggled seeing her two good friends dance with each other. She knew Dom absolutly loved Kari and she really liked him. But neither of them wanted to saying anything.

"Would you like to go sit down?" asked her date. Who she had to say really had a nice costume. She nodded and looked around. She hadn't seen the familiar sight of red hair at all during the night. She sighed and sat down. Her feet sure hurt.Just as they sat down Dumbledoor turned the music off and anounced that in a few moments they would be taking their masks off.

Hermione pulled off her masks and so did her date. She laughed out loud and hugged her Date. She never would have guess who it was.

"Neville!"

"Hermione!" The two stood there laughing for a few moments before getting themselves some punch and heading back to the dance floor. Harry and Lavender came over and started dancing too. And before you knew it Neville, Hermione, Kari, Ginny, Harry, Lavender, Dominc and Seamus were all dancing in a little cluster with a bunch of drinks dancing to the loud music.

The dance had gone splendely. She just wanted to find Ron. Seamus smiled and started to talk to her. She was about to reply to his question when the familiar red hair caught her eye. A smile came on her face for a moment but soon fadded as she saw the scean roll out. Ron had leaned over and kissed Pansy. Not just a kiss a long one. Sadness washed over her and she became choked up with tears. Seamus asked what was wrong but she didn't hear him. He turned and saw what Hermione had seen. Seamus reached forward to comfort her but she back away and fled the party. She pushed through her friends and stopped at the door. She turned her head in Ron's direction and glared at him with all the hate she could. Ron looked up and saw her. He had been caught. He moved to go after her when Pansy spoke.

"Let her go."

She then closed the space between them again and kissed him. Ron pulled away and looked at her disguted and pushed her away. Ron ran over to the door and grabed Hermione by the wrist to pull her back. Fury swept over her and she turned back to Ron.

"Let go of me!" she screamed.

"Let me explain!" Hermione wasn't going to take it. With her free had she swung at him, the back of her hand coliding with his cheek. He groaned in pain and let her go. Hermione turned and ran out of the Great Hall. Harry, Ginny, Seamus, Neville, Kari and Dom pushed passed Ron ignoring him. He was no longer welcome to be even close to them or Hermione.

"Hermione wait!" Ginny called.Hermioneput her hand on the wall to balance herself. She was still crying andher make up was making streaks down her face. She put her hand over her mouth and sunk to the cold floor, her dress skatered around her.There was a growing number of people coming to see what was happening Ron including.Just then Draco Malfoy came out from the shadows.

"Good Job Weasly..." he said in a low drawl.

"Shut up Malfoy..."Ron snarled looking down at the floor. He looked over at Hermione and saw at that moment how much he didn't deserve her.

"Oh come on Weasly. Its not your fault. I mean you had a right to do that."

Ron shook his head. It was his fault. How could he have done that to her. She was so good to him. Draco stood his back to the Head girl smirking.

"She always took advantage of you. She just used you to be better friends with Potter."

He looked down at his shoes. No, she had always been Harry's friend. He was horrible to her. He didn't deserve her.

"Didn't she embarass you? Make you feel stupid?" Draco looked back at the crying girl. This was definatly something amusing to him.He was such the manipulator."She always thought less of you. Even in the Head meetings she would say how much she was annoyed with you."

Ron looked up at Draco. He was starting to make sense. Hermione was just trying to make him look bad. Blame all this cheating on him. She was probably cheating too. With that Dom. She got what she deserved.

"She dose deserve it." Ron blurted out. Draco almost smlied. This was too easy. He turned back to Hermione.

"Oh stop crying Granger."

Hermione looked up at the voice and glared. She hated Malfoy with all her soul. She wiped her tears away and stood up. She was ready to kill Malfoy if he said anything else.

"It's not that much a tragedy. He's not even sorry." This came to a shock. She looked over at Ron who glared at her.

"You deserved it." he snapped. Hermione gasped. She didn't know what to say. Nobody moved. Ron only turned and walked away. A few more tears trickled down her face. She closedd her eyes tight. Maybe if she imagined it didn' happen then maybe Ron would come back to her.She opened them and saw that it didn't work. Ron was still gone and Malfoy was still there.

"But then again it must be hard. Since it was with Pansy." The Slytherins all chuckled and Pansy just gasped and ran off pouting.

"I mean I didn't think Weasly was smart enough to realise that even he deserves better than you."Malfoy sneered.

"Shut up!" she screamed. Hermione was going to kill him. She moved forward but was pulled back by Kari and Ginny. Dom and Harry and Seamus all started to advance on Malfoy with looks to kill. Before the boys had completely reached him Hermione calmed a little.

"Don't touch him. He dosn't deserve to even be wasted the energy on." The boys hesitated but went back to Hermione.

"Well it seems allot of people don't deserve certain things." Kari grabbed her hand and pulled her back to the commun room, but only after Hermione had muttered a 20 points from Slytherin while wiping more tears from her face.

She went straight to bed not saying a word. She lay curled up on her bed doing just that. Well and crying silently. What did Pansy have that she didn't? Stay in her company more than 5 minutes? She was better than that wasn't she?
