Hello readers. Well here we are at chapter 5. I hope you enjoy it and big thanks to all my new reviewers and followers, this one is for you x

I had known that rumour of my prom date would spread but I had no idea how fast. Apparently being head girl adds to the scandal, which in turn leads to the need for it to spread so much faster. Harry and Ron were fine with the rumours, we weren't exactly the most inconspicuous of people but they weren't so fine with the truth. Harry of course didn't take it too seriously and was very good at hiding the quite obvious fact that he thought I had somehow betrayed him. Ron wasn't quite so subtle, I think his exact words were "You F***ing idiot! You know he is playing you right? God I thought you were supposed to be the smart one!" or something like that.

To be honest I didn't mind so much because I still had Ginny. Sometimes I swear that girl is just the mail-order best friend. Her reaction was something along the lines of "why not?" with a shrug. We spent the next two and a half hours talking about out plans for the prom. Considering that I had designed the colour scheme I decided I should stick to it. Ginny helped me pick out my dress, which was ridiculously expensive but totally worth it. It was a sparkling silver strapless dress with beautiful white lace overlay. My mask was a slim white and silver mask, which had been charmed to fit to my face without a ribbon or tie. I tried on the whole outfit as soon as we got back from hogsmeade and fell immediately in love with it. Ginny was wearing a Pink floaty dress with intricate white and silver stitched flower patterns on the skirt and a white lace belt which made her look tiny and beautiful. It matched perfectly with her tiara.

I had to arrive at the hall an hour earlier than everyone else as Draco and I were supposed to check the last minute points. Walking in the room was nearly fully done. The candles were floating high above the floor the banners were hung in purple and black and silver all across walls. Silver glitter was falling from the starry night ceiling like snow. The tables were laid with black tablecloths and silver chairs with purple cushions, which I had ordered especially for the event. The dance floor was my pride and joy though. We had developed the ceiling spell so that it would work on the floor. In essence the whole floor was the night sky. The prom guests would be quite literally dancing on clouds. I was admiring the view and using my wand to adjust some of the candles so that they were matching the colour scheme. Then I felt a hand around my waist, and breath against my ear. "Hello." I shivered. His voice sent a fleet of butterflies racing down my back and for the first time I didn't think. I had no control over my body and my actions were instinctive. I reached up and turned myself around so that I was pressed against his body. I lent my head against his and just stayed that way. We stood, with our eyes closed, against one another, millimetres apart. All I could hear was his breath and the beat of my own heart deep inside my chest. After a few seconds of eternity I leaned forward and our lips finally touched. The stars beneath my feet trickled up my spine and in between my fingers where his har was intertwined. I was utterly helpless.

Back in my room I couldn't shake the feeling, the utter euphoric high that was racing through me. I could hear every sound and see every fleck of dust in the air. Slipping on my mask I felt a million different things that I could never put into words. He had said "I love you." I had said it too but the words seemed too small to say what I really meant.

Ginny then came up behind me and I had to pull my way back into reality. She looked amazing. Rosy cheeked and glowing, I was tempted to ask if she had used some of the magic beauty powder to make her that way but what she said next reminded me that she didn't need it. "Harry is downstairs. Do you want to go with us?" I nodded. Harry was wearing a tux rather than dress robes as we had decided that since it was based on a mugle event anyway it wouldn't hurt to wear mugle fashions. I had gotten one for Draco too, he looked great in it, unsurprisingly. Harry and Ginny walked off in front with Ron and his date Lizzy behind them. Lizzy was pretty but I felt kind of bad for her because from experience I knew that Ron was a terrible dancer. He seemed to like her though which to be honest I liked mainly because it meant he would probably be too busy to bug me about Draco. I took a deep breath and followed them down the stairs.

DRACO POV

Potter and the weas- I mean Ginny, came down the stairs first then Weasly and his date who was much too pretty for him. But I had barely enough time to think this before all the breath was knocked out of me. Hermione was stood at the top of the stairs and she glowed, silver dress, golden skin and shimmering hair. When she walked forward I took her arm and felt something that was still strange to me. The emanating warmth, which surged up and down my body every time we touched.

I had been nervous about wearing, what did she say it was called? "You look good in a tux" she said and I smiled then moved a hair out of her face and brushed my lips across where it had been.

HERMIONE'S POV

He kissed my brow bone and I couldn't help but smile and blush. At this moment everyone was gathered in the hall and he whispered in my ear "show time"

We stepped up together on to the stage and both of us touched our necks with our wands "Welcome to the first annual Hogwarts Prom" I said

"The theme is of course masquerade so if you would all like to put on your masks" said Draco and the crowds faced disappeared under beautiful shades of colour.

"There will first be a meal and then we will hand over to the band for.." I swished my wand so that the floor suddenly became the clouds and the ceiling the sky "a night on the clouds." The crowed all oo'd and ahh'd at the artificial flight and I suddenly knew that this was the perfect night for what was planned. Harry had let me in on his plan for just this reason, that he trusted me to make this night perfect.
