"Thank you, atleast I got a proper compliment tonight." Hermione politely thanked, before muttering the last part, that she had not wanted the Slytherin to hear.
"Astoria is in the bathroom." He started, noticing the way she stiffened when he said the Slytherin girls name. "Would you like to dance in the time being?"
She looked up, the shock of me asking her to dance, radiating off of her face. Though she quickly regained the nice posterior and responded almost bitterly. "And what if she walks in?"
"So what, I'll tell her she danced with other boys, I get to dance with other girls." He smirked, watching as her face took in the message.
She gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. "Draco that's terrible." Hermione scolded him, dimly realizing that he was looking over her.
"It'll break her heart." She rambled on, not realizing her boyfriends heated glare.
"Granger." He randomly spoke up, causing her to stop, and look into his eyes, which were brought out with the colours sorrounding the room.
"One dance." He tried convincing her, hoping she would say yes, and he could dance with her, no one knowing who he was dancing with, and hopefully her date would not notice either.
He growled, the idea of Cormac touching what he thought of as his came to mind, but he quickly shucked it away, looking at the indecisive caramel eyes infront of him.
She looked around, and he sighed dramatically, hoping it would help her decide faster.
"Granger, we haven't got all day." He protested, his lips turning to a small pout, to which she giggled at before shaking her head, and walking away from him, her navy blue and white dress gown sparkling in the chandelier lights.
She had said no to him. She smiled and almost skipped, then remembered the heels that she was wearing. Her head lost in thoughts she was suddenly grabbed by the wrist, and when she turned pulled into a chest, a very masculine chest. She was about to yell and tell the man to let go of her, when she was over taken with Draco's familar cologne.
"Did you just say no?"
Oh no. Her breath hitched in her throat, however she did like the way he had stated the question, it seemed as if he was daring her and not having enough air in her throat to speak to him, she nodded her head.
His head swept down, and she realized that despite the fact she was wearing heels, he still stood taller than her. Kissing her lobe he whispered. "I don't take 'no' as an answer Hermione."
Her name had rolled off of his tongue, and she shuddered, and he kissed her temple, before taking her arm, and leading her to the dance floor. She noted that he had not dragged her, as Cormac did, and he knew how to dance as if he was walking. She smiled, she had always thought that if she would dance with him, it would be shown in front of everyones eyes, and that she would see his entire face, not just parts of it, she frowned, suddenly remembering the topic she would bring up to him later that week.
"What's wrong? I'm certain I am yet to step on your dress." He asked, his hand on the small of her back, pulling her closer, so his mercury eyes locked with hers, and she couldn't look away without giving away what was going through her mind.
"Nothing, just wondering if Cormac would clobber you if her found out I was dancing with a boy that was not him."
He seemed to take her answer, and thankfully let the topic drop, though he kept her close, as they slow danced to the song playing.
"I did mean it... You look gorgeous tonight Hermione." He added, after a silent pause.
"Thank you." She smiled.
"And you look ever so handsome." She added, and blushed as she realized how her words had sounded.
He laughed, her heart almost exploding with joy at the sound escaping him.
"You never cease to amaze me." He chuckled, as the song came to a close.
She nodded before trying to walk away, absolutely embarassed by what she had said, before he grabbed her by the wrist again and pulled her close.
"I never said it was a bad thing." he whispered, looking her in the eyes, before tiliting his head down, and letting his lips meet hers.
The rest of the Great Hall disappeared, as she loosely wrapped her hands around his neck, the one clasping the ends of his sliky blonde hair, before pulling apart, his forehead resting on hers, before hearing the crowd sigh and clap at the display of affection. She blushed pulling away as he picked up her hand, placed a kiss on it, before going off to find his date, the Great Hall forgetting the adorable couple that had been in an ebrace only a moment ago went back to talking and laughing.
She looked around the hall, finding Ron and Harry, sitting alone at the table, looking down at their drinks. Making sure her mask was on upright, she walked towards to two boys.
"Lovely night." She beamed, as the two boys looked up at their friend increduously.
"That was you." Ron stuttered, going red.
She looked at the two of them, confusion adorning her.
"Well if you were the girl who in the world were you bloody snogging?" Ron blubbered out, and as if on que, nodded his head in the understanding that it had been Draco Malfoy.
"You look great Mione." Harry complimented, to which she smiled, before realizing the table was empty.
"Where is everyone?" She couldn't help the question that bbbled from her throat.
"Well Lavender, and Ginny are in the bathroom, and the rest are dancing." Ron gloated, emphasizing Lavender's name.
She glared at the red haired boy, wondering why he was acting so immature, if he was allowed to have a girlfriend, she should be allowed to have a boyfriend and not get her feelings beaut up for it.
She huffed, waved good-bye to the boys before heading off in search of the girls lavratory. She entered, the wall hiding her from view when Lavender's voice floated to her ears.
"Who does she think she is! Prancing in and keeping every boys eyes on her, even my Won Won couldn't stop looking at her." She shrieked, and as Hermione peeked from the wall noticed the girls were re-applying make-up.
"Whoever that girl is, she had class, and her gown is gorgeous." Padma added.
Lavender snorted."Her dress in blue and white, so not in and floor-length, who even wears that anymore?" She let out her frustration.
It hit Hermione then that they were talking about her, the pain seeming to stab her in the heart.
Ginny then piped up."Lavender, that girl is gorgeous and clearly, everyone else knows it too, can't you give her a break. Her dress is to die for and she holds herself like a princess."
"Oh shut up Ginny!" Lavender huffed.
Hermione smiled, Ginny did not know it was her behind the mask, none of them did.
"Either way, every guy that brought a date has completely forgotten about that date, and are paying attention to that that... attention hog!" She screeched, as Hermione winced at the sound of such things escaping the girls throat.
"And she was snogging that boy." Padma mumbled.
"Yes that gorgeous, drop dead good looking guy, and what happens! She ends up snogging him, in front of everyone! Who ever she is, she's lucky, but so dead."
"Lavender! No one will know who she is!" Ginny guffawed.
"We'll find out somehow." Lavender mumbled.
"No you won't." Ginny fought back before heading towards the door, to which Hermione rushed out of the lavratory, in order to not get caught, running into the Great Hall she looked around, did she looke that pretty, and she had not drawn every singly persons attention, their were plently dancing around.
Sighing, as Cormac waed to her, she sat down, getting ready for the dinner.
She didn't even realize that Draco Malfoy was sitting across from her, trying to get her attention.
