Disclaimer : Sadly, I don't own Harry Potter. But I do own this plot XD

A/N : Thanks to all reviewers!! The new chapter is here ~~~~ XD enjoy!! . There'll be more Draco & Hermione here. {: But don't worry. Oliver will still get the girl!

"So what do want me to do?" she asked eagerly.

"Well," the twins looked at each other, "We want you to go to the Yule's Ball with Malfoy."

Chapter 10

"You want me to WHAT?! Fred! George! Are you insane? Honestly, why Draco? Of ALL the students in Hogwarts, why him?" the brunette yelped.

"Hmmm. Then do you want me instead?" Fred said playfully, blowing into her ear.

"NOO!!" she shrugged, "I'd rather NOT go to the ball!"

"Oh really? Then I guess you don't want Oliver back. Fine by us," Fred replied with a pout.

He grabbed his brother and walked away from Hermione.

"What the hell are you doing Gred?!" George nudged his brother, "Don't you want her to get back with Oliver? Then why are we leaving?!"

"Relax Forge, I got it all under control. She'll tell us to come back, in 3…2…1…" he counted down confidently.

~~Silence~~

They turned back only to see a silent, empty hallway.

"Yea right…you really got it 'under control' huh, Gred?" George scoffed.

"Damn…sorry, I didn't expect that."

"Well," George said, patting his back, "If we can't make Hermione go to Draco—"

"We'll make him go to her!!" once again, finishing their sentence together.

"Hagrid! We're being serious!" Harry and Ron snapped at Hagrid, who was busy feeding Buckbeak at the back of his hut.

In the end, Harry and Ron went to confide with Hagrid regarding Hermione. Hagrid has been like a father to those three little devils. He was always there if they needed help, and would gladly help them.

Wel', I'm really sorry ta' hear it. But I thought 'ye should be happy for 'Mione. I mean, it's nay everyday 'ye get to see 'Mione being chased by guys 'ye know," Hagrid said, patting Buckbeak's neck.

"But Hagrid," Ron began saying, "it's Draco Malfoy we're talking about. I mean seriously, anything related to that bloody ferret would be bad news! He has been harassing Hermione since before we could ever remember!"

"I ain't sayin' Malfoy is good, but maybe 'ye gotta give him a chance too. He might nay be as bad as 'ye think," the bearded man said.

"You know what Ron? Hagrid is right. We should give him a chance. Thank Hagrid for hearing us out!" Harry quickly ended the conversation and dragged Ron back to the castle.

"Harry! You must be bloody insane! Are you saying you agree with whatever Hagrid spout?" the red head screamed at this friend's ear.

"NO! OF COURSE NOT! I'm mad enough as it is, and Hagrid isn't helping us at all. If he doesn't wanna help us, we're gonna need to help ourselves," Harry said, stomping off like a little kid.

"Harry! Ha— jeez this guy really does whatever he wants, doesn't he?" Ron sighed.

Ron immediately ran towards his best friend and jumped on top of his, causing him to stumble a few steps.

"Hehehe cheer up Harry, if not, I'll make you carry me all the way to the top of the Astronomy Tower," Ron said jokingly, attempting to make Harry smile, which worked.

"Ohh all right, I'll race you back to the common room! Last one will be rewarded with all our homeworks!" Harry said, tripping his friend and running back to the common room at full speed.

"Hah! That's the Harry I know," Ron said, before catching up with his friend.

Back in the Slytherine common room, Draco just sat on the couch opposite the fireplace, staring at mid-air.

Sigh "Why is it so hard to get her? Oh god, Draco, you must be losing your touch," the blonde said to himself, burying his face in his palms.

"Master Malfoy, you have a letter addressed to you," Dobby, the house elf said timidly, "it seems to be from Hermione Granger sire."

Immediately, Draco's face lit up and snatched the letter from the elf.

"You may leave now Dobby. Thank you for your hard work," Draco brushed him off before reading the letter.

Malfoy, I have been wrong about you. I shouldn't have brush you off the other time. Forgive me for my foolishness. I guess I just had a bad day, which was why …anyways, I appreciate the offer you gave me, and I will gladly be your partner for the Yule's Ball. So…I shall be seeing you soon I presume? I'll be waiting for you at the Great Hall's staircase at 7, on the day of the Yule's Ball. Don't even think of coming late.

-Hermione Granger

"Woah, I guess that mudblood finally knows what she's missing," the blonde said, his voice oozing with confidence.

"So if you mix a pixie's dust with a dragon's egg, you'll get…a failure…AHHH THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS! How the hell did Professor Snape finish this potion?! Gosh, I'm seriously losing my touch. Potion classes used to be my forte. I could do this with my eyes closed," Hermione sighed at the sight of her failed experiment, only to be greeted by a familiar owl.

"Hedwid? What are you doing here?" she asked, walking toward the snow-white owl, with a letter attached to it.

"For me?"

As soon as she took the letter, Hedwig flew away. She sat on the wooden chair nearby and read the content of the letter.

Hey you Granger. Forgive me for my rudeness the other time. I was wrong. It's the first time I'm apologizing so you'd better feel honored. I hope you're still considering the offer I gave, because my feelings have never changed since then. I'll be waiting for you at the Great Hall's entrance at 7 on the night of the Yule's Ball. Be late and you'll regret it.

-Draconian Malfoy.

"That's odd," the bushy-haired brunette said, hiding her blush in the darkness.

"Hehe, mission accomplished brother!" the Weasley twins whispered to each other, feeling a sense of accomplishment looking at the satisfied look both Hermione and Draco had on their faces.

"Now it's time to get a date for Wood," Fred stated, rubbing this chin, attempting to think.

"Don't fret brother. I've got it all under control. It was easier than I thought it would be," George patted Fred's back, confident of his plan.

"Don't tell it's that girl?! Forge, tell me it's not true. If you get her, we might as well forget about getting Wood and Hermione back!"

"It's all okay Gred, Wood is practically head over heels in love with Granger. And getting someone that is obsessed with Wood won't make it fake. Trust me on this. I want Hermione to get back with Wood, the quicker, the better. Seeing him in such a sorry state is maddening."

"Hah! That's true! Forge!"

"Of course! I'm a genius!"

"Cho Chang, huh? That'll be interesting Forge!"

A/N: Yeaaaa!! Chapter 10 is done!! The next chapter will be coming out soon, so R&R people!!
