RECAP

" "Yes someone special." Draco whispered into her ear, his warm breath tickling her earlobe and her neck."

Chapter 10

Wait what am I doing? Draco panicked. This was not suppose to happen. Shit. She looked delicious in this dress.. Wait no she is a muggleborn. I should not be doing this. Draco Malfoy stop before you go too far, he scolded himself in his head.

Draco Fucking Malfoy. Stop this instant. Oh what am I going to do. I need to escape..go away Hermione begged and squirmed under his piercing gaze.

"BOO!" Skia jumped out from behind the pile of clothes. Her hood was up, pretending to be a panther of some sorts. "AHHH!" Ginny screamed, dropping the dresses on to the floor. "Hehee, you got scared" Skia pointed with her little finger and rolled on the floor laughing. "Come on, Skia. We should go before M'ione tries to escape this place. I still need to find a dress for her." Ginny picked up the dresses and weave her way back through the maze of dresses. She rounded the corner to the changing rooms, followed closely by Skia.

"Hermione, look at the dres – OH MY GOSH!" Ginny froze at the sight of the couple, her words lost in her throat. They sprang apart, Draco in his calm composure and a blushing Hermione. "We found you some dresses, Hermy" Skia squeaked as she bounced around the room, popped a Droobles* (A/N: Definition in the author's note at the bottom of the page) in her mouth and completely oblivious to the awkward tension. "Yeah..that's right. I found you some dresses.." Ginny spluttered, awkwardly handing Hermione the pile of dresses. "Thanks Ginny." She smiled, still blushing furiously. Glaring at Malfoy, she stalked into the changing room and locks the door. As the door clicked shut, awkward silence filled the room. Focus..focus on the dare. Don't want to make this more difficult than it is. He desperately thought, trying to calm is beating heart. He looked around the store, a smirk slowly appear on his face , as he went into the corner of the shop.

What was that Hermione? You could have shoved him away. But noooo, you had to be afraid. Hermione scolded herself and banged her head on the changing room wall. Sighing, she grabbed one of the many dresses that Ginny handed her and changed. I don't like this dress. The color is disgusting. She thought as she twirled in front of the huge mirror in the changing room. She sighed again and unlock the door.

She was back in the changing room again with her brain muddled. Why?

Just a few minutes ago…

"You look perfect" Gushed the shopkeeper. No this looks horrible, Hermione said in her mind. The shopkeeper has been complimenting her for all of the dresses so that they might buy it. "I don't think it really fits Hermione" Ginny said with a disgusted face. Hermione twirled in the sad excuse for a dress. It was the yellowish brown color with exaggerated flowery patterns. "How about this one?" the shop keeper suggested, holding up an even uglier dress. "Umm..I don't think is the best idea—"

Malfoy was smirking at the scenario, trying to hide a chuckle of mirth. They have no taste at all. I am not buying such an ugly dress. " I don't think so" he interrupted Ginny mid-sentence. "How about…" he twirled his fingers, scanning the racks of dresses. "….this one?"he drawled. He held up an elegant strapless dress. It was made out of navy blue silk and have silver patterns etched at the top and the waist line of the dress. The bottom of the dress was puffed up but was still slim.

Now..

Hermione twirled in front of Ginny, Skia, the shop keeper and Draco Malfoy. Everyone had a look of approval while the shop keeper babbled about how beautiful the dress was on her, how it hugged her curves nicely….blah blah blah "Perfect.." Ginny whistled. Yes, its perfect..wait no I mean that her arse looks nice..wait no …oh fuck he argued with himself. "How much is it?" Hermione asked the giddy shop keeper. "10 Galleons" she replied. "What! So expensive!" Ginny exclaimed

"I refuse to spend so much on a piece of clothing." Hermione grumbled, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"I'll pay for it" Malfoy drawled.

Hermione and Ginny was shocked. A loud pop from Skia's drooble brought everything back to reality.

"No. Malfoy. We don't need you waving your money everywhere."

"Where's the cashier?" Malfoy ignored Hermione. The shopkeeper goggled at him and gesture to the front of the shop. Malfoy handed the shop keeper a sack full of coins and left the shop. Hermione was furious. She stomped out of the shop, still wearing the dress.

Malfoy stuck his hands inside his pockets and whistled. Mission accomplished. He thought, strutting down the alley. Now, what should be Blaise's dare? I know that he won't do a truth because he is not a wimp. Maybe he should – He was literally yanked out of his thoughts as a hand grabs the back of his shirt and pulled him backwards. "What the—"He yelled as he struggled to keep his balance. He turned around and saw an angry Hermione Granger, facing him, still in that pretty dress. She looks pretty like this, all hot and riled up, he mused.

"YOU STUPID GIT!" she yelled and she slapped him right across his face. He howled in pain and clutched at the red handprint that was not glowing on his right cheek, stumbling a few steps backwards.

"What was that for, Granger?" This girl can hit hard, he massaged his face.

"I didn't need your fucking money, Malfoy" she spat

"Language, Granger. Has your mother ever taught you not to swear in front of you superiors?"

"Just stop talking about those stupid purity theories." She snarled, gripping his collar jacket.

"Let's go, you'll ruin the press."

"Why? Because I'm a dirty mudblood and will get you filthy?" Anger flashed in Hermione's eyes.

"Granger. I didn't say anything—" Malfoy backed away, trying to make Hermione loosen up he grip on his collar.

"Because Ill ruin your whole purity thing because of my filthy hands?"

"Granger…"

"Here I'll pay you back." She let go of his jacket and rummaged in her purse.

"No. Granger"

"I INSIST." She yelled back.

"It's a gift. Okay? You owe me 10 galleons for the bet last time anyway." He adjusted his clothing and smoothed out the wrinkles.

"Now I'll have you pay you double" she groaned.

"No Granger." Malfoy repeated.

"I really insist."

"Don't Granger. Just say that the galleons you owed me was paid for the gift that I gave you."

"Wait but that doesn't make sense."

"But….." she spluttered "I have to pay you back."

Draco groaned at her stubbornness. He continued to massage his face. It was still burning from the slap.

"Fine you can pay me back. But only by treating me a drink"

"Okay" Hermione smiled, she was relieved that she can pay him back. She hated owing people money.

"Later at 5. At Madame Puddifoots" Draco suggested

"Sure."

Malfoy turned around and began to strut down the street.

"Malfoy?"

"Yes Granger." He groaned. Stopping and turning back to the girl.

"Sorry, about the slap. I over reacted."

"No worries." But before he can begin walking back, Hermione ran up to him.

"One last thing. Why did you buy me the dress?"

Oh…Shit. I didn't see that one coming. He stood there dumbfounded. How should I respond? Should I tell her about the bet..NO. What should l do? He panicked

Hermione stood there, waiting for her answer. What would he say? , she thought. But before she can come up with any other options, her mind exploded. Soft lips placed themselves on her's. It tasted so sweet, so delicious. Her heart pounded in her chest. It seemed that it might explode any minute. She reveled in the moment but it was gone too soon. Malfoy looked shocked as he pulled back. His eyes gleamed with shock and then he turned and ran away. Hermione touched her lips. That was a kiss, she thought. A kiss from Draco Malfoy.

Author's Note: YAYYY THEY KISSED. I finally finished another one and updated AGAIN

FYI -

Droobles: I kind of hard candy, very similar to Gobstoppers. Harry Potter Wiki says it is some kind of bubble gum

1 Galleon=5 British pounds.

Hermione's Dress – It is something like this , but may a bit more smooth.
