"Are you alright?" Draco finally asked

The teens were sitting awkwardly in the large garden outside. Sitting next to each other, each with their hands folded in their laps. The only sounds were the dribbling of water from the numerous fountains and Hermione's occasional sniffling.

"Yeah, I guess. It's just hard when everyone's judging you and they don't even know you." Hermione said pulling her hair up into a messy bun, "I know I'm not pureblood material but I didn't know everyone would be talking about how unfit I was to be in the Zabini family."

"That's how all the old bats are in the pureblood society." Draco tried to reassure her.

He noticed the comments coming from the older occupants of the Zabini's party but he also noticed all the gazes she caught from the younger male guests and decided not to mention that.

Hermione took a deep breath and stood up. She ran a hand down her dress to smooth it, "Thanks for helping me Draco."

Draco smirked, "No problem, it's worth it because I got to spend time with the most beautiful girl at the ball."

Hermione looked confused which made Draco smirk even more. "You think I'm beautiful?" She asked shocked.

"Who said I was talking about you?" He said with a serious face

Hermione smiled slightly and pushed him playfully. He chuckled causing her to giggle.

"Well I think I'm going to head up to my room." Hermione said quietly.

"Why? The party just started."

"It's not my type of party."

"Purebloods have these types of parties weekly."

Hermione groaned and Draco laughed.

"I'm going to go to bed." Hermione decided.

Draco nodded and held out his arm for her to take. She took it with a smile, reaching up with the other hand and taking the hair bow out of her hair. She shook her head a couple of times until her hair was lying flat on her back. She smiled up at the blond and started walking. When they got back into the ball room Hermione was shocked to see that none of the teenagers were in the room anymore.

"Where did everyone go?" She asked ducking her head as the elder purebloods turned their gazes on her again.

Draco smirked, "The pool."

"Why?"

Draco smirked again.

XOXO

Hermione's violet eyes widened as they reached the pool. All the girls that had been dressed so elegantly were now wearing skimpy bikinis or super short low cut dresses and grinding up against shirtless guys wearing their swimming suits. The music was blaring and starting to give her a head ache.

She turned to Draco with a shocked look on her face. He shrugged with a smirk playing on his lips, "Purebloods know how to party."

"Drake!" A high-pitched squeal came as a gorgeous girl threw herself into Draco.

The girl's black hair reached the small of her back and her skin was extremely tan. She was wearing a tiny black bikini and an emerald mini skirt. She turned around wrapping Draco's arms around her waist as she looked up at Hermione. She sneered, "So you're the new Zabini?"

"Kanani." Draco scolded the beautiful girl. (A/N: Kah-nah-knee)

Hermione averted her eyes, "I'm going to go find Blaise." She mumbled and started walking off.

Draco pulled his arms away from Kanani and started after her, "Ill come." He offered.

Hermione turned around and pushed a piece of hair away from her face. "It's alright stay here ." She said quietly and turned to find her brother.

XOXO

Hermione saw Ginny sitting on a poolside chair still in her ball gown and with her head resting in her hands. She sat down next to the redhead and placed her hand on her back.

Ginny jumped at the touch but when she saw it was Hermione she put on a weak smile. "What's wrong Gin?" Hermione asked.

"Nothing…" Her voice came out strained.

"Are you okay?"

"Fine, fine." Her high-pitched reply was.

"Okay well I'm going to go up to my room and was just looking to tell Blaise. Do you know where he is?"

Ginny giggled and pointed to where Blaise was dancing.

"Oh. My. God."

XOXO

Blaise was still wearing his black dress pants but his white shirt was un-tucked and un-buttoned. His tie was wrapped around a girl he was dancing with and he was grinding into her.

"Blaise…" Hermione said hesitantly.

Blaise stopped dancing and looked up at his sister. The girl turned around and kept grinding into him along with the music. He started swaying with her and put a smile on his face.

Hermione gasped when she saw the girls face. Her long black hair was wild and she was wearing a tiny dark green bikini. She looked just like the girl who had come up to Draco.

"Mione," Blaise smirked as he placed his hands on the girl's bare waist.

"Kanai." The girl said sticking her hand out. (A/N: Kah-nie)

"Hermione…" Hermione said introducing herself.

"Okay well I can tell you're having fun..." Hermione cleared her throat addressing her brother, "dancing… but I'm going to bed."

"No stay and dance!" Kanai yelled out grabbing her hand and tried to get Hermione to move with her.

Hermione blushed as the girl wrapped her arms around her neck and pushed up against her. "No, I'm really tired." She said backing out of her hold.

Kanai shrugged and wrapped her arms around Blaise's neck. He started grinding into her again, pulling her closer. Hermione looked at him shocked and he grinned back shrugging. She shook her head and started walking away.

"You might want to wear earplugs tonight!" She heard Blaise call after her.

"EW!" Hermione squealed and started walking faster.
