Chapter fifteen: A Ball to Remember.

Hermione waited for Ron and Harry to leave the common room before leaving her own room. She was dressed in her beautiful Pink dress that she had bought at Hogsmede over the weekend. She crept out of her room and down the stairs and up the stairs on the other side.

She walked to the door to where Harry, Ron, Dean, Neville, Seamus and Terry shared. She knocked to make sure no one was inside, when she was sure no one was in there she slowly opened the door and walked in.

She quickly walked over to Harry's trunk and opened it and dug around until she found The Marauders Map. She picked up the map and put it into a little bitty white beaded purse that she had charmed to expand to hold tons of things.

She shut his trunk and quickly made her way down to the great hall, hopefully Draco had done his part of the task.

OoOoOoOoO

"Is.. Is that Hermione Granger?" She heard people say as she walked down the marble staircase. She saw Viktor or Draco, who ever it was and walked over to him.

"Hello Viktor." She said hesitantly.

"Draco." He said smiling at her, and she got a big smile on her face. He had managed to complete his part of the task.

"Hello Drake." She corrected herself "Are we ready to go."

"Well since I'm Viktor, we have to dance in front of every one. It's tradition for the champions and their dates to dance first." He told her.

"Okay lets go get in line then." She said pulling him toward where Harry and Padma where standing behind Cedric and Cho.

"Wow, Ginny was right, I never would have guessed." Harry told her making Hermione giggle and Draco/Viktor laugh. "What? What's so funny?" He asked looking confused.

"You have no idea…" Hermione said as the doors opened and everyone began to flood into the great hall.

After all of the regular people had entered the hall it was time for the champions to walk in.

"Pansy, I have a feeling I'm forgetting something." They heard the real Viktor say and the both tried to hid their laughs.

They got to the middle of the hall and turned to face each other and as the music began to play they started waltzing around the room.

"This is fun, 'Mione." He said with out using Viktor's accent.

"It sure is Drake." She hadn't even noticed that other people had started to dance. All she saw was him. "Oh my god! Drake you hair." She said giggling as she looked at the blond streak in his hair appeared.

"Come on, lets get out of here before my cover is blown. Like Viktor's over there." He said as he grabbed her hand and they quickly made their way to the door.

"Hey Krum, What did you do to your hair?" Ron asked as they passed.

"He didn't do anything Ronald. Good bye." Hermione said and then they ran out the door.

"Where do you think your going with that pig!" Ron shouted after them. " He's going to defile you."

Hermione just laughed and they ran up the stairs giggling.

"Hermione!" Ron yelled.

"Ron leave her alone!" Ginny yelled after him. "Oh no! don't you dare try to follow them!"

"RUN!" Draco said not hiding his own voice.

"What the bloody hell!" Ron shouted. "Who are you with Mione!"

"Viktor!" She shrieked and frantically said the password to a secret passage and they ran into it. The passage the picked went up to the Astronomy tower. The burst through the other end laughing hysterically. Draco looked like himself again. "The look on his face was priceless. " She said laughing.

"I know, but he's to stupid to figure this one out." Draco said as they walked over to the ledge. "Watch them find us this time too." he laughed. "Since they have that map and all."

"No, no they wont." She said pulling it out of her bag. "Cause I have it." She had a smirk on her face, a smirk worthy of a Malfoy.

"Then I guess I can do this." He said just as a snow flake fell from the sky and landed on Hermione's head. He bent forward and kissed her. This time no interruptions came as they had many times before. Harry was many floors below them with Ron, Ginny and Neville, Hopefully. They continued to kiss as the cool flakes of snow began to pick up as it swirled around them making the moment even more magical.

"Do you know how long I have wanted to do that?" He asked her when the pulled away. He placed his forehead on hers.

"No," She said looking into his silver eyes. "how long?"

"Since the beginning of last year, I almost did out on the lake but I chickened out." He admitted.

"I know, I was there." she joked.

"You are a cruel person." He said kissing her again this time more passionately. They both felt love for each other the entire time.

OoOoOoOoO

Hermione ran down stairs from the astronomy tower later that night and she ran into the common room to find Ginny who was actually in the common room. Ron and Harry were on the other side of there room.

"Ginny!" She shrieked. "You will never guess what just happened!"

"What!" All three people asked.

"Ginny, Draco kissed me!" She whispered to where only Ginny could hear.

"OHMYGOD!" The girl screamed. "You have to tell me everything!"

"Okay come on, lets go upstairs so no one can listen in." Hermione said and Ginny and her made their way up stairs.

"Why are we always left out?" Ron whined.

"I can think of a few reasons." Harry said and looked back at what he had been doing.

OoOoOoOoO

Hermione went home for the remainder of the holidays, and it was horrible. Her parents made her spend every waking moment with Zack who apparently had more tentacles than a Snarfalogge plant.( i dont know if i spelled that right, i heard it in the 6th movie... thought it would work. srry for the interuption.)

"Mi, why wont you let me kiss you, we are engaged." Zack asked as they sat on the couch watching TV.

"Because… I'm not going to cheat on my boyfriend." she lied, he wasn't

technically her boyfriend yet.

"Excuse me," He said choking on air, "Boyfriend?"

"That's what I said." she saod coldly.

"That is un acceptable Hermione, you are to leave him this instance." He commanded furiously.

"I will do no such thing. I- I love him." She said and then realized the truth of her words. "I love him, not you."

"Excuse me young Lady?" She heard her father say from behind her. Her mother and Myra ware gaping at her in terror.

"I love my boyfriend, not this sorry excuse for a man." She said defiantly.

"You don't know what love is!" Her mother screamed at her.

"Yes I do. It's feeling loved when you have nothing else, feeling safe even in the most dangerous situation, seeing no one except the person you love when you are around him and feeling whole when he kisses you. Love is the feeling that makes your heart ache so much that you want to cry for hours, and makes you hurt when you are away from him." She said, tears stinging her eyes.

"You're just a little whore." Her mother said. Hermione couldn't help but notice how much her mother had changed over the years. Her mother had never been so heart less.

"I should have never left her with you." A female voice said from the door and they all spun around.

"Amethyst what are you doing here?" Hermione's mother said.

"Well Lauren, first of all I am here to tell you that you cant make her do anything. She's not even your daughter!"

"Ame, I am sure you are mistaken." Myra said sure that her friend wasnt lieing.

"Have you looked at her! She looks nothing Like Lori or Christopher, But instead she looks like me and..." She trailed off trying not to say her husbands name. "Hermia, dear go pack you bags your coming with me, Since i am your mother." Amethyst said and Hermione sprinted up the stairs in excitement. Her life was going to get better and for once she was right. It got even better. "I cant beleive you were going to make my daughter Marry him!" She screamed at her sister

Hermione was in shock, she had always known that she looked like her Aunt, well her mother as she now knew, but she would have never guessed.

"Ame you have to understand." Laura was saying to her sister, "I thought that by you giving her to me, i was free to do as i wanted. You didnt want her around your husband!"

"For reasons like that Lori! I didnt want her or Baby G around him any more, he would have been such a bad influence. I had to tell him Baby was dead and place concealment charms on her. I cant even say her name in public. I knew he would want arranged marriges for both of them and that he would want them to be just like him."

"I'm ready." Hermione said from the foot of the stairs. She had basically only gotten her hogwarts stuff, some clothes, her laptop, diary she shared with Draco and her wand. She was all read to go and start her new life with her real mom.

"Well that was your fault. You Married him." Lori spat.

"And i left him!" Ame screamed.

"Hermione dont you dare take another step. If you do you are to never come back."

"What if i dont want to come back Aunt Lori." Hermione said using the title aunt, since that was what she was.

"Come, lets go." Ame said helping hermione with her stuff and then they left.

OoOoOoOoO
