A/N: After getting a review, asking if my Romance fic was any diffferent
from the rest, from a person who only read the first chapter*coughs*I have
decided to change the direction I was going to take this chapter, so stick
with reading it!!! I know everyone wants those two younginz to go to the
halloween ball, but just wait!!!!
Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to harry potter, but i do own this plot line.
It was a cool, crisp Saturday afternoon, and Hogwarts was all a buzz. Guys were asking girls to save them a dance. Girls were gossiping while pinning over what to wear. The head boy and girl were. . .well, what were they doing actually, no one knows.
"Draco Malfoy if you do not stop right now I will curse you for the rest of your living AND dying years!!!" Hermione screeched through the Great Hall. Right now they were supposed to be putting up decorations, but clearly they were not.
"I was JUST trying to break the silence, jeez Granger lighten up a bit, love" Malfoy whispered in her ear. He always had a way of sneaking up on people, like a natural born talent.
"Whatever!" Hermione sighed while walking to the other side of the hall. It was clear to Draco that she had no interest in talking, or doing anything else for that matter. The rest of the day went by with out her saying a single word to him, unless it was something like:
"Draco hang that higher"
"Draco thats all wrong, jeez, I thought you were supposed to be SMART!"
"Draco go do something, Please!!! This is nerve racking enough as is!!!"
Hermione was getting really annoyed, something was wrong with Malfoy. He was never this nice, he had changed so much since they had to start living together, most of the time she didn't mind it at all, but today it was just getting on her nerves, REALLY BAD!!! Draco on the other hand, just felt a little, Okay maybe more than a little awkward, and thought talking(a bold move) would make the atmosphere brighten.
"Hey 'Mione!! Need any help?" Ron asked cheerfully, rumor had it that HE was taking Pansy Parkinson to the ball, looks like Draco wasn't the only Slytherin going soft. Hermione's reply sounded a lot like Malfoy's when you said something to him he didn't want to hear.
"Jeez, what's wrong Hermione, I only want to help!" Ron said dramically.
"She has been in a bad mood all day." Draco said monotonously.
"No I haven't Draco, I just. . ." Hermione began to trail off, and mumbled.
"Okay, somethings going on here, hmm, kissy, kissy, huggy, huggy!" Ron teased. He walked out of the Great Hall laughing. 'Ahhhh, revenge always has a bittersweet flavor!' Ron said in his head.
That night was loud and swirling with color. When Ginny and Harry arrived they were greeted by a beautiful bewitching faerie and a handsome young ghostly knight-better known as Hermione and Draco. After walking to an empty table Ginny said to Harry:
"Their costumes don't match, hmm, somethings wrong. . ."
"Something is always wrong when Malfoy is around!" Harry exclaimed.
Soon all of Hogwarts was gathered in the Great Hall, and of course Dumbledore gave his speech and thanked the head boy and girl, then the fun began. Hermione, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Pansy, and Draco were all sitting at a table, getting along to some's despair, when Seamus Finnigan waltzed over to stand in between where Hermione and Draco were sitting.
" Sup Hermione, everyone else?" Seamus said in a smooth voice.
"I'm fine, how about yourself, Seamus?" Hermione asked politely while turning around in her chair.
"Well, I am fine also, but I would be even better, if you cared to join me in a dance, Ms.Granger." Seamus said with more confidence than Malfoy during a Potions exam. Ginny and Pansy were giggling and Seamus held out his hand to help Hermione up.
"I would love to!" Hermione Granger smiled, she looked absolutely beautiful, and Finnigan had just stolen her from one jealous Slytherin.
"Well, Draco, it looks as if jealousy has washed down upon you like a wave breaking upon a rock." Ron grinned. Seamus gracefully spun Hermione around the dance floor, slowly only to bring her into his embrace. They spent most of the night on the dance floor, Draco hiding in the shadows, wishing he was different, wishing he were nicer, better, anything just as long as he could be with Hermione. The night ended, and Seamus wished Hermione a great night, kissed her on the cheek and left. The head boy and girl thanked everyone for coming and worked some on the clean up of the great hall.
"I think we did a wonderful job, don't you Draco?" Hermione's mood had improved ten fold
"Yeah I guess" Draco seemed depressed to Hermione, so she hurried up with cleaning, he probably wanted to be left alone.
"Well, I think that's most of it, we can go now if you want . . ." Hermione said, she didn't try to cheer Draco up, for she knew that was already impossible.
"I am just going to finish up these last two tables, you can go on ahead, I will be right behind you." His voice did have more emotion, but those soft silver soul-bearing eyes gave him away. With that Hermione left him alone in the Great Hall, unknowing to the dangers ahead. (A/N: this part may get confuzzling, so I am going to divide it into Hermione's path and Draco's path, basically, whats happening with Granger, and whats happening with Malfoy.)
Hermione:
She walked in the deep darkness, her thoughts following her every turn. She heard something. . .someone behind her. Hermione whipped around to see nothing, but as she turned to continue on her course back to her dorm, she ran into someone.
"Sorry! I didn't see you standing there." Hermione went around the person and was continuing down the hall when a hand reached out and caught her arm.
"Where do you think you are going Granger" Blaise Zabini hissed.
Draco:
'Stupid Slytherins don't know how to clean up after themselves!' Draco thought
'Wait, what am I saying? I am a Slytherin!!!' Life was becoming one huge headache for Draco Malfoy, he was falling in love with the enemy, his father whom he never really cared about was in Azkaban, waiting for the kiss that would take him form this world, his mother was never around now that she had control of the Malfoy Manor, and he really didn't know who he was anymore. Draco was about to leave when his foot hit something, when he took it into the light, it was whiskey, and it was sitting beside Blaise Zabini's empty chair.
"Oh shit" Malfoy exclaimed out loud while breaking into a run, he had a bad feeling in his gut, something was wrong. . .
Hermione:
"Zabini leave me the hell alone, it's past curfew, go to your dorm!" Hermione shouted
"Not before I have a little fun. . ." Blaise whispered seductivly into Hermione's ear. He violently threw her against the wall, and pinned her to it.
"I wonder how a mudblood's lips taste" Blaise sneered as he was pushing his own lips onto Hermione's.
Normal:
"Get off her you sick Bastard!!" Draco commanded. Blaise looked over at Malfoy and grinned before saying,
"Wanna join in on the fun Draco? Granger is a really. . ." But his sentence was cut off by the sound of Draco's fist smashing into his jaw.
"Hermione-GO!" Draco shouted at his secret love, hot tears were rolling down her face, but she didn't move. Blaise got up and growled angerly at Draco before moving toward him to strike. CRRRAACKKK! Zabini had forgotten about Granger, who just broke his nose. Blaise Zabini stumbled back a few feet, blood gushing out of his nose, before turning and breaking into a run. As he left he could be heard yelling:
"Draco Malfoy, your a damn traitor, and you'll have hell to pay for this!"
"Fuck you Blaise!" Draco spat at the retreating Slytherin, then he turned toward Hermione. She looked on the edge of hysterical cries and furious curses. Their were bruises on her wrists, and it hurt Draco to look at her, he felt like it was all his fault, he shouldn't have let her go alone.
"Draco I'm sorry. . ." Hermione whispered before falling to her knees and crying. Draco rushed to her side, and pulled her into his embrace.
"Shhh, don't cry Hermione it wasn't your fault. Blaise is just a drunken asshole." Anger still lined his voice, but it was calming, and he stroked her hair. Hermione's sobs quieted, and they stood up, Draco's arm place firmly around her waist, and they walked towards their tower. . .together.
A/N: that was a nice long chapter!!! I am so proud of it!! Maybe Hermione may see the light in Draco's heart after all. . . REVIEW PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE!!!!
