but oh well! Hope you like and please please please please please review!
( Thanx!
Hermione groaned as she rolled over. It was too early in the morning to get up. She didn't even know why she had woken up in the first place. It was only 4:30, by the time on the digital clock. And yet there was something nagging in the back of her mind. Something that just wouldn't go away! Hermione opened her eyes slowly to clear her thoughts. Ginny was sleeping beside her bed. That was strange. She should be in the 4th year girls' dorm. But she rolled over again and tried to go back to sleep before sorting it out. Then her eyes flew open again in shock and she fell off the bed. Again. The dare! She had to ask Draco Malfoy out!
"Ouch!" Hermione heard from beside her on the floor. "Would whoever it is that's sitting on my hand please get off?" she heard Ginny mutter sleepily.
"Hermione sprang up and crawled over to Ginny. "Ginny, Ginny, wake up! Was last night real?"
"Of course last night was real. Every night is real," Ginny replied grumpily. Mornings never seemed to agree with Ginny, and it was worse when it was 4:30 after going to sleep at 3.
"No! The dare! The dare about Malfoy! That wasn't real, was it?" Hermione asked frantically.
That seemed to stir Ginny a bit. She sat up and looked at Hermione. "Yeah, the dare was real. You have to ask Draco Malfoy out! I feel really, really, really sorry for you Hermione, but it is 4:30 in the morning, and there will be plenty of time to worry about it later. Now goodnight!" Ginny rolled back over and refused to wake up again.
Hermione paced back and forth. 'What should I do? Let's see, I know! I could explain this to Harry and Ron, and they would get him expelled so I wouldn't have a chance! Yeah! That's it! Then Hermione remembered the last term Lavender and Parvati had added. "Don't tell anyone, not even Harry, Ron, or your own mother about this! It will be a secret between us and Ginny. No one else!" Well, there goes that option! What about.?' But Hermione could think of no other ways to get out of this dare. 'I guess I have to do this! Let's see, it's September, that gives me six months to go out with Draco. I can't deal with this! I need more sleep!' So Hermione went back to bed and fell into a fitful sleep.

Hermione woke a few hours later, at 8 o'clock. She almost screamed as she saw two faces staring down at her.
"She's awake! Day 1 begins!" Lavender announced.
"Oh, go away!" Hermione groaned.
"Nope! Breakfast in thirty! Have to look good for your future date!" Parvati said cheerfully.
"Dares are stupid. Go away!"
"Oh, Neville!" Lavender started to call out in a sing-spongy voice.
"Okay! I'm up!" Hermione replied. The last thing she needed was for Neville to chase her. It was bad enough that she had to chase Malfoy!
Hermione nearly stepped on Ginny getting up. "Ginny, come on, wake up! You have to help me! I have to ask Draco out today! Find me something to wear!"
At the word wear, Ginny suddenly sprang to life. "Okay, what to wear, what to wear. Do you have any Muggle clothes with you?" Hogwarts students had taken to wearing Muggle clothing on weekends.
"Yeah, in my closet," Hermione said glumly.
"Oh, cheer up! You ask him out, he'll say yes, you go out with him, you kiss him, and then you can dump him! Simple as that!" Ginny tried to comfort Hermione.
"Well, okay. Sounds a little bit like I'm using him to me."
"He's Malfoy. Think about it! He calls you Mudblood!" Ginny exclaimed.
"That's true! He deserves it!"
"Right! Now let's get you dressed girl and stun him!"
************************************************************************
Twenty-five minutes later, Hermione came walking out of her dorm, wobbling a little on her high heels. Hermione didn't know how Ginny did it. She had no older sisters, and yet she was a whiz with make-up and clothes! She had first rejected all of Hermione's conservative clothes, and instead opted for her own. Hermione was now wearing a fairly short black skirt (sophisticated, Ginny had called it) with a fairly tight, V- neck purple top. Her best features had been brought out with carefully chosen make-up, while her hair for once was not bushy or frizzy, but sleek and shiny. She looked pretty good, she had to admit. 'And to think it's all for Malfoy,' she thought wryly.
Harry and Ron were waiting for her down in the common room. She came down hesitantly, not knowing what they would say. "Umm.hey guys!"
Harry and Ron turned from their discussion on who was the best player on the Chudley Cannons to greet Hermione. Their mouths dropped open at the sight of her. Hermione never wore make-up, or took that much interest in clothes!
"Hi, Hermione. Um, you look different," Harry finally said.
Ron, who did not like Hermione like everyone thought, still thought that she looked good. "Hey. What happened?"
"Oh no! Does it look bad?" Hermoine asked, panicking.
"No, no, it looks fine. Good. Really!" Harry reassured her when he saw the doubt on her face. "Just different."
"Yeah, it looks good," Ron said.
"Okay," Hermione said as they set off to breakfast.
************************************************************************
Draco was having a bad day. First of all, he hadn't gotten a good night's sleep because of Crabbe's snoring, then he had woken up at 5 and couldn't get back to sleep, he had no hot water in the shower, and he couldn't find his favorite shirt. 'Maybe breakfast will perk me up,' he thought tiredly.
He walked into the Great Hall. He looked for Potter and his friends, because, of course, nothing would make him happier than making fun of the three idiots. But they weren't there yet. Another thing gone wrong. He sighed, and sat down to eat.
Someone came into the room while he was loading eggs on his plate, but he didn't bother to look. Until, that is, there started to be murmurs. Everyone seemed to be staring at whoever it was who just walked in. His curiosity aroused, Draco turned to look. There was Granger, shyly waving to boy from Ravenclaw who had yelled "Hi!" at her. She looked amazing. Her never imagined Granger had such a perfect face, or body, or hair. He wondered how he had never noticed. Then he mentally shook himself. 'That was Granger, you idiot!' He turned back to his food. He couldn't help but notice that Granger was looking at him funny, though. 'It's nothing,' he told himself. 'But still.'
************************************************************************
Hermione had never expected that a little make-up and some cool clothes could give her this much attention. She was getting Hellos from people who had never really noticed her before. But she couldn't help looking at Malfoy. After all, he was who she was trying to date, thanks to Lavender and Parvati.
Ginny nudged her in the ribs. "You're staring!" she hissed.
"Well, I can't help it! I have to ask him out today!" Hermione hissed back.
Harry and Ron, being the usual dense boys that they were, didn't notice a thing. "Pass the salt please," Harry said merrily to Hermione.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, sure," Hermione muttered distractively as she passed him the bacon. Harry stared at her.
"Woah! They changed the names of everything!" Ron exclaimed. "What am I eating right now?" he asked, gesturing to his eggs.
Hermione didn't even look. "Gumdrops," she guessed.
"Ookkaayy." Ron said.
But Harry and Ron just figured she was thinking about a big test they had coming up.
Soon, breakfast was over. Hermione dragged Ginny as quickly as she could out to the hall. "I have to ask him right now, or else I'll lose my nerve!" she exclaimed.
"Okay, just calm down. He'll say yes!" Ginny said soothingly.
"Really?"
"Uh, sure. There he is! Just go!"
Ginny gave Hermione a push towards Malfoy. Before she lost her nerve, Hermione grabbed Malfoy by the arm. "I need to speak to you," she hissed as she dragged him to an empty classroom. Crabbe and Goyle weren't out yet, so she didn't have to worry about them. And Malfoy seemed too stunned to do anything. Hermione pushed him inside and shut the door. She turned to Malfoy.
"Will you go out with me?" she asked calmly and coolly, as if she were perfectly calm instead of a bundle of nerves inside. No way was she going to fail a test!
Malfoy just stared at her. Oh, no! Was he going to say yes or no? What if he just laughed hysterically? What if he shouted for all to hear that "Hermione Granger has a crush on me!" What had she gotten herself into?
That's the end of the second chapter! What do you think? PLEASE REVIEW!!!!! I LOVE REVIEWS!!!!!! Next chapter up soon. What do you think Malfoy will do?
