"The Parchment"
Prologue
'He called me mudblood again! How could he throw such a revolting insult at me when he is only steps away from becoming a dirty deatheater!' Hermione thought after another day of being brutally insulted by Draco Malfoy.
She was in her dormitory deeply upset, still she did not cry; she swore to herself that she could cry over anything; anything but Draco Malfoy. Come to think of it who would ever cry over such a useless, insensitive, egotistical narcissus. Nobody as far as Hermoine knew.
'No one could ever care for such a beast, he couldn't get worse, he's so revolting flies wouldn't dare come near him (not that I consider Crabbe and Goylle flies) Well I better stop thinking about him if I still want to consider keeping my sanity or going mad just because of the biggest scum on earth' With that Hermione drifted off angrily to sleep, with only one thought plastered on her brain 'I hate Draco Malfoy!!!'
Chapter one: Proposals
"Good morning Hermione" greeted Ron Weasley happily as Hermione entered the Gryffindor common room obviously looking tired from last night.
She just grunted apparently she didn't want to be bothered after having such a bad night.
"Had a bad night huh?" started Harry "You know you shouldn't have gone out there in the first place"
"Well, if I have known that Draco Malfoy would be out there in the first place, I wouldn't have gone out there would I?" argued Hermione as she forced out a yawn.
"No you wouldn't, Sorry Herm, let's keep the subject OFF Malfoy from now on O.K.? "
"Yeah" said Hermione as she let out another yawn
"I'm starved! Lets get on to breakfast," sputtered Ron.
The Great Hall was so lively today; crowds of students entered the hall as breakfast was being served. Ron rushed to the Gryffindor table and impatiently awaited his food. Harry and Hermoine quickly followed.
Hermione was so sleepy her hair slipped right in her bowl of soup, when she had finally noticed it, she stood up suddenly and the soup splattered right on her robes.
"Oh no, I have to go and change" she said alarmingly. She could just hear the Slytherin's continuous; rather stupid laughs as she left the Great Hall. She noticed that nobody was laughing harder than Malfoy.
"Git." She murmured furiously. "It's his actual fault I'm in this mess anyway, the bastard!'
Hermione marched angrily towards the Gryffindor common room and then up to her dormitory. She entered the room so furious at a certain blond-haired silver-eyed moron by the name of Draco Malfoy. She continued to grumble and cuss with her anger by the thought of him.
Meanwhile at the Gryffindor table:
"What's wrong with Hermione? She doesn't seem to be her self this morning" Seamus Finnegan curiously questioned Ron and Harry.
"Well, she um. had a little encounter last night with Malfoy, honestly I don't know what happened, but I know it was something bad." said Harry
"Yeah, and she came back to the common room at midnight as I remember, and was very angry, and I do mean angry" continued Ron munching down a piece of kidney pie.
"And oh yeah, she got caught by Filch and Mc Gonnagal so that made more trouble" added Harry
"I see, no wonder she was so pissed," said Seamus
"Hey look Dumbledore's making an announcement"
The Great Hall was suddenly silent as the headmaster rose to declare something.
"I'm so sorry for interrupting tour tantalizing feast, but I have an announcement to make, don't worry I'll be very brief. You see, due to the sober events occurring these past few weeks we would advise you to stay at school this Christmas."
There were murmurs and whispers in the hall as Dumbledore said this. It seemed rather rational to some students, because of the current situation, with Voldemort reborn and all.
"Do not worry, if your parents insist on your presence at your homes during the holidays, we will not hesitate to let you go. Providing, that your parents come to fetch you personally and as well as bring you back."
Just then Professor Mc Gonnagal leaned over to Dumbledore and whispered something.
"Oh yes" Dumbledore replied suddenly "In order for you dear students not to get bored at your stay here this Christmas, we will hold a ball. A ball similar to the Triwizard Tournament's Yule Ball, but to make the difference all years will be invited."
At that moment, the hall was filled with cheers of celebration. Almost all the students reacted to this. Harry was overjoyed; he wished deeply to have another shot at asking Cho Chang to the ball. Ron looked funny, probably worrying if he'll have any body to go with. He thought of Hermione. Oh yes Hermione, the last time he asked her, she already had someone to go with, and if he really wanted to go with her, she told hem to ask her before anyone else does as a last retort. He surely had a shot now; Hermione probably didn't have a date yet considering that she wasn't here to hear the announcement. 'Great' thought Ron 'I'll ask her'.
Speaking of Hermione, here she comes right now. Hermione just slipped in to the Great Hall, looking rather confused. She approached the table and slipped just in between Ron and Harry.
"What's the celebration about?" she asked them curiously.
Ron was itching to ask Hermione if she could go with him, so before Harry could answer he vigilantly responded.
"Um Dumbledore just made an announcement, says the Yule Ball's gonna be held again this Christmas"
"Oh, Great, we'll have a lot of fun, right Harry" said Hermione
"Yeah, I think I'll go ask Cho again" he said uncertainly
"C'mon give it another try, she might go for you this time"
And with Hermione's supporting words Harry made his way to the Ravenclaw table.
"Hope she says yes, don't you Ron?" Hermione turned to a stuttering Ron
"Y-yup, Um. H-Herm, c-could you, I mean w-would you like to. um"
"For goodness sakes Ron spit it out!" she said.
"Would you like to go to the ball with me? There I said it." Said Ron, rather nervous, he felt blood rushing up to his cheeks as she just stared at him.
Finally, Hermione snapped out of it and forced out a vague answer.
"Of course, Ron, Yes."
Ron couldn't believe his ears. He and Hermione were actually going to a ball.together.
A/N: Kinda corny huh? Well there will be many chapters to come. And it will be long times before the love begins to blossom so keep reading.
