OOOOOOOHHHHH The Halloween Ball!!! EEEK!! Now, what will lil' Hermie do? Draco's feelin' for her and goodness what could happen? Well let's say in here we see some old friends and meet some new ones. Plus one I made up. Di is mine unless u want to borrow her of course (YEAH RIGHT!!!). But you know read on and remember my Draco is my hottie.

Hermione looked in the mirror, it was all wrong. Her make-up was all wrong! She
washed her face for the forth time. Sighing she began one last time.
Draco sat on his bed pulling his sock on. His try on putting his tuxedo was hilarious,
in his point of view at least. His cummberbun and bowtie left undone. He tied his shoes. His
blonde hair was ungelled and strands hung in his face. He looked at the offending strands and
tucked them behind his ear.
"Yes!" Hermione shouted, finally her make-up was perfect. Dabbing on the last of
her wine colored lipstick, she double checked her hair. Her wand was a miracle worker, it had
done her hair, by her command of course, and the braided crown made it look beautiful. No
bumps, no zig zags, just perfect.
Now for the dress, it hung on her door. A corset style she asked her mother which
dress would suit her and this one was immeadiately pulled out. It was one of those nice
dresses that don't need bras, it's just built into it.
Grabbing her wand she did a tightening spell on the ties. The loose ends pulled and
tied when Hermione was in there tight enough. Looking down she started to giggle when she
saw all of the cleavage the dress had given her. Draco should surely falter when he sees this.
She straightened the skirt and smiled. Definately a plus. Grabbing a housecoat she went to
answer her bedroom door.
"Yes?" There stood Draco looking as if he came home drunk, but he had a pleading
look in his eyes.
"This stupid contraption won't work." He said pointing to the bowtie and
cummberbun. "Help."
Hermione giggled. tying her housecoat so Draco couldn't see her dress, she
proceeded to tie his bowtie.
Draco stood stark still, if he moved it might bring him on top of Hermione on the
floor. Not that, that's a bad thing of course. He would love to be.... ok thoughts straying, back
on course.
"So, uh, hiding I see? Is your dress that bad?" He stuttered.
"Watch what you say sweetie, or I may just tighten this poor lil bow tie too tight." She
mockingly threatened. He chuckled and tugged on her hem.
"Why all the secrecey then? Or are you just in your knickers?" He chuckled.
"Oh you'll see. You'll want to keep me so close, the school will think we're lovers." She
whispered huskily. Draco's pale skin flushed.
"Well then we should be going." He said. She smiled evily and untied her house coat.
Draco's jaw dropped. His eyes roamed over body, she was, BEAUTIFUL!! He smiled. Taking her
in his arms he looked down at her. Her eyes were wide, surprise, and a hint of fean shone in
them.
"You aren't going to get away the whole night. You my dear are going to be my arm
candy. And you look sweet enough to eat." His voice dropped to a new low and Hermione
shivered in his sinewy arms.
"Is that a garruntee?" She played with the hair at the nape of his neck.
"Oh you bet, now shall we?" He hoisted her up as he escourted her out the door.
"We shall." She said back in a husky voice.
As they walked down the hall, Draco's eyes wandered to Hermione's bust. They were
pushed up to view so they were the main attraction. Well she got that right. He couldn't stop
watching the way they bounced with her every step. Draco wanted to get a closer and more
"physical" look at them. But now was not the time. He had the rest of the school year to work
on that.

They entered the Great Hall which had now transformed into a giant, darkened, ball
room. Very few people were there but many of the people that were there were teachers.
"Ah, so the perfect couple decided to come and make an appearance, did they?" Sirius
chuckled.
"Uh, were here if that's what you're getting at." Hermione blushed.
"Well, yeh' better get out there. Everyone'll be here soon and you two got first dance.
Don't miss it." He winked at the two and Hermione blushed harder. "Nice dress Hermie."
Draco put a reassuring hand over Hermione's that rested on his arm.
"Come, on. The dance floor awaits!" He said sweeping her off her feet toward the
middle of the floor. She laughed as she practically floated toward him.

The room filled quickly. Among the couplings were, Ron and Pavarti, and Harry and
Ginny. Ginny and Harry seemed entirely engrossed within eachother, while Ron stared openly
at Hermione. Hermione didn't see because she was laughing it up with Draco. His arms wrapped
around her waist and they were chest to chest.
Sirius stood with Severus observing the couples.
"How's Diana?" Sirius asked.
"My wife is fine. She is going to come for the dance. Funny how everyone'll act when I
sweep her into my rms." Severus smirked.
"I've met her, she's a doll."
"Please don't insult me by calling my wife some muggle toy." Severus growled.
"Oh lighten up you old bag."
"I'M not OLD!" Severus snapped.
"Fine, fine, whatever." He waved a hand cutting the conversation.
"Oh look here she comes." Severus said as a young woman ran up to him.
"Severus!" She said delighted. "Oh how I've missed you!" She wrapped her arms around
his neck and kissed him.
"Whoa ho ho! Getta room you two. But before you go, Di? Do I get any love? You are
my sister after all." Sirius smiled.
"Dear brother, how long it's been." She hugged him and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Come darling, I have much to tell you." He looked at Sirius. "Take over, I doubt any of the kids will really miss me." He chuckled. Wrapping an arm around Diana and led her off to his room.
"Love birds, always running off somewhere." Sirius chuckled. The lights dimmed and
then illuminated on the stage.
"Well, I see all of whom want ot be here are, so now. Our first dance." Dumbledore
smiled and waved his arm to Draco and Hermione who stood in the middle of the floor.
A light out of nowhere shone on them and the music began.
"Now let's not dissapoint Hermi." Draco smirked as he led her through the steps of a
waltz.
"Oh goodness, I just remembered, I can't dance!" She whispered to him.
"Then just hold on to me and close your eyes. I'll lead the way." He whispered in her
ear. Hermione smiled, and layed her head on his shoulder. Draco held her closer to him as he
began to spin in lazy circles. A dance with his girl and he couldn't believe his luck.
Hermione drifted off into a world where Harry and Ron weren't teasing her about
Draco. She was always in his arms and he loved her as much as she did him. She wanted bliss
after all the chaos she had to go through. Why shouldn't she get to have a life like that? She
practically saved the world. All she wanted was an easy hitch in her life.
The song was slow and light and it seemed perfect for the event. Sirius chuckled in a
corner thinking, 'I knew it', Snape was off somewhere with his wife, reliving his teenage years in a
dark corner. Draco and Hermione danced in a circle created by the students keeping them in
almost a pen.
As the song dwindled down, Hermione and Draco still didn't notice until the next song
had come on and some 4th year had asked to dance with Draco. Hermione gave a glare hidden
in a smile, while Draco politely reclined.
"Scaring off your competition?" Draco quipped. Hermione blushed to her toes.
"Huh? Wh..what are you talking about?" She stuttered.
"Well don't you want this?" He asked. Before she could reply, Draco had began to kiss
her. Shocked she didn't begin to kiss back until it had sunk in. In front of the whole school, there
stood the now couple, kissing like love struck fools. Which they totally were.
The kiss ended when a couple of 5th and 6th years began to do wolf howls and
whistling. Ginny stood with Harry smirking and giggling at the same time.
Harry gave Hermione a glare mixed in with a smirk. he began to do a hollow clap which led into others and more and more until the whole shool joined in. Draco and Hermione stood there blushing like mad. Draco bowed while Hermione gave a curtsie.
"Thank You, Thank You." She giggled. The teachers didn't see but they were there. Ron and his date, Pavarti were looking on. Pavarti giggling and Ron rolling his eyes.
"What are you looking at? Go on dance!" Draco yelled. It seemed to jolt everyone into remembering where they were. The music changed and everyone moved on as if it hadn't happened.
"So, what now?" Hermione looked up to Draco.
"I dunno, wanna ditch this place?" he said with a smirk.
"Definately. " Draco took Hermione by the hand and they walked out toward the doors.
"Off to snog?" Ron quipped as they passed him by the drink table.
"If it's anything to you." Hermione snapped. Throwing her head back she walked out with Draco snickering under his breath.
As they left they heard Snape in a corner with his wife.
"I don't want to know." Draco moaned as he took a heard left away from the smacking of lips in the other direction.
As soon as they were a good distance away they began to talk.
"So, what brought that on?" Hermione asked as she let her fingers trail up his arm.
"Oh, that you had it coming any way. I could see by your glare at that poor 4th year that you wanted me all to yourself." He said huskily into her ear.
"Oh really. Draco Malfoy saying something intelligent? My, My what a day in human evolution it is." She laughed.
"Well how intelligent is this?" before Hermione could ask, she was caught with a wonderful kiss from Draco. Her eyes widened before closing.
Night had claimed the atmosphere and a full moon shone on the english landscape. The gardens surrounding the castle sparkled with new forming dew. The only people in the place were Draco and Hermione.
In the shadows lurked a dark cloak within the bushes at Hogwarts.
"They killed my master, but I shall avenge him. I may have been weak in the past, but I shall defeat the son of Lucius and Lucius' murderer. The dirty mudblood." His sliver hand gleamed against the moonlight.
Hermione and Draco were certianly creating a romantic scene. They had stopped kissing, but were simply gazing at eachother.
"Expilify!" The silver handed man hissed. Pointing his wand at Hermione an array of grey sparks hit her in the back.
"Draco!" Hermione's last word on her lips before she fell into an unconcius state in his arms.
"Hermione! Hermione? Oh no. HERMIONE!!!!" He yelled. Looking up he saw a cloaked figure running off into the forest. The glimmer of the silver hand caught his eye.
"Wormtail." Cradling Hermione in his arms he dashed for the castle.
