Jewel walked out into the gardens slowly and carefully. She wanted to see what everyone was up to, especially Draco and Hermione. Jewel thought to herself ~ They are so unbelievably cute together. I wish people could see that. I wish people would understand that it doesn't matter if your pureblood or muggle born. It just doesn't matter. ~

Jewel felt her head and heart feel lighter then normal, and she smiled as she took a deep long breath of the night air. She smiled happily, and ran her fingers through her silvery blond hair that fell down her back. Jewel couldn't help but feel content, but she didn't know why. ~The stars are so beautiful tonight. ~ Jewel thought.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hermione snuggled close to Draco, and felt herself smile. Even though there was danger in their mist, Hermione was content and happy. She was glad just to be there with him, Draco Malfoy, the evil Slytherin. Hermione felt Draco run his hands through her curly hair.

Hermione looked up and mumbled, "Shouldn't we be talking about what to do next?"

Draco silvery eyes pierced into Hermione's brown ones. She felt herself shudder slightly. Draco spoke in a firm voice, "You know Hermione? I never thought I could act this way to someone. I have always been known as a cold and heartless bastard. I couldn't help it. I was abused by Lucius since I was young. I suppose I was always jealous of you, Harry, and Ron when I came to Hogwarts, because you three had each other and I had no one. However, when I saw you chasing after my sister the first night here, I was shocked. I couldn't believe you could show emotions toward a Malfoy. I guess I knew how wrong I was about you, Hermione."

Hermione felt her heart flutter as she stared at Draco. This time a year ago she would have never known he could say those words. Hermione smiled sweetly, "It doesn't matter about being a member of the 'Dream Team' anymore Draco. All that matters is that you're with me. Okay? We won't let anyone come between us. Anyone."

Hermione went closer to Draco's face, and purred, "I love you."

Draco and Hermione's lips met, and they kissed like they have before, but this time it was much more passionate. Hermione opened her lips slightly and let Draco put his tongue in her mouth, and she did the same to him. They let their tongues battle each other out for a few moments.

Suddenly Hermione pulled Draco down on top of her. Draco was shocked, but he didn't object. Hermione broke away from the kiss, and began to smother Draco in kisses up his neck. Draco moaned with delight and pleasure, "Oh, don't stop Mione please don't stop."

Hermione smirked devilishly, "I won't."

Then she pulled him into another passionate kiss. Tongue and all. Hermione ran her fingers through Draco white blonde hair, and began to lick his face near his ear. Draco felt himself breath faster, and he muttered, "Getting a little feisty there aren't you, Granger?"

Hermione nodded, and said seductively, "I wanna see what you can do."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Pansy and Ron kept talking away in the garden contently. They didn't noticed that Draco and Hermione were spying on them before, and they certainly didn't **ahem** hear them now. They were way too absorbed in each others conversations.

Pansy was currently laughing at the story Ron told her about when Fred and George changed his teddy bear into a spider. Ron glared at her indigently, "It wasn't funny! It wasn't funny at all!"

Pansy threw back her blonde hair and snickered, "It certainly sounds funny to me."

"Ah! Shut up!"

Pansy reached forward, and squeezed Ron's hand tightly, "How about you make me?"

Ron went red, and he bent forward closer to Pansy until their lips were close. He whispered softly, "Maybe I will make you shut up."

Pansy sighed, but pulled away and tapped Ron on the shoulder, and whispered, "It's Jewel!"

Sure enough Jewel was walking in their direction. She was grinning, and she seemed to be enjoying herself very much. Her silver eyes were lit up, and they matched the silver in her angel costume. Pansy waved, "Hiya Jewel!"

Jewel nodded, "Hey Pansy. Hi Ron."

Ron didn't seem to ecstatic that Jewel was there. He was a guy after all, and guys don't like to be interrupted from their perverted thoughts (A/N: SORRY BOYS!)

Jewel noticed that Ron was not too thrilled with her arrival, but decided to be polite, "How are you Ron? Are you enjoying the ball?"

"I suppose." Ron responded rather stiffly.

Jewel nodded, and all three of them were silent for a minute. Pansy was about to talk, but they all heard a moan in the bushes behind them. The three jumped. "What was that?? It sounds like someone is getting a little horny." Pansy mouthed silently to Ron and Jewel.

Jewel's eyes lit up, and she whispered softly, "Someone is making out!!!!!"

Ron's turned his face up in disgust, "In a public place? Why don't they get a room? They can continue there!"

Jewel began to smirk and she whispered excitedly, "I'm going to go check it out! I love this kind of stuff, especially LIVE!"

Pansy rolled her eyes, "Perv. You remind me of a guy, Jewel."

Ron, however was doubled over with silent laughter. Jewel whispered to him, "Should I do it?"

Ron nodded, and nodded several times. Jewel grinned mischievously and headed toward the bushes. She slowly crept toward the bushes, and silent peered through them. Jewel had to cover her mouth to keep her from yelling out.

There was her brother lying on top of her best friend, full blow making out. Hermione was currently unbuttoning Draco's shirt and smothering him with kisses on his face.

Jewel backed away and ran over to Pansy and hid behind her. Jewel covered her eyes, and whimpered. Nobody wants to see their family members getting it on with someone else.

Ron was still laughing, "What did you see? Huh? How far along were they?"

Pansy began to giggled too. She bent over and whispered to the shocked Jewel, "Who was it? I bet it was Blaise. She'd make out with anything that has a- you know."

Jewel ignored the comment, and looked from Ron to Pansy, and she said shortly, "It was Draco and Hermione."

Pansy's eyes popped, and went so wide you could see al of the whites, and Ron gasped, "WHAT?"

Pansy slapped Ron on the arm, "Hey! They'll hear you! We should not break up a lover's moment."

Ron rolled his eyes, and sneered, "Well, they should have heard us by now!"

Jewel giggled, "I guess they are to caught up in the moment. Yummy!"

"Well isn't this adorable!" a voice sneered behind them.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ginny rested her head against Harry's shoulder. She sighed deeply, and wasn't sure what to think. Hermione Granger, the world's most perfect Gryffindor, sung a duet with that Slytherin girl Parkinson. Also Ginny saw her brother, Ron dance with that girl Parkinson a few moments later. What was going on?

Harry sighed, and looked at everyone dancing. Ginny stared at him intently, "What's on your mind, Harry?"

Harry began to rub at his scar, and he sighed, "My scar. It really hurts!"

"Uh-oh."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Pansy, Ron, and Jewel spun around. It was Blaise. She looked incredibly menacing, and her green eyes were alit. They looked like two glittering emeralds. Blaise glared daggers at the three, "So, you've to decided to betray us, Pansy. Jewel. You will be deathly sorry."

Jewel glared, and was silent. Pansy's cheeks flushed a dark red. Ron's face grew so red, it matched his hair. Blaise sighed, and rolled her eyes. She growled, "Well, it looks like Jewel was the only little bastard that kept her color."

"I have a father. Thank you very much Blaise." Jewel retorted angrily.

Blaise snickered, "Yes, one who hates you very much, and wants you dead. Well, don't we all want that."

"Sod off, Zabini!" Ron shouted.

"AW! Did I get the Weasel upset!"

"Blaise shut the fuck up!" Pansy screeched.

"Make me."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Oh, Draco. You sure know how to turn a girl on." Hermione purred sweetly.

She looked up adoringly at Draco, who was unbuttoning her gypsy dress. Draco winked, "Uh huh. Yeah, I know. I can't wait to see what equipment you have under here."

Suddenly Pansy pushed Blaise savagely through the bushes. Blaise staggered backward and landed on top of Hermione and Draco. Hermione screamed loudly, and Draco pushed Blaise off of him, and he shouted, "Well the-"

. Pansy was standing a few feet away with Ron and Jewel behind her. Pansy's face was contorted in fury, "I like to see you try to fight me again you little bitch!"

Blaise slowly got up, and looked at Draco and Hermione. She glared harshly, "I am sorry I ruined your hot sex in the gardens! Thank Pansy."

Blaise turned around and stormed away. She looked ready to kill she was so furious.

Hermione could feel herself blushing violently as she began to button up her dress. Draco was equally embarrassed, and he stuttered, "I was giving her CPR."

Jewel felt herself laughing, "Well, it didn't seem like it earlier."

"You saw us!!" they both gasped loudly.

Pansy rolled her eyes, and muttered, "Ron, wanted her to spy on you. Sorry about the push. I didn't know the filthy beeyach was going to land on you."

The group laughed. Hermione shook her finger at Ron, "Hey! You shouldn't be watching me like that Ron. Okay?"

"Yeah whatever. I'm not going to saw anything about you and Malfoy because then I would be a damn hypocrite."

Ron took Pansy's arm and led her away toward the entrance of the Great Hall. "Bye Mione!" Pansy shouted over Ron's shoulder, "You can keep carrying on with what you were doing."

Ron yelled back, "Yes, Mione. I didn't know you had it in you to kiss like that. Why didn't you ever do that when we were going out?"

Hermione blushed deeply, and muttered, "Maybe we should just go back inside. I mean, I don't want to be caught again."

Draco nodded, and shrugged, "Lets just go back I guess. The Ball is nearly over."

After readjusting their costumes, Draco took Hermione's hand and they two walked back in together. Hermione felt so embarrassed. Why did Blaise have to show up when she was in the middle of a huge make out session? It was so mortifying.

Hermione looked up and noticed everyone was saying good bye to each other. The Masquerade Ball was over. Hermione sighed, and turned to Draco, "Good night. I will see you tomorrow."

Draco leaned down and kissed Hermione on the crown of her head. Hermione smiled, and Draco winked, "Well, at least you had a good time at the ball, didn't you?"

Hermione giggled, "Of course I did! I will see you later I guess."

Draco bowed, and began to head to the other side of the room. Hermione saw him approach Millicent, Crabbe, and Goyle. ~I should probably finish up with my good byes too. ~

Hermione turned around and saw Jewel waiting for her with a smile. Hermione sighed, and said, "Take that smile off of your face. I don't want you telling about me making out with Draco. Okay?"

Jewel sighed, and gave Hermione a huge hug. Hermione smiled, and patted Jewel on the head, and said, "How did you enjoy your first ball?"

Jewel stopped smiling and she looked up at Hermione. Jewel's eyes appeared glassy. She murmured softly, "I loved it. It was wonderful, except we had to put up with Blaise, but there's not too much we could do about that."

Hermione nodded, and Jewel suddenly leaned forward and kissed Hermione the cheek. Hermione was shocked, and Jewel muttered, "You're my best friend in the whole world even if I only knew you for month. I wanted you to know that, Mione."

Hermione was speechless, and Jewel sighed, "I'm going for walk."

Hermione sputtered, "But it's late?"

"Good bye, Hermione Granger."

Jewel turned around and walked out the door of the Great Hall. Hermione was stunned, but was immediately called over by Pansy. ~ Might as well finish up my good byes, I guess. ~ Hermione thought to herself silently.

Ok! The end of the Ball! I hoped you all enjoyed it as much as I did writng it! School starts for me soon so I might not have as much time to update **damn school** Anyway! See you all soon!

The next chapter should be up soon hopefully.
