If anyone has questions or something just e-mail me at hermoine_angel@hotmail.com. When I was making the e-mail address I 'accidently' spelled hermione wrong, I spelled it hermoine instead! That's how dumb I am! Oh well! Enjoy!!!!
Chapter Three - The Christmas Ball (what a disaster!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Previously on Harry Potter:
'Draco?' Hermione said.
'Hn?' Draco asked blushing.
'I hate you,' Hermione said, and kissed him on the lips.

Hermione pulled away from the kiss and looked at the bushes. Surely enough there was three pairs of red heads and one brown head sticking out of the bushes.
'Harry? Ron? Fred, George?' Hermione said.
'Uh oh! Busted!' Harry, Ron, Fred and George said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Harry, Ron! What are you two doing here?!' Hermione screamed.
'We could ask you the same thing!' Harry shot back. Hermione looked at him and put her hands on her waist.
'What's that, Weasley?' Draco sneered, looking at the cameras Ron, Fred and George had around their necks.
'Um.....nothing,' Ron said. Suddenly all the colour on Hermione's face disappeared and she looked at Draco, horrified.
'What?' Draco asked.
'They took pictures of us kissing!' she retorted. Draco flushed pink and took out his wand.
'Give - me - the - camera - Weasel!' he sneered.
'Run for your lives!' Fred yelled and started running towards the castle.
'AHHHHHH!' Ron and Harry screamed darting after Fred and George.
'COME BACK HERE!' Draco and Hermione screamed, running after them with their wands.
'Come on, we'll be safe, once we get back to the castle!' Fred yelled.
'Stupefy!' Draco and Hermione yelled together.
'Duck!' George yelled. They all dived down and the spell missed them.
'RUN!' Fred yelled, 'RUN, IF YOU WANT TO LIVE!'
They started running again. (with Draco and Hermione after them)
'COME BACK AND GIVE US THOSE CAMERAS!' Draco yelled.
*
(In Hogwarts)
'In here!' Fred and George hissed and pulled Harry and Ron inside of some sort of room.
'Wha -Ack!' Harry yelled as Fred pulled him into the room by the neck.(no! perverts, all of you!)
'Where'd they go?!' Hermione asked out of breath.
'I dunno, they're around here somewhere,' Draco said.
'There are thousands of rooms in this hall,' Hermione said.
'We'll just have to look in all of them!' Draco said. Together they started opening all the doors.(it's a hallway, people! there are doors to the left and right!)
Draco began to look in the door to the left and Hermione to the right.
'We're doomed!' Ron breathed.
'Shut up!' Fred hissed as Draco came closer to their hiding spot.
Just when Draco was about to reach for the doornob.....
'Granger! Malfoy!' Filch's voice rang through out the hall. Harry and Ron whiped their foreheads with their sleeves, as Draco turned away.
'What are you two doing here?!' Filch snapped.
'Oh! Uh, hi Mr Filch, hehehe,' Hermione said blushing a bit.
'We were just on a date that's all,' Draco drawled. Filch looked at them suspisiously.
'You arranged your date to be in the Entrance Hall?' Filch said.
'Yeah, you know, makin out in the hallway,' Draco drawled. Hermione glared at him and he smirked.
'I thought you two hate eachother?' Filch asked, determined to find out what they were up to.
'It was Granger who wanted to make out in the first place, not me,' Draco said smirking at Hermione, who was all red.
'Fine. I'll let you go this time, but it's getting late, so head back to your houses!' Filch sneered, Mrs Norris purring beside him.
'Alright,' Hermione said. Filch left, and boy were they thankful.
'Making out, eh?' Hermione said putting her hands to her hips.
'Hey, couldn't think of anything else, and besides, you kissed me earlier,' Darco said.
'Shut up! Come on we have to find them!' Hermione said.
'We'll do it tomorrow, they can't hide in Potions,' Draco sneered and headed towards the Dungeons.
'Wait!'
Draco turned around, 'What?' he asked.
'Thanks,' Hermione said, shyly. Draco raised an eyebrow and smirked.
'You're welcome,' he said, and headed towards the Dungeons once again.
*
Harry's POV
'Is the close clear?'
'I think so, here let me take a look.'
'Ouch! Ron! That was my foot!'
'Ouch! What the - Ron! - Now you're on my foot!'
'Let'me out! I'm suffocating in here! Let'me out! Let'me out! Let'me out!'
Finally we got the door open, all of us were breathing hard.
'That was close,' George breathed.
'Yeah - Did you see the look on their faces? They were ready to kill!' Fred said.
'Wow! I have never had so much fun in my whole life! .... Can we do that again?' Ron asked, eagerly.
Wow, Ron is right. That was fun, but it just felt wrong spying on Hermione like that, she was really mad. And I mean really mad.
'Come on, before Filch comes by with Mrs Norris again,' I said.
When we reached Gryffindor tower, we had to tip-toe all the way to the Boy's Dormitories. You never know where Hermione might pounce at you, at any moment.
Whoa, this has been quite a day. Although, how are we suppose to get away from Hermione and Malfoy in Potions tomorrow?
*
Hermione POV
Hahahaha! Draco's right! There is no other way of skipping Potions, unless you want to spend a month of detention with Snape! Hahahaha! There is no way out! Harry, Ron, Fred and George will be begging, for mercy! HAHAHAHAHAAA!
'Granger! What's wrong with you?! Are you just going to stare out into space?!' a voice yelled in my ear.
'Ow! Don't shout!' I said. I looked over and saw Draco standing there, smirking at me.
'Oh, it's you. I thought we were on the first name basis?' I asked.
'Granger, keep it down,' Draco whispered, 'people are watching.'
What?! Harry and Ron are going to humuliate us and Draco's thinking of what other people would think if they saw us talking to eachother in a friendly matter?! Like I said earlier, he will never change!
'Shut up! I haven't seen, Harry, Ron, Fred or George this morning at all! They didn't come to breakfast,' I said.
'They didn't, eh? Well Potions is going to start soon. We'll get them after class. I had a feeling something like this would happen,' Draco said.
What?
'What?! You knew?! You knew, and you didn't tell me?!' I barked.
'Take it easy, Gran - Hermione, I didn't know for sure. And besides it was Weasley that told me that you wanted to walk around after dinner, and Potter slowed down his broom on the Quidditch match. Plus, when Potter and Weasley came to Hogsmeade, the had cameras!' Draco said, 'It's not my fault!'
'You were the one that made this stupid bet in the first place!' I retorted.
'So! I don't care! They're all in your house! Not mine! You go after them, woman!' Draco yelled. I shrunk back.
'Sorry!,' I said sarcasticly. Draco's eyes softened and he gave a sigh.
'Why are we fighting for anyway? We have to think of a plan to kill them all!' Draco said.
'Don't kill them!' I said, 'Torture them first! And then kill them!'
Draco chuckled and grabbed my hand. I blushed a bit.
'Come on! We'll be late for Potions. Snape won't be happy, but since I'm his favorite student, I won't get in trouble. And if I tell him I kept you buisy, he won't give you detention. Trust me,' Draco said. Gripping my hand tighter, we ran to the Dungeons.
When we finally got down to the Dungeons, I was expecting Snape to yell at us or something, but Draco just said that he insulted me and we got into a fight. Snape didn't mind at all, considering it was Draco and I. If it was only me, I would have gotten a week of detention.
I sat beside Harry and Ron, and Draco with Crabbe Goyle and Den. I glared evily at Harry and Ron and they moved away a bit. There is no escape, this - is - WAR!
*
Ron's POV
This is it, we're doomed. Why did I even think of this stupid plan anyway?!
'Because you're a mindless crazy git!' my brain said, rudely.
Be quiet! I don't have time for you now! I have to dash out when class' over and head back to the Boy's Dormitories, before Hermione and Malfoy hunt us down and begins their little torture sessions!
'Weasley!'
'Wha? - Wha? - Huh?' I stamered. Uh oh.
'I asked you a question!' Snape snapped. 'How many ways can you use Dragon Blood?!'
'Huh? - Oh! Um, I.....thirteen?' I said, unsure. Okay, so maybe Hermione's lessons pay off a little, but I'm still not sure if that's the right answer. I mean, come on! I can't remember everything in life! No one can! Well maybe Hermione, but that's different! She's like some sort of smart alien thingy that came from Mars!
Snape looked at me and sneered.
'Good enough. Only a fool would expect better,' he said and walked away from me. Whew!
I looked at Harry. I can tell he was having trouble putting the ingrediants in the cauldren, but nither of us would dare ask Hermione. Look at her eyes. It's like they're glowing or something! If she was a pureblood, she'd probably be mistaken for You Know Who's daughter, or something.
'And, you're to do five pages of how vampires live and their history,' Snape said, 'you are dismissed.' Uh oh.
'You should have listened, you prat,' my brain said. Shut up! Ugh! I hate it when you do that!
'What?' See! You're doing it again!
'Am not!' Yeah! You are! Argh! Nevermind, I'll talk to you later!
'Whatever. You have the body. I'm just the brain.'
I packed my things quickly and gave Harry a terrifying look, which he generously returned. I didn't have time to think, I dashed out of the class room with Harry behind me.
'Where do you think you're going Weasley?' a drawling voice said. I looked up. Malfoy. He was blocking my way to the Gryffindor Tower, arms crossed and smirking evily. I turned around and found that Harry had froze as well. Hermione was blocking the way to the Entrance Hall. There's not way out! We're trapped! Help! SOS!
*
'Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in,' Draco sneered.
'Come on guys, no hard feelings, okay?' Harry forced a laugh. Draco glared at him.
'Where's the camera? What have you done with it?!' he questioned, menisingly. Ron tried to look shocked.
'Camera? Vhat camera? Vhat iz zis, camera?' he asked in a different accent.
'Shut up! We know you have it!' Hermione snapped. Harry and Ron jumped and looked at Draco as he began to speak.
'We have a couple of questions,' Draco drawled.
They,(Draco and Hermione) both looked at eachother and said, 'What?! When?! Where?! And why?!'
'I don't know what you're talking about, honest!' Harry exclaimed.
'Yeah, what he said, hehehe,' Ron said trying to get past Draco.
'You're not going anywhere, Weasley,' drawled Draco pushing him back.
'We know you have it. Just hand it over, and we'll try not to hex you with the painfull curses,' Hermione said. Draco looked at her.
'I thought we were going to use the the Cruciatus Curse. And of course my favourite, the Killing Curse!' Draco said. *dun, dun, dun, DUN!* Harry looked horrified and Ron looked like he was about to wet his pants. Hermione gave Draco one of her, shut up or I'll kill you, looks and he shut his mouth.
'Nevermind,' Draco said quickly. He turned to Harry, slammed him against the wall and put his rather pale hand on Harry's throat strangling him.
'Alright, Potter. If you don't tell us where it is, I'll make sure that the rest of your life will be a living hell,' Draco threatened.
'Ack! Don't do it, Harry!' Ron coughed, who was being pulled into a head lock by Hermione.
'Fr-Fred, Fred and George. They have the camera,' Harry choaked out, 'why do you want it anyway?' Hermione released Ron, who was now rubbing his throat, gasping for air.
'Alright, you can let Harry go now, Draco,' Hermione said. Draco continued strangling Harry.
'Draco!' Hermione said.
'Ahhhh! Aaaaack!' Harry choaked out.
'What?! Can't you see I'm buisy?! My dream come true! Killing Pot-head! Hahahaaa!' Draco laughed as he tightened his grip on Harry's neck. Harry was almost as pale as Draco, you might even consider him dead. (Voldemort would say, 'Huzzaa!!! I've done it!....well, not exactly! But who cares?!')
'Draco!' Hermione said pulling Draco back, who was thrashing about trying to beat the crap out of Harry.
'Twinkle, twinkle, little star,' Harry said and fell down with a thump.
'Harry! Are you okay?!' Ron asked.
'Oh, Ron! I was in a wonderful place! It was in this really hot, filled with lava and all that kind'a sh*t. There were these little Death Eaters with horns and tails dressed in red who were jabbing pitch forks in my butt,' Harry said groggly.
'Look what you've done to him! Do those cameras mean everything to you, that you'd risk killing someone to try and get it?!' Ron said outraged.
'Yes!'
'We're gonna make sure you don't take any pictures of us at the Christmas Ball next Sunday,' Draco said suspiciously.
'You two are going together?' Ron asked. Draco nodded slowly looking at them suspisiously.
Suddenly Harry and Ron grinned at them evily and ran past Draco and Hermione to the Gryffindor Tower.
'What the - Hey! - Sh*t!' Draco yelled after them. Hermione held out her hand to stop him.
'Let them go. I have a plan. Have you ever heard of anything called the Polyjuice Potion?' Hermione asked grinning.
'Yeah, we'll use the Polyjuice Potion!' Draco said, ' ... I thought Wonder Boy was dead?'
*
'Fred! Fred!' Ron yelled.
'George! George!' Harry yelled. The Fat Lady, who had been sleeping looked at them with loathing.
'Can't a portrait get some sleep without getting disturbed?!' she said.
'What? - Oh, sorry. Twinkling Stars,' Harry said and the portrait swung open.
'Where's Fred and George?!' Ron asked Ginny.
'I dunno. Maybe they got detention or something,' Ginny yawned.
'Come on we've gotta find them, quick!' Harry and Ron said running out of the Gryffindor Common Room.
'Someone's hadn't got a good nights sleep. Harry looks so pale,' Ginny said.

(Malfoy Manor)
'I CAN'T BELIEVE HIM! THAT LITTLE - '
'Lucius, please,' Narcissa said at her raging husband. Lucius sighed and slumped down on the couch beside her.
'Can you believe this?! Draco actually went out with that mudblood wrench!' Lucius said.
'Are you sure this Pansy Parkinson's telling the truth?' Narcissa asked. Lucius glared at her.
'Of course she is! - This is it! He is coming home for Christmas. I'll give him a good beating of a lfe time!' Lucius said.
'No, Lucius, no. Please don't. They have that Christmas Ball at Hogwarts this year and I'm sure Draco wants to go,' Narcissa said. Lucius gave her another glare and flopped down on the couch.
'Fine!' Lucius pouted and put an arm around his wife.
'Bad mood, eh?' Narcissa giggled. Lucius smirked at her.
'Uh huh. I'm tired. I'll go to bed now,' he said and yawned.
'Already. It's only four o'clock,' Narcissa said.
'I know,' Lucius said, 'That fool Arthur Weasel was being an idiot again prancing around, like he owned the place!'
'Isn't that what you do?' Narcissa asked. Lucius gave her a death glare.
'Nevermind,' she replied quickly.
'Alright then,' he said and walked up the marble stairs.
Narcissa sighed and took out a piece of parchment.
Dear Draco,
How are you, dear? Your father and I miss you very much, but I would like to ask you not to date that muggle-born anymore. Today I had to stop your father from racing there and taking you back home. He was absolutly furious that your friend Pansy Parkinson, wrote to us at 3:00am. Your father was really angry that we were disturbed. Please write back. I wish you were here for Christmas.
Love you,
Narcissa
Narcissa, folded the letter and gave it to her personal owl. She watched it fly away and went back to the (very large) living room.
'Mistress, Master wants a word with you,' the house-elf squeaked.
'Yes, thank you Pinky,' Narcissa replied and walked up the marble stair case.
*
(Hogwarts)
Draco's POV
Damn. What's everyone gonna say when I take that mud - er ... muggle-born to the ball? They'll think I'm nuts. Ugh. I hate my life.
'Oh, Draco,' a high pitched voice rang in my ear. No. Please don't let it be her!
'Ugh! Pansy, I thought you'd be with one of little girly friends. What're you doing here?! What do you want now?!' I drawled at her angrily.
'Nothing!' she purred and I rolled my eyes, 'What are you doing, Drakie babe?'
'I swore in class and Professor Sinistra heard. So she sent me back to the common room to think about what I did, but I forgot, so I'm just staring off into space,' I drawled bitterly.
'Oh,' Pansy said, 'you know ... the Christams Ball is coming up in a couple of days. Are you going with anyone?'
'Well I'm still thinking of asking this really pretty girl ...' I drawled out.
'Oh Draco! I would love to go with you! I always new you liked me!!!' Pansy shrieked with stars in her eyes.
I gave her the, 'clueless look' *AN: Thank you to Chloe for coming up with the idea* and drawled out, 'What are you talking about, you whore? Why the hell would I go with you?! Remember last time I took you, you kept saying to everyone that I was your boyfriend.'
'Yeah, well - it really wasn't my fault. And besides, I overheard Den talking to Chaze, that he was taking Granger, so if you had fun on your date a week ago, too bad, you can't take the Mudblood. That's why I sent a note to your mother and father,' Pansy said sweetly. I gritted my teeth.
Why the hell does she always have to nose in other people's buisness?! She's so annoying! And what does she mean she sent a letter to my parents? I thought I already talked - well, not really talked, more like screamed or yelled, but I thought she learned her lesson last time?! Can't she just move to another school, like Beaxbatons or Durmstrang?! Now, I'm going to yell at her face.
'You - sent - a - letter - to - my - FATHER?! ARE YOU CRAZY?! HE'LL SKIN ME ALIVE!!!' I yelled at her face.
'I just thought they'd like to know that their son went out with a mudblood,' Pansy said innocently, wrapping her long silky hair on her finger.
Think of happy thoughts, think of happy thoughts, think of happy thoughts.
'Out,' I said simply. Pansy gave me a quelling look.
'Get out. Get out! OUT!' I yelled. I heard a door slam and everything went all quiet. Told you I was going yell at her.
Damn her! Just ... damn her! Argh! She makes my life a living hell! Father is going to KILL me! ... And what did she mean that Grudge was going to take Hermione? It's probably all talk, I wouldn't worry about it.
Humm ... what should I where for the ball? Um ... I know! I'll wear black!
'Smart thinkin, Draco. Sure, wear black for the Christmas Ball! Granger'll probably be wearing girl colour dress robes, like pink or baby blue or something. Sure! And look at her partner, Draco Malfoy, who's wearing all black and....'
Shut up @$$! - Great, now I have to spend my free period with my brain. - Fine, I'll look....
I opened up my closet and looked at the set of black dress robes my father bought me. Um, which one shall I choose?
'What the hell?! They're all black! When was the last time you went shopping for clothes with mommy?'
Shut up! And don't talk about my mother that way!
'Besides, black is definatly my colour,' I said.
'I'm warning you, people who wear black usually end up becoming dark wizards, like Voldie.'
Cool! Okay, I'll wear black! I get to be a dark lord!
'Oh great, I get to spend my free time with my body. Just great.'
*
Hermione's POV
'ARGH! I don't have anything to wear!' I cried out. Great, I have absolutly nothing to wear! I forgot to buy new dress robes. This is bad.
'Hey Ginny,' I started, Ginny nodded her head, which would probably mean that she was listening. 'When's our next trip to Hogsmeade?'
'Tomorrow, why?' Ginny asked sitting up.
'I don't have anything to wear for Sunday,' I said looking through my closet.
'Geesh Hermione, your room is so big and you hardly have anything in it, only a couple of chairs, a desk, a lamp, your fourposter....and you hardly have any clothes in your gigantic closet! Tomorrow, we're going down to Hogsmeade and we're goin to buy you girl stuff!' Ginny exclaimed.
' ... Girl stuff?'
'Yeah! There's this really cool shop called, Cool Club for Gurls that sells a lot of cool things ... for girls!' Ginny exclaimed.
'I've never heard of it, where is it?' I asked.
'Right next to Cool Club for Boys,' Ginny said.
'Oh. Didn't even know there was such a thing,' I said dully.
'Come on, I'll show you what I'm gonna wear!' Ginny said bouncing off the bed.
'Okay, calm down, Ginny,' I said. Ginny went out of my dormitory and in about five seconds she came back with a very beautiful pink dress.
'Wow, Ginny! It's beautiful! Where'd you get this?' I asked amazed.
'It was my mum's,' Ginny said with stars in her eyes. It was almost freaky. It's really hard to imagine Mrs. Weasley fitting in that dress.
'Who's taking you?' I asked.
'Harry! He finally asked me! Of course I said yes!' Ginny said and began jumping like a maniac.
'Whoa - take it easy,' I said.
'Sorry.'
'Oh, I'm really jealous, Ginny. Your dress is really pretty and your partner is really honest and cute. And I have to be stuck with Mr Draco Malfoy, also known as the Slytherin King, Amazing Bouncing Ferret and Ferret Boy! Ugh! It's gonna be a total nightmare!' I exclaimed flopping down on the bed.
'It won't be so bad. Malfoy's not really that bad, just yesterday he asked me what colour dress robes should he wear, and if he wore black, would Hermione like it? It was weird,' Ginny said.
'What did you say?'
'I told him, you were going to have blue dress robes on. At the time I thought you already bought your robes. And I was pretty sure it would be blue, you're not really the pink type, are you?' Ginny asked.
'No. But I was thinking of buying blue ones in Hogsmeade, tomorrow anyway,' I said.
'We are going to have soooo much fun tomorrow, Mione!' Ginny exclaimed.
*
Harry's POV
'I don't get it. What're we suppose to do?' I asked. I wasn't trying to be dumb or anything, it's just, I don't get it.
'Oh Harry! You're too slow!' Fred said.
'Okay, here's the plan. We make copies of the photographs of Hermione and Malfoy kissing, and on Sunday, we go to the ball, and when Hermione and Malfoy start dancing, we give away all the pictures to everyone, and then we spray Hermione and Malfoy with silly string and - ' George said. Fred interupped.
'That's not the plan! The plan, is that we dare Hermione and Malfoy to go out with eachother for about a week - '
'Or a month!' Ron said.
'Shut up! - We dare them to go out with eachother for a month, or longer. We'll tell them they have to do it or else we'll show everyone the pictures. Then when they go on their date and start kissing and stuff, we'll bring the students to their date and then they'll see for themselves!' Fred exclaimed.
'Brilliant!' Ron said.
'I still like my idea ... but cool, man! I'm in!' George said.
'Won't that embarrass Hermione too much? I mean, my Firebolt is really improtant - ' But Fred interuppted.
'Very, very, very improtant!' he said.
'Yeah - We can't do it! Why don't we just stick to George's idea?' I asked.
'My idea sucks. Come on, don't tell me you don't have enough guts?' George said.
'I do so, have guts! I just don't use them too often!' I said.
'Well, we could do both!' Ron said.
'.......'
'Ron,' Fred said.
'What?'
'You're an idiot,' Fred finished.
'Oh.'
'Why don't we just take pictures on Sunday, eh? Won't that be fun? It'll embarrass Hermione enough,' I said. George grinned.
'Yeah! Ron's right! We'll do both ideas!' he said.
'I thought you hate your ideas,' Fred said.
'Shut up - We could do both - We can take pictures on Sunday and spray them with Silly String then, like Fred said we'll use the recent pictures from the ball to blackmail them! We can get anything we want! We can tell Hermione to like fail an exam, or Malfoy to drop his pants at the Great Hall!' George said.
'Excellent!'
'Brilliant!'
'Marvalous!'
'Incredible!'
Argh! I can't believe I'm going through with this! Malfoy almost killed me! After Sunday, Hermione'll probably join him on the torturing,
*
(Hogsmeade, the next day)
Hermione's POV
'Well, here we are Ginny. Where's that shop?' I asked.
'Over there!' Ginny squealed running right past the Three Broomsticks.
Well, what do you know. There is a Cool Club for Boys and a Cool Club for Gurls. I can't believe I never noticed them! They're right beside the Three Broomsticks!
I sighed and ran after Ginny.
'Oy! Ginny! Wait for me!' I panted.
'Man, you're outta shape! It must be all those books. I always new books were evil!' Ginny screeched.
' ... Uh, er - yeah,' I said.
We stepped into the shop.
'Wait till we get inside, Mione! It's so exciting! It's so cool! It's so -
' ... Lame,' I said as I took a look at my surroundings. 'This is crazy Ginny. We can't buy dress robes here! At least not ones with slits on the sides and espesially not the ones that are only up to our hips! That's CRAZY!'
'It is not! Here'll, I'll show you,' Ginny said and walked over to a portrait to the left.
'Olifergate!'
The portrait slowly swung open and there seemed to be another shop called, 'Fancy Meeting You Here.' What kind'a name is that, huh?!
'See, this is where all the dress robes are. Well, the fancy ones, with no slits on the sides and ones that go up to your hips, that is,' Ginny said.
We walked in and the whole place was filled with girls, both old and young. We began looking through all the dress robes.
'Uh, Ginny?'
'Yeah?'
'Why is this place called Fancy Meeting You Here?' I asked. Suddenly a girl walked up to me.
'Fancy meeting you here, Hermione. I thought you were the book type? You should really comb your hair, you look like a blueberry bush,' the girl said and walked away.
'That answer your question?' Ginny asked.
'Not exactly.'
'Well, this is usually the shop where all the bookworms go to buy their dress robes. So, when - lets say, you went here yesterday. People would say, fancy meeting you here. It's usually followed by an insult. I wasn't surprised at all when that girl insulted you,' Ginny said.
'Oh.' Ginny rolled her eyes.
'Come on! Pick one! You do want to look good on Sunday, don't ya?'
'Yeah, but I dunno. They're all really nice,' I said.
'Here, I'll look over there and you look over there, k?' Ginny said and walked away.
This is absolutly rediculous! A bookworm shop?! That's just so mean!
I began looking through the dress one by one. None of them caught my eye. Not one! I need a blue one.
'Yo, Hermione. Over there, look over there! It's on the left!' my brain boomed in.
I don't see anything.
'Argh! Take three steps to the right!'
Whatever - whoa!
'Whoa! You're right! This is absolutly perfect! I love it! Thanks a lot!' I said.
'Mione? Who're talking to?'
'Just my brain! - Ginny look! Isn't it beautifull?!' I shrieked holding up the dress.
'Wow, Mione. It's really amazing! Where'd you get it?' Ginny asked me.
'Who cares?!'
Ginny looked at the dress. It was white, with pearls attached to the sides and front. (looked almost like a wedding dress) It was long and came with matching white gloves.
'You're going to be the bell of the ball!' Ginny squealed.
*
(Saturday, at the Great Hall aka - Slytherin Table)
'Alright, so which one do you think I should wear?' Draco asked holding up two identical black dress robes.
'I dunno, Draco. That one's black. But this one's also black. I can't make up my mind ... oh my god! They're BOTH black!' Crabbe said stupidly.
'Maybe you should ask the Mudblood, Draco. Let her pick,' Goyle said.
'No way! She's not going to see what I'm wearing. It'll be too weird if I ask her what to wear,' Draco said, and sighed.
'How bout, you don't go with her at all,' said a cold sneering voice behind them.
'Grudge. How many times do I have to tell you? It's a bet. I'm supposed to go with her,' Draco drawled.
'She doesn't even want to go with you, why go with her?' Den shot back.
Draco's lips curled into a cruel smile, 'What's the matter? Haven't got a date? Why don't you go take Pug Faced Pancy Parkinson?'
Crabbe and Goyle howled with laughter. Draco smirked, 'Eh? Why don't you take her? She's been pretty cranky ever since I told her that she was an ugly pugged faced git with a nut for a brain. I don't think she'd mind if you take her. I know I won't.'
Den started to grind his teeth together, 'Well Hermione'll have probably gone with me, instead of you!' he snarled. Draco chuckled.
'KILL HIM! KILL HIM, DRACO! BLAST'EM INTO OBLIVION! MAKE HIM SUFFER!' Draco's brain yelled.
'Grudge. My brain is telling me to blast you into oblivion ... well? Should I? You are getting quite annoying,' Draco sneered.
'Come on guys, Arithmancy next,' a boy named Chaze Turge said. (he was a chaser in the slytherin team)
'Fine,' drawed Draco glaring at Den. He and Chaze were the only Slytherins that even bother to take Arithmancy.
'So, what's up? Why's Den so angry at you all of a sudden? Usually he hangs around you, right Draco?' Chaze asked as he and Draco walked to Arithmancy.
'It's because of Granger,' Draco said scowling.
'Oh. Well, no wonder he's mad a you. You should hear what the other Slytherins are saying when you went on the date with the Mudblood - '
'SHUT UP!!!' Draco yelled. The whole hall became silent. Hermione who was on her way to Arthimancy stopped in her tracks and dropped her books. Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws stopped to watch as Draco slammed Chaze on the wall and took out his wand preparing to do the Cruciatus Curse.
'DRACO!'
Draco turned his head. Hermione was standing on his left arms crossed. She looked extremely pissed.
'What do you think you're doing?!' Hermione hissed.
Draco let go of Chaze, who started coughing like crazy and holding his sore neck.
'That is no way to treat a pupil, Draco. As Perfect, I'm gonna have to tell the Headmaster about this. And, thirty points will be taken from Slytherin,' Hermione said.
'So?! I don't care! Mudblood! I'm cancelling this f*cking bet!! I can't stand one second with you! B*tch!' Draco spat and walked off.
'Draco ...?' Hermione said in a faint whisper. Her eyes started to fill with tears and she ran off.
*
Ron's POV
'Check mate!' I said.
'What?!! NOOOO!' Harry yelled and flopped down on the couch, 'You win again! It's not fair!'
'Haha!' I laughed.
Suddenly heard the Portrait of the Fat Lady swing open and Hermione came running in, crying.
'Hermione! What happened?!' I asked.
'What's wrong, Mione?!' Harry asked. Hey, we want to humuliate her, but not make her cry.
'It was Draco! ARGH! I HATE HIM! THE B*STARD!' Hermione yelled ran to the girl's dormiroties. Five seconds later the door to the girl's dormitories opened again and Hermione came out. She looked a bit embarrassed.
'I forgot, I have my own dormitory now,' she said and began to walk out.
'What did Malfoy do to you, Mione? I'll kill him for you!' Harry said eagerly.
'Yeah!' I said. Alright! I've been waiting for this moment for five years!
Hermione sniffed and began to wipe her tears away.
'No, it's alright, you don't have to beat him up. He was probably just in a bad mood, that's all,' she said. Uh ....
'Okay ... you sure?' I asked. She nodded her head.
'Yup. Just to tell you guys, the bet's off, Draco's not taking me to the ball. Now I don't have a date,' she said.
'Uh ... sorry Hermione. I've already got a date. I promised Ginny I would,' Harry said.
'Yeah, and I've already asked Lavender,' I said.
'Oh.'
'Hey I know! Why don't you go with Den Grudge? He's always wanted to go with you anyways,' Harry said.
'Oh yeah! Thanks, Harry! Cya!' Hermione said and ran out of the common room. Okay ....
'What was that all about? You just asked Hermione to go with Den Grudge! And Hermione actually was actually happy about it?! What about our plan?!' I said to Harry.
'Oh. Yeah ... I forgot about that, hehehe,' he said. Argh! Sometimes Harry can be sooo stupid. And I mean STUPID!
'We'll have to have another meeting with Fred and George. They'll know what to do,' I said.
'What? We still have to go with the plan?' Harry asked.
*
Draco's POV
God, I'm an idiot! Now I have to appoligise to Hermione. Urgh! I hate saying, sorry. Think of un sexy thoughts Draco, think un sexy thoughts. I suddenly got the image of Snape in a night gown baking cookies. I shivered.
Well, my happy thoughts were interrupted when Grudge suddenly burst the door open, squealing like a girl.
'SHE ASKED ME! SHE ASKED ME!'
I raised an eyebrow.
'So, a girl finally asked you out, Grudge, About time, ' I said smirking.
Den glared at me and then a smirk similar to mine appeared on his face.
'Well, I wouldn't be so happy if I were you,' he said, 'Hermione just asked me to go with her to the ball tomorrow.'
'What are you talking about?' I asked coldly.
Den's was smirking so broadly that his eyes were reduced to slits.
'She said, that you cancelled the bet and that she didn't want to appear at the ball with somebody who hurts her. Tough luck,' he said.
'What?! It was her fault!' I said.
'Whatever, I gotta get new robes, maybe father'll get me some new ones. Cya, good luck at finding a date,' Den chuckled and left. Who does he think he is?!
Quick as a flash I darted over to the Gryffindor Tower. Maybe Hermione was is the Perfect's dorm. I looked up at the statue of a girl, she had a Gryffindor sign on her left arm, she looked at me suspisiously and said, 'Password?'
'Er - ' Okay, what kind of password would Hermione give this b*tch?
'Er - flowers?' The starue shook her head.
'Um - sunshine?' I tried again.
'Water lilies?'
'Something?'
'Girly Stuff?'
'Oh I don't know! - Hermione Granger is the best?' Suddenly the statue moved out of the way. She's still looking at me suspisiously. Great, it's the Gryffindor Stare. That's what me and the other Slytherins call it, the Gryffindor Stare.
I opened the door and walked inside. Damn. Why'd they haveta make the Perfect's Common Room really nice for the Gryffindors and really crapy ones for the Slytherins. I mean come on, we rule! Note to self, don't make fun of the decorators.
'Hermione? Hermione are you in here?' I called out.
'What are you doing here?' asked a cold voice. I felt the hairs on the my neck stick up and I turned around. It was, Hermione.
'You gave me a scare,' I said, sitting down on the couch.
'How'd you get in here?' she asked, coldly.
'I just kept guessing the password, oh and just to ask, why is your password, Hermione Granger is the best?' I chuckled.
She glared at me and I shut my mouth.
'Just tell me what you need to say and get out,' she snapped. I sighed.
'Alright. I - I want to say s - sor - sor -sorry!' There! I said it!
She looked at me, puzzled, 'What for?' she asked. I thought she was supposed to be smart.
'For yelling at you like that. I didn't mean it and I want to take you to the freakin ball,' I drawled. She gave me an apologetic smile.
'Sorry, I already asked Den,' she said.
'You really want to show up with that dumb headed git?' I asked, smirking.
She giggled, 'No, but I can't turn back time, now can I?' she said.
'Well, save me dance, k?' I asked and gave her a wink. WHAT THAT HELL AM I SAYING?!!!
Hermione turned pink and nodded her head.
'Okay, but how am I suppose to get away from Den? He'll probably follow me everywhere!' she said.
'Don't worry, I'll take care of him,' I said smirking.
'Who're you taking to the ball?' Hermione asked me.
'Dunno. Maybe, I'll just go by myself,' I said. Hey, it's better then going with Pansy.
'Oh.'
'Are you finished the Polyjuice Potion?' I asked.
'Almost. I just need a few more ingrediants, but they're in Snape's office,' Hermione said.
'I'll take care of him,' I said.
'Yeah, you are his favourite!' Hermione giggled.
'Yeah. Well, I better go now. Cya tomorrow,' I said.
'Okay. Bye!' Hermione said as I headed out the door. I can't believe I asked her to save me a dance! Am I crazy?!
'Yeah! I'm embarrassed to share the same body with you, Draco!' my brain said.
Shut up! Go to hell!
'Whatever.'
*
'YOU'RE WHAT?!!!' Ginny screamed.
'I said that I'm not going with Draco!' Hermione repeated.
'But I already told everyone you'll be with someone hot! And Den Grudge is definatly not hot! There are posters out there saying, 'This is Den Grudge! He is very unpopular!' Ginny exclaimed.
'Yeah, well ... what am I suppose to do about it? And besides,' Hermione began to blush, 'Draco said he to save a dance for him.'
Ginny squealed.
'He definatly likes you then!' she said.
'What're you talking about?' Hermione asked, puzzled.
'Well, first of all, he made this whole bet thing, for you to go out with him. That's always the first thing that guys do when they like you but don't know it,' Ginny said.
'Really?'
'Yeah. Now, the second thing is that he took the bet seriously and beat Harry on the match. The third thing is, that you two kissed, number four is that you added that you'd go to the Christmas Ball with him and he agreed, right?' Hermione nodded. 'Yeah. So number five, is that he asked you to save him a dance. He definatly likes you! Omigosh!' Ginny squealed. Hermione put her right hand on her head and flopped down on her bed.
'You're right. But, Draco's always hated me! Why's he changing his mind?' Hermione asked.
'Well, guys change, Mione. You can't just expect a guy to be evil for the rest of their life ... well, maybe You Know Who, but still ...' Ginny said. Hermione sighed.
'Why? Do you like him?' Ginny asked.
'No! Yes! No! But, yes, but - oh, I don't know!' Hermione said burying her head in her hands.
'It's okay. He is pretty cute, you know. Not as cute as Harry, but that's my opinion,' Ginny said.
'Yeah.'
'Well, we'd better get to sleep, it's getting pretty late. Cya in the morning Mione, sleep well,' Ginny yawned, opened the door and left.
'Ugh! I hate my life' Hermione said aloud.
*
'Shush! - Harry that's my foot!'
'Sorry! I can't see!'
'Be quiet! You'll wake everyone up!'
'Oh Ron! I don't think we should go along with this,' Harry said.
'Shut up! Fred and George said that they'll meet us here!' Ron said.
'Well, where are they?'
'Right here.'
'Finally! We've been waiting for hours!' Ron complained.
'Shut up! So, we're here to disguss, operation -'
'Ruin Malfoy and Hermione's Life!' Ron interrupted.
'Be quiet, squib!' George hissed elbowing Ron in the ribs.
'Ow! That's me!'
'Sorry, Harry. Didn't see ya there.'
'Shut up! We have to do something about Grudge ... ' Fred said, ' ... well come on, think!'
'Right!'
'We can lock him up!' Harry suggested.
'We can hex him!' George said.
'We can kill him!' Ron exclaimed.
'Right, I got it! We can lock him up!' Fred said.
'That's what I said!'
'Really? I'm pretty sure it was my idea,' Fred said.
'We have to have bait,' George said.
'I have an idea! - Hermione's picture!' Ron said.
'That's right! Grudge keeps this picture of Hermione somewhere in his bag, he adores it! We'll lead him to the Gryffindor Common Room and lock him in a closet!' Harry said, ' ... Why the hell did I say that?'
'Alright. Who'll steal the photo, then?' Fred asked.
'Ron! No one can stand him!' George exclaimed.
'Hey! Why me?!' Ron argued.
'Because ... just because! So there!' Fred said.
'Fine!'
'Alright!' everyone yelled.
'Who's there?!' came Filch's voice.
'Uh oh!'
*
(Next morning)
'There he is!' Fred pointed to Den who was admiring his picture of Hermione.
'Go, Ron, go Ron, go!' they chanted. Ron whistled as he passed Den. All of a sudden, he grabbed the picture and made a run for it.
'Hey! Come back here, Weasley!' Den yelled after him.
Ron could hear Den's footsteps behind him and dashed to the Gryffindor Tower.
Meanwhile, Fred, George and Harry were waiting around the corner for Ron and Den to pass by.
'AHHHHHHHH!' came Ron's terrified scream.
'COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE B*STARD!' Den yelled.
Seconds later, Ron came running past them.
'NOW!' Fred yelled. He George and Harry grabbed Den as he was running by and put a sack over him.
'Stop struggling!' George said.
'Here, Harry,' Fred said handing Harry a bat.
'What's this for?' Harry asked.
'Wack him over the head. Duh!' Fred said.
'Uh okay,' Harry swung the bat and hit Den on the head.
'Cool! You might have even killed him! Good work, Harry!' George exclaimed.
'AHHHHHH!'
'Ron, Grudge is already in the sack,' Fred said.
'It's not that! It's this!' Ron said holding up the picture of Hermoine.
'AHHHHHH!'
Hermione posing and was wearing a navy blue bikini, plus she was licking chocolate ice cream. (my fav!)
'What the hell is she doing?!' Harry asked, shocked.
'What the hell is she wearing?!' Fred exclaimed.
'What the hell is she licking?!' George exclaimed.
'Eww! Burn it! Burn it!' Ron yelled.
'Shut up! Come on, we haveta get him locked up. The ball starts is ... omigosh! In ten minutes! Come on you jack asses! Get moving!' Fred said.
*
(At the ball)
'Where is he?' Hermione asked Ginny.
'I don't care! - Where's Harry?!' Ginny pouted. Just then Harry appeared out of no where.
'Hi guys!' Harry said running up to them.
'You're late!' Ginny said.
'Sorry, we er - I mean, I forgot!' Harry stammered.
'Well come on! Let's dance!' Ginny said and pulled on Harry's arm.
'Oh great! Where's Den? He's suppose to be here,' Hermione said.
On her left she saw Ron and Lavender dancing and Harry and Ginny were dancing beside them. Hermione sighed and sat down on a chair.
'I'm the only one who hasn't got a date,' she thought sadly.
'Can I have this dance?'
Hermione looked up, Draco was offering his hand to her. Blushing, she put her hand in his and he led her to the dance floor. A slow song was being played.
'Where's Grudge?' Draco asked.
'I dunno,' Hermione said laying her head in his shoulder. Draco took a sniff of Hermione's hair.
'Man, she smells good,' Draco thought.
Hermione lifted her head up, 'Did you just smell my hair?' she asked.
'No!' Draco said quickly. Hermione gave him a shy smile and layed her head back on him shoulder.
'Is it working?' Ron asked as he danced with Lavender near Harry.
'Yeah,' Harry said.
'What'd you say?' Ginny asked.
'No! Er - I mean nothing,' Harry said.
'Okay.'
Ron shrugged at Harry. Suddenly the door bust open and a very crazed looking Den came thundering in.
'Uh oh,' Harry, Ron, Fred and George said at once.
Den took one look at Draco and Hermione and grabbed his wand from his pocket.
Proffesor McGonagal came running up to him.
'Mister Grudge! Put that wand down at once!' she yelled, but it was too late, Den had already done a spell.
'Expelliarmus!' he cried and pointed his wand at Draco.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What will happen next? Will Den kill Draco? Will operation, 'Ruin Malfoy and Hermione's Life,' still work? Find out on the next chapter!
Ooooh! A cliffhanger! I am sooo mean! Sorry about that.
So? How was it? Please review. I hardly have any reviews! And just to tell you people, I made the ball a Christmas one, because I started this fic at December. I'm also running out of ideas. I'd appriciate it if you guys would help. Thankx!

Chapter Three - The Christmas Ball (what a disaster!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Previously on Harry Potter:
'Draco?' Hermione said.
'Hn?' Draco asked blushing.
'I hate you,' Hermione said, and kissed him on the lips.

Hermione pulled away from the kiss and looked at the bushes. Surely enough there was three pairs of red heads and one brown head sticking out of the bushes.
'Harry? Ron? Fred, George?' Hermione said.
'Uh oh! Busted!' Harry, Ron, Fred and George said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Harry, Ron! What are you two doing here?!' Hermione screamed.
'We could ask you the same thing!' Harry shot back. Hermione looked at him and put her hands on her waist.
'What's that, Weasley?' Draco sneered, looking at the cameras Ron, Fred and George had around their necks.
'Um.....nothing,' Ron said. Suddenly all the colour on Hermione's face disappeared and she looked at Draco, horrified.
'What?' Draco asked.
'They took pictures of us kissing!' she retorted. Draco flushed pink and took out his wand.
'Give - me - the - camera - Weasel!' he sneered.
'Run for your lives!' Fred yelled and started running towards the castle.
'AHHHHHH!' Ron and Harry screamed darting after Fred and George.
'COME BACK HERE!' Draco and Hermione screamed, running after them with their wands.
'Come on, we'll be safe, once we get back to the castle!' Fred yelled.
'Stupefy!' Draco and Hermione yelled together.
'Duck!' George yelled. They all dived down and the spell missed them.
'RUN!' Fred yelled, 'RUN, IF YOU WANT TO LIVE!'
They started running again. (with Draco and Hermione after them)
'COME BACK AND GIVE US THOSE CAMERAS!' Draco yelled.
*
(In Hogwarts)
'In here!' Fred and George hissed and pulled Harry and Ron inside of some sort of room.
'Wha -Ack!' Harry yelled as Fred pulled him into the room by the neck.(no! perverts, all of you!)
'Where'd they go?!' Hermione asked out of breath.
'I dunno, they're around here somewhere,' Draco said.
'There are thousands of rooms in this hall,' Hermione said.
'We'll just have to look in all of them!' Draco said. Together they started opening all the doors.(it's a hallway, people! there are doors to the left and right!)
Draco began to look in the door to the left and Hermione to the right.
'We're doomed!' Ron breathed.
'Shut up!' Fred hissed as Draco came closer to their hiding spot.
Just when Draco was about to reach for the doornob.....
'Granger! Malfoy!' Filch's voice rang through out the hall. Harry and Ron whiped their foreheads with their sleeves, as Draco turned away.
'What are you two doing here?!' Filch snapped.
'Oh! Uh, hi Mr Filch, hehehe,' Hermione said blushing a bit.
'We were just on a date that's all,' Draco drawled. Filch looked at them suspisiously.
'You arranged your date to be in the Entrance Hall?' Filch said.
'Yeah, you know, makin out in the hallway,' Draco drawled. Hermione glared at him and he smirked.
'I thought you two hate eachother?' Filch asked, determined to find out what they were up to.
'It was Granger who wanted to make out in the first place, not me,' Draco said smirking at Hermione, who was all red.
'Fine. I'll let you go this time, but it's getting late, so head back to your houses!' Filch sneered, Mrs Norris purring beside him.
'Alright,' Hermione said. Filch left, and boy were they thankful.
'Making out, eh?' Hermione said putting her hands to her hips.
'Hey, couldn't think of anything else, and besides, you kissed me earlier,' Darco said.
'Shut up! Come on we have to find them!' Hermione said.
'We'll do it tomorrow, they can't hide in Potions,' Draco sneered and headed towards the Dungeons.
'Wait!'
Draco turned around, 'What?' he asked.
'Thanks,' Hermione said, shyly. Draco raised an eyebrow and smirked.
'You're welcome,' he said, and headed towards the Dungeons once again.
*
Harry's POV
'Is the close clear?'
'I think so, here let me take a look.'
'Ouch! Ron! That was my foot!'
'Ouch! What the - Ron! - Now you're on my foot!'
'Let'me out! I'm suffocating in here! Let'me out! Let'me out! Let'me out!'
Finally we got the door open, all of us were breathing hard.
'That was close,' George breathed.
'Yeah - Did you see the look on their faces? They were ready to kill!' Fred said.
'Wow! I have never had so much fun in my whole life! .... Can we do that again?' Ron asked, eagerly.
Wow, Ron is right. That was fun, but it just felt wrong spying on Hermione like that, she was really mad. And I mean really mad.
'Come on, before Filch comes by with Mrs Norris again,' I said.
When we reached Gryffindor tower, we had to tip-toe all the way to the Boy's Dormitories. You never know where Hermione might pounce at you, at any moment.
Whoa, this has been quite a day. Although, how are we suppose to get away from Hermione and Malfoy in Potions tomorrow?
*
Hermione POV
Hahahaha! Draco's right! There is no other way of skipping Potions, unless you want to spend a month of detention with Snape! Hahahaha! There is no way out! Harry, Ron, Fred and George will be begging, for mercy! HAHAHAHAHAAA!
'Granger! What's wrong with you?! Are you just going to stare out into space?!' a voice yelled in my ear.
'Ow! Don't shout!' I said. I looked over and saw Draco standing there, smirking at me.
'Oh, it's you. I thought we were on the first name basis?' I asked.
'Granger, keep it down,' Draco whispered, 'people are watching.'
What?! Harry and Ron are going to humuliate us and Draco's thinking of what other people would think if they saw us talking to eachother in a friendly matter?! Like I said earlier, he will never change!
'Shut up! I haven't seen, Harry, Ron, Fred or George this morning at all! They didn't come to breakfast,' I said.
'They didn't, eh? Well Potions is going to start soon. We'll get them after class. I had a feeling something like this would happen,' Draco said.
What?
'What?! You knew?! You knew, and you didn't tell me?!' I barked.
'Take it easy, Gran - Hermione, I didn't know for sure. And besides it was Weasley that told me that you wanted to walk around after dinner, and Potter slowed down his broom on the Quidditch match. Plus, when Potter and Weasley came to Hogsmeade, the had cameras!' Draco said, 'It's not my fault!'
'You were the one that made this stupid bet in the first place!' I retorted.
'So! I don't care! They're all in your house! Not mine! You go after them, woman!' Draco yelled. I shrunk back.
'Sorry!,' I said sarcasticly. Draco's eyes softened and he gave a sigh.
'Why are we fighting for anyway? We have to think of a plan to kill them all!' Draco said.
'Don't kill them!' I said, 'Torture them first! And then kill them!'
Draco chuckled and grabbed my hand. I blushed a bit.
'Come on! We'll be late for Potions. Snape won't be happy, but since I'm his favorite student, I won't get in trouble. And if I tell him I kept you buisy, he won't give you detention. Trust me,' Draco said. Gripping my hand tighter, we ran to the Dungeons.
When we finally got down to the Dungeons, I was expecting Snape to yell at us or something, but Draco just said that he insulted me and we got into a fight. Snape didn't mind at all, considering it was Draco and I. If it was only me, I would have gotten a week of detention.
I sat beside Harry and Ron, and Draco with Crabbe Goyle and Den. I glared evily at Harry and Ron and they moved away a bit. There is no escape, this - is - WAR!
*
Ron's POV
This is it, we're doomed. Why did I even think of this stupid plan anyway?!
'Because you're a mindless crazy git!' my brain said, rudely.
Be quiet! I don't have time for you now! I have to dash out when class' over and head back to the Boy's Dormitories, before Hermione and Malfoy hunt us down and begins their little torture sessions!
'Weasley!'
'Wha? - Wha? - Huh?' I stamered. Uh oh.
'I asked you a question!' Snape snapped. 'How many ways can you use Dragon Blood?!'
'Huh? - Oh! Um, I.....thirteen?' I said, unsure. Okay, so maybe Hermione's lessons pay off a little, but I'm still not sure if that's the right answer. I mean, come on! I can't remember everything in life! No one can! Well maybe Hermione, but that's different! She's like some sort of smart alien thingy that came from Mars!
Snape looked at me and sneered.
'Good enough. Only a fool would expect better,' he said and walked away from me. Whew!
I looked at Harry. I can tell he was having trouble putting the ingrediants in the cauldren, but nither of us would dare ask Hermione. Look at her eyes. It's like they're glowing or something! If she was a pureblood, she'd probably be mistaken for You Know Who's daughter, or something.
'And, you're to do five pages of how vampires live and their history,' Snape said, 'you are dismissed.' Uh oh.
'You should have listened, you prat,' my brain said. Shut up! Ugh! I hate it when you do that!
'What?' See! You're doing it again!
'Am not!' Yeah! You are! Argh! Nevermind, I'll talk to you later!
'Whatever. You have the body. I'm just the brain.'
I packed my things quickly and gave Harry a terrifying look, which he generously returned. I didn't have time to think, I dashed out of the class room with Harry behind me.
'Where do you think you're going Weasley?' a drawling voice said. I looked up. Malfoy. He was blocking my way to the Gryffindor Tower, arms crossed and smirking evily. I turned around and found that Harry had froze as well. Hermione was blocking the way to the Entrance Hall. There's not way out! We're trapped! Help! SOS!
*
'Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in,' Draco sneered.
'Come on guys, no hard feelings, okay?' Harry forced a laugh. Draco glared at him.
'Where's the camera? What have you done with it?!' he questioned, menisingly. Ron tried to look shocked.
'Camera? Vhat camera? Vhat iz zis, camera?' he asked in a different accent.
'Shut up! We know you have it!' Hermione snapped. Harry and Ron jumped and looked at Draco as he began to speak.
'We have a couple of questions,' Draco drawled.
They,(Draco and Hermione) both looked at eachother and said, 'What?! When?! Where?! And why?!'
'I don't know what you're talking about, honest!' Harry exclaimed.
'Yeah, what he said, hehehe,' Ron said trying to get past Draco.
'You're not going anywhere, Weasley,' drawled Draco pushing him back.
'We know you have it. Just hand it over, and we'll try not to hex you with the painfull curses,' Hermione said. Draco looked at her.
'I thought we were going to use the the Cruciatus Curse. And of course my favourite, the Killing Curse!' Draco said. *dun, dun, dun, DUN!* Harry looked horrified and Ron looked like he was about to wet his pants. Hermione gave Draco one of her, shut up or I'll kill you, looks and he shut his mouth.
'Nevermind,' Draco said quickly. He turned to Harry, slammed him against the wall and put his rather pale hand on Harry's throat strangling him.
'Alright, Potter. If you don't tell us where it is, I'll make sure that the rest of your life will be a living hell,' Draco threatened.
'Ack! Don't do it, Harry!' Ron coughed, who was being pulled into a head lock by Hermione.
'Fr-Fred, Fred and George. They have the camera,' Harry choaked out, 'why do you want it anyway?' Hermione released Ron, who was now rubbing his throat, gasping for air.
'Alright, you can let Harry go now, Draco,' Hermione said. Draco continued strangling Harry.
'Draco!' Hermione said.
'Ahhhh! Aaaaack!' Harry choaked out.
'What?! Can't you see I'm buisy?! My dream come true! Killing Pot-head! Hahahaaa!' Draco laughed as he tightened his grip on Harry's neck. Harry was almost as pale as Draco, you might even consider him dead. (Voldemort would say, 'Huzzaa!!! I've done it!....well, not exactly! But who cares?!')
'Draco!' Hermione said pulling Draco back, who was thrashing about trying to beat the crap out of Harry.
'Twinkle, twinkle, little star,' Harry said and fell down with a thump.
'Harry! Are you okay?!' Ron asked.
'Oh, Ron! I was in a wonderful place! It was in this really hot, filled with lava and all that kind'a sh*t. There were these little Death Eaters with horns and tails dressed in red who were jabbing pitch forks in my butt,' Harry said groggly.
'Look what you've done to him! Do those cameras mean everything to you, that you'd risk killing someone to try and get it?!' Ron said outraged.
'Yes!'
'We're gonna make sure you don't take any pictures of us at the Christmas Ball next Sunday,' Draco said suspiciously.
'You two are going together?' Ron asked. Draco nodded slowly looking at them suspisiously.
Suddenly Harry and Ron grinned at them evily and ran past Draco and Hermione to the Gryffindor Tower.
'What the - Hey! - Sh*t!' Draco yelled after them. Hermione held out her hand to stop him.
'Let them go. I have a plan. Have you ever heard of anything called the Polyjuice Potion?' Hermione asked grinning.
'Yeah, we'll use the Polyjuice Potion!' Draco said, ' ... I thought Wonder Boy was dead?'
*
'Fred! Fred!' Ron yelled.
'George! George!' Harry yelled. The Fat Lady, who had been sleeping looked at them with loathing.
'Can't a portrait get some sleep without getting disturbed?!' she said.
'What? - Oh, sorry. Twinkling Stars,' Harry said and the portrait swung open.
'Where's Fred and George?!' Ron asked Ginny.
'I dunno. Maybe they got detention or something,' Ginny yawned.
'Come on we've gotta find them, quick!' Harry and Ron said running out of the Gryffindor Common Room.
'Someone's hadn't got a good nights sleep. Harry looks so pale,' Ginny said.
*
(Malfoy Manor)
'I CAN'T BELIEVE HIM! THAT LITTLE - '
'Lucius, please,' Narcissa said at her raging husband. Lucius sighed and slumped down on the couch beside her.
'Can you believe this?! Draco actually went out with that mudblood wrench!' Lucius said.
'Are you sure this Pansy Parkinson's telling the truth?' Narcissa asked. Lucius glared at her.
'Of course she is! - This is it! He is coming home for Christmas. I'll give him a good beating of a lfe time!' Lucius said.
'No, Lucius, no. Please don't. They have that Christmas Ball at Hogwarts this year and I'm sure Draco wants to go,' Narcissa said. Lucius gave her another glare and flopped down on the couch.
'Fine!' Lucius pouted and put an arm around his wife.
'Bad mood, eh?' Narcissa giggled. Lucius smirked at her.
'Uh huh. I'm tired. I'll go to bed now,' he said and yawned.
'Already. It's only four o'clock,' Narcissa said.
'I know,' Lucius said, 'That fool Arthur Weasel was being an idiot again prancing around, like he owned the place!'
'Isn't that what you do?' Narcissa asked. Lucius gave her a death glare.
'Nevermind,' she replied quickly.
'Alright then,' he said and walked up the marble stairs.
Narcissa sighed and took out a piece of parchment.
Dear Draco,
How are you, dear? Your father and I miss you very much, but I would like to ask you not to date that muggle-born anymore. Today I had to stop your father from racing there and taking you back home. He was absolutly furious that your friend Pansy Parkinson, wrote to us at 3:00am. Your father was really angry that we were disturbed. Please write back. I wish you were here for Christmas.
Love you,
Narcissa
Narcissa, folded the letter and gave it to her personal owl. She watched it fly away and went back to the (very large) living room.
'Mistress, Master wants a word with you,' the house-elf squeaked.
'Yes, thank you Pinky,' Narcissa replied and walked up the marble stair case.

(Hogwarts)
Draco's POV
Damn. What's everyone gonna say when I take that mud - er ... muggle-born to the ball? They'll think I'm nuts. Ugh. I hate my life.
'Oh, Draco,' a high pitched voice rang in my ear. No. Please don't let it be her!
'Ugh! Pansy, I thought you'd be with one of little girly friends. What're you doing here?! What do you want now?!' I drawled at her angrily.
'Nothing!' she purred and I rolled my eyes, 'What are you doing, Drakie babe?'
'I swore in class and Professor Sinistra heard. So she sent me back to the common room to think about what I did, but I forgot, so I'm just staring off into space,' I drawled bitterly.
'Oh,' Pansy said, 'you know ... the Christams Ball is coming up in a couple of days. Are you going with anyone?'
'Well I'm still thinking of asking this really pretty girl ...' I drawled out.
'Oh Draco! I would love to go with you! I always new you liked me!!!' Pansy shrieked with stars in her eyes.
I gave her the, 'clueless look' *AN: Thank you to Chloe for coming up with the idea* and drawled out, 'What are you talking about, you whore? Why the hell would I go with you?! Remember last time I took you, you kept saying to everyone that I was your boyfriend.'
'Yeah, well - it really wasn't my fault. And besides, I overheard Den talking to Chaze, that he was taking Granger, so if you had fun on your date a week ago, too bad, you can't take the Mudblood. That's why I sent a note to your mother and father,' Pansy said sweetly. I gritted my teeth.
Why the hell does she always have to nose in other people's buisness?! She's so annoying! And what does she mean she sent a letter to my parents? I thought I already talked - well, not really talked, more like screamed or yelled, but I thought she learned her lesson last time?! Can't she just move to another school, like Beaxbatons or Durmstrang?! Now, I'm going to yell at her face.
'You - sent - a - letter - to - my - FATHER?! ARE YOU CRAZY?! HE'LL SKIN ME ALIVE!!!' I yelled at her face.
'I just thought they'd like to know that their son went out with a mudblood,' Pansy said innocently, wrapping her long silky hair on her finger.
Think of happy thoughts, think of happy thoughts, think of happy thoughts.
'Out,' I said simply. Pansy gave me a quelling look.
'Get out. Get out! OUT!' I yelled. I heard a door slam and everything went all quiet. Told you I was going yell at her.
Damn her! Just ... damn her! Argh! She makes my life a living hell! Father is going to KILL me! ... And what did she mean that Grudge was going to take Hermione? It's probably all talk, I wouldn't worry about it.
Humm ... what should I where for the ball? Um ... I know! I'll wear black!
'Smart thinkin, Draco. Sure, wear black for the Christmas Ball! Granger'll probably be wearing girl colour dress robes, like pink or baby blue or something. Sure! And look at her partner, Draco Malfoy, who's wearing all black and....'
Shut up @$$! - Great, now I have to spend my free period with my brain. - Fine, I'll look....
I opened up my closet and looked at the set of black dress robes my father bought me. Um, which one shall I choose?
'What the hell?! They're all black! When was the last time you went shopping for clothes with mommy?'
Shut up! And don't talk about my mother that way!
'Besides, black is definatly my colour,' I said.
'I'm warning you, people who wear black usually end up becoming dark wizards, like Voldie.'
Cool! Okay, I'll wear black! I get to be a dark lord!
'Oh great, I get to spend my free time with my body. Just great.'
*
Hermione's POV
'ARGH! I don't have anything to wear!' I cried out. Great, I have absolutly nothing to wear! I forgot to buy new dress robes. This is bad.
'Hey Ginny,' I started, Ginny nodded her head, which would probably mean that she was listening. 'When's our next trip to Hogsmeade?'
'Tomorrow, why?' Ginny asked sitting up.
'I don't have anything to wear for Sunday,' I said looking through my closet.
'Geesh Hermione, your room is so big and you hardly have anything in it, only a couple of chairs, a desk, a lamp, your fourposter....and you hardly have any clothes in your gigantic closet! Tomorrow, we're going down to Hogsmeade and we're goin to buy you girl stuff!' Ginny exclaimed.
' ... Girl stuff?'
'Yeah! There's this really cool shop called, Cool Club for Gurls that sells a lot of cool things ... for girls!' Ginny exclaimed.
'I've never heard of it, where is it?' I asked.
'Right next to Cool Club for Boys,' Ginny said.
'Oh. Didn't even know there was such a thing,' I said dully.
'Come on, I'll show you what I'm gonna wear!' Ginny said bouncing off the bed.
'Okay, calm down, Ginny,' I said. Ginny went out of my dormitory and in about five seconds she came back with a very beautiful pink dress.
'Wow, Ginny! It's beautiful! Where'd you get this?' I asked amazed.
'It was my mum's,' Ginny said with stars in her eyes. It was almost freaky. It's really hard to imagine Mrs. Weasley fitting in that dress.
'Who's taking you?' I asked.
'Harry! He finally asked me! Of course I said yes!' Ginny said and began jumping like a maniac.
'Whoa - take it easy,' I said.
'Sorry.'
'Oh, I'm really jealous, Ginny. Your dress is really pretty and your partner is really honest and cute. And I have to be stuck with Mr Draco Malfoy, also known as the Slytherin King, Amazing Bouncing Ferret and Ferret Boy! Ugh! It's gonna be a total nightmare!' I exclaimed flopping down on the bed.
'It won't be so bad. Malfoy's not really that bad, just yesterday he asked me what colour dress robes should he wear, and if he wore black, would Hermione like it? It was weird,' Ginny said.
'What did you say?'
'I told him, you were going to have blue dress robes on. At the time I thought you already bought your robes. And I was pretty sure it would be blue, you're not really the pink type, are you?' Ginny asked.
'No. But I was thinking of buying blue ones in Hogsmeade, tomorrow anyway,' I said.
'We are going to have soooo much fun tomorrow, Mione!' Ginny exclaimed.
*
Harry's POV
'I don't get it. What're we suppose to do?' I asked. I wasn't trying to be dumb or anything, it's just, I don't get it.
'Oh Harry! You're too slow!' Fred said.
'Okay, here's the plan. We make copies of the photographs of Hermione and Malfoy kissing, and on Sunday, we go to the ball, and when Hermione and Malfoy start dancing, we give away all the pictures to everyone, and then we spray Hermione and Malfoy with silly string and - ' George said. Fred interupped.
'That's not the plan! The plan, is that we dare Hermione and Malfoy to go out with eachother for about a week - '
'Or a month!' Ron said.
'Shut up! - We dare them to go out with eachother for a month, or longer. We'll tell them they have to do it or else we'll show everyone the pictures. Then when they go on their date and start kissing and stuff, we'll bring the students to their date and then they'll see for themselves!' Fred exclaimed.
'Brilliant!' Ron said.
'I still like my idea ... but cool, man! I'm in!' George said.
'Won't that embarrass Hermione too much? I mean, my Firebolt is really improtant - ' But Fred interuppted.
'Very, very, very improtant!' he said.
'Yeah - We can't do it! Why don't we just stick to George's idea?' I asked.
'My idea sucks. Come on, don't tell me you don't have enough guts?' George said.
'I do so, have guts! I just don't use them too often!' I said.
'Well, we could do both!' Ron said.
'.......'
'Ron,' Fred said.
'What?'
'You're an idiot,' Fred finished.
'Oh.'
'Why don't we just take pictures on Sunday, eh? Won't that be fun? It'll embarrass Hermione enough,' I said. George grinned.
'Yeah! Ron's right! We'll do both ideas!' he said.
'I thought you hate your ideas,' Fred said.
'Shut up - We could do both - We can take pictures on Sunday and spray them with Silly String then, like Fred said we'll use the recent pictures from the ball to blackmail them! We can get anything we want! We can tell Hermione to like fail an exam, or Malfoy to drop his pants at the Great Hall!' George said.
'Excellent!'
'Brilliant!'
'Marvalous!'
'Incredible!'
Argh! I can't believe I'm going through with this! Malfoy almost killed me! After Sunday, Hermione'll probably join him on the torturing,
*
(Hogsmeade, the next day)
Hermione's POV
'Well, here we are Ginny. Where's that shop?' I asked.
'Over there!' Ginny squealed running right past the Three Broomsticks.
Well, what do you know. There is a Cool Club for Boys and a Cool Club for Gurls. I can't believe I never noticed them! They're right beside the Three Broomsticks!
I sighed and ran after Ginny.
'Oy! Ginny! Wait for me!' I panted.
'Man, you're outta shape! It must be all those books. I always new books were evil!' Ginny screeched.
' ... Uh, er - yeah,' I said.
We stepped into the shop.
'Wait till we get inside, Mione! It's so exciting! It's so cool! It's so -
' ... Lame,' I said as I took a look at my surroundings. 'This is crazy Ginny. We can't buy dress robes here! At least not ones with slits on the sides and espesially not the ones that are only up to our hips! That's CRAZY!'
'It is not! Here'll, I'll show you,' Ginny said and walked over to a portrait to the left.
'Olifergate!'
The portrait slowly swung open and there seemed to be another shop called, 'Fancy Meeting You Here.' What kind'a name is that, huh?!
'See, this is where all the dress robes are. Well, the fancy ones, with no slits on the sides and ones that go up to your hips, that is,' Ginny said.
We walked in and the whole place was filled with girls, both old and young. We began looking through all the dress robes.
'Uh, Ginny?'
'Yeah?'
'Why is this place called Fancy Meeting You Here?' I asked. Suddenly a girl walked up to me.
'Fancy meeting you here, Hermione. I thought you were the book type? You should really comb your hair, you look like a blueberry bush,' the girl said and walked away.
'That answer your question?' Ginny asked.
'Not exactly.'
'Well, this is usually the shop where all the bookworms go to buy their dress robes. So, when - lets say, you went here yesterday. People would say, fancy meeting you here. It's usually followed by an insult. I wasn't surprised at all when that girl insulted you,' Ginny said.
'Oh.' Ginny rolled her eyes.
'Come on! Pick one! You do want to look good on Sunday, don't ya?'
'Yeah, but I dunno. They're all really nice,' I said.
'Here, I'll look over there and you look over there, k?' Ginny said and walked away.
This is absolutly rediculous! A bookworm shop?! That's just so mean!
I began looking through the dress one by one. None of them caught my eye. Not one! I need a blue one.
'Yo, Hermione. Over there, look over there! It's on the left!' my brain boomed in.
I don't see anything.
'Argh! Take three steps to the right!'
Whatever - whoa!
'Whoa! You're right! This is absolutly perfect! I love it! Thanks a lot!' I said.
'Mione? Who're talking to?'
'Just my brain! - Ginny look! Isn't it beautifull?!' I shrieked holding up the dress.
'Wow, Mione. It's really amazing! Where'd you get it?' Ginny asked me.
'Who cares?!'
Ginny looked at the dress. It was white, with pearls attached to the sides and front. (looked almost like a wedding dress) It was long and came with matching white gloves.
'You're going to be the bell of the ball!' Ginny squealed.
*
(Saturday, at the Great Hall aka - Slytherin Table)
'Alright, so which one do you think I should wear?' Draco asked holding up two identical black dress robes.
'I dunno, Draco. That one's black. But this one's also black. I can't make up my mind ... oh my god! They're BOTH black!' Crabbe said stupidly.
'Maybe you should ask the Mudblood, Draco. Let her pick,' Goyle said.
'No way! She's not going to see what I'm wearing. It'll be too weird if I ask her what to wear,' Draco said, and sighed.
'How bout, you don't go with her at all,' said a cold sneering voice behind them.
'Grudge. How many times do I have to tell you? It's a bet. I'm supposed to go with her,' Draco drawled.
'She doesn't even want to go with you, why go with her?' Den shot back.
Draco's lips curled into a cruel smile, 'What's the matter? Haven't got a date? Why don't you go take Pug Faced Pancy Parkinson?'
Crabbe and Goyle howled with laughter. Draco smirked, 'Eh? Why don't you take her? She's been pretty cranky ever since I told her that she was an ugly pugged faced git with a nut for a brain. I don't think she'd mind if you take her. I know I won't.'
Den started to grind his teeth together, 'Well Hermione'll have probably gone with me, instead of you!' he snarled. Draco chuckled.
'KILL HIM! KILL HIM, DRACO! BLAST'EM INTO OBLIVION! MAKE HIM SUFFER!' Draco's brain yelled.
'Grudge. My brain is telling me to blast you into oblivion ... well? Should I? You are getting quite annoying,' Draco sneered.
'Come on guys, Arithmancy next,' a boy named Chaze Turge said. (he was a chaser in the slytherin team)
'Fine,' drawed Draco glaring at Den. He and Chaze were the only Slytherins that even bother to take Arithmancy.
'So, what's up? Why's Den so angry at you all of a sudden? Usually he hangs around you, right Draco?' Chaze asked as he and Draco walked to Arithmancy.
'It's because of Granger,' Draco said scowling.
'Oh. Well, no wonder he's mad a you. You should hear what the other Slytherins are saying when you went on the date with the Mudblood - '
'SHUT UP!!!' Draco yelled. The whole hall became silent. Hermione who was on her way to Arthimancy stopped in her tracks and dropped her books. Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws stopped to watch as Draco slammed Chaze on the wall and took out his wand preparing to do the Cruciatus Curse.
'DRACO!'
Draco turned his head. Hermione was standing on his left arms crossed. She looked extremely pissed.
'What do you think you're doing?!' Hermione hissed.
Draco let go of Chaze, who started coughing like crazy and holding his sore neck.
'That is no way to treat a pupil, Draco. As Perfect, I'm gonna have to tell the Headmaster about this. And, thirty points will be taken from Slytherin,' Hermione said.
'So?! I don't care! Mudblood! I'm cancelling this f*cking bet!! I can't stand one second with you! B*tch!' Draco spat and walked off.
'Draco ...?' Hermione said in a faint whisper. Her eyes started to fill with tears and she ran off.
*
Ron's POV
'Check mate!' I said.
'What?!! NOOOO!' Harry yelled and flopped down on the couch, 'You win again! It's not fair!'
'Haha!' I laughed.
Suddenly heard the Portrait of the Fat Lady swing open and Hermione came running in, crying.
'Hermione! What happened?!' I asked.
'What's wrong, Mione?!' Harry asked. Hey, we want to humuliate her, but not make her cry.
'It was Draco! ARGH! I HATE HIM! THE B*STARD!' Hermione yelled ran to the girl's dormiroties. Five seconds later the door to the girl's dormitories opened again and Hermione came out. She looked a bit embarrassed.
'I forgot, I have my own dormitory now,' she said and began to walk out.
'What did Malfoy do to you, Mione? I'll kill him for you!' Harry said eagerly.
'Yeah!' I said. Alright! I've been waiting for this moment for five years!
Hermione sniffed and began to wipe her tears away.
'No, it's alright, you don't have to beat him up. He was probably just in a bad mood, that's all,' she said. Uh ....
'Okay ... you sure?' I asked. She nodded her head.
'Yup. Just to tell you guys, the bet's off, Draco's not taking me to the ball. Now I don't have a date,' she said.
'Uh ... sorry Hermione. I've already got a date. I promised Ginny I would,' Harry said.
'Yeah, and I've already asked Lavender,' I said.
'Oh.'
'Hey I know! Why don't you go with Den Grudge? He's always wanted to go with you anyways,' Harry said.
'Oh yeah! Thanks, Harry! Cya!' Hermione said and ran out of the common room. Okay ....
'What was that all about? You just asked Hermione to go with Den Grudge! And Hermione actually was actually happy about it?! What about our plan?!' I said to Harry.
'Oh. Yeah ... I forgot about that, hehehe,' he said. Argh! Sometimes Harry can be sooo stupid. And I mean STUPID!
'We'll have to have another meeting with Fred and George. They'll know what to do,' I said.
'What? We still have to go with the plan?' Harry asked.
*
Draco's POV
God, I'm an idiot! Now I have to appoligise to Hermione. Urgh! I hate saying, sorry. Think of un sexy thoughts Draco, think un sexy thoughts. I suddenly got the image of Snape in a night gown baking cookies. I shivered.
Well, my happy thoughts were interrupted when Grudge suddenly burst the door open, squealing like a girl.
'SHE ASKED ME! SHE ASKED ME!'
I raised an eyebrow.
'So, a girl finally asked you out, Grudge, About time, ' I said smirking.
Den glared at me and then a smirk similar to mine appeared on his face.
'Well, I wouldn't be so happy if I were you,' he said, 'Hermione just asked me to go with her to the ball tomorrow.'
'What are you talking about?' I asked coldly.
Den's was smirking so broadly that his eyes were reduced to slits.
'She said, that you cancelled the bet and that she didn't want to appear at the ball with somebody who hurts her. Tough luck,' he said.
'What?! It was her fault!' I said.
'Whatever, I gotta get new robes, maybe father'll get me some new ones. Cya, good luck at finding a date,' Den chuckled and left. Who does he think he is?!
Quick as a flash I darted over to the Gryffindor Tower. Maybe Hermione was is the Perfect's dorm. I looked up at the statue of a girl, she had a Gryffindor sign on her left arm, she looked at me suspisiously and said, 'Password?'
'Er - ' Okay, what kind of password would Hermione give this b*tch?
'Er - flowers?' The starue shook her head.
'Um - sunshine?' I tried again.
'Water lilies?'
'Something?'
'Girly Stuff?'
'Oh I don't know! - Hermione Granger is the best?' Suddenly the statue moved out of the way. She's still looking at me suspisiously. Great, it's the Gryffindor Stare. That's what me and the other Slytherins call it, the Gryffindor Stare.
I opened the door and walked inside. Damn. Why'd they haveta make the Perfect's Common Room really nice for the Gryffindors and really crapy ones for the Slytherins. I mean come on, we rule! Note to self, don't make fun of the decorators.
'Hermione? Hermione are you in here?' I called out.
'What are you doing here?' asked a cold voice. I felt the hairs on the my neck stick up and I turned around. It was, Hermione.
'You gave me a scare,' I said, sitting down on the couch.
'How'd you get in here?' she asked, coldly.
'I just kept guessing the password, oh and just to ask, why is your password, Hermione Granger is the best?' I chuckled.
She glared at me and I shut my mouth.
'Just tell me what you need to say and get out,' she snapped. I sighed.
'Alright. I - I want to say s - sor - sor -sorry!' There! I said it!
She looked at me, puzzled, 'What for?' she asked. I thought she was supposed to be smart.
'For yelling at you like that. I didn't mean it and I want to take you to the freakin ball,' I drawled. She gave me an apologetic smile.
'Sorry, I already asked Den,' she said.
'You really want to show up with that dumb headed git?' I asked, smirking.
She giggled, 'No, but I can't turn back time, now can I?' she said.
'Well, save me dance, k?' I asked and gave her a wink. WHAT THAT HELL AM I SAYING?!!!
Hermione turned pink and nodded her head.
'Okay, but how am I suppose to get away from Den? He'll probably follow me everywhere!' she said.
'Don't worry, I'll take care of him,' I said smirking.
'Who're you taking to the ball?' Hermione asked me.
'Dunno. Maybe, I'll just go by myself,' I said. Hey, it's better then going with Pansy.
'Oh.'
'Are you finished the Polyjuice Potion?' I asked.
'Almost. I just need a few more ingrediants, but they're in Snape's office,' Hermione said.
'I'll take care of him,' I said.
'Yeah, you are his favourite!' Hermione giggled.
'Yeah. Well, I better go now. Cya tomorrow,' I said.
'Okay. Bye!' Hermione said as I headed out the door. I can't believe I asked her to save me a dance! Am I crazy?!
'Yeah! I'm embarrassed to share the same body with you, Draco!' my brain said.
Shut up! Go to hell!
'Whatever.'
*
'YOU'RE WHAT?!!!' Ginny screamed.
'I said that I'm not going with Draco!' Hermione repeated.
'But I already told everyone you'll be with someone hot! And Den Grudge is definatly not hot! There are posters out there saying, 'This is Den Grudge! He is very unpopular!' Ginny exclaimed.
'Yeah, well ... what am I suppose to do about it? And besides,' Hermione began to blush, 'Draco said he to save a dance for him.'
Ginny squealed.
'He definatly likes you then!' she said.
'What're you talking about?' Hermione asked, puzzled.
'Well, first of all, he made this whole bet thing, for you to go out with him. That's always the first thing that guys do when they like you but don't know it,' Ginny said.
'Really?'
'Yeah. Now, the second thing is that he took the bet seriously and beat Harry on the match. The third thing is, that you two kissed, number four is that you added that you'd go to the Christmas Ball with him and he agreed, right?' Hermione nodded. 'Yeah. So number five, is that he asked you to save him a dance. He definatly likes you! Omigosh!' Ginny squealed. Hermione put her right hand on her head and flopped down on her bed.
'You're right. But, Draco's always hated me! Why's he changing his mind?' Hermione asked.
'Well, guys change, Mione. You can't just expect a guy to be evil for the rest of their life ... well, maybe You Know Who, but still ...' Ginny said. Hermione sighed.
'Why? Do you like him?' Ginny asked.
'No! Yes! No! But, yes, but - oh, I don't know!' Hermione said burying her head in her hands.
'It's okay. He is pretty cute, you know. Not as cute as Harry, but that's my opinion,' Ginny said.
'Yeah.'
'Well, we'd better get to sleep, it's getting pretty late. Cya in the morning Mione, sleep well,' Ginny yawned, opened the door and left.
'Ugh! I hate my life' Hermione said aloud.

'Shush! - Harry that's my foot!'
'Sorry! I can't see!'
'Be quiet! You'll wake everyone up!'
'Oh Ron! I don't think we should go along with this,' Harry said.
'Shut up! Fred and George said that they'll meet us here!' Ron said.
'Well, where are they?'
'Right here.'
'Finally! We've been waiting for hours!' Ron complained.
'Shut up! So, we're here to disguss, operation -'
'Ruin Malfoy and Hermione's Life!' Ron interrupted.
'Be quiet, squib!' George hissed elbowing Ron in the ribs.
'Ow! That's me!'
'Sorry, Harry. Didn't see ya there.'
'Shut up! We have to do something about Grudge ... ' Fred said, ' ... well come on, think!'
'Right!'
'We can lock him up!' Harry suggested.
'We can hex him!' George said.
'We can kill him!' Ron exclaimed.
'Right, I got it! We can lock him up!' Fred said.
'That's what I said!'
'Really? I'm pretty sure it was my idea,' Fred said.
'We have to have bait,' George said.
'I have an idea! - Hermione's picture!' Ron said.
'That's right! Grudge keeps this picture of Hermione somewhere in his bag, he adores it! We'll lead him to the Gryffindor Common Room and lock him in a closet!' Harry said, ' ... Why the hell did I say that?'
'Alright. Who'll steal the photo, then?' Fred asked.
'Ron! No one can stand him!' George exclaimed.
'Hey! Why me?!' Ron argued.
'Because ... just because! So there!' Fred said.
'Fine!'
'Alright!' everyone yelled.
'Who's there?!' came Filch's voice.
'Uh oh!'
*
(Next morning)
'There he is!' Fred pointed to Den who was admiring his picture of Hermione.
'Go, Ron, go Ron, go!' they chanted. Ron whistled as he passed Den. All of a sudden, he grabbed the picture and made a run for it.
'Hey! Come back here, Weasley!' Den yelled after him.
Ron could hear Den's footsteps behind him and dashed to the Gryffindor Tower.
Meanwhile, Fred, George and Harry were waiting around the corner for Ron and Den to pass by.
'AHHHHHHHH!' came Ron's terrified scream.
'COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE B*STARD!' Den yelled.
Seconds later, Ron came running past them.
'NOW!' Fred yelled. He George and Harry grabbed Den as he was running by and put a sack over him.
'Stop struggling!' George said.
'Here, Harry,' Fred said handing Harry a bat.
'What's this for?' Harry asked.
'Wack him over the head. Duh!' Fred said.
'Uh okay,' Harry swung the bat and hit Den on the head.
'Cool! You might have even killed him! Good work, Harry!' George exclaimed.
'AHHHHHH!'
'Ron, Grudge is already in the sack,' Fred said.
'It's not that! It's this!' Ron said holding up the picture of Hermoine.
'AHHHHHH!'
Hermione posing and was wearing a navy blue bikini, plus she was licking chocolate ice cream. (my fav!)
'What the hell is she doing?!' Harry asked, shocked.
'What the hell is she wearing?!' Fred exclaimed.
'What the hell is she licking?!' George exclaimed.
'Eww! Burn it! Burn it!' Ron yelled.
'Shut up! Come on, we haveta get him locked up. The ball starts is ... omigosh! In ten minutes! Come on you jack asses! Get moving!' Fred said.
*
(At the ball)
'Where is he?' Hermione asked Ginny.
'I don't care! - Where's Harry?!' Ginny pouted. Just then Harry appeared out of no where.
'Hi guys!' Harry said running up to them.
'You're late!' Ginny said.
'Sorry, we er - I mean, I forgot!' Harry stammered.
'Well come on! Let's dance!' Ginny said and pulled on Harry's arm.
'Oh great! Where's Den? He's suppose to be here,' Hermione said.
On her left she saw Ron and Lavender dancing and Harry and Ginny were dancing beside them. Hermione sighed and sat down on a chair.
'I'm the only one who hasn't got a date,' she thought sadly.
'Can I have this dance?'
Hermione looked up, Draco was offering his hand to her. Blushing, she put her hand in his and he led her to the dance floor. A slow song was being played.
'Where's Grudge?' Draco asked.
'I dunno,' Hermione said laying her head in his shoulder. Draco took a sniff of Hermione's hair.
'Man, she smells good,' Draco thought.
Hermione lifted her head up, 'Did you just smell my hair?' she asked.
'No!' Draco said quickly. Hermione gave him a shy smile and layed her head back on him shoulder.
'Is it working?' Ron asked as he danced with Lavender near Harry.
'Yeah,' Harry said.
'What'd you say?' Ginny asked.
'No! Er - I mean nothing,' Harry said.
'Okay.'
Ron shrugged at Harry. Suddenly the door bust open and a very crazed looking Den came thundering in.
'Uh oh,' Harry, Ron, Fred and George said at once.
Den took one look at Draco and Hermione and grabbed his wand from his pocket.
Proffesor McGonagal came running up to him.
'Mister Grudge! Put that wand down at once!' she yelled, but it was too late, Den had already done a spell.
'Expelliarmus!' he cried and pointed his wand at Draco.
