Chapter VII
The Ball
The play finished 30 minutes ago and the cast has to change into gowns in 25 minutes. Hermione was looking really spectacular that night. She was wearing a lavender spaghetti strap that fits perfectly with her cinnamon eyes. "Where are they?" Hermione muttered as she looked for Harry and Ron. She finally spotted Harry and Ron talking to Lavender and Parvati. Lavender was sitting on Ron's lap. "Oh! Hi Hermione" She greeted. Hermione smiled back at her. "Hi Lavender, Parvati" She greeted her back. Lavender looked stunning on her pink baby tee top and pink checkered skirt. "Why haven't you changed Lavender?" Hermione asked curiously. "Oh! Is it time already? I better go." She gave Ron a quick kiss on the lips then left, followed by Parvati, also giving Harry a quick kiss on his lips. (I know you don't like Parvati and harry together but I have no choice. I don't want Harry to be alone!) "Ron? Harry? I need to talk to you for a while." Hermione said, wary. Ron and Harry looked at each other then nodded. Ron and Harry is her best friend since first year and she is sure they will tell her the truth. They have to! "Okay, Herm. But just a minute, Okay? We have to apologize to Professor McGonagall for you." Harry said scanning the room for Professor McGonagall. "My, Hermione, you look great!" Hermione stared at her two best friends. "Thank you Harry!" Hermione smiled at Harry's compliment. "Harry's right you know! You look spectacular." Ron added. Hermione's smile grew larger. "What is it you want to talk about, Hermione?" Harry asked still scanning for Professor McGonagall. "You planned this didn't you?" She threatened. "If you don't tell the truth Harry, you'll get a big fist sticking in your noses!" "Plan what? Exactly." Ron asked curiously. "The changing of lines" Hermione accused "I am very well aware of that!" "What made you think that? Hermione, we didn't---" Harry started but Hermione quickly interrupted "Then why did you shake hands with Malfoy! I thought you hated Malfoy. You were practically giving me disapproving looks when I told you that I liked him." Harry tried to argue but was always interrupted by Hermione before he could say another word "You must have blurted that to Malfoy when I left the Great Hall one day when I told you Malfoy hates me! And then you planned this!" "Hermione, you don't have to be so violent to us," Harry said in dismay "You frighten us sometimes!" "Well tell the truth Harry or you'll be frighten for the rest of your lives" Hermione glared at her two best friends and then she heard Ron gulp. "Hermione, we talked to Malfoy but he never told us about changing lines. He told us that he'll tell after the play." Ron reasoned. "We're sorry, Hermione!" Harry apologized. "But Malfoy planned the changing of lines" "Oh, we are so in trouble Harry!" Ron cried "McGonagall will scold us for not scolding you!" He pointed at Hermione. Hermione immediately felt sorry and guilt for her two best friend. She regretted jumping immediately to conclusions. She swears she's going to do something Horrible to Malfoy. Draco's the only person who made Hermione thought her friends was the enemy and the enemy is her friend. He made her scream at Harry and Ron! Draco is the only person that Hermione wanted to put a spell on. The Cruciatus curse, Maybe. "Sorry Ron! I'll scold Malfoy for you" She finally smiled. "And I'm sorry I scolded you!" Hermione looked at them smiling sadly. "It's okay, Herm. You're just upset." Ron said sincerely "And besides we need to apologize to you too!" "What?" Hermione gasped "You don't have to, Ron" "So you're not mad at us, Herm?" Harry said uncertain, again scanning the backstage for Professor McGonagall. 'Typical Harry Potter!' Hermione thought. She liked Harry or even loved the dark-messy-hair boy but she just couldn't bare Harry being so worried all the time for her. It sometimes annoys her. "A little." Hermione admitted "But I thought you disagree with me being with Malfoy." "We did. But when we saw you two in the play, I just couldn't help seeing the love in your eyes." Harry putted his right arms at her shoulder and walked Hermione towards the door. "Go on Hermione, I'm guessing your Genesis is waiting in the lake" Hermione hugged Ron and Harry tightly and then said cheerfully "Thank you! You two are the best." "What are friends for Herm?" Ron looked at Hermione for the last time and then continued now looking at the floor. "Just two more favor Herm." "What?" "Herm, Pls. scold Malfoy for us for that changing lines scheme, We are certainly sure that Professor Snape or McGonagall will give us detention and even a few points from our house. And Please don't keep on sticking to Malfoy or think about him every second of the day. We'll feel like we have lost you. Don't trade us to Malfoy." Hermione smiled at her two best friends then whispered "I wont". 'I certainly wont forget the two angels who has guided me for seven years here in Hogwarts' She thought as she saw Draco Malfoy staring at the frozen lake.
