Disclaimer: Nope, don't own Harry Potter
A/N: Hey I'm back! Im soo sorry for not wring sooner!! Midterms went well and I have gotten my report card, all good grades! Yaay! Just a few quick corrections and notes, in the second chapter (I think that's the right chapter) I said they were going to Hogsmead. I made a typo they are going to Diagon Alley. Sorry for any confusion! Another thing, I have been spelling Viktor wrong! I realized it last night, as I was re-reading chapter 7 in my notebook. Sorry! Now, on with the story! Enjoy!!
Draco watched her as she stood and faced him "Who is this?" He asked Viktor as he sauntered over and took a seat next to Hermione. Viktor looked stonily at him and didn't answer.
Hermione watched him cross the room at sit next to her. She got out of her chair to go sit by Harry, but before she could take a step, Draco grabbed her arm and pulled her into her recently vacated seat.
"Got tired of that prissy little mudblood Granger? Wouldn't let you shag her? Good thing choice I think. I personally never stay with a bird I can't fuck," He stated glancing at Hermione he said as he was looking her up and down," This one looks like a good second choice. Looks easy, nice body too."
Hermione couldn't take it anymore. She turned to him, her face red with anger, " You stupid fucking ferret! I am the "prissy little mudblood!" Hermione glared at Draco.
Malfoy looked completely taken a-back for a minute, but just for a minute. A purely evil smile replaced his shocked look. His eyes slowly swept Hermione's figure, which was not at all covered by the tight clothes she wore. I She certainly has grown up since last year. Probably be a damn good fuck. Maybe later I will ask Viktor to share.I
With leer on his face he said to her, "The little mudblood had grown up. Too bad you're a mudblood, if you weren't I might think about sha-" Hermione raised her hand to smack him, and she would have too if Viktor hadn't grabbed her arm.
"Draco, stop. What do you want? I told you I was busy this week." Viktor interrupted Draco.
"My father sent me to tell you that he wants me to go to Diagon Alley with you next week." Draco told him, knowing that he couldn't refuse a request made by his father.
"Aww what's wrong Malfoy? Mummy and Daddy can't look at you're face anymore?" Insulted Harry. Draco spared only a cold glance in Harry's direction and turned back to Viktor.
Viktor was silently weighing his options. Risk the wrath of Lucius Malfoy on him and most likely his family, or the wrath of his friends? Finally he said in a grim voice, "Yes you can come."
Hermione gave a small squeak of surprise.
"WHAT?" yelled Harry.
Draco looked triumphant. "Great. I will tell my father. Let me know what time you plan on ordering the portkey for," Draco stood up and started to walk across the room to the oak doors' "I'll have my bags delivered the night of the Farewell Ball on Saturday." Draco said as he crossed the room and swept out of the breakfast room doors in a flurry of black robes.
Hermione turned to Viktor and glared at him. "Why did you say yes?" She demanded.
"No one refuses a Malfoy." Viktor said as he stood up and left the room.
The next few days were a pleasant as they could have been with the storm cloud of Malfoy hanging over their heads. Viktor's parents returned early Thursday morning, but Hermione didn't get to see them until Friday morning. Mrs. Krum came into Hermione's room early that morning to plan what she was going to wear to the Ball that they were having that night. Viktor had warned her the night before that she might not have a suitable gown. Mrs. Krum found Hermione still asleep in bed.
"Hermione, dear, wake up." She said gently shaking her.
Hermione sleepily looked up at the dark haired woman with the twinkling blue eyes who was leaning over her bed. "Who are you?"
The woman smiled, " I am Viktor's mother. Hilda Krum."
"Oh!" Hermione exclaimed sitting up in her bed.
Mrs. Krum let out a girlish giggle before saying, "I've come to see if you have a suitable gown for tonight's ball."
"Oh, err, well.I brought one formal dress with me, but I really don't think it is appropriate. I was going to ask a house elf to see if they could maybe fix it some how." Hermione let her words trail off. Mrs. Krum as already starting across the room towards the closet.
As she was walking she said "Oh don't be silly! If you are lacking we can make a quick trip to Applebee Alley." She was already opening the closet doors and Hermione scrambled out of bed in her nightgown hurried to the closet.
Mrs. Krum was busy analyzing her dress. Hermione stood in the middle of her closet awkwardly. "Hmmm, looks like you are right. I think we will have to make a quick visit to Applebee Alley." She said as she put the dress back and swept out of the room. As she was nearing the door she called out, " Be ready to leave in an hour!"
Hermione thanked the lord that she had taken a bath last night. She grabbed a pink spaghetti strapped sundress off its hanger and threw it on. She put on the minimal amount of makeup, and tied her hair back into a ponytail. She grabbed her money bag slid her feet into her sandals and ran to the front door.
Mrs. Krum was already in the front foyer waiting for her. "Ready to go dear? I've already let Harry and Viktor know we are going out." She asked.
"Yes m'am, I'm ready."
Mrs. Krum reached out and held Hermiones hand tightly She took out her wand and waved it over them muttering something, although Hermione couldn't tell what. All of a sudden everything went back and there was no up or down. It was the oddest feeling Hermione had ever had, being suspended in this black nothingness. It only lasted for a few minutes. Just as suddenly as the blackness had come, it was gone.
Hermione looked around and saw they were standing near a beautiful fountain. All around them people were appearing next to the fountain, walking up to it and disappearing. Hermione guessed that they had just apperated to Applebee Alley. She couldn't wait to learn how.
Mrs. Krum led her to a tiny shop that sold dress robes and gowns. As Hermione looked around she saw that all the gowns in the shop cost an arm and a leg. She was going to point this out to Mrs. Krum when a very well dressed young lady came up to them.
"Hello. My name is Cindy. Can I help you fine anything today?" she said. She seemed very nice in Hermione's opinion.
"Oh, yes thank you Cindy. You see I am having a ball tonight and we have recently discovered that my son's girlfriend," Mrs. Krum glanced over at Hermione, " Doesn't have a suitable pair of dress robes. Do you think you can help us find one?"
Cindy's eyes swept over Hermione, and a smile came over her lips. "Yes I do believe I know the perfect dress robes! Please, follow me."
Cindy turned around and led them to the back of the shop. She stopped at a rack of gowns and searched through them. When she was to the middle of the rack, she pulled out a most beautiful pair of dress robes that Hermione instantly loved. It was sapphire blue, and made of silk. On the gown part, there was a were two tiny straps that crossed to make an "X" in the back, but other then that, the back was bare. It had long sapphire blue robes to mach, with bell sleeves. Cindy directed her to the fitting room to try on the dress robes. It looked wonderful on her; it hugged her curves in just the right places. As soon as she stepped out of the fitting room, it was decided that these were the dress robes she would wear to the ball.
After Hermione paid for the dress robes and Mrs. Krum ordered them to be delivered to the mansion immediately she said "Now we have just one last stop to make. To the jewelers!"
"Oh, but .I don't think.that is.I mean.I don't think I can...er...afford a trip to the jewelers." Hermione struggles to say as she was turning the color of a ripe tomato.
"Hermione dear, don't worry about money! This will be a gift. From me to you. Now, I think we should go with a nice sapphire and diamond necklace. Maybe a bracelet also." Mrs. Krum babbled about it all the way down the street and into the jewelers.
As soon as they walked into the shop a rather nice old man greeted them. He asked what they were looking for and Mrs. Krum immediately began telling him about her dress and how they needed a necklace and bracelet for Hermione. The old man went into the back and returned a few seconds later with a two black velvet boxes, one square and one a long rectangle. He opened them and in the square box was a necklace of sapphires and diamonds, just as Mrs. Krum wanted, and when he opened the other box, it was a bracelet just the same as the necklace. Mrs. Krum bought it on the spot.
After the jewelers it was time to go home. They disappearated at the fountain, and were home again in minutes.
They arrived just in time to hear the clock strike four o'clock. Mrs. Krum sent Hermione up stairs to begin getting ready and sent a house elf named Mippy to go fetch Harry and Viktor from the Quidditch pitch.
The hectic preparations for the ball began.
