"Why, did your boyfriend run out on you, cause he found out that you're a mudblood?" He sneered. She didn't even notice that behind him was the white mask of her mystery man. She glared at Malfoy, before swearing under her breath and going back into the Great Hall. Once gone, Draco leaned against the wall, and took a deep breath.
' Malfoy that was too close,' he thought, ' One more second, and she would've seen you switch back to your race costume.'
He spent the rest of night watching Hermione from a great distance. She was smiling now, but she wore a puzzled look on her face. Her friends Lavender and Parvati joined her, talking and figuring out who that could've been.Harry and Ron soon brought over the drinks, and joined in on the conversation.
"Maybe it was Snape," Ron joked. The three girls looked at Ron.
"Please tell me you're joking," Lavender said. When he nodded, a look of relief came on each of the girls faces.
"What about that 4th year Hufflepuff, the Chaser. He's tall," Harry suggested.
"You mean Owen Cauldwell?" Parvati asked.
"Yeah, him," Harry said.
"Nah, couldn't have been him...he was with Laura Madley," Lavender jumped in, "He was dancing right beside Ron and I."
They spent about a half an hour, before finally giving up. Ron took Lavender to the dance floor, and just as Harry was about to take his partner, Parvati spoke up.
"Harry, honey, I'm kinda tired. Why don't you take Hermione for this dance, and come get me later."
Hermione was shocked, knowing that Parvati was very protective, when it came to Harry and other girls. Parvati just looked at Hermione, and winked.
"Go ahead, you've been on the dancefloor only twice tonight." Hermione smiled at her friend, and went with Harry. Peeves, who was the dj for the night, put on a fast pace song, and Harry and Hermione began to dance.
"So who do you think should win for male single?" Harry yelled, over the loud music.
"I dunno...what do you think?" Hermione yelled back.
"What about Ernie Macmillan from Hufflepuff? His rabid dog costume is very original," Harry suggested. Hermione nodded, glancing over at Ernie, who was dancing with Mandy Brocklehurst, a 7th year Ravenclaw.
"How about for female single?" Hermione yelled.
"Padma looks good," Harry said. Padma was dress as a female pirate, and she even had her owl dress up as a tropical bird, that sat on her right shoulder. She made her left leg, into a peg leg, and even coloured her teeth to make it look rotten.
"I was just gonna suggest her!" Hermione yelled. They continued to yell back and forth, until they decided the two best dressed couples. Finally it was midnight. The ball was a huge sucess, but it was over. Harry and Hermione, summoned the 4 gift baskets, and announed the 4 winners.
"For best male single...Ernie Macmillan!" Harry exclaimed. Ernie walked up the stage, and modeled his outfit, then accepted his prize.
"And for best female single...Padma Patil!" Hermione exclaimed. Parvati clapped and cheered the loudest for her twin sister.
"And for second place, best dress couple...Dennis Creevey and Ginny Weasley!" The pair of freshly cooked lobsters made their way to the stage. Everyone clapped and laughed, enjoying the sight of the couple. Dennis and Ginny laughed, not expecting all this publicity.
"And in first place..." Hermione started. She looked at Harry and the two said together, "Adrian Pucey from Slytherin and Eleanor Branstone from Hufflepuff!"
The couple dressed as cave men/women (kinda like Fred and Wilma Flinstone) walked to the front to the stage, and was meet by applause from their fellow students. After the presentation of awards, everyone except the prefect had gone to their rooms.
"Congradualations everyone," Harry said, "This ball was a sucess, and it couldn't have been possible without your help."
They began to clean up the Great Hall, but didn't notice that Malfoy had stayed. He was leaning against the Great Hall doors, watching Hermione balancing a tray of drinks in one hand, and a tray of deserts in another. She was headed to the kitchen, and was nearly to where Malfoy was positioned. A streamer had caught on the back of Hermione's high heel shoes, and she tripped. Draco lunged forwards, stopping Hermione's fall, and trying to grab the tray before they fell as well. The tray of drinks crashed to the floor, and the prefects and Harry stopped what they were doing, and turned to look at Hermione. Draco pulled her up, still holding her. She looked into his eyes. They looked so familier, but she didn't know how.
"Oi! Malfoy!"Ron yelled, his face turning red, "What are you trying to do? Kill Hermione?"
"She was clumsy, she tripped, I stopped her Weasel. You should be thankful," Malfoy sneered, before letting Hermione go, and left. Hermione watched him go, and didn't notice that Ron and Harry were beside her. Ron touched her shoulder.
"You okay Hermione?" He asked quietly. She nodded, then continued to clean up the mess, made by hundreds of young wizards.
' Why did he help me? Why was he even there?' She thought to herself.
