I dedicate this chapter to all my readers and my friends
********************
The next day at breakfast Hermione was talking to Harry and Ron and telling them exactly what had happened the night before. When Draco looked over at the Gryffindor table to maybe eye Hermione he saw Hermione talking to Harry and Ron and to his surprise they were smiling.
"What's wrong Drakie" Pansy asked "Nothing, nothing at all" Draco said with a grin across his face "did you here there having a Yule ball for the seventh years ... I wonder who will be taking me" Pansy said with a hint in her voice. Draco didn't answer as he was still watching Hermione (why cant I stop thinking about her . is there something wrong with me) Draco was very much in thought.
Professor McGonagall was tapping a spoon on the goblet that was right beside her "attention .. Attention thank you" she said with a smile on her face. Suddenly Dumbledore stood up "most of you know by now and are wondering if the rumors are true .for the people who don't know .on December 25 there will be the Yule ball.but only for the seventh years" Dumbledore sat down and smiled. "This is going to be great" Hermione said with some food in her mouth. " A Yule ball. but isn't that only to happen when there's a Triwizard Tournament?" Ron asked "who cares" Harry said grabbing another piece of toast and shoving it into his mouth.
Hermione was just finishing copying down the ingredients for the poly juice potion Snape had written down for the class when Professor Dumbledore knocked on the door. "yes hello Severus may I please see Miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy for a few moments" Snape nodded his head. Hermione and Draco got straight out of there seats and went into the hall way Professor Dumbledore closed the door behind them " now the reason I wanted to talk to you about was about the Yule ball.. if you don't mind you will be making the decorations for it and since you are head boy and head girl I would like you too , to be partners for it" Professor Dumbledore said with his hands clasping each other tightly "Are you serious Professor I mean you want me and him to go together" Hermione said with a worried look on her face "yes its tradition for the head boy and head girl to go together so lets try to not break that tradition.now you to better return to your class" Professor Dumbledore said walking away. As Hermione and Draco had returned, each of there facial expressions were different Hermiones was all sad and depressed looking, and Dracos facial expression looked happy yet suicidal.
Since she Ron and Harry were in the very back of the classroom they could at least slip in a word or two. So finally Hermione told them all about what had just happened "we should really complain that's just wrong" Harry said "how do we know Hermione doesn't really like that idea remember we did catch her with Malfoy" Ron said coldly "come on Ron you know it was Malfoys fault Hermione wouldn't lie she's are friend we know she wouldn't lie" "exactly Ron how could you think of a thing like that" Hermione said with anger in her eyes "what are we talking about back there you three" Snape called from the front of the room "we..umm. er..well we were talking about the grossness in this potion" lied Hermione. Snape of course did not believe them "Ten points from Gryffindor for your class mates conversation"
At dinner Harry Ron and Hermione were thinking that after dinner they would go visit Hagrid until Draco came up to them and said "Professor Dumbledore wants us to start making the decorations after dinner, so what ever your plans are .break em" "Oh know..cant we do it another time I'm really busy with homework" Hermione lied "So.so..sorry Granger.but Professor Dumbledore told me tonight" Draco said with a sneer.
"well this sucks don't it" Harry said when Draco was walking to the Slytherin table "hey what if we ask Dumbledore if you can do it another night" Ron said smiling "good plan..but I should ask him alone because if you two come he might think we are up to something" Hermione said standing up, then she walked up to where all the teachers were sitting and was talking to Professor Dumbledore "I wonder what he's saying" Harry said looking curious "it doesn't look to good he's not smiling" Ron said who wasn't smiling any more. Hermione started to walk back to where she was sitting "so what did he say" Harry asked. "he said.. no.he said the earlier we start them the faster there done" Hermione said with a sigh. Just then Harry looked over at the Slytherin table and Draco looked back laughing at the sight of there sorrow. "Hermione .. I thought Draco liked you ..well unless that kiss was a dare...because he's laughing at us" Harry said in a sort of a whisper so no one could hear him but her Ron and himself . " Yah well he's a stupid git anyway and that was probably a dare he wouldn't do such a thing he hates Mudbloods and probably wishes that they would all die" Hermione said looking confident.
After dinner Hermione was walking down the corridors there was no one else there so she was all by herself in a dimly lit hallway. As she was walking she saw a class room door half open. "what's that doing opened. maybe a teacher is in there" Hermione thought to herself. So she walked to the half opened door and opened in all the way and shut it behind her "Hello anybody in here.Hello" Hermione said quietly. There was one candle lit and no one was in here Hermione got suspicious. Suddenly she felt a hand over her mouth and then the candle blew out.
