Chapter 3- Fate

A\N: Okay I didn't wanna bore you with useless details about shopping so I am skipping directly to the ball. Recap real quick! Hermione is going as Arwen, the Elf Princess(from the Lord of the Rind movie), Malfoy is going as a punk rocker( I know it's a bad choice but really it's all I could think of: I was at a loss!), and Harry and Ginny are going as Romeo and Juliet(it was all I could think of because I was forced to read the book, it was boring). Sorry for the delay! One more thing.. thank you to my Beta Reader Megan!

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Sad isn't it.

She had just finished the spell McGonagall taught them. Her dress, which she had bought in Hogsmeade, was a white gown. It draped down, covering her ankles but showed her high heels, which were also white, with thin spaghetti straps and an open toe. The top was v-necked and tight fitting from her chest to her waist. After her waist the dress flowed out, slightly, enough so that when she twirled in front of the mirror, it billowed out. And her sleeves were pleasant sleeves. On her neck, she wore a small gold chain with a small, tear shaped diamond on it. Her body was her own, but her face and hair belonged to the character.

It was close to 8:30 when Hermione walked into the Great Hall. She automatically went to look for Harry and Ginny. They were easy to find. Harry was in a Romeo costume(A\N: Yeah that includes tights and sword!) and Ginny, of course, was dressed as Juliet.

"You guys look wonderful!"

"And you are?" Harry looked slightly confused.

"Hello! It's me Hermione. You know your best friend!"

"Oh! Wow you look… well…umm…different. I mean it's a good different but still. Wow!" Harry looked Hermione up and down, his eyes were nearly popping out of his head. From his gaping mouth, he was obviously impressed.

"So how did you do the changing of the face thing? Cause it's totally obvious that is not a mask!" Ginny inquired curiously.

"Oh I used the Aliehs spell. Remember, Harry, McGonagall taught us it to us?"

He was still staring at her. "Hello Harry you there?"

"Umm... yeah! But I didn't think it would work! I thought it only worked in class!"

"Well it does-," she was interrupted by Seamus.

"Umm… hi I dunno know if you me but my name is..is..is Se..Seamus and I w-w-was wondering if you-you wanna dance?" You could tell he was nervous.

"Seamus, dipshit, it's me, Hermione! Yeah, sure I would love to dance!"

"O-..Ok!" He seemed slightly more relaxed.

They walked onto the floor and began to dance. The band, Letters to Cleo(I got that from Then Things I Hate About You), was playing great music. They dance for a while, but when they got tired of dancing they walked back to the table to get something to drink. While they were resting, Hermione was asked was asked to dance, this happened repeatedly. She really didn't get much of a chance to rest.

All the while she could feet as though she were being watched. Every now and then she looked over her shoulder to see if anyone was staring at her. Even though she couldn't find an observer, the creepy feeling remained.

Someone was watching her.

Across the hall, Malfoy stood against the wall, staring at a particular person. He didn't know who he was staring at actually, but he noticed some familuraity in her actions. Without thinking, he walked strait over to her and pushed who ever she was dancing with out of the way. She stopped dancing.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?" She was infuriated. What right did Draco Malfoy have to interrupt her from having a good time?

"Tell me who you are! I know there is something familiar about you but-," he was cut off. Dumbledore stood and cleared his throat.

"As I told you in the beginning of the year I will announce the prefects tonight! Also I will remind you that there will be only one prefect per house due to some bad record keeping. Now the moment you have all been waiting for (A\N: I forgot to say this but this fic takes place during their 6th year!)! Ravenclaw your prefect is Lisa Turpin(yes she's an actual character!)! Hufflepuff you prefect is Justin Finch-Fletchley! Slytherin your prefect is Draco Malfoy! Gryffindor your prefect is Hermione Granger! Congradulations and I ask that all of come to the front of the room where you are to meet Professor McGonagall."

Dumbledore seated himself once more, and Malfoy started walking until he heard the girl he had just been talking to mutter something. When he turned back to see what she had said he was staring at none other than Hermione. His mouth dropped and he managed a strangled, "Mudblood?"

"I do have a name you know," and with that, she walked right past him.

"Wait a minute! Your body features never changed!"

"That's because they're mine! The spell only changes facial features! Now you better hurry up or McGonagall will have a fit!"

She started to walk but Draco continued to just stare at her. Though, he couldn't see it, Hermione was blushing terribly. 'I can't believe he was looking at my body! Eww…that's so disgusting, well, if you think about it's kinda flattering. No, no it's not.'

Finally, she reached McGonagall, Lisa, and Justin. A few moments later, Malfoy was standing next to her.

"Now that you are all together I want to congratulate you on this honor. So, congratulations. Now follow me and we shall go to your new common room."

When they walked out Hermione waved goodbye to Harry and Ginny.

It didn't take long to get to the portrait. "Your password to get into the common room is 'Happily Ever After'." The picture opened to show a common room much like any other with the slight difference of all four house colors. There were four couches, one for each prefect, and each couch had a symbol for each house.

"Each of you has your own room, and each of you will create your own password. I leave you to yourselves."

Justin and Lisa went to their own rooms but Hermione stayed behind to look at the library. Malfoy and 'pretended' to be looking at the books from afar. Really he was staring at Hermione and was having some really scary thoughts. 'Wow she looks nic- no she does not! Snap out of it Draco!' Try as he might, he couldn't help it. Let's just say, he wasn't thinking with his head.

"Hermione?" He said it as if he was really sure of himself, but inside he was scared half to death.

"Yeah?" She didn't turn around so she didn't see him move closer to her.

"You looked really nice tonight," now he was right behind her.

She turned around slightly confused as to whether or not to be flattered. She was staring straight into his eyes. But then she turned to go into her dorm.

"I really did mean what I said Hermione."

"Thank you. Night Draco"

"G'Night"

A\N: What a lame ass ending! Hope you like R&R.
