A/N: AHHHH!! Chapter four already!! I feel really weird because I'm like
updating everyday. Does that mean I don't have a life? Ok, I'm ok.
It's the weekend, and I don't have anything to do so I've been writing lots
and lots of chapters. But, then again, I'm kinda scared to write in front
of my dad because then he'll want to read it, so I have to write either
when he's sleeping or at work. Ok, on with the story!
Disclaimer: Do you still think I own this? Puh-lease! Read the past chapters, and thank you very much for reminding me that I'm STILL not rich. You just ruined my day!!
Chapter 4
As Draco and Ron put their tokens into the machine, they heard giggles behind them Ron turned around and made a face at his sister and Hermione. Soon, Lavender and Harry came to see why the rest of their friends were crowded around this strange machine.
"Let's DDR!" The machine boasted loudly. Draco and Ron looked curiously at the machine, then chose their levels.
"I bet I'm at least standard!" Draco bragged. He moved his level up to standard while Ron put his to beginner. Draco cocked an eyebrow at him and smirked.
"What? I've never played this before, and unlike YOU, Malfoy, I don't think that I excel in everything."
"Whatever"
The game started, and Ron and Draco lumbered around clumsily. At one point, both of them fell off the raised platform. The other four burst into laughter at seeing Draco's usually pale face flushed red with embarrassment. After their three games were over, they two embarrassed boys walked off into the crowd of their friends.
"That was hysterical!" Hermione gasped, clutching her stomach and wiping at her eyes. "I mean, when you fell!" The four burst into a new fit of laughter.
"Oh yeah? If you're so good then why don't YOU try it?" Draco asked, fuming and flushed with embarrassment. "I'll pay for you and your partner's dinner if you do better than us."
"Fine, I'll take that challenge. But only if Lavender plays with me." Hermione looked at Lavender for support, who nodded and jumped onto the platform. Hermione placed herself at light and Lavender did the same. Surprisingly, the two girls were fairly good.
"Hmmm, it looks like we did MUCH better than Mr. Malfoy here." Lavender said innocently.
"Yes, it looks like we did, didn't we?" Hermione agreed, looking at Draco expectantly.
Draco sighed and said, "Yeah, yeah, whatever. When we go to dinner I'll pay for your meal. Man, how did they do that?" Draco turned to Ron with a questioning gaze.
"I dunno. Something about girls maybe?" Ron replied. "Oy! Harry! Ginny! Why don't you two give it a shot? Maybe if Ginny is good then it proves the fact that girls are better than boys at DDR?"
The two walked up to the platform confidently, set their levels to light, and played. Both of the teens were good, but Harry was a bit better than Ginny. As Harry got off the platform, Draco and Ron were gaping at him.
Ginny laughed and retorted, "Maybe it doesn't matter what gender you are. Maybe you two just suck ass! See, look at those two little boys. They're really good and they're only like twelve or thirteen. You two are so bad!" As she finished talking, Ginny patted both of their cheeks softly and walked away.
After recovering from the shock that Harry was good at playing DDR, everyone walked to The Bellmont to change their clothes then walked to The Sapphire to eat and dance. As Draco promised, he paid for Hermione and Lavender's food. But they had planned on this, so they ordered the most expensive thing on the menu and hardly ate any of it. Draco glared at them throughout the entire meal.
Later, the six of them got up and moved to the dance floor. First, Ginny, Hermione, and Lavender danced with each other to Simple Plan's "I'd Do Anything", then the whole group joined to dance to Weezer's "Keep Fishing" After more dancing, Hermione and Draco went to sit down.
Hermione watched as Ginny and Ron did a weird dance together, which required them to move their heads side to side while snapping their fingers. While Ron and Ginny were dancing together, Lavender and Harry were trying to copy the same dance that was going on in the big screen, which showed Britney Spears doing a complicated dance with some guy. They looked completely hilarious.
Soon, a slow song came on, and Harry grabbed Ginny by the hand and started to dance with her. Ron took Lavender in his arms and they rotated slowly on the spot. Hermione could see Ginny and Lavender's happy faces, and she felt a twang of jealousy. She heard someone clear their throat next to her and saw an extended hand. She followed the hand up to its owners face, and was surprised to see Draco Malfoy's face. His face showed a slight pink tinge to his usually pale cheeks, which was strange.
Hermione smiled at him and took his hand. They walked over to where their friends were and started to dance.
"I love this song." Hermione commented, "It's one of my favorites."
"What's it called?" Draco asked, looking into her eyes.
"All You Wanted, by Michelle Branch. It's beautiful, isn't it?"
Draco stayed quiet and listened to the lyrics. She was right, it was beautiful.
I didn't know that it was so cold And you needed someone to show you the way So I took your hand and we figured out That when the tide comes I'd take you away
If you want to I can save you I can take you away from here So lonely inside So busy out there And all you wanted Was somebody who cares
Draco took the time to talk to Hermione. During the dance, he seemed to know her much better than he did before. He wondered why he hadn't made the effort to actually get to know her ever since he joined the Light side.
I'm sinking slowly So hurry hold me Your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on Please can you tell me So I can finally see Where you go when you're gone
If you want to I can save you I can take you away from here So lonely inside So busy out there And all you wanted Was somebody who cares
As the song ended and he let go of Hermione, Draco felt different. He felt the need to hold Hermione in his arms again, but it was time for them to leave.
"Thank you for the dance, Draco. I really appreciated it." Hermione thanked Draco. He nodded his head, grabbed his coat, and left with the others. The girls were hanging in the back, whispering and giggling. As they reached The Bellmont, Draco, Ron, and Harry bid goodnight to the girls. Ron kissed Ginny on the cheek and hugged her. Everyone else just smiled and said goodnight to each other.
Draco lay on the couch trying to sort out his weird feelings. 'What was that about? Why did I want to hold Hermione again? Why did I ask her to dance?' He asked himself over and over again, then came to a conclusion. 'I pitied her, yes, that's why. As for wanting to hold her again, I was probably cold because she was so warm. Yes, that's why.' Draco told himself.
But somewhere, deep in his heart, he knew that that wasn't true at all.
A/N: YAY!!! Draco is feeling something for Hermione! Or is he? DUN DUN DUN!!!! 'Till next time, y'all! Oh yeah, I've decided to stop putting those tune in next time things, because sometimes I don't put in what I say is going to be in the next chapter. Is that ok with y'all? Ok, thanks for reading!
