As October rolled by, the leaves that were once green slowly turned yellow and orange. A chilling breeze greeted the students in the morning, and an eerie looking moon at night. The Halloween spirit soon dawned on everyone as they looked forward to the feast. A rumour spread around like wild fire that the feast might come with a dance. Kids of all ages asked the professors, but none would give them a proper answer. Each pair of ears strained to hear more information about the rumour, but no one heard any further.
Halloween drew more near and once again Hagrid started growing massive pumpkins in his garden. Before the day of Halloween, the pumpkins were cut and enchanted to scream when someone walks by.
Finally Halloween strolled by.
"I can't wait till the feast," Ron said.
"You must have a really boring life waiting for food all the time," Hermione pointed out.
Ron shrugged. They were on their way to the feast. Ron stopped walking and nervously glanced at the Great Hall.
"You know what? I'm not so hungry anymore!"
"Ron you idiot, it's just spiders," Hermione said.
"Just spiders? Remember my teddy bear? And in the second year, Aragog?" Ron stated.
Harry laughed, he remembered the large spiders that almost ate Ron and himself.
"Oh come on Ron, just forget about the spiders. Doesn't the feast smell good?" Harry urged.
"Besides, everyone is eating already in there, let's go," Hermione said.
In the end, Ron agreed to go in. They were astonished by how well the Great Hall was decorated this year. More than a hundred spiders scuttled along the walls, forming words, "Happy Halloween." Black and orange streams hung from the ceiling, and in each corner sat the pumpkins, grinning evilly. There were even dancing skeletons for their entertainment. Ron would glance at the spiders once in a while, but that did not stop him from having a good time. Draco walked over holding something behind his back.
"Oh Weasley, I've got a present for you!" Draco smirked.
"Go away Malfoy, I don't want it!" Ron snapped
Hermione rolled her eyes at the two boys, honestly! They still act as if they were 12.
"Malfoy, just go away," Hermione said.
"But I have to give Weasley my present," Draco smiled.
"Malfoy, go away before I go get Professor McGonagall," Harry warned.
"Okay if you say so," Draco drawled before throwing a black hairy box at Ron.
"AHH!" Ron yelled before rushing out of the Great Hall.
A black spider crawled away at the sudden yell of Ron's. The Slytherin's laughed and pointed at the Gryffindors.
"Stupid jerk," Hermione muttered.
The laughter died away as Dumbledore stood up.
"There was a rumour that there will be a Halloween dance I've heard," Dumbledore smiled. The Great Hall was silenced at once as everyone anticipated what was about to be announced. "And yes, there is one. May you all please get up from the tables."
Everyone did as they were told and at once, the tables disappeared leaving a lot of room to dance. A band stepped upon the stage and started to sing. Hermione decided to not dance but was dragged onto the dance floor by Harry and Ron. They atmosphere was full of excitement as students gathered together. As soon as a slow song came on though, people nervously glanced around. Lavender went up to Ron and asked him to dance, in which he stuttered a reply and stood very still until Lavender had to grab his hand in order to make a move. Feeling slightly left out, Hermione started to leave the dance. There was no point in staying anyway. When she turned around, Ginny had her arms around Harry's neck, slowly moving to the music. Hermione's heart sank and she turned around again, this time bumping into someone.
"Watch it!" Draco snapped, smoothing out his robes looking entirely disgruntled.
"Didn't you see you there," Hermione said surprised.
"Borrow Potter's glasses then," Draco muttered.
Hermione moved past him but was soon being followed. She stopped in her tracks.
"What do you want now?" Hermione said, feeling exasperated.
"Just wondering if you, if you for some reason would feel like dancing with me," Draco said rather quickly.
"Why would I want to do that?" Hermione asked, astounded he would ask her of all people to dance.
"Fine! Never mind, it was a stupid dare anyway. Don't you get the wrong ideas about me fancying you!" Draco snapped with a tinge of pinkness creeping upon his pale cheeks. "Or willingly want to actually dance with you."
Shooting a glare at her, he walked away leaving a very confused Hermione standing alone.
Does he like me? Hermione thought
What? Are you stupid? He just said he doesn't and he never will. Thank god for that! Hermione told herself and decided to turn in for the night.
A/N: HEHEHEHEHEH! FINALLY a little tiny intsy Hermione/Draco romance. Well.I don't think we should call that romance at all, but you know for sure that Draco wanted to dance with Hermione, and about the dare he said? That's not true, hehe! Just telling you so that things are clear, I didn't mention in this chapter that Draco actually wanted to dance with Hermione, not because of some stupid dare so yeah! DRACO AND HERMIONE x LoL hot Draco!
