It was the day of the ball, Friday. After her last class, which today happened to be Arithmacy, Hermiome went up to the dorms to get some sleep, then she would get ready for a night of pure fun and dancing.

After two hours of sleeping, her alarm went off. It was a muggle song she enjoyed alot,

He was a boy, She was a girl Can I make it anymore obvious?

He was a punk, She did ballet What more can I say?

He wanted her, She'd never tell Secretly she wanted him as well...

She woke with a start and flicked off her alarm. She got out of bed and rubbed her eyes. She went into the bathroom to take a shower. She washed her hair with a fruit scented shampoo then cream rinsed it with a vanilla scented rinse. She got out and screamed.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECK!!!!!"

Ron was standing at the counter and brushing his teeth. He grimaced and covered his eyes. Hermione clutched at ehr gold fluffy towel, wrapping it around her bare body.

"WHAT THE HELL RON!!!!" she screamed at him.

"Oh my god," he moaned. "I am so so sorry, Hermione. I didnt know anyone was in the shower. I swear I saw nothing," his face, which was still covered by his hands was going bright red. He quickly backed out of the bathroom, through the door that led to the boys drom and ran for his bed, almost slamming the door behind him. Hse walked upa nd locked the door.

"Whew..." she sighed. "Atleast he didn't see anything."

She dried off quickly, unlocked the door to the boys dorm and headed back for her dorm. She walked in and saw Ginny sitting on her bed.

"Waht are you going to wear, Ginny?" she asked as she headed for her closet to find a suitable dress.

"Oh, I don't know... probably my pink dress, the backless one with the crisscross straps in the front," she sighed. "I dont think he even likes me anymore."

"Of course he does! What ever made you think he didn't." Hermione turned to face her, completely shocked. She then turned back to her closet to find a nice formal muggle dress.

"He doesn't flirt anymore.. All he does is talk... among other things..." Ginny stooped there and went bright red. Hermione tunred to look at her, grinningly devilishly.

"OH GINNY!!!!! He KISSED you didn't he?!?!?!" Hermione cried excitedly.

"Yes he did," Ginny said, her face very red, she looked at the floor very hard. "I was sooo happy Hermione. It just happened... as we were sitting by the edge of the forest by the lake he took my hand. He told me that he loved me. He looked into my eyes and then he kissed me..."

"I wish I have been kissed..." Hermione said lustfully, her mind drifting to Draco. She found a dress that was perfect. It had a matching pair of platform muggle shoes to go with it.

"Ah! Found one!"

She went to ehr bed, pulled the curtains around it and changed into it. After a few minutes she came out.

"WOW!" Ginny said softly. "You look.. beautiful Hermmy!!!!"

Hermione had chosen a tight, light green silk dress. It had no straps, but it did have a slit up the left side to her high thigh. She had on a pair of two inch platforms that matched it perfectly. She walked over to her jewelry box and took out a pair of diamond earings that hung form her ears. She put on a beautiful necklace with a tiny gold broom on it. She put on a chain bracelet that had the independence sign on it.(A muggle clothing company)

She then walked to the mirror and put on some of her most expensive make up. She put on a little perfume that smelled like violets. She then used Murphy's Magical Hair Starightener on her hair. She put it up and a beautiful bun, with two curling tendrils framing her beautiful face. She looked completely stunning.

"Wow... is that really me?" she said staring at herself in the mirror. She suddenly realized she was no longer the young school girl anymore, she was a young woman.

"So who are you going with?" Ginny asked her.

"You'll see..." she didn't want to spoil the shocked look on every Gryffindors face when they saw she was going with Draco.

When it was ten minutes away form the start of the ball, Draco used the password, 'Starry Night', to open to portrait to the Gryfiindor common room. He was wearinf a silver silk shirt with a black sport coat and black slacks. He looked so sexy with his platnum hair spiked. His blue eyes sparkled as he saw Hermione descend the spiral staircase from her dorm.

"You... you look...words cannot explain," he searched for word to say what he felt in his heart. He couldn't find the words to explain her beauty.

She smiled at him and hugged him hello. As she did Harry, Ron and Ginny came out of the dorms.

"WHAT THE..." Ron and Harry said at the same time.

"Oh dear," Ginny siad in a soft voice.

Hermione smiled and waved at them before turning to Draco and saying,

"You look very handsome!!" she whispered in his ear as his arms wrapped around her slim figure.

"Thank you."

Ginny sqeacked at the sight of Draco and Hermione hugging in the middle of the common room. She ran back into her room and stayed there untill Hermione and Draco departed to go to the ball.

Hmmm, she wondered(ginny) wondered to herself, maybe deep down he really is a good person...
