A/N Sorry! I am changing the story a lot! Well, from the real books. Like Hermione's dress. Please do not be mad! Review! No flames, they only cause an out of control fire! ~~!~~

Some time went bye, and the news of the tri-wizard tournament came and went. The three, or should I say four, were chosen. And the Yule ball was creeping up on every one. Draco was depressed, and was meaner to every one. Hermione noticed and decided to write back. It was very sweet of him to write to her, and she has been scared of what to do. But with her extraordinary brain, she came up with an idea.

Hermione went to her room and Wrote back to Draco. She was very giddy ever since she read his poem! She found it the sweetest thing in the world! She had chills for a while. She started her note. She wrote him:

Oh Draco! That is so cute! I do not know, I will talk to you Saturday, when every one is in Hogsmede. Meet me by the lake at two. All my love, Hermione

She ran to Harry.

"Harry! I need to use Hedwig! Right now!" She yelled.

Harry looked at her serenely for a moment and said "Mione, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, Harry, what is it?" She asked back

"Well, you know the Yule ball? Well, do you want to go with me?" He asked very nicely.

"Harry! I.I just do not know! No! I cannot! I am asking someone else!" She said flushed. She never thought Harry would ask her.

"Well, Jeez, Herm! If you dot want to go with me, do lie about someone else! Ron is going with Lavender if you were going to ask him! Bloody hell! Whom are you asking? That git Malfoy?" He said with a scowl.

"You, Mister boy-who-lived, you will see! Moreover, I bet you will be shocked! Now let me use Hedwig!" She yelled.

He allowed her to use Hedwig, and sulked to his room. "If she does take that arse Malfoy, I will kill him."

Hermione told Hedwig to deliver the note as soon as possible, and wanted her to make sure Draco wrote back. She only had to wait for a few minutes. Hedwig came soaring through and gave her a note. It was messy, as if he hurried it. It said:

Hermione, Ok, Saturday at two! I will not be late! See you there! I cannot wait! Draco

Hermione's Heart fluttered.

Thanks to Harry's invisibility cloak, and Marauders map, She, Parvati, and Lavender went out shopping for a new dress robe.

She had to pick between a powder blue one, and a dark silky green one. She looked good in both, but she decided to get the green one. She felt as if she was betraying her fellow Gryffindors, but she wanted to make sure Draco liked it. She did want to go with him!

They came back, and were not caught, well, Lavender ended up with another detention, but the other two made it safe.

Saturday came and Hermione woke up early, and went into the common room, to find Harry and Ron in there normal Quiddich talk. She sat down.

"So, you too going to Hogsmede today?" She asked innocently.

"Yeah, you are joining us aren't you?" Ron asked.

"No, I think I will stay and read." She replied.

"Oh Come on Herm! It will be more fun than books!" Harry pleaded.

They whined and pleaded for an hour, until she convinced them she was not going. She decided to go down and say goodbye to them. When they left, she ran back to her room, and changed and got cleaned up. At 1:50, she headed out to the lake. Draco was there sitting throwing bread at the squid. She giggled and walked up behind him.

"Draco." She Breathed.

He turned around and looked at her, a grin crossed his face.

"I thought you were being a bitch and wasn't going to come." He said with a snigger.

"Draco, I wouldn't do that! But, I came here for a reason. Draco, would you go to the ball with me?" She asked a little shaky.

"Me go to the ball? With you? Hermione." he began but she cut him off.

"What? Am I not good enough for you? Or are you taking Pansy the cow?" She asked crossly.

"No, Hermione, I was going to ask you that! I was too scared and did not know how to ask! Of course I will go with you!" He jumped up and ran to her. He grabbed her by the waist and hugged her for a minute. Then, he kissed her. A real kiss. Not out of lust. A pure kiss. Hermione melted in his arms. If only she knew, the two brown eyes looking at them would go and tell her brother as soon as she could.
