Hermione's POV
A week had passed since their first day in school. The show was still at least three weeks away. Raven and Daniel tried to find ways to get Hermione and Draco together.
On a Saturday night, Hermione and Draco were practicing in the library. "M'lady, may I have this dance?" Draco bowed and took Hermione's hand.
Hermione put the back of her hand to her forehead and looked away as if she were about to swoon. "M'lord, I am quite fatigued from tonight's activities," she answered.
"Just one dance?" he pleaded.
Hermione gave in. "Only one. I suppose I could dance once more," she said, getting rather close to Draco.
They began to waltz, striking conversation.
"May I ask your name, M'lady?" he asked.
"You are a strange one. Why ask so many questions when women are not to speak?"
Draco smiled. "I believe women should be able to speak their mind," he said softly.
Hermione's eyes twinkled. "You may call me Demeter," she answered.
"Ah. beautiful name. So you were named after the goddess of love. Are you an immigrant?" he asked.
Hermione hesitated before speaking. "You could say that," she said carefully.
Draco smiled as they continued to dance.
"May I have the honor of kissing the most beautiful woman in this room?"
Hermione smirked. "May I have the honor of kissing the only polite man in this room?" she asked in return.
Draco chuckled. "I'll take that as a yes," he said. Draco leaned forward but did not kiss her. Raven stood in protest.
"Oh come on Draco! You're going to have to kiss her for the play! You'll have to make it believable!" Raven said.
Daniel nodded in agreement while Hermione tried not to laugh.
"Maybe you should practice?" Daniel suggested. Hermione giggled as Draco blushed in embarrassment.
Raven sighed, "Oh yes, why don't you invite everyone from your classes over? You can have a costume party. A masquerade? Perhaps? If someone needs an outfit they can contact us, we could help them out with costumes," Raven announced.
Draco looked up. "We're allowed to have a party?"
Daniel nodded. Draco whooped, and Hermione cheered out loud.

dracosgurl_chrissy: That's what I thought. I thought that the first couple chapters were boring! Heck! I've already started the sequel and I haven't even finished typing all this up! Hehehe! Troubled Waters is my all time favorite!
Meg: Wow, I guess Trouble Waters is really popular. Gee, hope I get a ton of reviews like all my favorite stories get! I also notice that my chapters are rather short. Oh well. They'll be longer in the sequel.
Autumn Malfoy: Oh thankies! Keep reading and reviewing!
Did you like the chapter? What will happen next? What will happen at the party? Will Draco and Hermione be each other's dates? Or will they ignore each other? And for the love of God! Why didn't Draco kiss Hermione?!?! Read and Review and check back tomorrow!
