The most elegant creature was climbing the staircase. He knew that many people had gone downstairs without his noticing. He tried to figure out who this mystery woman (A/N: How cheesy is that?) was dressed as. His heart leapt when he saw the sapphire hanging from her slender neck. It was like the play was alive before the show. He knew this was real life for this woman's upper face was masked, much to his disadvantage. He could not recognize this woman. Draco (A/N: I will call him Alonzo 'til the party is over. The same goes for all the other charries!) walked over to the woman, bowed, and took her hand in his.
"M'lady, may I have this dance?" His French accent was perfect.
Hermione's POV
Hermione studied him. He looked familiar, but it couldn't be who she thought it was. One: The guy she thought he was couldn't speak with an accent and two: He barely had any gel in his hair.
She nearly swooned when she put the back of her hand to her forehead. "M'lord, I am quite fatigued from tonight's activities," she spoke with her once used French accent. Hermione had picked up on the accent when she had spent her vacation in France.
"Just one dance?" Alonzo pleaded. Demeter sighed and gave in.
"Only one. I supposed I could dance once more," she said while getting extremely close to her masked Alonzo so that she could feel his quick, hot breath.
They waltzed slowly. Alonzo had his left hand on her hip and he held Demeter's left hand so gently that it made Demeter smile inwardly. She placed her right on his shoulder, not acknowledging the two cats watching them from the shadows.
Draco's POV
"May I ask your name, M'Lady?" he asked softly. He was so awed by her beauty that he was afraid to touch her and speak to her at normal volume.
The woman laughed aristocratically. "You are a strange one," she paused for effect. "Why ask so many questions when women are not to speak?" she asked.
Alonzo smiled. "I believe women should be able to speak their mind," he replied in the same, soft tone.
The woman's eyes twinkled from within her mask. "You may call me Demeter," she answered.
"Ah, a beautiful name. So you were named after the goddess of love? (A/N: Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not up to date on my Greek gods!) Are you an immigrant?" he asked, obviously intrigued. His heart fluttered. He knew what was coming next. Alonzo watched her hesitate.
"You could say that," she said carefully.
Alonzo smiled. "May I have the honor of kissing the most beautiful woman I this room?"
Demeter smirked. "May I have the honor of kissing the only gentleman in this room?" she asked in return.
Draco chuckled. "I'll take that as a yes," he said. He leaned forward and kissed her one the lips. Demeter returned the kiss. They withdrew slowly and simply stared into each other's eyes having forgotten the dance.
Raven and Daniel's POV
Raven smiled. "They have no idea who the other is," she whispered to her husband.
"Our plan is working," he answered softly and planted a kiss on his lips.
Hermione's POV
They both stepped outside. Their only light source was the moon. Her sapphire truly was a Moonlit Sapphire.
"I have shared a kiss with a stranger. Could you kindly tell me your name?" Demeter asked. She knew very well who he was.
"Alonzo," he said softly.
"I would like to dance again," she whispered.
A fast song erupted from inside. "Do you know the tango?" he asked.
This struck Hermione. They had not been taught the tango, but he obviously knew it. Hermione sighed. "I'm sorry whoever you really are, but I don't know the tango," she said but kept her French accent.
The man chuckled. "I'll teach you," he said, still with his accent.
Draco's POV
Draco went behind her. "Now the most common movement for a woman makes is the dip. (A/N: I don't know what it's really called. I've never tangoed before. It just fits with the scene. Just don't yell at me for not knowing the name of the move.) This is when she is not dancing with her partner," he placed his hands on her hips. He could feel her tense. "All you do is swing your hip in a circle," he said and tried to help her move, but she was frozen. Draco chuckled. "Relax. I won't do anything that you don't want me to do," he said She immediately relaxed and allowed him to help her with the dip.
It wasn't long before they were doing the basic tango. They stopped when they heard Raven call for everyone to gather around. They went in and stood.
Daniel smiled. "I kindly ask you to remove your masks and reveal yourself," Daniel took off his mask, followed by Raven.
Draco took off his mask as the same time as the woman. Draco blinked feverishly at the girl who stood before him. "Her-Hermione?!?!" he asked, frightened of the answer.
The girl gaped at him. "Draco?!?!"
It was. He had spent the whole night, fantasizing about Hermione Granger.
