Draco was feeling on top of the world! He had a good conversation with Granger. He sighed. If only more people talk to. Since his two "friends" Crabbe and Golye never had much of a vocabulary and agreed with whatever Draco tells them – Draco yearned for somebody to have a point, and their own mind. Like Hermione – she could argue her point whenever she felt like it, and wasn't afraid to show her opinion.

As he walked up to the common room he heard the familiar running up the stairs and turned around – to his horror saw Pansy Parkinsin.

"Hi Draky-poo!" Pansy cooed

Draco rolled his eyes, and sighed, "Hi Pansy"

Ever since the 4th year she wouldn't leave him alone – even when Draco made it very clear when he hexed her with the silencing spell. It didn't get through her thick skull – she just thought he was playing, and continued to follow him around.

*Draco gave the password "Black death" and walked through ignoring Pansy's babbling.

He continued to walk up to the boy dorms – which stopped Pansy immediately.

"Awww! C'mon draky! Aren't you going to invite me up for a little fun?" She asked with her sexiest voice, which sounded a lot like she wanted to go to the toilet.

Draco shuddered and answered curtly, "Get real Pansy" and walked up the stairs, listening to Pansy's whimpering.

The sun was just setting as he looked out the window – all he could think about was – Hermione Granger, Hermione, Hermione…

In the Gryffindor Common Room Hermione sat on one of the comfy seats while looking over her Transfiguration Homework. 

Laughing and fooling around Harry and Ron walked in carrying sweets and lollies they bought from Hogsmeade.

"Hey Hermione" Harry called to her cheerfully

"Oh hello you two" Hermione replied smiling

Ron sat down next to Hermione munching on a chocolate frog, "So, what *munch* have you *munch* been doing?

Looking at Ron laughing, "nothing much, went out to the lake, sat and talked. Oh by the way you've got chocolate smeared on you cheek"

Hermione giggled while Ron rubbed it off with his sleave.

Harry looked up at Hermione and asked, "soOoOoOoOo… Do you have anybody to go with to the ball?"

Hermione shrugged, turned slightly pink, "w-well I don't at the moment… but I do have someone on my mind"

"Really?" Ron asked – eyebrows lifted, hidden behind his fringe

"Yes, really" Hermione concluded, "So, have you finished all your homework yet?" Hermione asked them, trying to change the subject – unsuccessfully.

"Hey! Don't change the subject!" Harry accused! "You haven't told us who!"

 Hermione turned another shade of pink, and answered smartly, "well you never asked!" she stuck her tongue out.

And she laughed as she ran up to her dorm.

"Hey! You can't do that! You have to tell us!" Ron shouted.

Hermione shouted down, "No I don't!" and she laughed some more.

Harry gave Ron a puzzled look, "Who do you think it is?"

"I have no idea," Harry answered looking quite baffled himself.

[[AN: just 4 some info, I was about to stop the chapter here, but you guys wanted longer chapters so here I go!]]

Hermione sat on her bed putting all her homework into her bag.  Her weekend was coming to an end. She sighed and leaned back onto her pillow and thought about Draco.

During her pleasant thoughts the chatter of girls voices were heard and Parvati and Lavender walked through the door each of them carrying about 5 big shopping bags each. 

Parvati dropped the bags and heaved a sigh of relief as she sat down, "Phew! Shopping should be considered a sport you know! All this running around and trying on clothes is hard stuff!" She breathed, smiling

"You said it!" Lavender agreed sitting on her bed.

"Thank goodness I didn't go! Look at you two! You're both worn out!" Hermione exclaimed

Parvati and Lavender laughed.

"But it's great Hermione! You should she the FABULOUS dress I got you for the dance! It's absolutely GOURGEOUS!" squealed Parvati.

"But, it might not fit me! And I can't pay you back, and you have to return it! I might not like it…"

"Oh stop being a spoil sport! It will fit you fine! You don't need to pay us back! And you're not going to return it because you'll love it!" Lavender said this in a-matter-of-fact way.

Hermione looked at them uncertainly, "if you say so… can I see it?"

Parvati beamed and nodded.

She pulled a light blue box out of one of her many bags and placed it on Hermione's bed.

Hermione edged to it slowly and opened the box.

She gasped. It was the most beautiful dress she had ever seen.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
