Morning After and Shopping
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters only the storyline and any of the story that I borrowed I will give them credit in that chapter at the end or the disclaimers in the following chapters. Enjoy and be as honest as possible in reviews without being downright mean.
WARNING: Hermione and Draco are softer than usual for the next 3 chapters, all having to do with the Ball. They will return to relatively normal after however.
~*~*~*~Hermione's POV~*~*~*~
Hermione woke up in her bed the next morning. She didn't have the slightest clue about how she got there but she was glad that she was there. She had absolutely no recollection of what had happened the previous night. Then she glanced in the mirror, saw her red eyes and tear stained face and everything came rushing back to her.
Harry and Ron annoying her at dinner. Draco telling Ginny to bring them over after dinner. Ginny and the 'assholes' coming to the common room. Hermione yelling at them, venting all her built up anger. Her collapsing and Draco telling them to leave. Draco getting the others, while she got comfort from Ginny. Her pushing Ginny off and going into her fetal position, ready to kill whoever came near her. Her destroying some of the common room. Not trusting anyone near her and almost hurting Padma. Her showing a weakness and crying. Blaise comforting her telling her exactly what she needed to hear. The others comforting her until she fell asleep.
'Oh My God! I can't believe I did that. Well I guess they did totally deserve it' she thought to herself. ' Note to self: apologize to Padma for trying to hurt her and thank all of them for being true friends'.
She grabbed all her things and went to take a shower. When she was done with her shower and dressed, she was putting a spell on her face to hide that she was crying, she heard someone knocking.
"It's safe Draco" she called, knowing it was him. She smiled when she remembered the first time Draco had walked in her. He had yet to enter the bathroom without knocking, unless he knew where she was.
"Morning Mia, how are you?"
"Pretty good considering, but there's no way in hell that I'm sitting at the Gryffindor table this morning. I think I'll sit with Padma and Justin at the Ravenclaw table this morning (A/N: I know that Justin's Hufflepuff, but he sits with Padma for meals)."
"I don't blame you anyway. I think I'll come sit with you guys too. I know Ginny wont sit anywhere near the 'assholes' this morning either. She was major time pissed at them yesterday. I don't know if Blaise would though. Yes he does love you like a sister, but who knows. He's surprised me many times this year and I'm supposed to know everything about him."
"Well, I don't want him doing anything that could really hurt his reputation. Although the only ones that will care are the Slytherins and we don't seem to bug them. Oh well. I'll see you at breakfast, I'm going to get Ginny from Gryffindor."
"Are you sure you want to do that. I mean you don't want to run into THEM do you?"
"No but Ginny's meeting me right outside the portrait that connects to my room, so I shouldn't see them anyway."
"Ok, if you're sure. I'll see you in like 15minutes."
"See you then," Hermione said and walked out of the bathroom with a smile on her face.
'What would I ever do without him,' she thought as she made her way back to her room. 'He's become my pillar of strength and I think I might die if he's not around.'
"Limited days," she said to the portrait. She was glad to find Ginny already there when she stepped through the portrait.
"Morning Gin," she said with a smile.
"Morning Mia, how are you?" she asked with a smile but Hermione could see the worry in her eyes.
"Good, you know considering. But lets get out of here before." she stopped mid-sentence when the two people she wanted to see most came down the steps from the boys' dormitory. They both glanced up to see her and they headed her way.
"Hey," Ginny started, "I could've sworn we told you guys to go away and leave Mia alone!"
"You did, and we will right after we say this" Harry replied, his eyes glued to the ground.
"Mi-Hermione, we're so sorry, we never meant to make your life hell, but you could've just told us straight out what was wrong" Harry started.
"No POTTER I could've have. In order to do that I would have to trust you, and I haven't trusted you since the second day of school."
"Look, Hermione, we really are sorry but I know that there's no way to make it better. So Harry and I'll just leave you alone like you asked, and you can talk when you're ready. Good-bye Mia" Ron said, his voice cracking sounding like he was ready to cry.
""Your right, Weasley, there is no way to make it up. Good bye" she finished and spun on her heal, Ginny right beside her.
When they got to the Great Hall, Hermione and Ginny headed right for the Ravenclaw table, where Justin and Padma were already seated.
"Hey you two. How are you this morning Mia?" Justin questioned.
"Fine until about three minutes ago when the assholes decided that they had to ruin one more day in my life," she grumbled. Padma and Justin looked to Ginny for an explanation.
"Apparently, they didn't understand that each time they talk to her they make her a little more miserable. Anyway lets not talk about that. Hey, look," she said pointing over Justin's shoulder, "here comes Draco and.BLAISE? I never would've thought he would sit with us."
"Neither did I but I'm glad he is, maybe he can come up with something to make my day better," Hermione said a little bit brighter.
"Hey guys. Mia, you look sad again. What happened?" Draco asked his voice full of concern.
"I'll tell later I'd prefer not to live through it again. Lets just say it involved Potter and Weasley again."
"Ooook, so anybody have any idea what were doing today?" Draco asked, while grabbing an apple spice muffin off the plate in front of him.
"We're supposed to go to Hogsmeade, idiot. In case you forgot but we do have to finish planning for the ball and picking everything up" Blaise said while smacking Draco upside the head.
Draco glared at him. "Come on you guys, lets go like now so that we can get it over with. I don't want to spend anymore time with this loser than I have to" he said with an evil grin.
"Nice to know you love each other so much you two. I mean real friendly" Hermione said her old smirk returning.
"Draco she's not aloud to spend anymore time with you," Padma told him. "You're going to corrupt her!"
"Am not" Draco retorted sticking his tongue out at her.
"Real mature Draco. You have been promoted from the age of 17 to the age of 2" Hermione told him.
"Hey thanks Mia, I always wanted to be 2 again. It means I can be double annoying and not get in trouble!" a grin spreading across his face.
"Great going Mia, you just gave us all a reason to kill him!" Ginny pointed out.
"Hey, that wasn't nice Ginny!" Draco said, glaring at her.
"Lets go before they kill each other. I don't know about you three but I don't want to set up everything on my own tomorrow" Hermione told the other three.
"I totally agree Mia" Justin told her. With that the 6 stood up and walked out of the hall together. They didn't even notice that almost every eye was watching them. It wasn't everyday that you saw 6 people from different houses walking together.
They stopped at the Prefect common room first, than the Head so that they all had money and sweatshirts with them. Hermione grabbed her hoodie with the snake on it.
"I must say that's my favorite sweatshirt that you own" Blaise commented when she came down the stairs.
"I totally agree with Blaise" Draco said.
"I wonder why you like you two. It wouldn't have to do with the fact that your Slytherins would it? Or the fact the you have the same one Draco, which you are also wearing?"
"Nope, nothing like that at all Mia" Blaise said. Draco nodded and they both smirked.
"Don't do that you two, it looks creepy," Padma told them.
"Do what?" they both asked with angelic looks on their faces.
"Are you sure you aren't related?" Ginny asked.
"Yup, positive. I'd have to be evil to be related to that git," Blaise said earning a smack from Draco.
"I don't think I'm the evil one here," Draco told him.
"Stop it you two, lets go have some fun! I think that we could all use it today" Hermione told them.
"Yeah, I agree with Mia" Justin told them.
"Anyway, I still don't have anything to wear for tomorrow," Hermione said.
"Don't worry Mia, I don't think anyone of us has had time to shop for that kind of thing yet" Ginny assured her.
They talked all the way to Hogsmeade and when they were done with getting all the final touches on the decorations, food, music, etc. they decided to split to get their things for the ball.
"We'll meet you at the Three Broomsticks in about an hour okay?" Ginny told the guys.
"Ok" they agreed.
~*~*~In dress Shop~*~*~
"Oh my god! Mia this would look great on you!" Padma told her holding up a long red dress with some golden color threads imbedded in it.
(A/N: I know that is supposed to be dress robes but I think dresses are better for now)
"Padma, while yes its beautiful, do I need to remind you that A) I'm going with Draco so red is probably not smart, B) since when do I wear anything but black? and C) sorry but I'm not really big on Gryffindor colors at the moment" Hermione told her friends. "It would, however, look awesome on Ginny," she added.
"You know it would. Where is she?"
"Looking at the dresses over there," Hermione told her pointing over her shoulder. They took it over to her.
"Ginny, we found you the perfect dress" Padma told her excitedly.
"Oh my god! That's beautiful Padma! It wont fit though, its to long. Besides I'm going with Blaise, he wont look good with someone in red and he wont like it either."
"I don't care, this was made for you and we can fix the length with magic, ok? Now go and try it on!" Padma pushed her into the dressing room.
"Padma, this is so you" Hermione said pulling out a long purple spaghetti strap dress with a see through blue shall.
"Go try it on, while I look for mine" Hermione told the girl who was standing there with her mouth open.
'I can't believe that the girly girls found a dress faster than I did' she thought.
She'd been looking for the last half an hour but there was nothing in her style and color.
"Hey Mia, what do you think of them?" she heard Ginny say from behind her.
"You two look amazing," she told them and she meant it. Padma's dress was long, elegant and from fitting. The shall sat nicely on her shoulders and she seriously couldn't have looked much better if she tried. Ginny's dress while yes it was a bit long, it was absolutely stunning on her. The red toned her hair down a bit and the gold made her complexion shine. With a little make-up both would easily be the prettiest girls in Hogwarts.
They looked at each other and gave the compliments before telling Hermione that they would be out in a minute to help her.
She turned back to the racks and started looking at all the dresses. Then she came across the perfect one. It was in her opinion breath taking. It was grey, but when the light hit it at certain angles it glimmered silver. It was strapless and had a silvery shall with it.
(A/N: I'm bad a describing dresses as you've probably figured out, for I despise the things. Also, I know that dresses aren't Hermione's thing but there's still a little of that girly girl in her)
'Draco would love this' she found her self-thinking.
She was still standing admiring the dress when Ginny and Padma came up behind her and saw the dress she was holding.
"Hermione that would look brilliant on you!" Padma told her.
"Mia' go try it on," Ginny urged, while pushing her towards the dressing room.
Once in the dress she couldn't help but love it more. It was as if it was made for her. It fit every curve perfectly and flowed at the bottom.
"Hermione, that is totally you. Draco would love it!" Ginny told her when she came out to show them.
"He would, wouldn't he?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, now your getting it and that's final" Padma told her with a smile.
Hermione went in and changed. The girls went up and paid for their dresses than headed to the Three Broomsticks to meet the guys.
~*~*~*~Draco's POV~*~*~*~
~*~*~Earlier~*~*~
The guys all went into the robes shop and had their dress robes within 15minutes. Knowing that they still had at least 45minutes they decided to go to the Quidditch shop in town.
"You know, even though I despised her earlier this year, I don't think there's anyone I would rather take to the ball but Ginny" Blaise told them as they looked at the newest broom.
"I totally agree. Although Padma and I have been going out since the end of last year, I don't think there's anyone I would rather take but her," Justin said.
Draco appeared to be studying the broom really hard, so as not to say anything.
'What would I say' he thought, 'that I'm madly in love with her and would like nothing better than for Mia to feel the same way?'
Apparently the other two had noticed how quiet Draco was being throughout their conversation.
"Hey, Draco man? What are your views?" Blaise asked.
"Yeah, anyone who would rather take than Mia?" Justin said to him.
"Honestly, no. I wouldn't dream of taking another girl to the ball or any ball for that matter" Draco told them.
"Whoa man. Really?" Blaise asked his eyes wide.
"Yeah, I think I might love her."
"Whoa, now that's something I never thought I'd hear from Draco Malfoy. Are you totally serious?" Justin asked him.
"Yeah, I guess I am and I didn't think I knew how to feel it anyway. I've never felt it and its never really been givin' except for before my mom was put under the Imperius."
"Draco, does Mia know this? Like the part about you liking her?" Blaise inquired.
"Hell no. I don't want to risk putting anymore pressure on her; she doesn't need it right now." Draco told them as they headed out. "Hey, come on I need to get her a birthday present. Her birthdays on the first and I think she could use it."
"I know her birthdays on the first, Draco. We've known for a while. Ginny told us in September and we've had her gifts since 2 Hogsmeade trips ago" Justin told him.
"Well thanks for telling me you two. Well come on, lets go in here" he said, stopping outside of a jewellery shop.
"What are you looking for exactly?" Blaise inquired after about 20 minutes of looking. "We have to meet the girls in 15 minutes and the Three Broomsticks is on the other side of town"
"Oh, we have at least 20min-half an hour. The girls are DRESS shopping. Since when does that only take an hour?" Draco asked him without looking up from where he was examining some promise rings.
He moved down a little and saw something he quite liked. "Besides I think I found what I'm looking for.' He called the saleswomen over and made his purchase. The three emerged from the store, Draco with a big smile on his face, and made their way to meet the girls before going back to the school.
