Hermione awoke with a start the next mourning. She was going dress shopping with Anna and Maureen. She easily slid on a blinding lime green shirt and some capris. It was warm outside for it being around the time of Spring Break.

At the mall, she met up with Anna and Maureen at there new workplace, Cake- O-Rama. Maureen loved the idea because of her obsession with cake, so Anna decided to join too so she wouldn't be alone.

"Hi! Over here!" Maureen waved at Hermione with a cheesy red hat with a cake on top. They were both wearing short, red skirts and white-and-red- checkered shirts. "I got promoted to Cake Taster!" Maureen beamed with pride. That was a step up from Crumb Sweeper.

"Great!" Hermione was glad there would be no more odd crumb-droppings on her clothes.

"Yeah. It's great. So, we got these coupons for half off a full cake. We have some new flavors." Maureen handed Anna a menu and she read aloud.

"Zesty Zucchini, Amazing Apple, Beautiful Blueberry, Spicy Strawberry, and Excellent Eggplant." Anna cringed at the last cake.

"Erm. Just chocolate is fine with me." So Maureen quickly ran to the back, cake tassel bobbing as she walked. She iced the frozen dough and heated it up in the oven.

"Done!" Maureen presented them with steamy chocolate goodness.

"Hermione. Who's coming to the party?" Anna asked, curiously.

"Well. I stole a flyer from Draco's room. Lemme read it to you." Hermione picked up a neon yellow piece of paper and read aloud.

DRACOS SECRET PARTY NO PARENTS! NO RULES! NO BORINGNESS!

COME TO THE MALFOY MANOR AT 6 PM SATURDAY. WEAR SOMETHING GOOD. FOOD WILL BE PROVIDED

On the back, there was the cramped handwriting of Draco, probably a guest list.

1. ME 2. HERMIONE 3. NICK 4. MATT 5. DAVID 6. TRACE 7. TANNER 8. HARRY 9. RON 10. HENRY

The list was unfinished, so she stole Anna's cake-pen and wrote in the rest of the 10.

1. ANNA 2. MAUREEN 3. PANSY 4. TABITHA 5. VERONICA 6. CLAIRE 7. KERRIE 8. MARY 9. LOUISE 10. EMERALD

Hermione loved the name Emerald. She swore to herself one day, she would name her baby girl that. Just then, someone behind her tapped her shoulder.

"You've got something of mine, Granger." He smirked and held out his hand. His jock posse of Tanner and Nick stood behind him. Maureen, not realizing Tanner was behind her, joked with Anna,

"Tanner is sooo cute!" She giggled.

"I'm glad you think that way Maureen." Tanner laughed, and body-slammed triumphantly with Nick. Maureen turned pale white and laid down in her chocolate cake in terror.

"Hey, guys, us girls are going dress shopping." Anna said, hauling Maureen up from her cake. "See ya." Anna led them into Mariposa, a dress shop.

"Ooh! Hermione this'd look great on you!" Maureen pulled out a positively awful brown and orange dress from a discount rack.

"Erm. No." Hermione said flatly. "This is it!" Hermione pointed to the dress that was meant to be hers. It was made of a stretchy black materiel, with straps that X'd across her back. It came to about her mid-thighs she presumed. There was also a see-through layer on top, that had deep red roses on it.

"Hermione." Anna was awestruck.

"That dress was made for you!" Maureen and Anna said together. Hermione tried it on, and as she came out, modeling it for her pals, Draco walked by Mariposa, and saw her twirling in it.

"She's beautiful." Said Tanner, football in hand.

"Yeah." Nick gazed In awe.

"She is beautiful. For a Mud. Erm. Puddle." Draco had to admit, because it was true. If only she would wear make up once in awhile. Draco sighed, and went on.

Anna and Maureen picked out the same style dress. A halter-like one made of shiny fabric. Although Anna preferred lavender over Maureen's bright pink.

"That dress you bought was gorgeous!" Anna squealed, but Hermione sighed.

"For $200.00 you'd suppose it is." Hermione said.

"But it was worth every penny, Hermione!" Maureen happily skipped, delighted to be going to a party. "Party, Party, Party!" Maureen sung to herself, flinging the bag in the air, and then catching it.

"Totally." Anna said, delighted.

On the way home by public bus, Hermione felt groggy from all the shopping she'd accomplished. She quickly fell asleep. By the time Draco and Hermione were the only ones on the bus, the gravely road to Malfoy Manor finally came.

"Hermione." Draco lifted her up from her bench.

At the Manor, Draco laid her in her bed. She was so peaceful.

"Draco." She said.

"Yeah?"

"Draco."

"Ye." Draco was interrupted.

"DRACO!" Hermione screamed, and than awoke. "Oh my gosh, I just had the most horrible dream." But Hermione just saw the blur of Draco running out of his room. Hermione sighed, and popped open her laptop. She ran into an old site she made, titled,

HELP FOR THE CONFUSED INSTANT MESSAGE ME AT KiTtIeKaT134

Hermione laughed. What a childish thing to do. She decided to log into KiTtIeKaT134 for fun, to see if it was still working. Then, a box popped up.

Silverstreak7653: Hello. KiTtIeKaT134: hi who is this Silverstreak7653: I Am Who I Am. KiTtIeKaT134: k fine. what u want? Silverstreak7653: I Want Help. KiTtIeKaT134: I closed my business long ago. Silverstreak7653: Please, Please Help Me! I Need A Girl's Advice. KiTtIeKaT134: fine what is it Silverstreak7653: Okay. I Like This Girl. She Hates Me. How Can I Get Her To Change? KiTtIeKaT134: a common question. Easily answered. Give her flowers. Girls love flowers. Then, compliment her. Then, tell her you like her. That is usually followed by a kiss depending on how well u preformed preceding it. That's what I'd love to happen 2 me. Silverstreak7653: Thanks. You Don't Know How Much This Means To Me. KiTtIeKaT134: anytime. Silverstreak7653: Well. Bye Then. KiTtIeKaT134: cya ~ Silverstreak7653 has logged off ~ ~ KiTtIeKaT134 has logged off ~ Just then, the clicking of lamps went off in both Draco's and Hermione's room at the same time.

~*~ Jijokii here. Yeah, this would be the time to stop for a chapter break usually. So I will entertain you with my flying avocados. Okay. Maybe not. Bye.

~*~

The next day, party preparations were put into action. The day was Saturday, party day! They hung long, purple streamers from the walls, and ordered food for the empty tables. It was going great.

Ding Dong.

First Guest.

Ugh.

Hermione opened the door with a fake smile. Tanner, Nick, Henry, and Trace were there, along with all the other guests.

"Um. Hi." Hermione flung open the door, and the crowd rushed in. Her hair blew in the wind produced by the rushing of so many bodies at once. "Okay then." Hermione sighed. But then, as she entered the Malfoy ballroom, she saw her.

Her.

Gum-throwing girl.

Suddenly, a surge of defiance rushed through her.

"Maureen, I'll be needing that cake." An unwilling Maureen handed her the cake.

"Oh. GUM GIRL!!! MWA HA HA!" Bonnie laughed evilly.

Fling.

The surprised look on Bonnie's face will be etched into Mione's mind forever.

Bonnie was defeated.

Or so it seemed.

"POPULAR GIRLS!" Bonnie called upon them, "ATTACK!" And suddenly it was a fighting fury of hairspray, mascara wands, and perfume.

The boys, oblivious to their surroundings, were throwing pretend footballs to each other.

"Football rocks. I'd die without football." Tanner said, throwing the invisible inflated cow leather. Draco, joining in the fun, was not ready for what was about to happen.

Splat.

Gasp.

A Zesty Zucchini Cake mussed Draco's intricately gelled hair. Draco turned around slowly, facing the silent crowd. "Whoever did that." Draco took out a bottle of Herbal Essence Shampoo, "Will. DIE!!!" Draco went on a shampooing frenzy. Messing up girl's hair, and anyone who stood in his way.

As soon as the last guest left, the first thing Draco and Hermione did was rush to the showers. Hermione used a large dosage of Tropical Princess, to wash out the filth from her hair.

When she went down to the ballroom, Draco stood in the middle, waiting for her.

"It's a dance." He said, flicking his wand. Some slow music oozed through the sound system. "What we did a hour ago was through cake." He chuckled. Hermione edged toward him, embarrassed there was no one else there. "Embarrassed?" He laughed, "Who is here to see you? Maybe just that cake over there." Draco pointed to the uneaten Zesty Zucchini cake. Hermione laughed.

"I'd be honored." Hermione said sarcastically, and grabbed his hand as she stumbled. The moonlight flooded the dark ballroom. As they danced, Draco could feel her getting closer to his face. Closer. He could feel her eyelashes brushing up against him.

"DRAAACCOOO! WE'REEE HOOOMMMEEEEEEEEE!" Narcissa's voice boomed through the entryway.

Draco cursed under his breath. He didn't know his parents would be home. "Hermione! Hide in that closet!" He pushed Hermione in the nearest closet, and her screams were muffled, slightly.

~*~ WHAT WILL HAPPEN??? LOL! SORRY, I just wanted to cut it off there. Heh.

~hugs~ Jijokii ~*~
