YAY!! I have over 50 reviews!! THAT IS SO AWESOME!! Thanx guys! Heh heh, thanks for reviewing a lot Ally! Every 1 needs to go check out her stories! Her login is Skittles713!! Go look @ em! Thanx again Ally! Now, this is the chapter that is supposed to be really long, but. yes I know there is always a but. I am making the Halloween Ball the extra long chapter. Just 'cause. So you're gonna have to wait a little bit. Sorry! I think I'll have Draco be a bit meaner this chappie. Thanks for everyone's support! Anyway, I'm rambling onto the chapter.
Chapter Nine
After that Hogsmeade visit, time seemed to pass quickly for Hermione. Time passed by quickly. It was already October 15th. {a/n: yes, I know, very unreal but it's my fic so DEAL WITH IT! Heh heh. j/k. Just work with me, k?}. The Halloween Ball was to be announced at dinner that night.
Hermione sighed as she trudged through her classes that day. 'I am so tired and I just can't figure out why. Maybe I just went to bed too late last night. yes. that must be it.' Hermione thought although she was aware she went to sleep at the same time she normally does and never had a problem before. She lifted her head for the fifth time when the class was finally over. She gathered her books and headed to her next class, Herbology.
Ron's POV {a/n: I told ya I was going to get other character's involved so.}
I watched Hermione as she lifted her head for. must be the fourth time. It's not really in her personality to fall asleep during class. I wonder what her problem is. Oh well. Dumbledore is supposed to announce the Halloween Ball or whatever tonight {a/n: member, Ron's a prefect so he knows about it!}. I bet all the girls will be waiting in anticipation for a guy to ask them. this really sucks. Who am I going to ask? If I asked a Slytherin, people would think I was daft and out of my bloody mind. {a/n: in case you were wondering, daft is an English word meaning silly.}. I could ask Hermione, but that would make MALFOY, I really can't believe that guy. pissed. Perfect! That's exactly what I'll do!
Ron sat back, smirking {a/n: yes, I know unusual.} until the bell rang for class to end. After that, he gathered his things and walked out the door.
* (Later.)
Hermione could hear a distant voice calling her. She tried to ignore it, but it grew more insistent. Suddenly, she was being pushed off a cliff and fell far below. And then, she woke up. Hermione groaned. Ron was standing on the other side of the couch looking down at her. She realized she was on the floor.
"WazzamataRon?" she asked sleepily. Ron grinned at her.
"You're going to be late for dinner. Don't you remember that Dumbledore is making the announcement today? Come on, Hermione!" Ron said pulling her to her feet. Hermione let out a huge yawn and wandered sleepily upstairs. She looked over in the mirror and sighed at her reflection. Her hair was frizzy from sleeping on it. Hermione waved her wand and it was back to its normal straightness. She put on her robes and walked back into the common room.
Ron was waiting for her by the portrait. "Took ya long enough, 'Mione! Let's get going!" he said and exited through the portrait. Hermione followed soon after.
They walked into the Great Hall and sat at the Gryffindor Table. They ate their meal in silence until the plates cleared and Dumbledore stood at the head table with that common twinkle in his blue eyes. He cleared his throat and the whole hall turned to face him.
"Teachers and student. I have an announcement to make. As you all know, Halloween is just around the corner!" he said and the hall started applauding. He waited for the noise to disperse before he continued. "On the night of Halloween, there is to be a ball. The fourth years and above will be at the ball from 7:00 pm until midnight. Third year and below will stay from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm and will then be transferred to another room. You are not required to have a date, but it makes it a lot more interesting if you have one. There will be several wizarding catalogs that will have costumes in them for you to choose from. Just pay the appropriate money and it will be delivered before the night of the ball. That is all for now, and good night to you all." Dumbledore concluded sitting back down. The whole hall went to the exit at once and everyone was talking in excited whispers about the upcoming ball.
"What costume should I have? I was thinking maybe a fairy? Or maybe not. I also have to worry about makeup! This is going to be so exciting!" Lavender said excitedly to Parvati as they passed by Hermione. Hermione sighed again. Sure, the ball would be fun. but who would ask her? 'Draco probably will, after all, that will be the perfect opportunity to make Cho and Harry jealous. yes. that could go well.' she thought and stood to exit the hall.
(Next Day)
Hermione woke up bright and early and took a shower. It was a Saturday, but she still wanted to get to the library early to finish her potions essay. She came out of the shower and opened her trunk. She pulled out a pair of blue jeans and her favorite brown belt. She put on a light blue tie-dye type shirt that had the group name 'Pink Floyd' on the front and had lyrics to one of their songs on the back. She put some silver hoop earring on her ears. She put her hair up in a messy bun and slipped on some light blue flip-flops. She grabbed her books and headed out the portrait.
When she got to the library, Hermione headed to the back at the table she always used. She took out her quill and parchment and got to work. *
She read over her essay (which was supposed to be 3 ft of parchment but Hermione being the overachiever she is had it at 5 ft long) and rolled up the parchment. She packed her things up in her bag and headed for the door. She slammed the library door open and heard a loud crack and moaning. Hermione looked behind the door and sprawled on the ground holding his nose, was none other than Draco. Hermione was horrified.
"Oh, Draco! I'm so sorry! I didn't know anyone was out there!" Hermione said walking over to him. He stood and glared at her.
"You stupid filthy mudblood! You ruined my perfect nose!" he said angrily. Hermione could feel her eyes watering. Draco hadn't called her a mudblood or insulted her like that since they planned their 'scheme'. Draco, realizing what he had said, dropped his hand from his face. "Hermione." he said. She held up a hand.
"No, MALFOY, don't say a word." Hermione said and turned and walked briskly off, leaving Draco standing there, dumbfounded.
