Chapter 5: Shooting Stars
The next few weeks flew by quickly. Hermione and Draco still kept their relationship a secret. They had been sneaking in and out of classrooms, and monitoring the halls together. Hermione felt like she had known Draco her whole life. She felt even closer to him than to Harry and Ron. On this particular Friday evening, they were again monitoring the halls together. They saw no one. Dumbledore had made an announcement for all students to go to their common rooms and stay there, two hours earlier than usual. Hermione and Draco were still to monitor the corridors, though there were no professors, at all, not even Filch. This was extremely unusual because they usually came across at least one Professor. They assumed the professors were have a meeting of some sort. The corridors were eerily deserted.
"I wonder where every one is," said Hermione, thinking aloud, "We usually see at least Filch."
"Well, since there is no one around, why don't we take advantage of it?" said Malfoy with a wickedly charming smile.
They spent the next 20 minutes or so making out in an empty classroom.
----------------------------------------------
The next few days Hermione and Draco spent planning the Halloween feast, as it was at the end of the week. They had everything planned to a T, the music was set, the decorations chosen, and the food menu was given to the elves. Everything was going to be perfect.
The whole school was excited about the feast. This was to be the first year the feast would also be a dance. Although, it wasn't the kind you had to find a date for, and wear your best robes for or anything, that was saved for the Yule Ball in December. All anyone could talk about was how spectacular it was going to be. There was an unusual feeling about the school. Everyone was excited, but sensed something coming.
--------------------------------------------
On the day of the feast, both Hermione and Draco were aloud to miss afternoon classes, much to Hermione's dismay. They worked on the decorations, and making last minute changes to the music and menu. The tables were cleared, and smaller ones were place randomly around the room, leaving the center open for dancing. They were each able to seat six, and there was one set for two in front for the head boy and girl. Each was set with tall candles, and a bowl of candies in the center. Most students spent the time after classes in their rooms getting ready.
Draco was ready to leave to go downstairs a little earlier than Hermione, so he sat in the common room looking at a small black jewelry box. 'I can't wait to give this necklace to her later. She will love it. It will be the perfect ending to a perfect Halloween feast.' The necklace was a gold chain with a golden, dangling, diamond heart. He had bought this for her because tonight he was going to tell her that he loved her. He had known for quite some time now, but he wanted to tell her in a special way, not just randomly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione was up in her room making last minute changes to her hair and robe. She had bought a new robe for tonight on their last trip to Hogsmeade. Though this wasn't as formal of a party as the Yule Ball, she still wanted to look her best. She had a good feeling about tonight, though she wasn't sure why. She felt like something big was going to happen. Very good, but very big. It made her a little nervous, and she suddenly wondered if maybe she should have taken divitation after all.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hermione and Draco stood outside the doors of the great hall. Everyone was inside ready to begin the feast. As Dumbledore called their names, they walked in together, greeting the cheers and applause with smiles. As they sat down, Dumbledore called them all to attention, much as how he did on the first day of school. As they quieted down, he made a few minor announcements:
"Happy Halloween everyone! I would like to start off by thanking Hermione Granger, and Draco Malfoy for organizing this wonderful celebration for us tonight. Second, I'd like to remind you that your curfew has been extended, but there will still be consequences if you violate these curfews. So, without further ado, let's eat!" With these words, the elves came out of doors on each side of the hall carrying food of all kinds.
Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely. The hall was full of excited chatter. Everyone seemed to have the feeling that Hermione had had earlier, and still had. The feeling of something good, and big is going to happen, tonight. But, most people just assumed it was the atmosphere. The hall was covered in streamers of orange and black. The ceiling showed a cloudless night with a full moon, and hundreds of stars of all shapes and brightnesses. There were enchanted carved pumpkins and candles hovering just above the dance floor, giving it a romantic, yet relaxed feeling. The only thing that looked out of place were the teachers. They all had a nervous look about them. It was easy to tell that they all had the same feeling, though it had a different effect on them. Alas, no one paid any attention to them. They were all engrossed in their conversations, and as the music began playing, they found partners, and danced the first song, which happened to be a slow one.
Hermione and Draco stepped onto the dance floor and began to dance, closely, to the music. They were so involved in their dance that they did not even notice the rest of the hall staring at them. Mostly surprised looks, though some were smirking, and others, such as Harry, Ron and Pansy, looked so angry they could kill someone. Still others, namely the teachers, looked just plain scared.
------------------------------------
As the feast ended, Hermione and Draco were allowed to return to their common room at the same time as everyone else. The elves would clean up for them.
"I'd say that that was a complete and total success," commented Hermione as they approached the dove painting. For some reason, the painting had a strange effect on her. She felt oddly calm just looking at it, and felt peaceful when she touched it. It was as if some weird magic had overcome her, and she had trouble letting go of it, and breaking her gaze away.
"I know what will make it even better," said Draco, with a broad grin plastered across his face.
As they stepped into the common room, Hermione quickly forgot the strange feeling she had just felt, and allowed Draco to lead her to the chairs in front of the fireplace.
He reached in between the cushions of his chair and pulled out a small black jewelry box tied with a crimson ribbon and handed it to Hermione.
"What's this?" asked Hermione, pleasantly surprised.
"Open it and see," replied Draco
As she opened it, a smile spread across her face.
"It's beautiful!!" screeched Hermione as she threw her arms around him and kissed him, knocking him to the ground.
"Wait, I want to tell you something," said Draco, as he reluctantly pulled away from her. "Hermione, I love you. I've felt like this for some time now, but I didn't want to just throw it out there. I wanted this to be a moment you would never forget."
"Oh Draco Malfoy, I love you too!" said Hermione, again throwing her arms around him, and kissing him harder, and more passionately than ever before. She felt happier than ever before.
They kissed for some time just lying there, before the fireplace.
"Draco, can we go and finish this in your room?" said Hermione, excited, yet a bit surprised at her own words.
"Wait, do you mean what I think you mean?" asked Draco, just as excited, yet also surprised at her words.
"Yes," said Hermione simply.
Draco picked her up and carried her into his bed. He set her down on the bed and conjured a fire in the fireplace for some atmosphere, as well as some candles that were held suspended in mid air. He then opened the great big window. There was still a full moon outside and the stars seemed to be dancing even brighter in the sky.
As he returned to the bed, Hermione looked up at him with her huge, beautiful amber eyes. Draco reached down to push her straight hair away from her eyes. Her eyes were so captivating. He felt he could stare into them forever.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" asked Draco, unsure if he really wanted to hear the answer.
"I've never been so sure of anything in my life," was Hermione's reply, which Draco was more than pleased to hear.
As Draco gently tilted Hermione on her back, she began to kiss him. Softly at first, but that soon turned to hard, passion-filled kisses. He slowly unbuttoned her robe, and spread it apart, revealing her undergarments. She rolled him over so that she was on top and did the same to him, leaving him in his boxers, which she quickly pulled off. Draco rolled her back over onto her back. She helped him to unhook her bra, exposing both of her breasts. He took time kissing and nibbling on each. He then moved down her stomach, kissing and licking every inch of it. She moaned softly beneath him.
Hermione rubbed her hands up and down his chest, feeling every individual muscle. She then moved her hands to his hair, ruffling it up, and moving down his back. She then moved them back down his stomach, down to his manhood. She stroked it and heard him moan, and felt it grow harder.
----------------------------------------------------
As they laid in Draco's bed together, comfortably snuggled together, they witnessed the most peculiar and spectacular phenomenon. The whole sky appeared to be covered with falling stars. Neither had ever seen anything like it. The moon was full and bright, though the stars seemed to cover it a bit.
"It's beautiful," said Hermione.
"Now this is a perfect end to a perfect night," said Draco as he kissed her on the head.
They fell asleep nestled together under the covers in Draco's bed.
-------------------------------------------
