Chapter 15: The Ball

"Now, I don't know if Harry told you two, but I am a Squib who was sent to Privet Drive to watch over him," Mrs. Figg said simply, "Because Voldemort has been in full power for two years, I had to watch over him very carefully."

"But why are you teaching us this year and not last year?" Ron asked.

"Hold on! I'm getting there," Mrs. Figg replied, "Dumbledore had an excellent teacher for you last year, but he was killed two weeks into school this year. Dumbledore asked me at the last minute and I accepted. He knew I had experience with these things. "I am not a fully fledged witch, so I can't do all the work by myself. I have Professor Snape glance over my marking, He knows a little more than myself," she appeared to be done, but it didn't seem like she could be. The three students stood staring at her for more information. Nothing else came.

"Is that all?" Harry asked in amazement.

"What do you mean, Harry, dear?"

"Look! I'm Head Girl and I deserve to know all the facts!" Hermione demanded.

"Well, I told you everything.at least of what I know." Mrs. Figg trailed off.

"So there could be more?" Ron questioned.

Mrs. Figg didn't say anything. She returned to her desk and started cleaning up for the day, "Sorry, you can go now."

The three friends left the classroom and headed to their common rooms, "Well, I'd better go to the Head common because the Gryffindor one is very noisy," Hermione stated.

"Okay, see you at dinner, Hermione!" Harry waved and walked to the Gryffindor common room with Ron. They started discussing Quidditch.

Hermione walked up to her portrait door and let herself in. She stumbled on the steps and landed on something warm. She didn't get up right away.

"As comfortable ad this may be, Granger, you're cutting off my circulation," the humorous voice of Malfoy said.

"Oh.I.I didn't mean to.I didn't.sorry," Hermione got up blushing.

"Granger, every time I see you, you're stumbling over words, tripping down steps and blushing. What's up?" Malfoy said in a comforting way. He seemed to be understandable.

Hermione couldn't tell him the truth, so she thought up something else, "Well, I suppose because you've been nice, I can tell you. You see, the new Defense teacher, Professor Figg, isn't exactly a witch."

"She'd a Mudblood?" Draco said, shocked.

"No!" Hermione responded, "She's a.a.a Squib."

"Oh.I see," Draco took this very calmly, obviously not expecting the truth. However, he had something to get off his chest, "Hermione, I have something to tell you," he stopped and thought for a moment, "IpassedMcGonagallinthehall andshe wantedtotalkaboutaHeadmeetingtodayat 4 pm." Draco said very quickly. Hermione didn't think that was what he was really going to tell her. Both of them knew very well that they were holding back secrets.

Hermione checked her watch and gasped, "Draco! It's 3:55! We'd better go, now!" Hermione grabbed his arm and hurried him through the portrait. They rushed to McGonagall's office and tapped on the door. The door opened by itself and McGonagall sat behind an oak desk.

"Oh good, you made it on time. This meeting will be very brief so don't bother sitting down," McGonagall said, "There is going to be a ball this Saturday and it will be for year 4 students and up. I expect you two to be there with partners, and wearing your dress robes. You will monitor the student's behavior and report anything mysterious to the Headmaster or myself. Is that Clear?"

"Yes," they recited.

"Oh, wait! Your partners must be understandable because you will not be with them for the whole time. You two will probably be doing many things together this year. You are dismissed," McGonagall finished.

Hermione and Draco exited her office and headed back to the common room.

"I won't have any trouble finding a partner," Draco stated while plopping himself on one of the couches.

"About that.I've been thinking." Hermione said shyly.

"About what?" Draco said suspiciously.

"The ball! You see, Harry and Ron won't ask me because we're best friends, so I was going to ask someone myself. The person I ask has to be understanding and I can only think of one person who will understand," Hemione started to blush again.

"Why are you telling me this? Tell the person you're going to ask," Draco responded slightly bewildered.

"God, Draco! I am telling this to the person I am going to ask!" Hermione yelled.

"Oh.well.I was actually thinking of asking.I too was.uumm." Draco stammered. It was his turn to blush.

"If you're going to say 'no', just say it!" Hermione ran up to her room and slammed the door shut.

"Who says I was saying 'no'?" Draco asked himself.
