-The Day of the Dance-

Hermione had decided to go as a sort of an angel for the Ball. She pulled her hair into a half ponytail, and she atleast tried to make it look halfway decent. She was wearing a white, flowy dress, and a pair of wings that cost a fortune at Hogsmeade. Hopefully, it was worth it. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she cursed it and stalked off to the ball.

She had to admit, as she entered the Great Hall, that they had done a pretty great job of disguising it and making it look...beautiful. There was a giant fountain in the center that had a sort of waterfall effect all around it. Big hedges made a sort of a simple maze behind the fountain.

Feeling slightly scared, and nervous, she entered slowly, looking around for Ginny. She gasped, spotting Ginny, near Harry. Ginny had decided to dress up has a sort of a gypsy and she looked absolutely beautiful! Walking over there Hermione saw that Harry was staring intently at Ginny. Ginny spotted Hermione and hurried over.

"Hermione! I'd thought you'd never show. You look so great! Have I thanked you already for helping Harry along?"

"About a million times! You look beautiful. I see Harry must think so as well." Another song started up, as Harry walked over to them. Giving Hermione a nervous, "wish me luck" smile, he took Ginny's hand.

"I'll save you a dance, Hermione." And with that, he led Ginny to the dance floor.

Hermione looked around for Ron, but then decided he was in the maze somewhere, with a certain someone. She sighed and walked over to a darker side of the fountain, staring intently at it. She put her hand through the water, and drew it back in surprise. The water did not make her hand wet! She again put her hand through.

"Hmm, How interesting..." Suddenly, she saw a watery outline of a guy on the other side. Whoever it was, touched her hand, and she drew back.

Hermione was only faintly aware of the song ending as she studied the figure as they walked closer. 'Malfoy...?' She wondered. Right then Ginny came up behind her and grabbed her arm.

"Hermione! I've been looking for you everywhere!" Ginny started pulling on her arm, dragging her away from the fountain and towards the dance floor. Glancing over her shoulder, she saw him emerge from the other side.

* * * * * *

Draco was completely bored with the dance, and was only sticking around because he was Head Boy and he kind of had to stay. He found it soothing beneath the fountain, under the water. Glancing up he saw an outline of a girl on the other side, and then he saw a hand. Walking closer, he reached out and lightly touched it. He couldn't quite recognize the girl. As he was about to step through, he saw her hurry off.

Draco stepped through and glanced around frantically for the girl he had seen. Spotting her from behind, he followed, seeing her glancing behind her. They made eye contact. Granger. She took his breath away.

* * * * * *

Ginny stopped walking suddenly when they were in front of a very hot guy.

"Hermione meet..uh..." She turned to the guy.

"Oh uh Brett" He extended his hand towards Hermione, as Hermione lightly shook it, quickly looking behind her.

"Brett, was asking for you earlier, he wants to dance with you." Ginny gave Hermione a little shove from behind, and Hermione walked to the dance floor with Brett.

Brett danced very gracefully, and Hermione had to admit that she didn't exactly hate dancing with him, but she couldn't help but look for the person she saw under the fountain. She spotted Draco, not far off, staring at her, with an enchanted look in his eye.

As the song ended, Hermione gave Brett one last smile and walked off towards Draco. As Dumbledore stood to make a speech, Hermione figured this will be a long one.

* * * * * *

Draco slowly walked up behind Hermione, and grabbed her hand. She looked back behind her, startled, but went with him when he pulled her away from the crowd. She noticed that he was dressed in knight's armor. He lifted her hand and brought it to his lips, and kissed it softly. She withdrew her and stared at him. He pulled her in and then kissed her lips.

"Have my lips the sin that they have took." Hermione stood breathless.

"O trespass sweetly urged!...Give me my sin again." He again kisses her, and draws back. He took her hand and led her into the maze.They stop and once again kiss.

"Hermione! Oh dear, Hermione is going to miss the Head Boy and Head Girl dance." Ginny frantically looked around, entering the maze. "Hermione!" Hermione draws back from the kiss and stared in the direction of the voice. She took Draco's hand and led him out of the maze. The lights were now dimming.

They were now in the middle of the floor, all eyes on them, and they begun to dance. He drew her in once close. She felt his breath on the back of her neck. * * * * * *

Ginny watched from Harry's side, once or twice glancing up at him to see him just as confused. When the song ended, the dance ended. Hermione and Draco stood there, seeming frozen in time, staring at each other. Ginny hurried up to them, taking Hermione's arm and pulling her back.

"Hermione, the dance is almost over. Let us go!" She pulled Hermione out the door, before the rest of the school poured out. Hermione lost sight of Draco shortly after. Ginny abruptly stopped walking.

"What the bloody hell are you thinking? Malfoy, a Slytherine?! The son of the follower of Voldemort?!"

Tears welled up in her eyes. "My only love sprung from my only hate!"

"Come let us leave, 'fore the rest are coming."
