An: The idea for a masquerade was not my idea. It is the idea of another
member on this site. The story was so good I decided to make something like
it with their permission of course. Any way on with the story. It won't
start at the masquerade yet. I'll label the chapter The Masquerade Ball
when it's up kk. Should be about the 2nd or 3rd chapter. Rating will appear
in later chapters
"Oh Ginny I'm so nervous" Hermione said as she slipped her dress over her head.
"Don't worry about it Hermione. You haven't seen Harry for 4 years. He might be there or he might not" Ginny said helping her with the dress.
"Well he's at war so he probably won't be there and neither will Ron so.... Wait why am I going if they're not going to be there" Hermione asked.
"Because you want to see everybody else and Draco will be there remember" Ginny said rubbing her stomach fondly. She and Draco got married 2 years ago and now Ginny was expecting a baby girl. She tied the scarlet velvet ribbon behind her and straitened the bow so it didn't sag.
She pulled her hair out of the messy ponytail and Ginny helped her straiten it. When it was straitened and not curled as it had lost its bushy, wavy look in 7th year it hung almost to her butt. She found her hair clip and took small sections from around her face to the back of her head. She wound them around a little and slipped the comb clip into the small bun like piece. They proceeded to curl small parts lightly until it was perfect.
There was to be a ball held for the any 7th year who graduated 4 years ago. That was Hermione. When she was all ready Ginny helped her into her long cloak that matched her dress and kissed Ginny on the cheek.
"Thank you for helping me" she said and disapparated. It was wintertime so it was cold weather you were apparating or not. When she appeared on the walk that led up to the ballroom and hurried in. Her heals clicking against the cement. At the door a coat man was waiting to take every ones cloaks. She slid hers off and handed it to him as he disappeared into the coatroom. She went into the ballroom.
She soon found some of her old friends. Lavender, Parvati, Padma, and some other huddles together like Angelina, and Katie. Angelina and Katie were expecting twins each as they had married Fred and George a few years ago and were waiting for their 1st children. Lavender was holding her stomach as if she would be sick.
She had just found out that she too was pregnant. She had married Dean. Padma had become a nun and Parvati had surprisingly married Neville. Luna was soon spotted through the crowd though she wasn't in their year. She was there with her father helping to report. Hermione searched the crowd frantically looking for Harry.
"He's not there" Luna said coming up next to her.
"Well there goes hoping," she said sadly.
"Ron's not here either" Luna said.
"I know" Hermione said sadly again.
"Hermione" was shouted over everybody's head. She looked around for who had shouted. It was Draco.
"Oh hi Draco" she said.
"Since Ginny couldn't come do you want to dance" he asked holding out his hand.
"Well I may as well do something" she said and took it. He had treated her like a little sister since he had joined the order and had become very protective of her like Ron and Harry. He led her onto the dance floor as a slow yet good song came on. He took her hand and put 1 around her waist. She took his hand and put held some of her shirts with the other. Most of the girls dresses were had fairly large skirts.
They danced almost the whole night. Since Draco didn't want Hermione living by herself she lived with him and Ginny in their mansion. They apparated home and she said good night to both of them. She untied the bow and pulled the clip out of her hair after taking a quick picture. She unzipped the dress and hung it up in her walk in closet. She found a white night gown hanging up and slipped into it. She hurried to bed and got under the covers. She magically lit a fire in the fireplace and began to read until she fell asleep. Ginny came in and tucked her in after she fell asleep.
She took the book and set it on the side table drawer. She went back to her own room and snuggled into Draco's arms to fall asleep. When Hermione woke up the next morning she went down to breakfast and took it up to her room. She turned on the t.v to the wizarding news.
"In resent news more death eaters have been killed or captured at the hands of these few people" the announcer said as a bunch of pictures appeared on the screen.
"Harry, Ron, Fred, George, Oliver, Neville, Dean, Seamus" she said naming the pictures of people on the screen before they went back to the announcer. She listened until the news turned into cartoons and turned it off. She got dressed in jeans and a sweater before going downstairs. Draco and Ginny were kissing.
"Get a room" she said as she went to the fridge to get a water bottle.
"We have one" Ginny said.
"Yeah see that's one of the reasons I didn't want to move in" Hermione said.
"Whatever" Draco said.
It was summer now and Hermione was wearing jean shorts and a tight tank that showed off her stomach. She was standing on the platform with her friends waiting for their husbands and boyfriends. Hermione had been going out with Harry before he left for the war but wasn't sure were they stood now as he hadn't owled her for 3 years. She watched as everyone hugged their loved ones and as they wept when they didn't come out. She waited for half and hour before...................
An: Oh the suspense I can't stand it. LOL just to leave you wanting more.
