A/N: Hey you guys! Now that I know where I'm going the chapters are going to be longer. Like the last one was good wasn't it??? I hope so, because it was so much fun to write! It feels so good to know what I'm doing too. It should also make it easier to read, it's not all going no where. I'm really tired of beating around the bush, so I think I will establish Draco and Hermione in this chapter, but I'm not sure. P/S: I had some formatting problems in my last chapter and I'm sorry for that, I don't know what's wrong with it. It might be because I change from a text file to a document but I'm not sure.

*MAD PROPS TO THE AUTHORS OF: Rains of Tears: your story is awesome! Long Lost Loves Child: Kivaidensgirl just posted a new story and it's really good so far you guys should go read it! Collision of Two Worlds: Another by KivaidensGirl it's awesomous! I know that's not a real word but I'm going to use it anyway. ***You should really read these stories!!!

"I love you too, Harry," and he held her until she fell asleep, but had to get back to his own dorms so he didn't seem suspicious to the other Gryffindor boys. She looked so peaceful sleeping there with just the dying light from the fire illumination her face.

She woke up the next morning feeling around her large bed for Harry, but he wasn't there. She grabbed her robes and head towards the bathroom to shower.

"Granger, next time you're fucking Potter can you put up a silencing charm!"

"I'm so sorry, I guess I was a bit distracted," she said with a blush.

"No need for details, trust me, I heard just about everything."

******************************************

~I can't believe I've been getting along with a mudblood. I mean, I have had to share dormitories with her for like four months. I, a Malfoy, talking nice with the girlfriend of Potter. What does she see in Potter anyway? He's such a fucking nerd, he gets fucking everything! Merlin, I want her.~

While he argued with himself, Hermione was having a blast watching the Gryffindors winning their quiditch match against Ravenclaw. Harry must have saw the snitch because he suddenly pulled his broom towards the grounds. Harry went to grab the snitch but he fell forty feet to the hard ground below him.

"Harry!" yelled Hermione as she ran to him.

"Ms. Granger, please give him his space, and let the teacher help him to Madam Promfey," said Madam Hooch.

As soon as Harry was settled in, and Madam Promfey permitted it, Hermione visited Harry. He was awake but he didn't say much when she kissed him on the forehead and sat down next to his bed.

"How long will he be in bed ridden?" asked Hermione, keeping her hopes high that he would be able to go to the Halloween ball tomorrow.

"Well, he has a pretty bad concussion so he'll have to stay in bed for a couple of days."

Harry knew what Hermione was thinking. He knew she really wanted to go to the ball, and he did too, but he would instead be stuck in a bed. He didn't want Hermione to skip it for him. "You should still go to the dance, Hermione. You got the best costume to go, so you should have fun. I'll be fine, I've spent enough time in here to get used to it."

"No, I want to be with you"

"Do you want me to be happy?" she nodded, "then go, hang out with Ron, you guys haven't had much time together, because your always with me. I think he's feeling a little jealous, it would be a great opportunity!"

"Okay, I'll go, but I'm coming here as soon as I can."

"Just as long as you have some fun!"

*******************************

She had spent all day with Harry, but now it was time to get into her costume for the dance. She was going as a faerie, Harry had picked her costume out. When she was all done getting dressed she looked in the mirror and she thought she looked good. Her dress was a light purple, and had a tight corset that hugged her so tightly she thought she might pass out, and the bottom belled out in layers of fabric. Her favorite part were her wings, they were glittery purple that matched her dress, and charmed to move as if they were lightly flapping. Her make up was light but beautiful. Soft lip gloss coated her full lips, and light violet powder was painted on her eyes.

***********************************

When Malfoy found out that Hermione would be attending the ball without Harry, he knew it was his chance to charm her. He had to be mysterious, so she would not know it was him. He thought hard about someone who looked good in a mask. He thought about wizards, but none of them were good enough. Then he thought about a muggle he heard about once. He quickly got the things he needed and went to work on his costume.

**************************************

Hermione met up with Ron at the Gryffindor common room, and his jaw dropped. Hermione walked up to him and closed it for him by pushing up on his bottom jaw.

"You look great, Mione," said Ron.

"Thank you, shall we go then"

"We shall," he said as they looped arms. They made their way down to the entrance to the great hall. When they entered all eyes turned towards Hermione.

"You look beautiful, Hermione," said Ginny.

"So do you, in your mermaid costume," said Hermione, thinking of Arial from The Little Mermaid.

"Hermione, would you like to dance?" asked Dean Thomas.

"Sure, if it's all right with you Ron," she said as she walked off with Dean when Ron nodded "yes." While she was dancing with Dean she saw a masked figure walk into the Hall. He was wearing a black mask a crossed his eyes. He was wearing a white shirt that had the first four buttons undone so that his chest was showing, and black leather pants that tied in the front instead of zippering. He looked so hot!

Everyone else must have noticed him too, because the whole room was quite then a rushing wave of whispers escaped from the Great Hall. He started to walk straight towards Hermione. When he reached her, the mysterious man grabbed her hand from Dean's and asked her for the next dance. Like what seemed on queue the song ended and a slow song was starting to be heard.

He grabbed her hand and slipped his other hand around her waist. They danced close and in perfect rhythm with the song. Hermione's thoughts of Harry started to drift from her mind as she danced more with this mysterious stranger. When the song ended he leaned down and whispered in her ear to follow him.

"Who are you?" she asked when they got outside.

"That is for me to know, mi'lady," he said as he put his finger under her chin pulling her face up towards his. Their faces got closer until her lips gently caressed his. He nibbled on her lip awaiting entry, and she granted. He slowly slipped his tongue into her mouth and slowly massaged her tongue with his.

"Oh Merlin, what am I doing?" she said when reality hit her, "I have to go," and she ran off toward where Harry was. ~What was I thinking? What am I going to do? What am I going to tell Harry?~

***************************

He thought about chasing her, but he knew she was going to Potter. ~I can believe it worked! I got a kiss from her. I mean, she did kiss me. Why do I want to kiss a mudblood? Especially, why do I want to kiss that mudblood?! Draco went to his dorm and got changed into sweats and a black muscle shirt and sat on the couch.

****************************

When Hermione reached Harry he was sleeping and she did not want to wake him, so she turned around and headed toward her room. When she got there Malfoy was sitting on the couch.

"How was the ball, Hermione?"

"Wonderful" she said. Even though she loved Harry very much, the kiss she shared with the masked man was amazing. She still could feel the adrenaline pumping through her from that kiss. She never felt that way with Harry.

"I'm a little tired, I'm going to go to bed," she said as she walked towards her room.

Right before she got to her door she heard Draco say, "Good night..Mi'lady."
