Rain of Tears
Chapter 10
Sunrise Pearl
Draco hadn't gotten over his nightmares yet. Most of the time, Hermione would wake up to his screams. She would walk to his room and wake him and then remain with him until he fell asleep. Draco had told Hermione that his dreams weren't as dreadful when she was around.
Today was Christmas night and Hermione and Draco would be showing the whole school that they were united. Draco was dressed in a deep rich green colored dress robe with a black colored clock. "Hermione, hurry up. The ball opens up in five minutes," said Draco, checking his watch.
"I'm coming. I'm coming," she answered from inside the bathroom.
"You've been saying that for the past twenty minutes," said Draco.
"Alright, alright, two more minutes."
Two minutes later Hermione walked out of the bathroom, her hair was totally straight except for the ends, which had been curled. She was wearing a new dress robe, which was of a violet color with black high-healed shoes, which Draco had picked out and bought for her in Hogsmade.
"You look...wonderful...amazing," said Draco wide eyed and his mouth open.
"Thank you," said Hermione taking a small curtsy.
"Alright lets go show you off," said Draco offering his arm to Hermione.
When Hermione and Draco got to the Great Hall their was a long line of people and couples waiting to get in. They were both a bit confused at what was going on so Draco left Hermione and went to see what was the hold up. He came back a few minutes later.
"They're actually introducing the couples one at a time," said Draco a bit frustrated.
"Cool they never did that before," said Hermione.
"Ya, but we're going to get discovered and it won't be much of a shock to any one." And with that he pulled her to a dark corridor not far away from the Great Hall. "We can wait here until the line has passed." Hermione then sat on the floor while Draco watched the line. Every now and then he would call her to see what some people were wearing and to see who some of the couples were.
Finally Draco said, "The line is gone let's go." Hermione looked up at him and he helped her to her feet. He laced his fingers with hers and led her to the big oak door of the Great Hall.
There was a man completely bald at the door, dressed in a great suit that asked for their names. Draco turned to Hermione before answering to the man and asked her, "Are you ready?"
Hermione took a deep breath and said, "Yes."
Draco turned back to the man and gave both his and Hermione's name. The doorman opened the door and led them into the Great Hall. He then cleared his throat and said "Sonrus" and then the door man spoke, his voice echoing though the great hall. Already many people began to whisper that they had noticed the couple. "Mr. Malfoy and Miss. Granger" said the doorman and the people who hadn't noticed Hermione and Draco turned to see them.
Hermione saw Pansy's jaw drop once she saw them, and Ron's eyes narrow. People from every house turned their heads to get a glance of them as they walked through the crowd of people. Hermione noticed Draco smirk out of the corner of her eye. Everyone had been surprised just like they had wanted.
Hermione looked around the Great Hall it was decorated with red, green, and gold curtains. The tables had white tablecloth and mistletoe hung all around the great hall.
Draco led Hermione to one of the empty tables, and pulled a chair out for her to sit in. He watched as new couples entered the dance floor. After about five minutes of this he turned to Hermione and said, "Your prettier then all those girls." Hermione just smiled at him, she was dumb founded. He smiled back to her and then took her hand and led her to the dance floor.
Ron had been sitting a couple of tables behind Draco and Hermione's. Lavender was sitting in front of him but his eyes were on Hermione. Lavender obviously noticed this because she said, "Ron what are you looking at."
"No one, nothing." He corrected him self almost immediately. He gave her a fake smile.
"Come on let's dance." She pulled him out of his chair and onto the dance floor, leading him as far away from Draco and Hermione.
The Weird Sisters stopped playing and everyone clapped.
"And now" said one of the singers, "a slow song for all the couples out their."
Draco laced his fingers with Hermione and placed a hand on her waist bringing her closer to him. Hermione felt a bit uncomfortable at being so close to him but she rather liked it. He made her feel cared about.
As he danced Draco led Hermione out of the Great Hall. Hermione was a little confused. "Come on" he said, "I want to show you something." Draco led Hermione to the Hogwarts grounds and let out a whistle. Seconds later a blue and red colored carpet came hovering a few feet off the ground.
Draco began to pull Hermione towards it but Hermione let go of his hand. Draco turned to look at her. "Come on," he said.
But Hermione just shook her head. "I'm terrified of flying Draco," she said.
Draco walked back towards her taking her hand. "I promise nothings going to happen," he said as he pulled her towards the magic carpet. Draco climbed on to it but Hermione didn't move. "Trust me," he said. Hermione slowly got on to it sitting on her knees beside Draco. "Let's go," said Draco once Hermione was seated and the carpet shot up into the air.
"Draco not so fast! Not so fast!" She screamed as she held on to him for dear life. "Draco slow down, slow down!" She screamed again.
Finally, Draco stopped the carpet some feet above a cloud. Hermione was still holding on to his waist with her eyes closed. He turned to her and lifted her head up, which was now on his shoulder. "Hermione open your eyes," she shook her head, tightening her hold on Draco. "Hermione I promised nothing would happen. Open your eyes."
Hermione slowly opened her eyelids. "It's beautiful. You can see all the stars from here," she said as she let go of Draco. "Where did you get this?" She asked now looking at the flying carpet.
"My mother gave it to me on my 8th birthday. It's great for when you want to get away from the crazy world. It's a perfect way to see a sunrise," said Draco smiling at Hermione.
"You've seen a sunrise?" asked Hermione.
"Oh ya!" said Draco "Lot's of times and front row seat too" Hermione laughed.
"I would love to see a sunrise." Said Hermione as she lay down on the carpet.
"Well, why don't we?" said Draco.
"When? Asked Hermione looking up at Draco.
"This morning," said Draco.
"You mean stay up here all night to watch the sunrise in the morning?" Hermione questioned now sitting up on the carpet.
"Ya," said Draco.
"I don't know," said Hermione sounding a bit unsure.
"Come on it will be fun. Please?" Said Draco as he perked out his lower lip.
"Alright," said Hermione, as Draco placed a comforting arm on her shoulder.
"Hermione wake up," said Draco as he shook Hermione to get up. She had been rather tired at night so he told her she could go to sleep and he would wake her up in the morning.
She opened her eyelids. "Hey sleepy head." Said Draco. Hermione laughed as she sat up letting her feet dangle out of the carpet and pulling Draco's coat over her shoulders.
"Oh, it's so beautiful," she said once she looked out at the sky. "I wish I could grab it put it in a box and take it home as a souvenir."
"Well how about I give you something that will remind you of last night every time you see it," suggested Draco.
"That would be nice too," said Hermione not taking her eyes away from the sky.
"Well then I hope this helps you remember it," Hermione looked at Draco. He was holding a black box with a pear necklace with a diamond in the center of it.
"Oh Draco it'...it's beautiful!" Said Hermione as he placed it around her neck.
It's not as beautiful as you," said Draco and Hermione felt her self go red. " I had it specially made for you. Consider it a late Christmas present."
"Oh Draco, I love it!" and she placed a light kiss on his cheek.
AN: I hope you like this chapter I love it. I think it's so sweet what he gives her. Well I have to thank my best friend Nat how has been correcting all my chapter and how helped me decide to use the whole flying carpet scene, and for helping me decide what Draco should be wering And thank you to all that reviewed. Oh and some people wanted to know how long Ron was with Hermione in the first chapter they had been together for at least a whole year maybe longer, before they broke up ( I'm sorry Andrew I lied to you when I answered you I didn't really think it over)
