I do not Harry Potter or any of the other characters. I only own the plot.
I would like to say thank you to all the reviewers. Now on with the story.
Chapter 33
"And finally Harry and Ron found Draco and me in bed together." Hermione said softly, "Now neither Ron nor Draco will talk to me."
"Oh Hermione why didn't you tell me sooner" Ginny ask as she hugged her friend. " I would have tried to talk some sense into my stupid brother"
"It wouldn't do any good Ginny, Harry has been trying, And I tried to explain once Ron just yelled at me" Hermione said.
"Well he is an idiot what can you expect, But Hermione do you think that he would come around if he knew about you know your secret?" Ginny ask softly.
"I don't see why that would make any difference. I tried to explain to Draco to and he just looked through me." Hermione said even more softly.
"It's ok Mione they will come around." Ginny said her face suddenly turning into a bright smile. "Besides the fall ball is coming up, you can knock their socks off"
"Ginny I don't know if I want to go to the Fall Ball, now or not." Hermione said softly.
"But Hermione you have to go, it's a ball, and you're Head Girl." Ginny argued.
"I know that is what Dumbledoor said at the last Heads meeting." Hermione said a frown plastered on her face.
"You will be fine; you're a strong girl Hermione and trust me they will come around." Ginny said.
"Thanks Gin, but you better go I have some homework I need to finish up." Hermione said as she got off her bed to escort Ginny toward the door.
"Alright see you later." Ginny said as she left Hermione's room and went back to her own common room. ~~
It was the day of the Fall Ball and Draco was at a loss on what to do. Sure he loved Hermione, but he was still angry at her for telling him off in front of Weasley, and being a Malfoy he couldn't show up alone at the Dance. He groaned to himself. He would have to invite Pansy. Though there was a small plus to the whole situation Hermione would have to see him there with Pansy, and she would of course get jealous, and apologize and Draco would of course accept, and then they would get back together. So Draco quickly grabbed a quill and a piece of parchment and composed a short letter asking Pansy to the dance. "Done" Draco said to himself, as he rolled up and sealed the parchment. He then left his bedroom and walked passed Hermione who was sitting in the common room and headed to the owlery to mail his letter to Pansy. ~~
Hermione saw Draco rush past her and leave the common room. She felt as if another piece of her heart had shattered. "I do not want to be here when he comes back." Hermione said t herself as she let a tear slip from her eyes. She closed the book that she was reading and slowly made her way to her bedroom. Hermione sighed " your stronger than this Hermione" she muttered to herself.
"You know dear it's not good to talk to yourself or to refer to yourself in third person." Kay the mirror said.
"Maybe not but I am pretty much the only person talking to me at the moment, except for Ginny" Hermione said in a low voice.
"That head boy of yours will come around" Kay said.
"He probably already has another date for tonight." Hermione said.
"If he loves you he won't" Kay said.
"If he has another date" Hermione said tears gathering at her eyes. "Then I- I-I there will be nothing left of my heart." ~~
Ginny was coming out of the girls bathroom when she heard Pansy shrieking about Draco and the first thought that popped into her mind was that she had to warn Hermione. "She is going to be devastated." Ginny thought as she raced to the picture of Merlin and quickly whispered the password and tumbled into the common room. She scanned the room with her eyes and her heart stopped when she saw Malfoy. Rage boiled within her, but she refused to show any emotion to that idiotic ferret. " Where is Hermione" Ginny ask calmly.
"How should I know" Draco said a smirk on his face.
Ginny turned not giving him a reply and walked up the stairs to Hermione's room. Ginny knocked on the door and Hermione soon answered it. "Ginny" Hermione said with surprise.
"Hermione I have to tell you something important." Ginny said her voice low.
"Well go on" Hermione encouraged.
"Draco is going to the Dance with Parkinson." Ginny said her eyes searching Hermione's.
"What" Hermione said her voice barely a whisper.
"I'm sorry I heard her talking about it in the hallway I thought you should know before you saw them at the dance together." Ginny said.
Hermione felt the rest of her heart shatter, tears started to stream down her face, but she didn't wail or scream she just sat there void except for the river of tears. "Ginny you better go and get ready it is your big date with Harry." Hermione said expressionless.
"Hermione will you be okay." Ginny ask.
"Of course I will" Hermione said her voice small, as she forced a smile.
"Alright I will see you at the dance." Ginny said as she hugged Hermione.
"Ok" Hermione said softly.
Hermione got a quill and a piece of parchment, and quickly went to scribble a note as she felt the after effects of what Ginny had told her.
Mum,
I will be home as you ask for winter break. Don't worry I will
take a cab home.
Hermione
She quickly rolled up the parchment. "I will take this to be posted as soon as I stay the required time at the dance." Hermione said to herself. As she got out her light pink robe and quickly dressed and did two spells for her hair and makeup. She quickly left her bedroom and common room, in hopes to avoid Draco.
~~
Draco was sitting in the common room, his onyx robes bringing out his pale skin features when Hermione passed him and started out of the common room. "She didn't even look at me" Draco whispered, but he got a good look at her she was breathtaking. That I when he heard it.
"The ferret is in the common room." Hermione's voice rang clearly.
"So she did see me" Draco said to himself and smiled, "Wait she called me a ferret." His smile fell.
"Don't call Drakie names" Pansy screeched. "And what if I do" Hermione ask.
"I'll hex you till you wished you were dead." Pansy screamed again.
"There is nothing you can do to me that hasn't been already done short of killing me." Hermione said in a calm voice.
"I'll make sure every bone in your useless body is broken." Pansy said a smirk on her face.
Draco had heard enough so he quickly walked to where the two girls were facing each other " Come on Pansy lets go" he said without even looking at Hermione, but by doing so it forced him to see the bright orange dress robe Pansy was wearing.
"But the mudblood insulted you" Pansy whined.
Draco had to hold his temper in check. No one should be aloud to call her that. "I know" Draco said as he grabbed her arm and steered her toward the Great Hall.
"Well at least he didn't call me a mudblood" Hermione said laughing to herself as she slowly made her way to the great hall.
