little Harry/Hermione to the story.

I won't put anything that long at the end again. I'll put up notices, SMALL chats about what's going on, and what MIGHT happen with Hermione and Draco. ^.^ This chapter's going to be long.

Chapter 16: the Halloween Ball!!!
Draco walked Hermione down to the main dungeon. They stood there for a moment. " I wish I knew that pool room was private.." Hermione sighed. " It's okay, we didn't know." Draco assured her. " Okay." She smiled. " Get a good nights sleep. We're gonna need it. Tomorrow we're gonna be staying up till four in the morning. I'll try and wake you up in the morning, okay? If I do, I'll be under my invisibility cloak. I don't think the Gryffindor girl's would like to wake up seeing me in there trying to wake you." Hermione smiled, " No they wouldn't. It's uh, eight o'clock now, so wake me up at seven in the morning. Or maybe later. I dunno, but it's going to take me a rough one or two hours to get ready." Draco shook his head, " How come girl's take an hour to get ready, when it only takes us guys about ten minutes?" " Because. Oh! Never mind! Night Draco." Hermione whispered then kissed him. " Night 'Mione." He said and she walked into the main dungeon. Draco turned and headed for the Slytherin common room.
Hermione walked over to her bed, grabbed a pair of pajamas, and went to change. When she came back, Lavender and Parvati were sitting on the bed beside hers. " Hi!" Hermione said cheerfully as she emerged from the changing room. " Hey, Hermione." Lavender giggled. " Hey!" Parvati laughed. " What?" Hermione asked, putting her hands on her hips. " Oh, nothing, we just heard a little rumor about you and Draco." " And we were about to ask if it was true." " Well, that depends. What's the rumor?" Hermione asked. " We heard that you and Draco-" " Were caught snogging in the teacher's private pool room!" Lavender and Parvati finished each other's sentence. ' I hate it when they do that!' Hermione thought as she sat down on her bed. He took a deep breath, " Yes, we were caught snogging in the teacher's private pool room." Lavender and Parvati burst out in laughter and Hermione blushed a hot pink. She suddenly found herself laughing with the two girls. After the laughter subsided, Hermione bid them good night and slipped under the covers. Soon, she was fast asleep. A not so peaceful sleep. Her mind was plagued with one dream.
~~*Hermione's Dream*~~
Draco's arm slipped around Hermione's waist...
Hermione smiled, but felt someone watching them as they danced in the spotlight...
" Draco." She whispered and laid her head on his chest..
"Hm?" Draco replied, twirling her around.
" I feel like someone is watching us." Hermione looked around, but everyone was watching them, after all, they WERE in the spotlight...
" So. I don't mind." Draco whispered, bringing her close again...
" Someone evil is watching." She whispered again.
" We'll deal with Pansy later." Draco replied..
" No, not Pansy.Someone more evil than her." Hermione whispered, feeling tears of fear come to her eyes...
" I'm scared," She whispered.
"It's okay, I'm here, 'Mione." Draco said..
Someone screamed and Hermione and Draco stopped dancing..
Someone was thrown into the food table.
" Where's the girl??!!!" They heard a voice yell...
" There she is!" Pansy emerged from the crowd, pointing at Hermione...
Draco arms were wrapped securely around her..
A figure with an oversized cloak appeared in front of Pansy..
" Mudblood." It whispered, and raised its wand..
Hermione's eyes widened...
"Crutio" Whispered the strange person, and a reddish blast blew from the end of his wand....
Hermione screamed and felt Draco's grip on her tighten....
~~*End Dream*~~
Hermione yelped and woke up. She panted as she ran into the bathroom. Her face was covered with cold sweat, and she was shaking. ' That dream was horrible!' She thought to herself, 'who was that person in the hood? And why was it looking for me?' She asked herself as she whipped her face. She slowly returned to her bed, and went back to sleep, needless to say she had more bad dreams that night.
Draco peered into the main dungeon. Some girl's were still asleep in bed. He put the cloak over himself and crept into the room. He slowly walked over to Hermione's bed. He smiled at her sleeping form and whispered, " Hermione. It's me, Draco." Hermione's eyes fluttered open at the sound of his name." Morning Draco." She whispered, " Sit down and be quite while I go and change, okay?" " kay." Draco whispered back as she got up, grabbed some clothes and went into the changing room. She came out minutes later in her Kimono top and short to match the red in it. Hermione smiled and walked out of the dungeon.
Draco appeared out of thin air. " Morning." Hermione said. " Good morning." Draco said, noticing that she was tense. " What's wrong?" He asked as they walked towards the great hall. " I- I had a dream.a bad dream." Hermione said in a small voice. " What was it about?" Draco asked, his concerned eyes watching her. " W-we were dancing in the spotlight at some dance. Then I felt someone watching us," Hermione said, " Well, that's good isn't it?" Draco asked. " No, it wasn't. Then I told you and you said that it was because we were in the spotlight, and then I told you that someone evil was watching. You just said we'd deal with Pansy later. Then someone got thrown into the food table, and someone said ' Where's the girl?' Then Pansy steps out of the crowd and points at me, saying 'There she is!' Then another person or something, in a oversized cloak appeared before Pansy and said to me, ' Hello Mudblood.' And then it used the Crutacious curse. And then I woke up!" Hermione felt tears come to her eyes and she let them fall. Draco took her in his arms and stroked her hair. " It's okay." Draco whispered. 'I hope she alright.' Draco thought. " I'll be fine Draco, don't worry, that dream just spooked me out." Hermione said smiling slightly at his concern. " Wha?! How did you." " You forgot that I can read minds." Hermione said as Draco took his arms off of her. " Oh yah." Draco followed Hermione into the Hall. The decorations were wonderful. The usual live bats, then the dancing skeletons in one corner of the hall. But this year, it was different. A live Vampire was standing in front of Professor Dumbledore, asking him questions. The Vampire was not a male, but a female. Hermione smiled brightly as the pumpkins floated everywhere and the black and orange candles floated around the hall.
Hermione and Draco spent the rest of the day with Harry and Ron at the Quidditch pitch. Draco and Harry practiced looking for the snitch, and Ron bewitched the quaffles to fly towards the goal posts so he could practice. And Hermione sat in the stands, watching them, thankful that they could get along. [A/N: I know that Harry gets a ban from Quidditch, a friend told me, but I'm not sure if that means that he can't play in the house team the year after. Most likely no. But hopefully yes.] They sated outside until four forty-five. They made their way back to the castle so they could ready for the ball. [A/N: ~he he~ FINALLY!!! Almost time for da ball! I soooooo can't wait to write it. * shivers* I just saw Final Destination 2. * shivers again* I really don't like that movie; just sitting at the computer makes me nervous!!!!!!!!!! 9_9 oh well, writing will make me feel better!] Hermione bid Harry and Ron goodbye and she and Draco made their way to the dungeon. They came to a stop at the main dungeon. " Okay, meet me to the right of the entrance to the Great Hall, okay? I'll be there in about two or three hours. Love you, bye!" Hermione said excitedly kissing Draco and bouncing into the dungeon. Draco smiled to himself and walked to the Slytherin common room.
Hermione bounced over to her bed, waving to Lavender and Parvati, who were giggling over what their costumes look like. " Hey! Say, 'Mione, what are you going as?" Lavender asked as Hermione reached under her bed. " You'll see!" Hermione said, smiling brightly at the two. " Now, what SHOULD I do with my hair?" Parvati asked Lavender and Hermione, bewitching her mirror to float in front of her face. " Maybe curly. OH! Or maybe strait!" Lavender suggested. Hermione smiled again at the two and walked into the bathroom, which was already over flowing with giggly and hyper Gryffindor girls. " Hermione!" " Ginny?" Hermione yelled over the crowd. " Over here!" Ginny tried to wave at her from in front of the mirror. " How are we supposed to get ready in this mess?" Hermione asked loudly so Ginny could hear over the other girls. " C'MON, WE COULD GO TO THE DUNGEON BATHROOM!" Ginny yelled as all the girls started to quiet down. Suddenly in a flash, the bathroom was empty except for Hermione, Ginny, Lavender and Parvati (who had just walked in), and two other girls who were second years. " Okay, NOW we can get ready." Ginny said, pulling out an eyelash curler. " Let's get started!" Lavender said, moving over towards Ginny and Hermione. " We have A LOT to do. I have to put on my make-up then do my hair, then help Parvati with her hair, then get dressed, then pick out what earrings to wear! Man this is going to take a while." Hermione giggled and took out her eye shadow. It was the same color green as her outfit. After she applied the right amount, she took out her silver glitter lip-gloss, and applied many coats of it. Then, she took out her mascara. It was hard to describe what color it was. It was a mix between black and brown. After she put that on her eyelashes, she put on her light pink blush. When she was done, she glanced at her watch. " Man!!! Six o'clock already?!! Okay. gotta go and dress!" Hermione told Ginny, Lavender, and Parvati. Then she walked back out to her bed, and pulled her costume out of its bag. She smiled at it, and then slowly walked into the changing room. She braced herself to find loads of girls waiting to change, but found only three people waiting on stales to change in. She waited for ten minutes until a stall was available for her. She walked in, and changed her clothes [A/N: I refuse to add any details of what she looks like without clothes! This is not hentai! (Hentai, is a Japanese word for cartoon sex, but I use it a another word for porn, don't ask, long story) So, if you're reading this to hope they get busy, forget it, they don't.] Her looked in her mirror and smiled at the image of her. Her wavy brown hair falling down her back and the look of green on her. " Now that that's done.." Hermione said to herself walking out of the changing room. She walked back into the bathroom, to find Lavender playing with Parvati's hair. Hermione walked over and pulled a chair up to the mirror. " Hey, 'Mi." Lavender started to say, but then looked at Hermione. " H-hermione?! Is that you?" Lavender asked, staring in unbelief. " Uh-huh, not if you don't mind, I only have thirty minutes to get my hair done." Hermione smiled and looked at her image in the mirror. She thought about her hairstyle. What would be the best hairstyle for a princess? ' Long, long, blonde hair.' Hermione thought instantly. ' But that won't work, maybe long curly brown.' Hermione, with a flick of her wand, made her hair grow out and go curly. Her hair went down to about the end of her skirt. (Or other words, her hair was as long as her skirt.) She smiled and put the headband on, seeing how the material looked against her brown hair. 'Perfect!' Hermione thought in her head.
Draco looked at his clock. Six o'clock. " Time to get ready." He said out loud, and then went into his bathroom. He took a quick shower and shaved his face. He pulled on his costume and smiled into the mirror. His prince costume fit okay, not tight and defiantly not too baggy. He let his hair fall in his eyes again and whipped his face off. When he walked out of his bathroom, he glanced at his clock. Six forty. 'Time to go.' He thought as he walked into the common room.
Alex sat on the couch, staring into the fire. She had been ready for over thirty minutes. She never took long getting ready; after all, she wasn't that feminine and only took a few minutes to get ready. She turned her head slightly as Draco came down the steps. " Hi." He said, and headed for the portrait hole. " Hey. Nice costume." Alex replied. " You, too." Draco smiled at her. She was going as a rock star. Her guitar and all. " Thanks." " Well, I gotta go. Meeting up with 'Mione in a couple of minutes, bye!" Draco called as he walked out of the common room.
Hermione leaned against the right side of the wall. She looked at her watch. Ten till seven. Then she saw Draco. " Hey." She whispered as he came up to her. His mouth was in a big 'O' shape and he was staring at Hermione in a place she would have slapped anybody, any day. But this was different, he was her boyfriend. He was allowed to goggle at her. " So," Draco said, putting on an english-man's accent, " Shall we shag now, or shall we shag later, Baby?" Hermione giggled and took his arm, " How about in a about two years?" She asked. " AWWWW! Come on! Now THAT'S not fair." He wined as they entered the hall. " So, I-" Hermione was cut off by the loud music that was blasting in the hall. " OH MY GOD." Draco said as he looked around. The great hall looked as though it had been transformed into one of those muggle late-night clubs. Hermione listened to the music for a moment. " Hold on, Draco, listen." She said.
What would you do?
If there's someone at home,
Crying all alone on the bedroom floor,
Cause he's hungry,
And the only way to feed him,
Is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money,
And his daddy's gone now.
Draco looked down at Hermione. " What about it?" "It's one of my favorites. It's sad though, I always ended up crying when I listened to it." Hermione said, smiling. " So, it's a muggle song?" Draco asked as they made their way over to the food table. " Uh-huh. I guess that most of these songs are going to be muggle songs." Hermione said, as a couple passed, dressed as an angel and a devil. " Oh, okay then." Draco said as he watched the hall fill up with more people. " You ready for this night?" Draco asked. " Yah, my cousin took me to a club for teens this summer. It was neat. We stayed until about five in the morning." Hermione said as she and Draco slowly made their way onto the dance floor as a new song came on. Hermione heard the beat. " Uh-oh." She said. " Wh-" Then the music began blasting.
[A/N: not sure to the lyrics of this song. Just gonna go with what I think.]
Now usually I don't do this, but uh, go ahead and break em down with a little preview of the remix,
Now I'm not trying to be rude,
But hey pretty girl I'm feelin you,
The way you do the things you do the things you do,
Reminds me when I was back in school,
That's why I'm all up in your grill,
Trying to get ya to a hotel,
You must be a football couch,
The way you got me playin the field,
So baby gimme that TOOT TOOT,
And gimme that BEEP BEEP,
Runnin her hands through my fro,
Bouncing off ninty-fo,
While they sayin on the radio,
This is the remix to ignition,
Hot-N-Fresh out the kitchen,
Mamma rollin that body,
Got every man in here wishin,
Sippin on coke and rum,
I'm like, so what I'm drunk,
It's the freakin weekend baby, I'm about to have me some fun!
Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce
C'mon,
Now it's like murder she wrote,
Once I get you out them clothes,
Privacy's on the door,
Still they can hear you screamin more,
Girl I'm feelin what you're feeling,
No more hope in and wishin,
I'm about to take my key and still it in the ignition,
So gimme that TOOT TOOT
And gimme that BEEP BEEP
Runnin her hands through my fro,
Bouncing off ninty-fo,
While they say on the radio,
This is the remix to ignition,
Hot-N-Fresh out the kitchen
Mamma rollin that body,
Got every man in here wishin,
Sippin on coke and rum,
I'm like so what, I'm drunk
It's the freakin weekend baby, bout to have me some fun.
Draco smiled as Hermione danced. ' So she can dance.' He thought. " Yes, of course I can dance!" Hermione retorted. " Stop doing that!" Draco said aloud. 'Stop doing what, baby?' Her voice floated into his head. ' Stop reading my mind. I'm afraid you'll find out something you shouldn't.' Draco thought knowing she could hear. ' Like what?' She thought back, as the song ended. ' I dunno, like what I'm planning on getting you for Christmas.' Draco thought, sliding his arms around her waist as the slow song started to play.
If you're not the one,
Then why does my soul feel glad, today?
If you're not the one, then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine,
Then why does your heart return to my call?
If you are not mine,
Would I have the strength to stand at all?
Never know what the future brings,
But I know that you're here with me now,
We'll make it through, and I hope you're the one I share my life with,
I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand,
If I'm not made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way to stay in your arms??
If I don't need you, then why am I crying, on my bed?
If I don't need you, then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me, then why does this distance name no lie,
If you're not for me, then why do I dream of you, as my wife?
I don't know why you're so far away, but I know that this much is true,
We'll make it through, and I hope you're the on e I share my life with,
And I wish that you could be the one I die with,
And I'm praying you're the one I build my home with,
I hope I'll love you all my life,
I don't wanna run away,
But I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for, then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way I could stay in your arms???
Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that you take my breath away,
And I breath you, into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today,
Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right,
And though hi can't be with you tonight. know that my heart is by your side,
I don't wanna run away,
But I can't take it, I don't understand!
If I'm not made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I could stay in your arms?????..
After the song was over, Hermione and Draco were in a deep kiss. 'I love you.' Draco thought. ' I love you too.' Hermione thought back, as they broke apart. This song was a faster one, and Hermione asked if they could sit it out. As Draco and Hermione walked over to the food table, none other than Pansy Parkinson waltzed up to Draco. " Hey Drakie!" She squealed in her high-pitched voice. " Go away, Parkinson." Draco said threatingly. " Oh, come on Drakie! Dance with me!" " Why the hell would I want to dance with a cow like you!?" Draco asked through clenched teeth. " Well, you like me, so that means you'll dance with me!" Pansy said, putting her hands on her hips. Draco forced a laugh, although it was bitter. " Parkinson, listen to me!!!!! I. Do. Not. Like. You. Got it? I. Hate. You. So. Much." Draco told her slowly so it would go through her head. " Uh, well I guess you don't wanna dance right now, I'll come back later." She said cheerfully as if he hadn't just said that he hated her. " Is she mentally ill?" Hermione asked, taking his arm. " Probably. Either that or she's just incredibly stupid." Draco said, as he picked up a slice of pizza. " Pizza, hm, good." He said after taking a bite. Hermione giggled. " What?" He asked puzzled. Hermione pointed behind him. Neville was standing there dropping slices of pizza everywhere. Draco helped him clean it up, the whole time, Neville's eyes were huge. He didn't believe that Draco Malfoy was helping him. As soon as Draco was down he turned back to Hermione. " That was sweet of you." She said, her lips playing a smile. " I know." Draco said matter-of-factly. Hermione giggled and elbowed him in the stomach. " OW! What was that for?" Draco asked. " Because you are trying to act like me!" Hermione stated. " Okay, okay. Just don't do that again, okay?" Draco pleaded. " Well.Okay! But you have to dance with me some more." She smiled wickedly and he pulled her back out on the dance floor. This song was a fast one.
Two trailer park girls go round me outside, round me outside, round me outside,
Two trailer park girls go round me outside, round me outside, round me outside,
Guess who's back, back again. Shady's back, tell a friend, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back.
I've created a monsta cause nobody wants to see Marshall no more,
They want Shady, I'm chopped liver
Well, this is what I'll give ya,
A little bit of a weed, mix with some hard liquor
Hermione laughed as Draco tried to dance to the rap music. " You just let me, do the dancing." She said and did her 'thang'.
Well the FCC won't let me be, or let me be me, so let see
Try to shut me down on MTV, but it feels so empty without me!
So come on dick, roll on the lips, fuck that come on the lips and suck on the tits,
And get ready, cause this shits about to get heavy,
I just said it on my lawsuit, FUCK YOU GOD DAMMIT!!!
Now this looks like a job for me, so everybody, just follow me cause we need a little, Controversy, cause it feels so empty without me!
" You think that they would edit it, wouldn't you?" Hermione asked as Draco watched her dance. " Yah, but no teachers are here." He said, Hermione took a moment and looked around. Sure enough, there were no teachers around. Anywhere. " Wow, wat time is it?" Hermione asked suddenly. " Its about twelve o'clock, 'Mione." Draco replied. " Really?! Damn, that late already." She said. The song ended, and a nice slow song came on. Draco held out his hand for Hermione, " Would you like to dance?" He asked politely. " Of course!" She said, took his hand and they went to the center of the dance floor. Everybody moved away from them, forming a circle around them, and suddenly the spotlight was shining down upon them. Draco's arm slipped around Hermione's waist. Hermione smiled, but felt someone watching them as they danced in the spotlight. " Draco." She whispered and laid her head on his chest. "Hm?" Draco replied, twirling her around. " I feel like someone is watching us." Hermione looked around, but everyone was watching them, after all, they WERE in the spotlight. " So. I don't mind." Draco whispered, bringing her close again. " Someone evil is watching." She whispered again. " We'll deal with Pansy later." Draco replied. " No, not Pansy.Someone more evil than her." Hermione whispered, feeling tears of fear come to her eyes. " I'm scared," She whispered. "It's okay, I'm here, 'Mione." Draco said. Someone screamed and Hermione and Draco stopped dancing. Someone was thrown into the food table. " Where's the girl??!!!" They heard a voice yell. " There she is!" Pansy emerged from the crowd, pointing at Hermione. Draco arms were wrapped securely around Hermione. A figure with an oversized cloak appeared in front of Pansy. " Mudblood." It whispered, and raised its wand. Hermione's eyes widened. "Crutio" Whispered the strange person, and a reddish blast blew from the end of his wand. Hermione screamed and felt Draco's grip on her tighten. She expected the worst, but weird enough, she didn't feel it. She looked up, and Saw the frightened faces of the students. She looked down at her feet, and there was Cho Chang. Dead. Hermione screamed even more. " What's going on here?!" Demanded Dumbledore's voice from the entrance of the hall. Then he caught sight of the hooded figure. The figure saw Dumbledore, panicked, and then vanished. Hermione screamed, her eyes still fixed on Cho's body, and ran from the hall.
Draco raced after Hermione, seeing her long hair and veil/headband flowing in the wind. She ran out into the lake. She kept running though, even though she was near the edge. Draco caught her just in time, he grabbed her by the waist, and pulled her away from the lake, the whole time her kicking and screaming. " Hermione." Draco whispered letting her cry into his costume. " S-she died for us." She whispered when her tears subsided a little bit. " I know, but we have to be thankful. Think about Harry, I know he has had a crush on her. And I also know that he has kissed her. But we have to go back inside soon, or You-Know-Who might find us." He said, trying to comfort her. " I know." She whispered again, and stood up, shivering. " You're cold, c'mon, lets go back." Draco told her as he put his arms around her in attempt to warm her up. They slowly made their way to the castle, and slowly reliezed, that if it weren't for Cho, they would have been dead.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Kind of a cliffie. Well, I couldn't think of whom to die. I was thinking first Ron. but then thought better of it. Than I thought Harry, and no b/c he's got a major part in either the next chapter or chapter after.

Chapter 16: the Halloween Ball!!!
Draco walked Hermione down to the main dungeon. They stood there for a moment. " I wish I knew that pool room was private.." Hermione sighed. " It's okay, we didn't know." Draco assured her. " Okay." She smiled. " Get a good nights sleep. We're gonna need it. Tomorrow we're gonna be staying up till four in the morning. I'll try and wake you up in the morning, okay? If I do, I'll be under my invisibility cloak. I don't think the Gryffindor girl's would like to wake up seeing me in there trying to wake you." Hermione smiled, " No they wouldn't. It's uh, eight o'clock now, so wake me up at seven in the morning. Or maybe later. I dunno, but it's going to take me a rough one or two hours to get ready." Draco shook his head, " How come girl's take an hour to get ready, when it only takes us guys about ten minutes?" " Because. Oh! Never mind! Night Draco." Hermione whispered then kissed him. " Night 'Mione." He said and she walked into the main dungeon. Draco turned and headed for the Slytherin common room.
Hermione walked over to her bed, grabbed a pair of pajamas, and went to change. When she came back, Lavender and Parvati were sitting on the bed beside hers. " Hi!" Hermione said cheerfully as she emerged from the changing room. " Hey, Hermione." Lavender giggled. " Hey!" Parvati laughed. " What?" Hermione asked, putting her hands on her hips. " Oh, nothing, we just heard a little rumor about you and Draco." " And we were about to ask if it was true." " Well, that depends. What's the rumor?" Hermione asked. " We heard that you and Draco-" " Were caught snogging in the teacher's private pool room!" Lavender and Parvati finished each other's sentence. ' I hate it when they do that!' Hermione thought as she sat down on her bed. He took a deep breath, " Yes, we were caught snogging in the teacher's private pool room." Lavender and Parvati burst out in laughter and Hermione blushed a hot pink. She suddenly found herself laughing with the two girls. After the laughter subsided, Hermione bid them good night and slipped under the covers. Soon, she was fast asleep. A not so peaceful sleep. Her mind was plagued with one dream.
~~*Hermione's Dream*~~
Draco's arm slipped around Hermione's waist...
Hermione smiled, but felt someone watching them as they danced in the spotlight...
" Draco." She whispered and laid her head on his chest..
"Hm?" Draco replied, twirling her around.
" I feel like someone is watching us." Hermione looked around, but everyone was watching them, after all, they WERE in the spotlight...
" So. I don't mind." Draco whispered, bringing her close again...
" Someone evil is watching." She whispered again.
" We'll deal with Pansy later." Draco replied..
" No, not Pansy.Someone more evil than her." Hermione whispered, feeling tears of fear come to her eyes...
" I'm scared," She whispered.
"It's okay, I'm here, 'Mione." Draco said..
Someone screamed and Hermione and Draco stopped dancing..
Someone was thrown into the food table.
" Where's the girl??!!!" They heard a voice yell...
" There she is!" Pansy emerged from the crowd, pointing at Hermione...
Draco arms were wrapped securely around her..
A figure with an oversized cloak appeared in front of Pansy..
" Mudblood." It whispered, and raised its wand..
Hermione's eyes widened...
"Crutio" Whispered the strange person, and a reddish blast blew from the end of his wand....
Hermione screamed and felt Draco's grip on her tighten....
~~*End Dream*~~
Hermione yelped and woke up. She panted as she ran into the bathroom. Her face was covered with cold sweat, and she was shaking. ' That dream was horrible!' She thought to herself, 'who was that person in the hood? And why was it looking for me?' She asked herself as she whipped her face. She slowly returned to her bed, and went back to sleep, needless to say she had more bad dreams that night.
Draco peered into the main dungeon. Some girl's were still asleep in bed. He put the cloak over himself and crept into the room. He slowly walked over to Hermione's bed. He smiled at her sleeping form and whispered, " Hermione. It's me, Draco." Hermione's eyes fluttered open at the sound of his name." Morning Draco." She whispered, " Sit down and be quite while I go and change, okay?" " kay." Draco whispered back as she got up, grabbed some clothes and went into the changing room. She came out minutes later in her Kimono top and short to match the red in it. Hermione smiled and walked out of the dungeon.
Draco appeared out of thin air. " Morning." Hermione said. " Good morning." Draco said, noticing that she was tense. " What's wrong?" He asked as they walked towards the great hall. " I- I had a dream.a bad dream." Hermione said in a small voice. " What was it about?" Draco asked, his concerned eyes watching her. " W-we were dancing in the spotlight at some dance. Then I felt someone watching us," Hermione said, " Well, that's good isn't it?" Draco asked. " No, it wasn't. Then I told you and you said that it was because we were in the spotlight, and then I told you that someone evil was watching. You just said we'd deal with Pansy later. Then someone got thrown into the food table, and someone said ' Where's the girl?' Then Pansy steps out of the crowd and points at me, saying 'There she is!' Then another person or something, in a oversized cloak appeared before Pansy and said to me, ' Hello Mudblood.' And then it used the Crutacious curse. And then I woke up!" Hermione felt tears come to her eyes and she let them fall. Draco took her in his arms and stroked her hair. " It's okay." Draco whispered. 'I hope she alright.' Draco thought. " I'll be fine Draco, don't worry, that dream just spooked me out." Hermione said smiling slightly at his concern. " Wha?! How did you." " You forgot that I can read minds." Hermione said as Draco took his arms off of her. " Oh yah." Draco followed Hermione into the Hall. The decorations were wonderful. The usual live bats, then the dancing skeletons in one corner of the hall. But this year, it was different. A live Vampire was standing in front of Professor Dumbledore, asking him questions. The Vampire was not a male, but a female. Hermione smiled brightly as the pumpkins floated everywhere and the black and orange candles floated around the hall.
Hermione and Draco spent the rest of the day with Harry and Ron at the Quidditch pitch. Draco and Harry practiced looking for the snitch, and Ron bewitched the quaffles to fly towards the goal posts so he could practice. And Hermione sat in the stands, watching them, thankful that they could get along. [A/N: I know that Harry gets a ban from Quidditch, a friend told me, but I'm not sure if that means that he can't play in the house team the year after. Most likely no. But hopefully yes.] They sated outside until four forty-five. They made their way back to the castle so they could ready for the ball. [A/N: ~he he~ FINALLY!!! Almost time for da ball! I soooooo can't wait to write it. * shivers* I just saw Final Destination 2. * shivers again* I really don't like that movie; just sitting at the computer makes me nervous!!!!!!!!!! 9_9 oh well, writing will make me feel better!] Hermione bid Harry and Ron goodbye and she and Draco made their way to the dungeon. They came to a stop at the main dungeon. " Okay, meet me to the right of the entrance to the Great Hall, okay? I'll be there in about two or three hours. Love you, bye!" Hermione said excitedly kissing Draco and bouncing into the dungeon. Draco smiled to himself and walked to the Slytherin common room.
Hermione bounced over to her bed, waving to Lavender and Parvati, who were giggling over what their costumes look like. " Hey! Say, 'Mione, what are you going as?" Lavender asked as Hermione reached under her bed. " You'll see!" Hermione said, smiling brightly at the two. " Now, what SHOULD I do with my hair?" Parvati asked Lavender and Hermione, bewitching her mirror to float in front of her face. " Maybe curly. OH! Or maybe strait!" Lavender suggested. Hermione smiled again at the two and walked into the bathroom, which was already over flowing with giggly and hyper Gryffindor girls. " Hermione!" " Ginny?" Hermione yelled over the crowd. " Over here!" Ginny tried to wave at her from in front of the mirror. " How are we supposed to get ready in this mess?" Hermione asked loudly so Ginny could hear over the other girls. " C'MON, WE COULD GO TO THE DUNGEON BATHROOM!" Ginny yelled as all the girls started to quiet down. Suddenly in a flash, the bathroom was empty except for Hermione, Ginny, Lavender and Parvati (who had just walked in), and two other girls who were second years. " Okay, NOW we can get ready." Ginny said, pulling out an eyelash curler. " Let's get started!" Lavender said, moving over towards Ginny and Hermione. " We have A LOT to do. I have to put on my make-up then do my hair, then help Parvati with her hair, then get dressed, then pick out what earrings to wear! Man this is going to take a while." Hermione giggled and took out her eye shadow. It was the same color green as her outfit. After she applied the right amount, she took out her silver glitter lip-gloss, and applied many coats of it. Then, she took out her mascara. It was hard to describe what color it was. It was a mix between black and brown. After she put that on her eyelashes, she put on her light pink blush. When she was done, she glanced at her watch. " Man!!! Six o'clock already?!! Okay. gotta go and dress!" Hermione told Ginny, Lavender, and Parvati. Then she walked back out to her bed, and pulled her costume out of its bag. She smiled at it, and then slowly walked into the changing room. She braced herself to find loads of girls waiting to change, but found only three people waiting on stales to change in. She waited for ten minutes until a stall was available for her. She walked in, and changed her clothes [A/N: I refuse to add any details of what she looks like without clothes! This is not hentai! (Hentai, is a Japanese word for cartoon sex, but I use it a another word for porn, don't ask, long story) So, if you're reading this to hope they get busy, forget it, they don't.] Her looked in her mirror and smiled at the image of her. Her wavy brown hair falling down her back and the look of green on her. " Now that that's done.." Hermione said to herself walking out of the changing room. She walked back into the bathroom, to find Lavender playing with Parvati's hair. Hermione walked over and pulled a chair up to the mirror. " Hey, 'Mi." Lavender started to say, but then looked at Hermione. " H-hermione?! Is that you?" Lavender asked, staring in unbelief. " Uh-huh, not if you don't mind, I only have thirty minutes to get my hair done." Hermione smiled and looked at her image in the mirror. She thought about her hairstyle. What would be the best hairstyle for a princess? ' Long, long, blonde hair.' Hermione thought instantly. ' But that won't work, maybe long curly brown.' Hermione, with a flick of her wand, made her hair grow out and go curly. Her hair went down to about the end of her skirt. (Or other words, her hair was as long as her skirt.) She smiled and put the headband on, seeing how the material looked against her brown hair. 'Perfect!' Hermione thought in her head.
Draco looked at his clock. Six o'clock. " Time to get ready." He said out loud, and then went into his bathroom. He took a quick shower and shaved his face. He pulled on his costume and smiled into the mirror. His prince costume fit okay, not tight and defiantly not too baggy. He let his hair fall in his eyes again and whipped his face off. When he walked out of his bathroom, he glanced at his clock. Six forty. 'Time to go.' He thought as he walked into the common room.
Alex sat on the couch, staring into the fire. She had been ready for over thirty minutes. She never took long getting ready; after all, she wasn't that feminine and only took a few minutes to get ready. She turned her head slightly as Draco came down the steps. " Hi." He said, and headed for the portrait hole. " Hey. Nice costume." Alex replied. " You, too." Draco smiled at her. She was going as a rock star. Her guitar and all. " Thanks." " Well, I gotta go. Meeting up with 'Mione in a couple of minutes, bye!" Draco called as he walked out of the common room.
Hermione leaned against the right side of the wall. She looked at her watch. Ten till seven. Then she saw Draco. " Hey." She whispered as he came up to her. His mouth was in a big 'O' shape and he was staring at Hermione in a place she would have slapped anybody, any day. But this was different, he was her boyfriend. He was allowed to goggle at her. " So," Draco said, putting on an english-man's accent, " Shall we shag now, or shall we shag later, Baby?" Hermione giggled and took his arm, " How about in a about two years?" She asked. " AWWWW! Come on! Now THAT'S not fair." He wined as they entered the hall. " So, I-" Hermione was cut off by the loud music that was blasting in the hall. " OH MY GOD." Draco said as he looked around. The great hall looked as though it had been transformed into one of those muggle late-night clubs. Hermione listened to the music for a moment. " Hold on, Draco, listen." She said.
What would you do?
If there's someone at home,
Crying all alone on the bedroom floor,
Cause he's hungry,
And the only way to feed him,
Is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money,
And his daddy's gone now.
Draco looked down at Hermione. " What about it?" "It's one of my favorites. It's sad though, I always ended up crying when I listened to it." Hermione said, smiling. " So, it's a muggle song?" Draco asked as they made their way over to the food table. " Uh-huh. I guess that most of these songs are going to be muggle songs." Hermione said, as a couple passed, dressed as an angel and a devil. " Oh, okay then." Draco said as he watched the hall fill up with more people. " You ready for this night?" Draco asked. " Yah, my cousin took me to a club for teens this summer. It was neat. We stayed until about five in the morning." Hermione said as she and Draco slowly made their way onto the dance floor as a new song came on. Hermione heard the beat. " Uh-oh." She said. " Wh-" Then the music began blasting.
[A/N: not sure to the lyrics of this song. Just gonna go with what I think.]
Now usually I don't do this, but uh, go ahead and break em down with a little preview of the remix,
Now I'm not trying to be rude,
But hey pretty girl I'm feelin you,
The way you do the things you do the things you do,
Reminds me when I was back in school,
That's why I'm all up in your grill,
Trying to get ya to a hotel,
You must be a football couch,
The way you got me playin the field,
So baby gimme that TOOT TOOT,
And gimme that BEEP BEEP,
Runnin her hands through my fro,
Bouncing off ninty-fo,
While they sayin on the radio,
This is the remix to ignition,
Hot-N-Fresh out the kitchen,
Mamma rollin that body,
Got every man in here wishin,
Sippin on coke and rum,
I'm like, so what I'm drunk,
It's the freakin weekend baby, I'm about to have me some fun!
Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce
C'mon,
Now it's like murder she wrote,
Once I get you out them clothes,
Privacy's on the door,
Still they can hear you screamin more,
Girl I'm feelin what you're feeling,
No more hope in and wishin,
I'm about to take my key and still it in the ignition,
So gimme that TOOT TOOT
And gimme that BEEP BEEP
Runnin her hands through my fro,
Bouncing off ninty-fo,
While they say on the radio,
This is the remix to ignition,
Hot-N-Fresh out the kitchen
Mamma rollin that body,
Got every man in here wishin,
Sippin on coke and rum,
I'm like so what, I'm drunk
It's the freakin weekend baby, bout to have me some fun.
Draco smiled as Hermione danced. ' So she can dance.' He thought. " Yes, of course I can dance!" Hermione retorted. " Stop doing that!" Draco said aloud. 'Stop doing what, baby?' Her voice floated into his head. ' Stop reading my mind. I'm afraid you'll find out something you shouldn't.' Draco thought knowing she could hear. ' Like what?' She thought back, as the song ended. ' I dunno, like what I'm planning on getting you for Christmas.' Draco thought, sliding his arms around her waist as the slow song started to play.
If you're not the one,
Then why does my soul feel glad, today?
If you're not the one, then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine,
Then why does your heart return to my call?
If you are not mine,
Would I have the strength to stand at all?
Never know what the future brings,
But I know that you're here with me now,
We'll make it through, and I hope you're the one I share my life with,
I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand,
If I'm not made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way to stay in your arms??
If I don't need you, then why am I crying, on my bed?
If I don't need you, then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me, then why does this distance name no lie,
If you're not for me, then why do I dream of you, as my wife?
I don't know why you're so far away, but I know that this much is true,
We'll make it through, and I hope you're the on e I share my life with,
And I wish that you could be the one I die with,
And I'm praying you're the one I build my home with,
I hope I'll love you all my life,
I don't wanna run away,
But I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for, then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way I could stay in your arms???
Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that you take my breath away,
And I breath you, into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today,
Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right,
And though hi can't be with you tonight. know that my heart is by your side,
I don't wanna run away,
But I can't take it, I don't understand!
If I'm not made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I could stay in your arms?????..
After the song was over, Hermione and Draco were in a deep kiss. 'I love you.' Draco thought. ' I love you too.' Hermione thought back, as they broke apart. This song was a faster one, and Hermione asked if they could sit it out. As Draco and Hermione walked over to the food table, none other than Pansy Parkinson waltzed up to Draco. " Hey Drakie!" She squealed in her high-pitched voice. " Go away, Parkinson." Draco said threatingly. " Oh, come on Drakie! Dance with me!" " Why the hell would I want to dance with a cow like you!?" Draco asked through clenched teeth. " Well, you like me, so that means you'll dance with me!" Pansy said, putting her hands on her hips. Draco forced a laugh, although it was bitter. " Parkinson, listen to me!!!!! I. Do. Not. Like. You. Got it? I. Hate. You. So. Much." Draco told her slowly so it would go through her head. " Uh, well I guess you don't wanna dance right now, I'll come back later." She said cheerfully as if he hadn't just said that he hated her. " Is she mentally ill?" Hermione asked, taking his arm. " Probably. Either that or she's just incredibly stupid." Draco said, as he picked up a slice of pizza. " Pizza, hm, good." He said after taking a bite. Hermione giggled. " What?" He asked puzzled. Hermione pointed behind him. Neville was standing there dropping slices of pizza everywhere. Draco helped him clean it up, the whole time, Neville's eyes were huge. He didn't believe that Draco Malfoy was helping him. As soon as Draco was down he turned back to Hermione. " That was sweet of you." She said, her lips playing a smile. " I know." Draco said matter-of-factly. Hermione giggled and elbowed him in the stomach. " OW! What was that for?" Draco asked. " Because you are trying to act like me!" Hermione stated. " Okay, okay. Just don't do that again, okay?" Draco pleaded. " Well.Okay! But you have to dance with me some more." She smiled wickedly and he pulled her back out on the dance floor. This song was a fast one.
Two trailer park girls go round me outside, round me outside, round me outside,
Two trailer park girls go round me outside, round me outside, round me outside,
Guess who's back, back again. Shady's back, tell a friend, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back.
I've created a monsta cause nobody wants to see Marshall no more,
They want Shady, I'm chopped liver
Well, this is what I'll give ya,
A little bit of a weed, mix with some hard liquor
Hermione laughed as Draco tried to dance to the rap music. " You just let me, do the dancing." She said and did her 'thang'.
Well the FCC won't let me be, or let me be me, so let see
Try to shut me down on MTV, but it feels so empty without me!
So come on dick, roll on the lips, fuck that come on the lips and suck on the tits,
And get ready, cause this shits about to get heavy,
I just said it on my lawsuit, FUCK YOU GOD DAMMIT!!!
Now this looks like a job for me, so everybody, just follow me cause we need a little, Controversy, cause it feels so empty without me!
" You think that they would edit it, wouldn't you?" Hermione asked as Draco watched her dance. " Yah, but no teachers are here." He said, Hermione took a moment and looked around. Sure enough, there were no teachers around. Anywhere. " Wow, wat time is it?" Hermione asked suddenly. " Its about twelve o'clock, 'Mione." Draco replied. " Really?! Damn, that late already." She said. The song ended, and a nice slow song came on. Draco held out his hand for Hermione, " Would you like to dance?" He asked politely. " Of course!" She said, took his hand and they went to the center of the dance floor. Everybody moved away from them, forming a circle around them, and suddenly the spotlight was shining down upon them. Draco's arm slipped around Hermione's waist. Hermione smiled, but felt someone watching them as they danced in the spotlight. " Draco." She whispered and laid her head on his chest. "Hm?" Draco replied, twirling her around. " I feel like someone is watching us." Hermione looked around, but everyone was watching them, after all, they WERE in the spotlight. " So. I don't mind." Draco whispered, bringing her close again. " Someone evil is watching." She whispered again. " We'll deal with Pansy later." Draco replied. " No, not Pansy.Someone more evil than her." Hermione whispered, feeling tears of fear come to her eyes. " I'm scared," She whispered. "It's okay, I'm here, 'Mione." Draco said. Someone screamed and Hermione and Draco stopped dancing. Someone was thrown into the food table. " Where's the girl??!!!" They heard a voice yell. " There she is!" Pansy emerged from the crowd, pointing at Hermione. Draco arms were wrapped securely around Hermione. A figure with an oversized cloak appeared in front of Pansy. " Mudblood." It whispered, and raised its wand. Hermione's eyes widened. "Crutio" Whispered the strange person, and a reddish blast blew from the end of his wand. Hermione screamed and felt Draco's grip on her tighten. She expected the worst, but weird enough, she didn't feel it. She looked up, and Saw the frightened faces of the students. She looked down at her feet, and there was Cho Chang. Dead. Hermione screamed even more. " What's going on here?!" Demanded Dumbledore's voice from the entrance of the hall. Then he caught sight of the hooded figure. The figure saw Dumbledore, panicked, and then vanished. Hermione screamed, her eyes still fixed on Cho's body, and ran from the hall.
Draco raced after Hermione, seeing her long hair and veil/headband flowing in the wind. She ran out into the lake. She kept running though, even though she was near the edge. Draco caught her just in time, he grabbed her by the waist, and pulled her away from the lake, the whole time her kicking and screaming. " Hermione." Draco whispered letting her cry into his costume. " S-she died for us." She whispered when her tears subsided a little bit. " I know, but we have to be thankful. Think about Harry, I know he has had a crush on her. And I also know that he has kissed her. But we have to go back inside soon, or You-Know-Who might find us." He said, trying to comfort her. " I know." She whispered again, and stood up, shivering. " You're cold, c'mon, lets go back." Draco told her as he put his arms around her in attempt to warm her up. They slowly made their way to the castle, and slowly reliezed, that if it weren't for Cho, they would have been dead.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Kind of a cliffie. Well, I couldn't think of whom to die. I was thinking first Ron. but then thought better of it. Than I thought Harry, and no b/c he's got a major part in either the next chapter or chapter after.
