Halloween Ball

Days went by quickly and soon it was Saturday. Hermione was in her room and was getting ready for the ball as it was only a hour until her and Draco were expected to be there. The Head Boy and Head Girl were suppose to be a little late so they could make an entrance.

"I can't wait to show that Potter. His face will be priceless." Hermione said outloud to herself as she tried to tie the two ties around her neck. It was no use. She was never good at tieing halter tops.

"You really shouldn't talk to yourself." Someone said. She turned around to see Draco starting while smirking at her surprise. "Need some help?" He asked.

Hermione nodded. "I have never been good to tie these things up." Hermione whined as Draco quickly tied them.

"Then why do you buy them?" Draco asked teasily.

"I didn't." Hermione snapped. Her voice changed to another whine. "I got most of them for my birthday and I really like this dress and I didn't want not to buy it just because of a dumb reason."

"Well, are you done yet?" Draco asked complaining.

"No, I still have to do my hair and make up." Hermione said walking to her vanity. "It will be at least 30 more minutes."

"No it wont." Draco said. He pulled her away from her vanity and pulled out his wand. He muttered some words Hermoine didn't recongize and flicked his wand. Make up appeared on Hermione's face and her hair was fixing itself right before her eyes.

"Thanks Draco." Hermione said giving him a short kiss on the lips. "Where on earth did you learn to do that?" Hermione asked suspeciously.

"My mother used that spell a lot." Draco said. "Being around her so much, I just picked it up."

"Well, I'm glad you did." Hermione said smiling. "Well we are suppose to be there about this time. We better apparate." Hermione said. Draco nodded and they both apparated to the entrance of the Great Hall seeing someone unexpected. Oliver Wood.

Oliver Wood was standing there waiting for them. When he saw them he hurried towards them. "Finally you are here. Professor Dumbledore told me to watch over the ball and to host the karaoke night. Now, how are you Hermione? How are Harry and Ron?"

Hermione winced at the sound of her ex's name. "Ron and I are good. He is getting better at Quidditch, but I haven't had time to go to the games, but I heard he is getting good. As for Harry. . . we aren't speaking." Hermione said.

"Oh, what happened. Nevermind, we don't have time. Now I will interduce you and you will dance to the first song. Which is 'Burn' by Ron, if I am correct." Oliver Wood said. He quickly entered the Great Hall.

Oliver walked up to the stage and motioned for silence. "Now, as some of you may know, I am Oliver Wood. Class of 1993. Now before I interduce the first act, I will like to interduce you to this years Head Boy and Head Girl, Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger." The Great Hall doors opened at the two teenagers walked out arm in arm and walked in the middle of the dance floor. "Now, as our first act, I would like to interduce Ron Weasley singing, 'Burn'.

Everyone clapped as Ron walked up to the stage. He cleared his throat and the music began to play.

"Would you like to dance?" Draco asked holding his hand out.

"I would love to." Hermione said taking his hand. . .

i center . . .When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn

Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We know that it's through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn /center /i

The song soon ended and everyone stopped dancing and turned to Oliver who was on stage again. "Now, I would like to interduce Draco Malfoy. He will be singing 'This I Promise You'.

Draco walked up to the stage. While the music was starting to come on he said, "This is dedicated to you Hermione. You mean everything to me and I love you."

Hermione walked over to a table and sat down and listened to Draco sing for her. 'I must be the luckiest girl in the world.' Hermione thought.

i center ohhhhhh
ohhhhhhhhhh

the visions around you
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surrounds you
Are secrets and lies

I'll be your strength
I'll give you hope
Keepin' your faith when it's gold

And I will take

"I love you Hermione. And I always will. . . I promise." Draco said and walked up to Hermione and gave her a deep kiss full of love. Draco sat besides her.

"So are you having fun?" Draco asked.

"Yeah. I can't wait until I get my chance to sing. "Hermione said smiling.

"Yeah. Hey I am going to take a walk to get some fresh air. I will be right back, unless you want to come." Draco said.

"No thats alright. I am just going to go see if I can find Ron anywhere." Hermione said. With that Draco gave her a light kiss and when out into the garden.

Hermione got up and looked around looking for Ron. Suddenly she saw Pavarti glaring at her and she went out to the garden.

She followed her and gasped at what she saw. There was Pavarti coming on to Draco. She had him against the wall, and Draco's hands were trying to sneak up her waist.

'Come one Draco push her away.' Hermione thought. 'He'll push her away in time. I know he will. He loves me.'

"You know Draco, Hermione doesn't deserve you." Pavarti purred as she pushed him into a wall. "I can show you stuff that she hasn't even heard of."

"I don't. . ." Draco tried to say but she was interrupted with Pavarti's lips. Instead of Draco pushing her away, he flipped her over so that she was against the wall. He was kissing her back and they were snogging right in front of her.

'Maybe he's thinking of pushing her away.' Hermione thought. She read his mind.

'She is a damn good kisser. And she is really hott. She takes control.' Draco thought. He completey forgot about Hermione, until he felt a strong wind. He pulled back and saw Hermione.

Hermione's eyes were black and she was glowing. Suddenly a strong wind came and she levitated above the ground. A strong wind blew Pavarti off her feet.

"Hermione stop. Let me explain. . ." Draco tried to say.

"Silence." Hermione's voice rung out strong and bold. She slowly floated down back to the ground. She returned to normal. She pulled out her wand and brought it to Draco's throat. "Stay the bloody hell away from me. I hope your happy with your new girlfriend." She said whiping away her tears and starting walking away.

"Hermione. . ." Draco said walking towards her. But Draco was sent flying through the air by a wave of Hermione's hand.

She ran into the Great Hall and was walking towards the exit when someone came up to her and tapped her shoulder. She turned around and it was Ron.

"I was wondering. Do you want to dance with me?" Ron asked blushing.

Draco entered the Great Hall looking around for Hermione. Hermione spotted him but just glared at him then turned back to Ron. "I would love to dance with you Ron." She said smiling.

They stepped on the dance floor just as Susan Bones started to sing 'I Pray'. Ron and Hermione got closer. Ron placed his hands around her waist while Hermione placed her hands around his neck.

i center You know with every day that passes i pray to god I'll never forget who you are.
You mean everything to me.
I love you

Ooooh Ooooh
Ooh i pray

You were in my dream
Before i even knew there was a you and me,
Now i can't wait to see your smile,
When i wake up each day,
It makes it worth while
With the kinda love you plant inside,
Specially with a heart so empty as mine.
All your soft tenderness is the one thing that i don't wanna miss. /center /i

They danced so well together. Like they were made for eachother. "I never knew you could dance so well." Hermione said teasily.

"You have known me for seven years and you never knew I could dance." Ron said as Hermione blushed.

i center I pray,
When it's time for me to say goodbye
I'll never forget looking in your eyes,
I pray,
That i feel your touch
And that God doesn't forget our love,
I pray,
When i close my eyes,
I can still see visions of you on my mind.
I pray,
That i see you in another life,
I pray that you still by my side.
Oh i pray. /center /i

"Well you didn't dance when we had the Yule Ball in our fourth year. You were too busy staring at me and Krum." Hermione said slighty smirking at a blushing Ron.

"Well I was just jealous that you went with him because. . ." Ron paused at got redder. ". . . I really liked you and I still do."

i center Everything that you give to me,
Only comes in a fantasy,
It seems like life goes by so fast,
But in this time i wanna make it last. (i pray)
I hate that we live to die,
But only God knows why (i pray)
We all have a purpose,
And to see you again it'll be worth it. /i /center

"I just went out with him because you hadn't asked me and I wanted to get you jealous. I have always liked you since our first year." Hermione said.

"Really?" Ron asked.

"Yeah." Hermione said.


i center I pray,
When it's time for me to say goodbye

"What about Draco?" Ron asked.

"We're not together anymore" Hermione said laying her head on his chest.

Ron tighten his grip around her waist enjoying having Hermione in his arms. He liked her. It made him feel good that she was in his arms.


i center When i close my eyes,
I can still see visions of you on my mind.
I pray,
That i see you in another life,
I pray that you still by my side.
Oh i pray. /i /center

Draco was still looking at them dance. He hated having to watch them. Seeing Wealsey look at her like that. He should have her in his arms right now, not Weasley.

"Hermione?" Ron said.

"Hmm. . .?" Hermione said looking deep into his blue eyes.

i center I wish that i could stop time,
I wish that i could rewind,
To the very begining of every second of my life.
To ask God on my hands and knees,
To never let me forget all my special memories.
See i'm only promised today,
And if it's my time to go,
I don't want the love of my life to ever fade away,
So one last time
Let me open my eyes.
To see what my life used to be like.
Oh God. /i /center

"Do you want to go out sometime?" Ron asked.

Hermione got on her tip toes and gave him a kiss full of love and passion. She pulled back seeing Ron blushing a deep crimson. "Yes." She once again laid her head against his chest.

i center I pray,
When it's time for me to say goodbye
I'll never forget looking in your eyes,
I pray,
That i feel your touch
And that God doesn't forget our love,

I can still see visions of you on my mind.
I pray,
That i see you in another life,
I pray that you still by my side.
Oh i pray. /center /i

The song ended. Oliver Wood walked up to the stage. "Now I would like to interduce Harry Potter. Singing 'I Don't Want You Back'.

"Lets sit down." Hermione said grabbing Ron's hand and leading him to a table far away from Draco.

Harry walked up to the stage and smirked at Hermione. "This is to Hermione Granger."

"Oh no. . ." Hermione said as eveyone looked at her.

"What's wrong?" Ron asked. Being a wizard pureblood and never hardly been around muggles he had never heard of the song.

"Just listen to the words." She said as the just glared at him.

"How dare he?" Ron said. His face was full of anger and he tried to get out of his seat to go hit Harry but Hermione pulled him back on his robes.

"Don't worry. Listen." Hermione said while tears fell onto her face. Ron just nodded and whiped them away gently brushing her face.

"Now for our final act. Hermione Granger will be singing 'Fuck You Right Back'. Oliver Wood said.

Hermione got up and wiped her tears away. She walked over to the stage and got the microphone. "This is dedicated to Harry Potter." She said smirking at Harry.

Hermione walked off the stage. "Now that is all for tonight. Have a nice holiday." Oliver said and disapparated.

"Do you want to come to the Gryffindor common room? There is going to be a party there all night." Ron said.

"I'll be down there in a little while. I have to finish packing. I have to go to the Malfoy Mansion for The Order. Which means that I have to spend the holiday with Malfoy." Hermione said whinning.

"It's ok. You'll survive. I'll be waiting for you." Ron said.

"Bye" Hermione said giving him a kiss leaving him wanting for more. "You will have to wait until tonight at the party." Hermione said giggling as Ron whined like a little boy.

Hermione entered the common room hoping that Draco wouldn't be there. She looked around and saw no one in the common room. She ran upstairs to find Draco waiting for her by her bedroom door.

"Unicorns." She said. She walked in with Draco following her. "What do you want?" Hermione asked conjuring up a duffle bag. She waved her hand at several garments folded themselves and floated into the dufflebag.

"I wanted to say that I am sorry. I wanted to exlpain." Draco said begging on his knees.

Hermione looked digusted. "I don't want to hear your explaination. I trusted you. Leave me alone. Go to Pavarti." Hermione said. She waved her hand a couple of more times and all of her make up, shoes and her journal went into the duffle bag and zipped up. Hermione walked out of her room leaving Draco.

She quickly pulled out her wand and pointed it to herself and muttered, "convertire". Her halter top gown became some tight hip huggers demin blue jeans with a low cut black halter top. Her tanks top stopped about an inch above her belly button so a few inches of her stomach shown.

Hermione was heading out of the common room when Draco grabbed her arm. "Hermione please listen to me. I am sorry for kissing Pavarti. I didn't want to." Draco tried to tell her.

She snatched her arm back and looked up with him with a disgusted face. "No you didn't. I read your mind while you kissing her. You weren't even thinking of me. You were just thinking about her and how hot she was. Stay the hell away from me. If you don't, I swear I'll bloody kill you." She said and walked out of the common room.

When she reached the Fat Lady she could hear the music loud and clear. The Fat Lady had on some earplugs and looked quite annoyed. "Kneazle" She said and the potrait opened.

She walked in looking for Ron but she couldn't find him. There was a huge crowd throughout the common room. She saw Dean. "Hey Dean. Do you know where Ron is?"

"Yeah. He is up in the boy's dormintories." Dean said with his usual smile on his face.

"Thanks." She said and made her way through the crowd.

Someone then pulled her into a cornor roughly. "What the hell?" She said but the person covered her mouth with their hand.

It was Harry. "What do you think your doing? Trying to hulmilate me in front of everyone."

Hermione bit his hand and he took it off of her mouth. "You did the same to me. Now, get out of my way so I can find Ron." She said pushing him out of her way.

"No one walks away from me." Harry said grabbing her arm.

'Don't use your powers. You can't let him get to you. You can't let everyone see that you have powers. Stay calm.' She told herself. "Let go of me." She yelled.

"No. You are going to be my whore." Harry said and pushed his lips against hers roughly brusing her lip. She was about to use her powers when someone pulled him off of her. It was Ron.

"Stay the bloody hell away from her." Ron said pushing him to the floor. "She is mine. You lost your chance a long time ago. Deal with it." He grabbed her hand and pulled her in his lap onto a couch.

"Thanks Ron." Hermione said. "He was hurting me."

"Why didn't you use your powers?" Ron asked.

"Dumbledore told me not to use them. The only times I have used them before was because I was so angry I couldn't help it." Hermione said leaning against him as he placed his arms around his waist.

"Oh no. Hermione look." Ron said pointing at the potrait. Draco and Pavarti came in the Gryfindor common room looking happy together. Draco's hands were comfortably around her waist.

They came and sat down on the couch in front of Hermione and Ron. "Honey, I am going to go to bed. I'll come see you before I leave tomorrow." Hermione said kissing Ron.

"Alright Bye." Ron said.

After Hermoine left the common room Draco said, "I totally forgot I have to pack. I am going home for a couple of days tomorrow. I'll see you later." Draco said giving her a quick kiss and leaving the common room.

Hermione made it to the common room and plopped herself on the couch not wanting to move. "I just want to stay and sleep here. I am too tired to walk all the way to my room." Hermione said outloud to herself.

"I can always carry you." Draco said.

"No that's alright. I have suddenly regained my strength." Hermione said and walked to her room.

When she got there she got her journal out of the duffle bag and turned on her bedside lamp on so she could see. She wrote:

i Dear Journal,

Today was the big day. The day of the Halloween Ball. I was so excited that I was going with Draco but he betrayed me. I found him kissing Pavarti. Then he tried to lie about it and say that he was sorry but I knew that he wasn't. He loved kissing her, I could see it. But now I am with Ron. Ron is the best. He will listen to me and understands me. Then when I went to the Gryfindor after party guess who showed up with that little slut Pavarti. Draco. He was holding her by her waist and sat down right in front of us. I had enough and went to the common room where Draco tried talking to me like we were still together and nothing had happned and I just walked out on him. Here I am. I have to spend the next couple of days with him at his mansion. How will I ever survive? If he tries anything then I swear I will bloody kill him. I am tired so I am going to go to sleep.

center Hermione, /center /i

She got out of bed and placed the journal back into the duffle bag. She opened her wardrobe and got out a black tank top and some black short shorts. She quickly changed and went to bed trying not to think about Draco. 'How could my life get so messed up?' Hermione thought before she was induce with slumber.
