Disclaimer: Bla bla bla...same old, same old...we own nothing, JK Rowling owns the world

Voldemort's P.O.V.

"We shall then move to the ministry of magic, where we will...AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" all heads turned towards the open door to see my daughter, barely dressed! she was wearing a tight, short muggle outfit. An emerald green halter top that ended above her pierced naval, a tight black mini-skirt, that was barely covering her, and black boots that ended in the middle of her knee that said "PMS" in bold, green letters that matched her "shirt".

She turned to face me when she heard me scream and followed my eyes up and down her body.

"And where are you going, wearing that?" I insisted

"Out with my friends, we have our first gig tonight at a club in New York City at the all boys military academy open house/party."

"And who will be chaperoning you!"

"Judy's older brother"

"And how old is he?"

"Seventeen in November"

"Lucius!"

"Yes, my lord?"

I could tell that she knew what was coming when I heard her sigh.

"Get your son, he shall go with Emma to chaperone"

"But father..." Everyone in the room stirred when they heard her say 'but' to me.

"No buts, and if you don't want him to come, you don't have to go either."

"Fine" she mumbled.

Lucius's son appeared before us. He walked toward Emma. She flipped her hair over her shoulder and walked out of the room.

"I expect her home, safe and the same way she is leaving" The boy bowed his head and walked out of the room, running to catch up to my daughter.

At The Party

"Are you sure she's gonna be here Ron?" Harry asked nervously

"Yea, mum wants Fred and George to go back to school, so they looked up a bunch of schools and heard about the open house/party. When they told me the band that's playing and showed me a picture of them, I knew it was her. Who else makes a face like that, other than Malfoy, shit I did not just say that?" Ron tried to assure his best friend.

"Hey guys, did you see what I just saw?" George Weasly said from behind the two sixteen year old boys

"What?" Ron asked

"Malfoy following one of the hotties in the band. He was acting like a bodyguard, or something" Fred told them.

"Which one?" Harry asked

"The one with the green hair and patch on her arm" George said dreamily.

"WHAT" the younger two of the four boys screamed in unison

"Yea, she's the coolest one, do you think I might have a chance?" asked George

"With a face like yours, how could you not" Fred joked

"Hell no!" Harry said "That's Her-MPH"

"It's Hermione's cousin" Ron said, "We'll be right back"

The two walked off in search of 'E.R. (like Emergency Room)', but little did they know, someone else was also looking for her.

"Jake!?"

"Emma!"

"Hi! What are you doing here?"

"I go to school here"

"Really?!"

"Yea! Who do you think recommended you?"

"Thank you. By the way, this loser is my, um, brother Drake, my dad made me bring him because he doesn't have a social life"

She and Jake laughed at that while Malfoy scowled behind her and walked off to get a snack.

"I have to go, the major wants me to take hats and cloaks, lata"

"Lata"

"Hermione?" a familiar voice from behind her said.

"Harry!" She turned around, "Ron! What are you guys doing here?!"

"We were about to ask you what he's doing here, following you "

"He doesn't know that it's me"

"OOOOOH" The boys said in unison (it's like they share a brain, or something, UGH!)

"SHHH, here he comes" Hermione said

"What are you two doing here? Are they bothering you?"

"No, you are, go away"

"But your father..."

"Doesn't have to know about you leaving me to get a snack"

"Call if you need me"

"And don't come near us unless I want you to. And if you bother these two, I'll hex you into the next millennium."

"Yes m-Emma"

He backed away and walked off, giving Harry and Ron death glares.

"What did he call you?" Harry asked

"Long story" She noticed that Judy was signaling her to come on stage, "Shit! I have to go, I bet that you two already know why I'm here?"

"Yea, I saw you on T.V., you were really wicked!" Harry said.

"How about we meet in three and a half weeks to get our school supplies? I'll write to you Harry."

Before the boys could answer, she was onstage.

"I would never believe it if I didn't see it"

"The look or Malfoy?"

"Pick one, because I'm too much in shock to think"

Later at the Open House/Party

Draco's P.O.V.

'I can't help but wonder where I know her from. She sounds so familiar. She is so free with being herself, just walking around with her green hair, her tight outfits, which I hear she makes and designs herself, and everything about her.' I thought to myself as I watched her.

"We made a c.d. so we can mingle and whatever, it's our voices, but only some of our songs." Emma said. She put a metal disc into the box her friends brought up and she and her friends waked off stage. A slow song, called 'A Moment Like This', started to play. I saw Potter and the Weasleys walk over to her. I quickly made my way towards her before they could get to her.

"Would you like to dance?" I asked her. She looked hesitant, but accepted.

Hermione's P.O.V.

I really wanted to talk to Harry and Ron, but something made me want to dance with him. I could see honesty and humanity in his eyes (A/N LAME!!!!) AND NODDED MY HEAD.

Back to Draco's P.O.V.

I took her hand and brought her out to the dance floor. We began to dance.

"I'm sorry, but have we met before?" I finally asked

"Why?" She responded

"You just look familiar, and I feel like I know you. You remind me of some one I go to school with"

"Really? Who?"

"The smartest witch in my year, she's really smart (DUH!), and beautiful, I don't know why I'm saying this. I just feel like I can confide in you. I'm sorry, I am out of line. I shall leave you now." I started to back away when she pulled me back.

Hermione's POV

I don't know why, but I didn't want him to leave. Harry and Ron had always been my best friends, but I never felt like I could confide everything in them. they were too protective, and always jump to conclusions, not to mention that I never felt intellectually equal with them, they were always so...doi..., but with Draco, I feel like he is what I need. WAIT! DID I JUST CALL HIM DRACO!?!?!

"It's ok, sometimes you just need someone to talk to." I told him. his eyes softened. when the song ended, Harry and Ron came up to us and dropped their jaws.

"What do you two want?" Malfoy demanded

"Would you like to dance?" Harry asked me.

I looked at Malfoy, that's more like it, and back at Harry as I put my hand in his and walked off with him. Ron asked Judy, who was dancing nearby, and the four of us walked off. I felt bad about leaving Malfoy like that, but I didn't want Harry or Ron to suspect any thing. The dance was fast and ended before I knew it.

I went back onstage to announce the Major so he could talk to the teenagers and announce that I would be leaving, but the rest of the band was going to stay to play some more. Malfoy and I grabbed our port key and were off.

Back at the House

Still Hermione's POV

We landed in my room, where my father was waiting.

"Where were you two!!!" he demanded

"I'm sorry my lo..."

"It was my fault father, Malfoy was trying to tell me that it was time to go when it was, but I didn't listen. He is not to blame" Malfoy stood, dumbstruck. He wasn't expecting me to do that.

"You may go young Malfoy, but next time, make sure she is home on time"

"Father, I was wondering if Malfoy wanted to stay, so he could show me the ropes, you know, tell me the stuff you might have left out, that is, if he would like to" for some reason, I wanted to spend time with him, I don't know why though.

Voldemort nodded and left the room.

"I am so sorry that I left you for Harry, it's just complicated." I started "Would you like to stay and talk, like you wanted to before?"

He nodded and we talked all night.
