Chapter 19: Oops I Did It Again

'Hermione, please come to my rooms during dinner. We can eat there. Your costume is finished and I want to help you get ready. Bring your friends if you wish for me to also help them. Owl me if this is okay.

P.S. you will not find out what your costume looks like or what it is until I show it to you.'

Hermione folded up her letter as she brought Harry, Ron and Ginny to her mother's room.

"Hermione, what do you have in store for us?" Ron asked nervously. He was going with Hannah Abbot, but he couldn't think of anything to go as

"Don't worry Ron. I told Hannah's friend Nicole what to dress her as. Thank me, she wanted you two to go as clowns." Hermione reassured her friend.

"Tell us again why you're going with Zabini?" Harry asked his friend

"'Cause since I couldn't decide, I put the names of all the guys who asked me in a hat and picked one of them out"

"And what are you guys going as?" Ginny asked. She was going with Harry

"My mother refuses to tell me!" Hermione said. "We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz" the portrait opened. "We're here mum"

"Good. Now, I think that this is your size, all of you get into your costumes then I'll help with the hair, make-up, accessories and such. Girls in my room, boys in the bathroom"

"MOTHER!" Hermione stormed out of her mother's room with Ginny close behind. "What is this?"

"Your costume. I think you look great in it. Wow, Ginny, I love it!" Hermione gave Ginny her red pleated mini-skirt. She had on fishnet stockings and black leather boots that went up to the middle of her shins. She was wearing a tight black shirt and a bunck of black bracelets.

"Thank you professor, I mean Cass" She said quietly.

"What's all the screaming? Wow, Hermione" Harry said as he rushed into the room. Hermione was wearing what looked like a bikini with see through pants. He saw her well-toned, tan stomach. She was wearing a turquoise belly-button ring to match her, eh hem, outfit. She wasn't wearing any shoes, but toe rings.

"Whoa yourself" Hermione said. Harry was wearing black pants with chains. He didn't have on a shirt to show off his chiseled torso. He was wearing converse sneakers.

"Hermione! What am I going a-AAAHHH!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO GINNY!?" Ron screamed as he walked out. He was also wearing black pants with converse sneakers, but he was wearing a tight Good Charlotte T-shirt shat showed off his rippled chest.

"Don't worry Ron, it's not done" Hermione said. She said a spell which turned Ginny's hair blond with purple streaks. She then applied some black eye liner, deep, dark red lip-stick and a tattoo of a rose. She gave Ginny some silver rings, a tongue ring, four more holes in her ears with silver earrings in them and nose ring.

"AAAHHH!!!!!!!!! GINNY!!! COVER YOURSELF UP! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU GOING WITH? WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO-"

"Silencio"

"Thank you Ginny. Now I think that while he can't complain, you and Harry hold him down!" Hermione gave Ron blue tips, a chain necklace, a lip ring and an earring. She added some tattoos along his left arm and some bracelets on his right.

"I love it!" Cassara said "Now for Harry, Hermione, mind if I do the honors?"

"Go right ahead. I still need to put some eyeliner on Ron. Hold still you big baby! That's it! Petrificus totalus!" Ron fell to the ground. "Good boy."

"Love it Hermione" Cassara said. "How does Harry look?"

Hermione looked at her friend. He had a safety pin in his eyebrow and two in his ears. He had a net shirt, chain necklaces and scattered tattoos around his body (but they looked hot).

"I love it! You look great Harry, but you need this." Hermione said. She gave him red tips and streaks. Cassara gave Ron back his voice.

"Bloody brilliant mate. But what about 'Mione?" Ron said with a sinister smile.

"I have that already covered!" Cassara said happily. She pointed her wand at Hermione.

Her body was covered in a shimmer. She had on a clear lip-gloss and turquoise eye shadow. Her hair was in a long braid. She had a bunch of gold bracelets and gold hoop earrings. Her rose tattoo on the bottom of her back was given a little sparkle. She was still wearing her locket, but it was turned into a gold pendant.

"Wait, where did you put the jewelry I was wearing before?"

"Don't worry, you're still wearing the bracelet and earring." Cassara reassured her "Now who wants to help my date with his costume?"

"We will, the girls can help you" Ron said politely, wondering who she was going with. "Where is he?"

"In the other room." The two boys left the room. When they walked into the other room they screamed.

"What is Snape doing in there?" Harry said as he walked out

"He's my date. What, you don't want to help him?" Cassara said innocently as the two other girls tried to suppress their giggles.

"You knew about this, didn't you?" Ron asked his sister.

"Mhm" she giggled.

Snape walked out quickly wearing a Prince Charming costume from Sleeping Beauty.

"Princess, are you certain about this? Is it too late to ask for the other costume suggestion?" he asked

"Fine, it's in there" Cassara said "But I personally think that you look adorable"

Snape muttered something as he walked back into the room.

"Wow, mother, what are you two going as?" Hermione asked curiously

"You'll see" Snape walked out of the room wearing an Elvis costume. The four students tried their hardest to suppress their laughter.

"Cass, you owe me big" Snape said in monotone.

"Hermione, help professor Snape with his hair while I get into my outfit." She pointed her wand at herself. Hermione led Snape out of the room before anything happened. Harry, Ron and Ginny saw her mother dressed like Brittany Spears in Hit Me Baby One More Time. She dyed her hair blond and put it in pigtails.

Hermione walked out of the room and felt her jaw drop to the floor.

"Cass, wow!" was all Snape could say.

"MOTHER! You can not wear that!" Hermione shrieked

Well, it's twenty to. We should be heading to the Great Hall before any of the students come" Cassara said innocently. She took Snape's hand and led everyone out of the rooms.

"Hey, Zabini!" Hermione called as they neared the Great Hall. "I'll catch you guys later"

Blaise turned around from talking to Draco. His and all the guys around the area's jaws dropped as they saw the beautiful girl walk up to Blaise. He was dressed as a vampire, how original. He walked over to Hermione with a smile.

"Nice costume" he smiled.

"Thanks. Same to you" she said. He brought her to his Slytherin friends. Pansy was going as a princess and covered herself in jewels. She was bringing Marcus Flint, a seventh year, who was dressed in his quidditch uniform. The sixth years were there with their dates. There were so

me other Slytherins there. She saw Draco dressed as Aladin in the third movie, Aladin and the Prince of Theives. He was going stag.

"Granger" he said indifferently

"Malfoy" she replied.

The group continued to talk, leaving Hermione out, but Blaise did not move his hand from her waist.

Halfway through the dance, Draco walked up to Hermione and Blaise who were dancing in the middle of the dance floor and asked to cut in. Hermione accepted before Blaise could send him away. Remember Me This Way sung by Jordan Hill began to play.

"Nice costume Draco." Hermione said quietly as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Hermione, not too close. Someone might notice." He said, stepping away a little

"Why does it matter so much to you that nobody knows?" she was beginning to get irritated.

"Because. Can we just finish this dance? By the way, you look amazing. The tattoo is-"

"No, stop changing the subject. I want to know now" she stopped moving

"Hermione, w-"

"NO! And I don't give a fuck who the hell hears. I want to know NOW!" her eyes began to become small flames, but the flames got bigger with each passing second.

"Hermione, people are going to see your eyes" He rushed her out of the room and down the hall.

"Tell me! I can read your mind so if you don't tell me then I'll just find out for myself." She threatened

"Please understand that I can't tell you. And if you read my mind then that betrays the trust of our friendship."

"Don't flip this around bitch! You know the reason why you don't want anyone to know, and so far I haven't heard a good one!"

"Why do I have to explain myself to you?" 'God, why the fuck cant she just understand?'

"I'm going to be the considerate and not tell anyone, but until you are willing to tell me why, don't bother telling me anything else." She turned around because she didn't want him to see that she was near tears. "You can rot in hell for all I give a shit you little bitch!" with that, she ran back to the dance, hoping no one noticed she was missing.

"Hey, Hermione, would you like to go outside for a bit?" Blaise asked her as she sat back down. Hermione looked across the room and saw Draco look at her with a pained face.

"I'd love to" she said, hoping to get away from the guilt act.

Blaise took her hand and led her to the garden. They sat down on a marble bench. He looked deep into her eyes, trying hard not to look down.

"Hermione, I've been having a great time tonight. I never thought a midbl-sorry a muggle born could be so much fun."

"Thanks. I'm also actually enjoying myself too" she half smiled

"This night has been almost perfect."

"Almost?"

"Well, I was wondering, can I ki-"

Before he could finish, Hermione planted a gentle kiss on his lips. They separated. Blaise smiled and leant in for another, more passionate kiss.

Hermoine snaked her arms around his neck. He moved his hands to her waist. They continued to kiss until Hermione heard a branch snap.

Hermione turned to see Draco standing still, staring at the two.

Hermione froze.

They stayed that way for a while and then Blaise said "Malfoy, man what are you doing here?"

"Oh, um, Professor Riddle wishes to see Granger" he said

"I'll meet you in a sec." Draco turned and began to walk away "I'll be right back" she said quickly to Blaise.

'Should I ask her out before she goes?' She heard him think

"Oh, and, you wanna go out with me?" she asked. 'Wow, real romantic' she sarcastically told herself.

Blaise smiled and pulled her in by her chin with both hands and began to kiss her with more passion than before.

"Granger, are you coming or not?" Draco asked irritably

"Ugh! I'll be back in a second." She leant in and whispered "Something tells me that it isn't the professor who wishes to speak to me" she stood up and walked to the little bastard.

'This had better be good bitch' she thought to him

"OKAY! What is up with that?" He asked her as they stopped at the doors.

"What? The thought thing, me kissing Blaise, or me asking Blaise out?"

"WHAT! You asked out Zabini? Why?"

"Not that I have to tell you, but he's not a bad guy and he was gonna ask me out and I was gonna say yes anyways. I read his mind accidentally."

"Accidentally?"

"Yes, accidentally. Why do you care anyways?"

"Because he wants only one thing. Do you not remember what he said about your mother in potions on the first day of school? Hermione, I want to apologize, but I wont tell yo-"

"Then I don't want to hear it. Buh bye" she turned around to walk away, but Draco grabbed her arm and turned her around.

"No Hermione. We need to talk"

"What about? You're ashamed of me"

"That couldn't be farther from the truth"

"Then why wont you leave her alone?" Blaise asked from behind Hermione. He had seen the whole thing from where he was waiting for her.

"Zabini, please leave us. We are not through speaking"

"Really, but I thought she was supposed to be speaking to Professor Riddle. Huh, you don't look like her"

"Blaise, let's just go" Hermione said, pulling him back to the dance.

"Fine Granger, I'm sure you have a royal engagement to get to now" Draco said, knowing that it would get her to come back.

"Why do you hang that over my head? It is a good thing-"

"That will get you killed if it was in the wrong hands"

"But that wont happen, because you know what would happen to whomever does it"

"Well, I tell my father everything, and my father knows you uncle very well"

"You wouldn't dare. C'Mon Blaise, just ignore this fucker." Hermione said as she brought the confused boy back to the dance
