Chapter Six
"And announcing, Mr. Draco Malfoy and Miss Hermione Granger!"
The doors opened. Draco and Hermione began to walk down the grand staircase.
Hermione was wearing a long silver dress that had teeny tiny diamonds covering it. It looked very elegant on her. On her feet, were silver sandals that had a diamond buckle on the right side. Her hair was up in a silver clip. It had a strand of curly hair on each side of her face, framing it beautifully.
Draco was wearing a green vest, with a black and silver tie. Green slacks covered his legs and across his shoulders was a dark green cape with a small silver border tracing the edge of it.
'Grrrrr.... Slytherin colors... typical... ' Hermione thought, rolling her eyes.
Even though they were wearing Slytherin House colors, they still looked magnificent together.
Narcissa and Jane stood in the audience, who was watching them descend from the staircase.
"They look absolutely darling together!" Narcissa exclaimed happily, still watching them closely. She had a big smile on narrow face, so big that the creases it made in her face reached her forehead! Narcissa's outfit consisted of a plum purple dress that reached her ankles. She wore a big purple diamond necklace around her clean neck. Her hair was up in a tight elegant bun that showed off big sophisticated earrings.
Standing next to her, Jane stood curiously watching her daughter. She didn't seem upset that Draco took her to the ball, but wasn't happy about it either, she seemed kind of 'in between.' After a minute of studying, Jane smiled. They did look good together. She had a feeling that they had gotten over their 'absolutely hating each other.'
When the couple reached the bottom of the stairs, Draco led his date to the dance floor.
"Would you like to dance?" he asked politely, extending his hand. Inside his thoughts, he was actually afraid she would say no...
But instead, Hermione answered completely differently, "Sure," she smiled and took his hand.
Draco smiled too, while putting his right hand around her waist, his other hand in hers. Hermione placed her left hand on Draco's shoulder and they started to dance...
I was stained, with a role, in a day, not my own.
And as you walked into my life, you showed what needed to be shown.
I always knew what was right; I just didn't know that I might,
Peel away and choose to see, such a different sight.
They swayed slowly to the music, staring into the other's eyes.
And I will never see the sky the same way,
And I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday,
And I will never cease to fly if held down,
And I will always reach too high cause I've seen,
Cause I've seen twilight.
Hermione's deep amber brown eyes stared deep into Draco's steel blue ones. She bit her lip. She couldn't move even if she wanted to. He had her trapped. All she could see was his eyes, and for some odd reason, that's all she wanted to see.
Never cared, Never wanted, Never sought to see what flaunted,
So on purpose, so in my face.
Couldn't see beyond my own place.
It was so easy not to behold what I could hold.
But you taught me I could change,
Whatever came within these shallow days.
Draco's mind was racing wildly. Her soft brown eyes bore deep into his and he couldn't look away from them. They were so intense and so serious, it was scary.
And I will never see the sky the same way,
And I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday,
And I will never cease to fly if held down,
And I will always reach too high cause I've seen,
Cause I've seen twilight.
Hermione's heart thumped loudly in her chest. 'Why do I feel this way?' she thought, stupidly, 'I mean, he's a Malfoy, for gosh sake!'
As the sun shines through, it pushes away
And pushes ahead.
Feel the warmth of the blue
And leaves a chill instead.
And I didn't know that I could be
But as illusion dies,
I see there is so much to be revealed...
'Shit, I can hear her heart beating. It makes me want to... oh no! I'm not going there...' Draco thought, nervously.
And I will never see the sky the same way,
And I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday,
And I will never cease to fly if held down,
And I will always reach too high cause I've seen,
Cause I've seen twilight.
From the sidelines of the dance floor, their mothers watched on, breathlessly. And I mean, literally, breathlessly. When Draco had asked Hermione to dance, Narcissa choked on her wine in excitement.
I was stained, with a role, in a day, not my own.
And as you walked into my life, you showed what needed to be shown.
I always knew what was right; I just didn't know that I might,
Peel away and choose to see, such a different sight...

The song ended and Draco led Hermione off the dance floor.
Taking her to a table in a nearby corner, he pulled the chair out for her while she sat down and then said, lowly in her ear, "I'm going to go get us something to drink, okay?"
Hermione nodded and with that, he walked off into the crowd. She watched him walk away, concentrating on how he walked. It was so sex--...
Hermione was interrupted by her thoughts by a high squeal that went kind of like "HEY HERMIONE!"
Hermione turned in surprise to see Harry, Ginny, and Ron standing behind her.
She smiled, jumped up and ran to them.
"Oh my goodness!" she exclaimed as she hugged Ginny.
"It's so great to see you all again!" She hugged Harry.
"How has it been?" She asked, giving Ron one last squeeze.
"Great," Harry said, "and Ginny and I have some news for you, Hermione..."
Hermione's brow curved in confusion. "What?" she asked, curiously, and giving Ginny a skeptical look.
Turning her attention again to Harry, he said, "We're getting," he began.
"Married!" squealed Ginny.
Hermione broke into happy tears "I'm so happy for you two!" She cried, giving them each another hug. "But Ginny, don't you have another year at Hogwarts?"
Ginny laughed and nodded. "Yeah, we want to get married next summer."
Hermione smiled back at her. "You guys look great together--" She said, positioning her hands as if framing a picture.
They all laughed, joyously.
Hermione looked at Ron, who had been very quiet. He seemed to be looking at his shoes.
When he noticed that she was looking at him, his ears turned pink.
"Um, Hermione, can I talk to you for a second?" he asked, his ear turning a brighter pink.
Hermione looked hesitant. "Sure... um, just let me tell--, uh, let me tell my mom."
Ron nodded and she walked briskly away.
When Hermione finally found Draco, he was surrounded by other Slytherins.
'Getting drinks, huh?' Hermione thought sarcastically, sort of angry.
"Uh, Malfoy, I'm going to go hang out with Harry, Ron, and Ginny, okay?"
Draco nodded, with a frown.
Hermione smiled. "Okay, I'll see you later."
Draco nodded once more and watched her walk away.
Hermione once again walked up to the trio and said, "Okay, my mom knows."
Ron nodded, and to Hermione's surprise, took her hand and led her out of the ballroom and into the hallway, where he stopped and turned around to face her.
"Listen," he began, his ears turning an even darker shade of pink, "I was wondering if you, if you, would, um, if you would like to be my date—"
"Oh, look! Weasel wants Draco's girl to be to be his date! Ha ha! Fat chance of that happening!"
Both Hermione and Ron turned to face the group of Slytherins.
Blaise Zabini (male in this story), Pansy Parkinson, Crabbe and Goyle, and a bunch of other Slytherins, stood there. All were wearing big smirks across their faces.
"Shut up, Zabini!" Ron hissed, his ears turning a light shade of red.
"No! You shut up, Weasel! You can't have Draco's girl, so you should shut up!"
Ron looked confused and then started to realize that he had just called Hermione 'Draco's girl.'
"'Mione is NOT Malfoy's girl! She hates him and his GUTS!" Ron shouted, madder than a hornet.
"Then," Blaise began, his smirk widening with every word, "why is she here with him tonight? Huh?"
Ron turned to Hermione, who had been unusually quiet through out this whole outrage and said, "You're really here with Malfoy?"
Hermione looked like she was ready to faint.
"Well..." Hermione began, her throat suddenly very dry, "Um..." Her hands felt hot and sweaty against her dress, which she was gripping so tightly that her knuckles were white, "Well, you see..."
"IT'S TRUE, ISN'T IT?!" Ron roared. "I can't believe you! After all he's done to us and to you, and here you, you... you go out with him! You, uh! You SLUT! I can't believe it! Just wait until I tell Harry and Ginny!" He turned on his heel and began to walk away.
"No! Ron, Wait!" Hermione cried, a single tear sliding down her cheek.
"NO! I'm DONE waiting!" Ron bellowed over his shoulder.
"Ron! Please! Let me explain!" Hermione called after him.
Ron didn't answer. He had reached Harry and Ginny, who were standing by the wall, drinking punch.
He started talking to them, angrily, his face dragon-hot red. Hermione studied the other two's faces. Harry's slowly turned red too, but not nearly as red as Ron's. Ginny looked as if she could cry. Ginny's eyes flew over to where Hermione stood, sobbing and leaning on the doorframe for support. Hermione tried to call her over, but Harry grabbed Ginny's hand and guided her out the doors, Ron in front of them.
Hermione felt her eyes flood with tears. She felt them slowly descend down her face as she watched all three of them stalk out the door.
Her eyes were red and puffy from crying. Her shoulders shaking from her sobs and her dress limp from her pulling on it. Her beautiful hair-up do had fallen down; also limp onto her shaking shoulders. Her make-uped, magnificent face was now tear streaked with lines of mascara and eye liner flowing along with her tears.
Her blood turned cold-mad when she heard an all too familiar voice say, "Granger! What's wrong?!"
Hermione turned around to face his steel-blue eyes, which were unusually filled with concern.
"Like you don't know!" Hermione said angrily.
Draco looked confused. "What did I do?"
Hermione gave him a glare to kill. "Go ask your piece of shit friends, you stupid, fucking bastard!" she cried.
And with that, she turned on her heel, and ran off down the hallway, her dress trailing her sorrowly. She ran all the way up the grand staircase and to her room, still bawling.
