Chapter 10
He returned shortly after, caring a small velvet box.
"What's that?" growled Hermione.
"Something for you." He said calmly. She blinked several times and then looked back at him.
"Why for me?" she asked with curiosity.
"It should help me teach you… here put it on." He handed her the box and she opened it carefully. Inside the box was a simple necklace. It was made of a single small orb that you could hardly see, for it was so crystal clear and a lovely silver chain supported the orb. She put it on and the orb immediately fogged over with a greenish color. Draco looked down at a small slip of paper and muttered something.
"What?" asked Hermione.
"Huh…oh nothing… the orb displays emotion. That green color is curiosity." He responded.
"Oh… that makes sense…" she said looking a bit confused. The orb changed onto a thick dark gray and Draco laughed.
"What now?"
"Confusion." He stated simply. "Now why don't we go on with the year?"
"Fine with me…"
He explained what happed after he pushed her in the room and she laughed for almost an hour when he told her about the blanket. He explained how caring she was to him after that, that he decided to be a little nicer to her when she needed it. He told her about the night when they kissed and why and she was a little confused about Ron liking pansy. He then told her how conservative she was and that he admired her for it. He explained their fights and make-ups, and how Ginny and Harry were together as well. Hermione sat in silence for a long time her face was contorted in thought and she would some times mutter to herself. After a while she stood up and shouted at Draco telling him layoff and mind his own business. Then she started crying and apologizing for being so rude. Mood swing after mood swing until she collapsed on the floor.
Draco rushed to her side and bushed away the hair in her face.
"Granger? Are you ok?" he asked setting her up on his lap. She blinked a few times and nodded.
"Thank you." She said snuggling into his chest. He smiled.
"Well I couldn't have made it without you Hermione." He said. She looked up at him and kissed him gently on the lips.
"I've been wanting to do that for a while." She said with a sheepish grin. He laughed and pulled her back into a more passionate kiss.

The next few days passed by quickly and before they knew it was time for the hogsmeade trip for that dance. Hermione and Ginny were in the three broomsticks chatting about the dresses they had just bought.
"You looked great Hermione I don't see why you don't like it!" complained Ginny.
"Its just too… showy, that's all."
"Nonsense! You just can't stand to ware anything below… the neck!"
"Fine… I'll ware it… but that's only because I like the color!"
Night of the dance
Hermione primed and primped for more than an hour with Ginny. Her blue sleeveless dress flowed from chest to floor with glittering beauty. Ginny had put her hair in a loose bun at the top of her head and had put in silver and blue sparkles. Hermione smiled as she looked into the mirror at the finished product.
"It looks great gin, thanks!" she said jumping out of the chair. Ginny laughed.
"No prob. Looks better than you normally do I can tell you that!" she teased.
"I hope you joking…" said Hermione.
"I was! Jeez…"
They walked down to the great hall could smell warm aroma of hot chocolate.
"Hey." Came a deep seductive voice behind them. Hermione twirled around to face Draco. She smiled and they linked arms. Ginny ran past them to meet up with Harry. When they entered, they all gasped the decorations were amazing. The weird sisters were playing and some of the forth years were dancing. Pansy and Ron made a lovely couple, dancing and laughing as if they had not a care in the world. Hermione stopped and smiled as she saw madam Rose and professor Snape danced. She was in and elegant evening gown and Snape was in a tux. Honestly she thought he cleaned up quite nicely. A slow song started up and Hermione and Draco danced their harts out. Felling as if she were on a cloud, Hermione stopped dancing and asked for a break.
"Gladly," breathed Draco, "I thought you would never stop, my feet hurt." Hermione laughed and head for the punch when the window caught her eye.
"Draco look," she pointed out, "its snowing!" he walked up and gazed out. Something caught his eye and swallowed hard.
"Hermione, come with me." He pulled her to out to the hallway and looked her deep in the eyes. "Promise me that no matter what happens you will always feel the same way I feel about you." He started.
"What is this all about Draco?" she asked unsure what this meant.
"Hermione… I couldn't help it you that I would never really choose this path…"
"Draco?"
"Hermione…" he swallowed "I'm a death eater…"
