Chapter 5: Break Me

"Doesn't everyone call you that?" Draco lied, blushing. He couldn't BELIEVE he had just spilled his little name for her OUTLOUD.

Hermione frowned. "Uh, my Mom?" She had to keep herself from laughing at Draco's face, never had she seen a Malfoy blush.

"Do you have a problem with it?" He asked, trying to turn the light on someone other than him.

"No, actually, I like it better."

"Speaking if getting ready…." He smirked.

"Gone!" She yelled racing up to her room, and slamming the door behind her.

"Merlin, I love that girl." He said smiling. WHOA. He thought, I did NOT just say that. Something is SO wrong with me. He smacked his head against the wall, as if it would rid some kind of affection out of his head. Realizing what he was doing, he headed upstairs to figure himself out for tonight.

Hermione rummaged through her closet. No, no, no, definitely not, maybe, no. ERRR. What was she going to be? She couldn't be anything stupid. It's not as if she was going to dress up as a cat or something. Crap. 5:30.
She yelled downstairs. "DRACO! IM GONNA HAVE TO MEET YOU DOWN THERE, IM SO NOT READY AND HEADS MEET DOWN THERE NOW! TELL THEM IM NOT FEELING WELL BUT WILL BE DOWN FOR THE DANCE! THANK YOU!"

"OKAY!" he yelled up the stairs. He sighed. Now he wasn't going to know what she looked like.

So it was against what Dumbledore had said, so what? She couldn't find anything, so she used a little magic. She was sure she wouldn't be the only one. Hurriedly she tied her hair back in a bun to keep it off her face while she put on her makeup. Firstly she put black eyeliner on, right up tight to her eyelashes, not for her usual dark look, just to make her eyes look huge. Then she took silver and smeared it right from her lid all the way up to her brow and out into a peak from the corner of her eye. She pulled black mascara out as far as she could. Hermione's lashes were inhumanly long. 'Perfect' she thought. She took a bit of shimmery powder and smeared it up her chiseled cheekbones. She just put on a bit of chapstick to make her lips look pouty, she wasn't going to fuss. She pulled out her hair and scrunched it up with some gel to make it extra wavy, and lengthened it a bit with her handy dandy magic. How she loved being a witch. Hermione raced across her room and pulled on her dress. Shimmery navy material, silky and fell on her perfectly. It was strapless, simple in the front, and in the back- what back? It was all open and has criss-crossing laces ending up low on her hips. The shear skirt finished just below her knee, the torn-looking pieces coming down on an angle. Her favourite part was pulling on her wings. I wont describe them, just think of the most beautiful wings you can, silvery and blue and gorgeous, and a tiny mask of navy blue that slipped right over her nose. Even her image in the mirror surprised herself. She pulled on tiny transparent heels and hurried down the halls, it was already quarter after seven.

Draco settled himself next to a speaker blasting out some sort of rap. What kind of crap were they going to play here? He had magically made his hair black and pressed it into a fauxhawk with a ton of gel. He had one of those Phantom Of The Opera half face masks on, and wore a black tight longsleeve sweater. He had baggy black Dickies on and a stunning silver belt. Around his neck was a huge necklace designed like a large silver snake. He stood out compared to all the others. Dogs and cats, some angels and devils, a few attempts at goth and that was about the vast majority. He was tired of waiting for Hermione and was about to go find her when everyone stopped. Including the DJ. The girl looked embarrassed and held her head low, looking for someone to hide away with away from this leering crowd. She was stunning. All blue and silvers, one heck of a fairy if he said so himself. When the music started again she was pushed from guy to guy against her will, and she tried to press out of the mob. Draco hurried to be next in line, not so he could hold her for one minute but to take her away from everyone else. When she came face to face with him she smiled. He grabbed he around the waist and her smile faded, he grabbed her hand and pushed through the crowd and out through a door onto a balcony.

"You okay?" he asked, full of concern.

Her smile reappeared. "Thanks to you."

He noticed his hand was still on her waist and his other in her warm hand. He made no attempt to move either. She moved in closer to him, loving the smell and the warmth that he radiated, and leaned against his shoulder.

"You know, I came here to dance." She said playfully.

"And I intend on doing that with you." He said smiling at her, the first real smile since…he couldn't think about Hermione now, he didn't even know where she was. He took the hand he was holding, kissed it gently and led her back into the Great Hall, all eyes were on the stunning pair. He twirled her around, so her back was to him and he placed his hand protectively on her hips, and they began to sway to the music.

"I never thought I'd change my
Opinion again
But you moved me in a way that I've
Never known
You moved me in a way that I've
Never known

But straight away you just moved
Into position again
You abused me in a way that I've
Never known
You abused me in a way that I've
Never knownSo break me shake me hate me
Take me over
When the madness stops then you
Will be alone
Just break me shake me hate me
Take me over
When the madness stops then you
Will be alone

So you're the kind who deals with the
Games in the mind
Well you confuse me in a way that
I've never known
You confuse me in a way that I've
Never known

She says I can help you but what
Do you say
But it's not free baby you'll have
To pay
You just keep me contemplating that
Your soul is slowly fading

God don't you know that I live with a ton
Of regret
'cause I used to move you in a way that
You've never known
But then I accused you in a way that
You've never known
But you hurt me in a way that I've
Never known

Break me shake me hate me take
Me over
When the madness stops then you
Will be alone
So won't you break me shake me
Hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you
Will be alone

Listen baby
You'll be you'll be alone

Break me shake me hate me take
Me make me
Fake me break me shake me hate
Me take me
Break me.
