Summery: it's the beginning of 7th year and there's a new class in school. Dance Class! What will
happen when the brainy (soon to be) gorgeous Griffindor and the sexy Slytherin are paired up for the
entire year of dance class together? Will the claws come out or will sparks fly? And a question I don't
even know the answer to..what''s with his scary nightmares? Draco/Hermione @~^~ (1st fanfic ever,
seriously.)
Disclaimer: None of the harry potter people are mine. None of the harry potter ideas are mine. I sooo
wish Draco were though. such a hotty-mick-hot-hot!
Quick Note: In my story. Padama and Parvati are both in Gryffindor house. B/c if I'm not mistaken one of
them is in Ravenclaw. Oh well. Enough talk. On with the story!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 2: Warm Welcome Back~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Herm!" I fell out the train door after hearing my name being called from out,"Whoa! You ok?"
There many ways to make an entrance to Hogwarts. You could pull the whole driving a flying car into the
Whomping Willow or you could go the Hermione way by falling off a train in front of the whole school.
I could definitely feel the color and heat start to rise to my face as I rose to my feet, trying my best not to
look anyone in the eye,
"I'm fine, Ron, thanks. Just lost my footing." I muttered,"Where's Harry?" Ron grinned as they both
started walking to the carriages,
"He finally asked Cho out and my guess is that they're probably swapp''n-spit in their own carriage."
I rolled my eyes and shook my head. A gesture that Ron would call my trade mark. Tutting at him and
Harry all the time and shaking my head. But still you can't say they don't deserve it sometimes,
"Charming, Ron, real charming." Ron chuckled turning a rosy pink as they both climbed into a carriage.
But then all at once Ron's face turned into a look of loathing and disgust. Because sitting right across
from them was Draco and his two cronies Crabbe and Goyle. The tension between Draco and Ron was
thick enough to slice through with a knife, I guess you could say.
To me Draco looked completely different now to when we were sharing the compartment. Now, I could
feel the iciness of his heart radiating off his stone cold body.
Then, it had been like he was the victim off a nightmare and that he had fears just like me, Ron, or
Harry.
And for a second Draco broke away from his glare to Ron, to look straight in my eyes. In them I saw
pain. Pure pain. But like I said it was for just a second. For all I know it could have just been my mind.
Because the next second the little prick ( not really so little since his body had been well toned thanks to
Quidditch) had to open his big mouth, " Lookin' foul as usual, Weasly. I see you still got that dirt on your
nose from first year." Ron scowled. Crabb and Goyle chuckled dumbly.
I simply don't get it why men let these sort of things get to them. Draco didn't stop there, "So how's the
family, Weasel? Oh ya! That's right I forgot! Your dad got fired, didn't he? Do you still have that wack job
house? I wouldn't be surprised if you had to sell it for a Galleon. Not that it's much of a house."
Ron looked livid. I looked down to Ron's side and saw that his clenched fists were now a pure white. Oh
no...
But no Malfoy wouldn't stop there either, "Say is your mother still the size of a cow, Weasel?" Ron leaped
at Malfoy with the ultimate rage yelling," I'm gonna take this from you this year Ferretboy!!"
And in less then a second Ron was on top of Malfoy throwing his fists down into Malfoy's stomach and
face. Crabb and Goyle fiercely tried to pull Ron off of their leader. But Ron easily through them off and
started punching him again. It was my turn to do something.
I wanted to get Ron off of Malfoy. It I had a sick feeling it wasn't just because I didn't Ron to get in
trouble. Taking a deep breath I grabbed Ron and started pulling on his robes. That did no good
whatsoever.
But just then Malfoy was getting into the game and threw a powerful blow to Ron's jaw. This single punch
threw Ron back into his seat. Whoa! He's pretty strong - Not that, that matters at all...
Ron glared at Malfoy who was massaging his knuckles. Ron lept again. And again Malfoy was on the
ground getting the living day lights punched out of him. That's it!!!
"Immobulus!!!" I cried pointing my wand at the brawl. That's when everything seemed to go into slow
motion except for me. With that I shoved my wand in my robe pocket and pulled Ron off of Malfoy with a
lot more difficulty then I would have expected. The whole time Ron's and Malfoy's eyes following me. As
for Crabb and Goyle, they just stared stupidly into space.
When it came time to move Malfoy as far away from Ron I was a little hesitant of even touching him. But
thought better and dragged him back so that he was propped up by the seat behind him. I looked down at
Malfoy's bruised face. There was a little blood trickling from his lip and a few blooming brusies. And the
same pitying feeling from the train came back to me
After I set the two appart I gave my wand a flick of the wrist and the spell dropped, "What the hell did you
do that for?!" shouted Ron the second the spell was gone.
"What do you mean?" I asked innocently," I...I just didn't want you to get in trouble, Ron." I looked down
as Ron narrowed his eyes at me. Slowly I raised my eyes to meet Malfoy's. I guess he might have been
puzzled as to why I would stop Ron beating him up.
But that look, again, was quickly covered as the carredge came to a stop and Malfoy struggled to get to
his feet. Crabb and Goyle tried to help him but he pushed them away,
"Get off you oafs!" He walked right over to me. A couple of inches was all that was between his face and
mine. I could practically feel his warm breath on my cheeks. An right then it seemed like no one existed
except Draco and me. Like Ron, Crabb, or Goyle were not there.
Draco's silver blue eyes scanned my face and finally trailed up to my eyes. I couldn't breath. I couldn't do
anything but look back into his eyes. What is wrong with me? Stop looking at him! It's as simple as that!
Just look away! Look away. Any second now Hermione...like now! The ends of Malfoy's lips curled up
into a half grin. It's a spell. It has to be.
His annoyingly hansome grin turned into his annoying trademark sneer as he pushed pass me and
stummbled out of the carriedge.
I slid out of the carriedge extremely annoyed with everyone and everything even myself-especially
myself. How could I be so weak as to practically give into a stupid thing like Draco's eyes. Pull it together
Hermione.
"Prick." I muttered under my breath, directing the name to Draco's back. Ron heard and remarked
jumping out of the carriedge beside me, "You should have let me beat the bastard."
"I should have...so why didn't I?" But Ron wasn't listening. Typical. Instead he was peering over the
crowd to that friend of Cho's from the train.
"Listen, Herm girl, I'll see you in the Great Hall. Got some bussiness to tend to." I nodded only half
listening to him,
"Sure, whatever." As I started to the Great Hall I couldn't stop thinking about Malfoy's weird dream in
train and those seconds where he was so close to my face. But then out of the corner of my eye I caught
a glimps of a oldish women with bright red robes and greying red hair.
Must be a new teacher. She was staring at me funny. Like she knew something about me. Had she seen
me cursing at Malfoy? Oh great. A perfect way to start off the year with a new teacher. But she simply
smiled and walked on guidin gthe students up to the Great Hall.
Then Padma and Parvati came from behind squealing like mad, making me practically forget all about
the woman
"Hey Hermsie!!" Parvati and Padma said in unison. Hermsie? What the hell? Whatever.
"Hey, you guys. What's up?" They both began to giggle like mad,
"Nothing much.....ONLY THAT HOTTEST GUY IS OPEN NOW!!!!!" screamed Padma making the
standers by turn their heads to face us. Padma didn't seem to notice or care,
"Or one of the hottest guys." added Parvati, " I wouldn't mind getting my hands on Potter..." Padma
elbowed Parvati in the side and snapped, "You know he's only got eyes for Cho!"
Parvati blushed and mummbled, "Dare to dream, right?" I rolled my eyes at the sisters. Padma drummed
her fingers on her lower lip, "Now where was I...?"
I helped out, " Something about hottest guy now open?"
"Right!!" squealed Padama, "Well anyway, he just broke up with Pansy Parkinson! And he's-"
"Wait! Who are we talking about?" I asked utterly perplexed. They can't be talking about-
"Draco Malfoy!!" squealed Parvarti
"Duh!" added Padma. I obviously couldn't hide my disgust as we walked into the Great Hall and took our
seats across from Ron, Cho's friend, Cho, Harry, and Dean. Padma and Partvarti sat on either side of
me. Parvarti nudged me and said, "Come on, Hermsie. You have to admitt he is very cute."
"Do I, now? I don't think so." I sanpped without meaning to be harsh. Padma shrugged, "Whatever you
say, Hermsie."
Before the anouncments took place, Parvarti and Padma looked dreamily over at Malfoy at the Slyitherin
table. And to my annoyence, so were most of the girls in the school. Gross.
Dumbledore stood up at the high table with his half moon glasses at the tip of his nose, "Welcome back
to Hogwarts and for those of you that are new here...simply, welcome. I hope you all had a nice trip over
here,"
Not really...
"As most of you have heard, there will be a new class this year. Dance." he took this moment to chuckle
to himself," I would like to introduce you to the Dance teacher, Miss Shnopsie."
The students giggled and clapped politely as the old women, that I had seen after I got out of the
carriages, stood up wearing bright red robe with yellow stripes, with greying red hair,
"I am honored to be working here at Hogwarts as your dance teacher. I can assure you all that you will all
enjoy my class. For those of you that dance with grace, I will help you grow better. For those who's feet
have a mind of their own, I shall teach you to tame them. And for those of you who have two left
feet.....good luck." She winked at the students as some let out a giggles,
"I have arranged the partnering myself and have you know that you all will be partnered according to
your age and sex only. The different houses will make no difference to me. A Ravenclaw may be paired
up with a Gryffindor,"
Harry and Cho looked at each other adoringly, "A Gryffindor with a Slytherin,." Padma and Parvarti and a
bunch of the other students sighed deeply while looking over at Malfoy (who didn't seem to see any of
them).
Miss Shnopsie went on beaming at the students, " I have a feeling that this year will be very interesting
based on the characters I have seen tonight..."
Just then Miss Shnopsie's eyes landed right on me. Whoa! Freaky! Miss Shnopsie turned back to
Dumbledore and sat down with a warm smile.
Dumbledore stood up and said, "Now...eat." In front of all the students appeared golden plates and rows
of foods of all sorts.
"What are we talking about, then?" Ron asked while stuffing a roll into his mouth. Padma and Partarti
weren't listening so I just said in what I hoped was a nonchalant voice,
"They're just going crazy over, Ferretboy." Ron looked disgusted. Suddenly Padma said dreamily,
"I hope I'm paired up with Draco." Parvarti glared, "Why would he be paired up with you Padma?" Padma
glared right back. Ron rolled his eyes.
Harry took a sip of pumpkin juice before saying, "I know who I want to be paried up with..." he looked
longingly at Cho as she stared back with the same feelings, "Aw... Harry." Cho closed in the little space
between them. And they started to make out. Who would have guessed
Ron scooted away from the love birds and closer to Dean. Ron accidently bumped into him while he was
downing his pumpkin juice. Dean wiped his mouth and looked at Ron and said sarcastically,"Ron. Geeze,
I know I'm devilishly hansom but you shouldn't express your feelings in public like this." It was an
immature comment but I couldn't help laughing just a bit.
Dean took a bite of the steak that was in front of him before saying, "Wouldn't it be funny if Hermione got
put together with Malfoy, for Dance class?"
"No!" I barked
"Shut up, Dean." Snapped Padma
Parvarti rolled her eyes "Like that'll happen."
