i didn't like this chapter...you're not updating frequently enough...you spend too much time giving us authors notes...i don't think any of us give a shit about your sex life...or lack thereof..and the whole thing with Hermione bleeding that's just gross...i dont' know about the rest of your readers but i felt ready to puke...also...Hermione gave her virginity up on a couch? that isn't like her...and its so UN ROMANTIC!! i just think you are losing your touch...sorry but i think most of the readers would agree with me...thanks so much
If any of you have any opinions on that, please share. I'm sorry if I am upsetting many of you out there. But someone did ask me if I have ever had sex, and I thought it was my obligation as an author to answer.
Anyway, even tho 'paris' thinks I do too many Author Notes, I am going to leave some shout-outs.

Shout-Outs:
Potter Head 01-- Wish me a Merry Christmas, I'm Christian not Jewish or anything. And I think it's spelled 'Hahnukah' but i'm not sure. You didn't think I'd ever have Hermione and Draco have sex? Of course I would! lol! They have to! hehe, thanks for your reading, reviewing and wishing my happy holidays!
Qk-- A freakishly good story, eh? Lol thanks! Dumbledork?! how can you not like Dumbledore! he's a brilliant wizard! Except I do not like the new actor who plays Dumbledore in the movies. He just doesn't have the same..."pizazz" as the old one...You're freaking out about doing "it" with your bf? Well, I have heard from my friends who have had sex that it does hurt. Alot. But i don't have first hand experience. All I hope to you is that you are smart about this, and your bf is too. I believe in waiting to have sex until marriage, but i'm not a pastor or your parents so I don't want to "preach" to you. lol. Just be careful! Thanks for your review!
malfoy-rox-- Thanks! I don't think i'm going to have a sequel tho. I already did a trilogy and that was tons of dedicated work! woo! I don't think I could do it again! I do think i'm going to do a story after this one, about Draco and Hermione when they are adults and meet again later on. Not sure tho. Well thanks for your review!
legolasEstelstar-- Hey hun! I'm so glad to see your reviews even tho we talk via emails too! lol! I am a bit confused about one of your comments. You said that you hope Harry and Draco get into a fight because Draco took "his little sister's innocence away" but Harry and Hermione aren't related. Just a little confused! I like your cheer! "Draco! He's our man! If he can't do it, no one can!" hahaha! nice! Well, thanks for your review, i'll talk to ya soon!
minute majesty-- Thank you! Thank you! I'm glad you liked my English lesson, lol!
abbi-- YES! They got together finally, eh?! NO! I'm going to marry Draco! Hermione is lucky isn't he?? Lol. Thanks.
xputteckx-- I thought 'candy canes' was a notable password too! lol! thanks!
greengrl-- The relationship is secret to ALL but Draco Hermione AND Harry remember? Hermione has to tell Harry what happened...right? lol...thanks!
ginny-rules-the-world-- Eminem has a remix? Cool! What is your story called? I'll try it.
jesska-14-- No no Hermione is not pregnant now. I don't know if she will be in the future tho...haven't decided yet. Happy Christmas to you too!
Daniel'sGirl NowNForever-- Hermione is a bit naughty, isn't she? Lol. But Draco's gotten a bit nicer so they balance each other out. hehe.
Chap. 32 The Yule Ball Part I
Hermione and Draco retreated to their room.
'Oh Draco!' Hermione cried once they entered. 'Look! Our flanger plant! It's a red flower! Only one step left before our gnome jumps out!'
'Good, it's about bloody time too.' Draco said restlessly.
'Draco, this is exciting! We are right on time with our project! We are going to get good marks!'
'All you think about is school, isn't it?'
Hermione turned to look at him. Her face had a playful smirk displayed.
'I wasn't thinking about school last night.' She said with a sultry tone.
Draco grinned at her.
'But,' She added, 'we are back at school and I need to water our plant so it can grow more and sprout a gnome.'
Draco groaned and threw himself onto the couch.
'Fine…fine…do what you must.' Draco drawled as he stretched.
'Draco…what are we going to do about the Yule Ball?'
'What do you mean?' he asked, 'You aren't going on about those berries I ate are you?! We picked more!'
'No, no, Draco!' Hermione laughed, 'I mean, what are we going to do about dates for the dance. We can't go together. Only Harry knows about us…'
'Oh. I hadn't thought about that yet.'
'Maybe we can say that Dumbledore made us go alone because we are Head Students, that way we can say no to anyone who might ask us.' Hermione said.
'Or, oh-smart-one we can say Dumbledore made us go together to show school "unity".'
'No, Draco. It will be too much temptation for you. If we go together we will have to pretend to hate each other, and if you get on that dance floor with that fast, bump 'n' grind music you will not control your hormones.'
Draco laughed and lifted himself from the couch. He walked up to Hermione.
'What do you mean control my hormones to fast bump 'n' grind music?' Draco asked.
He grabbed Hermione by her waist and pulled her hips to his body.
'Do you mean, I couldn't resist to do…this?' He asked as he brushed his manhood across her womanly…area.
'Draco…' she sighed sternly, pushing him away. 'That's EXACTLY what I meant.'
'Oh. Ok. Just making sure.' He grinned.
Hermione rolled her eyes at him and grabbed a cup of water to pour into their plant.
'So, what do you want to do about it?' Hermione asked again.
'I think my idea is the best. We go together, saying it's forced. That way we're protected from other people whom might as us, probably ask me, to the dance. Also, we can make teachers happy, and get at least one dance in maybe. Slow dance. No grinding.'
'Draco, we can only do this if we can be good actors.'
'I'll have you know that I played a main male part in a play my younger years at the Lourve Private Boarding School for Young Wizards and Witches.'
'Oh really? Whom did you play?' Hermione asked, very interested.
'Umm…it doesn't matter whom, it just matters is that I am a great actor.' He said sophisticatedly.
'Oh c'mon Draco, whom did you play?'
'I played an important tole.'
'Which was?'
'Fine fine I was an understudy for the main role! But I still had to learn the part!'
Hermione smiled.
'So you didn't act in front of people?'
'No…' He said, turning red.
'Draco, it's not that big of a deal. Don't be embarrassed.'
'I'm not.' Draco shot back, still red.
'Okay, baby.' Hermione said unbelieving.
--
It was a day before the dance. Hermione and Harry were in Hogsmeade together finding dress clothes for the ball.
'Harry, I think you would look great in this suit, and Ginny would love it!' Hermione explained holding up a white silk dress suit, with a blue tie.
'You think so?' Harry asked looking over the suit.
'Oh yes! And the tie will look great with your eyes!'
'Wow, I'm glad I have you here for me. I would have ended up getting like a brown suit or something.'
Hermione laughed.
'So, have you found anything that strikes your fancy for the ball?' Harry asked her.
'Not yet.'
'You're going with Malfoy right?' Harry asked hesitantly.
'Yes…but we are going to pretend that Dumbledore forced us to go together.'
'And you'll behave?' Harry asked with a smirk.
'Yes.'
'Are you sure? Because I did walk in on you two in your common room that one night…'
Hermione swallowed nervously.
'Something bothering you, 'Mione?' Harry asked.
'Umm…Harry? I have something to tell you. About Draco and me.'
'What? Is it bad? Am I going to have to beat up Malfoy?'
'I hope you won't want to. But you might. But you can't!'
'Hermione, just tell me. It can't be that bad. You aren't a bad girl.'
Hermione started to cry.
'Hermione! What's wrong?' Harry asked, grabbing her shoulders. 'You can tell me everything.'
'Draco and I…' She whispered. 'Draco and I…when we went to get Olibover berries for Dumbledore, after when we got to the cabin, Draco and I…we…'
Harry's eyes widened and his arms fell from her shoulders.
'No. You didn't! With Malfoy?!' He asked incredulously.
'Harry, please don't get mad.'
'I-I-I am not mad. Just a little shocked. You're Hermione. My Hermione who is innocent…was…'
'Harry, I love Draco and he loves me. It just happened.'
'I understand. If Ginny and I were alone in a cabin I guess I don't think I'd be able to hold back my hormones either.' He sighed. 'He didn't…I mean…you wanted to do it right?'
'Yes, Harry. Draco didn't rape me.'
'Well, it is Malfoy. I didn't know. I had to make sure.'
Hermione wiped her eyes and laughed.
'You aren't mad?'
'No. I guess not. Just a bit freaked.'
'I can handle that.' She smiled.
Harry suddenly looked up at something that caught his eye.
'Wow Hermione! That dress is beautiful!'
Hermione looked up and smiled again.
'I think we found the one.'
--
Hermione was with Ginny in the Gryffindor girls' room.
'You girls look great!' Hermione exclaimed after they put on their gowns.
'Hermione, where ever did you find that dress?' Lavender asked.
'Well, actually Harry found it for me.' Hermione laughed.
'Really?' Ginny asked in surprise.
'Wow! Your man has good taste!' Parvati cried.
'Well, of course Harry does!' Hermione laughed. 'Look who he asked out!'
Ginny blushed.
'Thanks.'
The girls proceeded to get ready.
--
'Drake, my man, I like the suit!' Blaise shouted as he strolled into Draco's room.
Draco was buttoning his white dress shirt.
'How'd you get in here?' Draco asked.
'Oh. Umm…well, Potter knew the password, told his little girlie red-head Weasley, Weasley told Patil, Patil told Lavi, whom told me.'
'Lavi?' Draco asked. 'Oh. Brown. I forgot you are dating her now aren't you?'
'Well, we've fucked a few times…and we're going to the dance together. Does that count?' Blaise asked straightening his tie in Draco's mirror.
'Yeah. I'd say that counts.' Draco smirked, putting on his overcoat.
'Ya know what Granger looks like tonight, fucker?' Blaise asked.
'No. Do you??' Draco asked looking at him suspeciously.
'Yeah. I went to go see Lavi and I saw Granger and the other girls getting ready. But Lavi made me swear not to tell you that I couldn't tell you anything. All I can say is…WOW! THAT GRANGER IS A FUCKING FINE BABE!'
Draco punched Blaise jokingly.
'Hey, that's Granger whom you are speaking suggestively about.' Draco replied.
Blaise laughed.
'I know.'
He then turned to go out the door.
'I'll see you at the ball. I gotta go pick up Lavi.'
'Tell Granger I'll meet her down there.'
'Alright. I'll be happy to tell "the babe".'
'Watch it.'
'Just kidding fucker. Hurry up.'
Then Blaise left and Draco finished getting his sexy body dressed.
