I wish I was rich and famous, and the author of Harry Potter, but I'm not. I don't own anything. I'm just a fan using my imagination and the characters of J.K. Rowling to make a story she didn't. Any questions?

The time seemed to pass really fast for both Hermione and Blaise. Both of them were worried about what was going to happen and what they will say to each other. Hermione has dated before, just not as much as other girls in her age. Before the change that occurred to her appearance over the summer, she wasn't really pretty, or at least didn't care about how she looked, with her bushy hair sticking out in all places, and her nose stuck in her books wherever she went, she wasn't really Miss England. At least, this year would was different. She was now in her room with one of her best friends, Ginny, who was helping her to decide what she should wear. She also did a little makeup for Hermione.

"Mione, I really don't get it. I mean we've been friends since your second year at Hogwarts, and we've told each other everything. Now when some prince charming has asked you on a date, you don't want to tell me who it is. It's not like it's the ferret, what are you so afraid of?" Ginny asked her friend. Sometimes she was worried that her friend was more interested in books, than boys. Sure, it was a plus to be smart, but she needed a social life too for Merlin's sake!

"Ginny, you have to trust me on this one. No it's not the ferret. EWW! Are you out of your mind? It's not even a date" she assured her friend. Deep inside she hoped it was a date though. Sure he didn't tell her to meet him on a 'date'. He told her to meet him at 7.00, though; it was kind of like a date then. No matter what it was she wanted to look her best. With the help of her friend, who knew just as much about make up as Hermione about her studies, she truly looked stunning.

Hermione's chocolate colored eyes were brought out more with the black eyeliner she now wore, her lips looked as if they were glowing in the moonlight light with the clear lip-gloss that Ginny applied to her lips, and her hair was set out in free careless locks that were still maintained and kept in a stunning way. She wore tight low- cut jeans that showed her curves, and a cute baby pink top that reveled a little of her stomach. Not a lot, but still some of her flat stomach showed.

"Wow, Herms! You were pretty before, now your perfect! Who ever the guy is he won't be able to take his off of you. You still won't tell me who he is will you?" she tried again.

"I will Gin, just not now." Hermione said quietly as she stared at her reflection in the huge mirror that stood in her room. She was so scared to meet Blaise, thinking that it might have been another of the Slytherin jokes; she almost stayed in her dorm. Ginny didn't let her though.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the castle in the cold dungeons Blaise was with his best bud, Draco, asking him how he looked. Which surprised both of the boys a lot because Blaise always looked good no matter what he wore, and he never cared about looking nice around girl anyway. His ways around any girl would be to bed her and then dump her.

"Listen Blaise; just don't fall in love with her ok? No matter what, she's still a mudblood and mudbloods are lower than us, much lower, they belong with the dirt." Draco told his friend. Somehow, even he wasn't so sure about this with Granger. She changed. A lot. She was too pretty for her own good.

"I don't care what you say Malfoy, I was brought up differently, my parents could careless about blood. About falling in love, you must be really blind mate, I already did." Blaise said in a whisper. He was afraid that Hermione didn't feel the same way. He wouldn't let it show though. He was a Slytherin, if not for her, he'd still be an asshole who dumped every girl he ever crossed his path. "I better get going, wouldn't want my precious thing waiting." With that he left, having Draco staring at him. Again, wishing he was more like his friend. Wishing he had feelings. Even though he didn't let this cross his mind now, he was wishing Hermione wasn't Blaise's. He knew his friend too well, and knew that she would be his after tonight. He even called her '"his" precious thing' already.

The night was beautiful. It was really warm, for this part of the year, and the moon reflected beautifully in the lake. Hermione, who was afraid to be late, even though she was never late, that she left early. Now she was sitting by the lake caught up in her thoughts about the green eyed Slytherin. She was woken from her thoughts when the same green eyes were caught with her brown eyes and Blaise smiled. Blaise then sat beside her never leaving her eyes, and they sat there looking at each other in silence. Finally, Blaise broke the silence, "I was worried you wouldn't come." He said truthfully and in a whisper.

"I was worried you wouldn't." Hermione answered and looked at her hands. She felt very uncomfortable. Here she was, with the hottest guy in school after Draco, of course, and he was talking to her, he was afraid that she wouldn't come. It was just too weird. It was like a dream. If it was a dream, she didn't want to wake up from it.

After another awkward moment Blaise started again, "I have to be honest with you," he said and Hermione looked at him with horror thinking how stupid she was and how she was right that this was a joke. When he continued saying, "I like you, I like you a lot." And looked away she smiled and took his hand in his and answered him truthfully, "I like you, too."
