~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Recap- D- "What was the gift?"
Hermione felt a cold shiver run down her spine when she read the next part; Draco saw this and asked her to read it.
H- "The gift was the ability to talk to snakes or in other words, Parseltongue"
D- "Wait so that means that. . ."
H- Yes that's exactly what it means; Voldemort is the Demi-god"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~**~*~*~~**~*~
Over the next couple of weeks Hermione was starting to get the hang of her new power. She would sometimes use it on Malfoy whenever he was in her way or took to long in the shower, by switching the knobs to cold. She was also happy that now she was one step ahead of Draco. Sure he could use his powers internally, but that just means his ice power is greater, it doesn't mean it's a new power. Hermione also didn't tell anyone about her power because she feared others wouldn't understand. The only person she could confine in was Draco, which wasn't that good either. She was also top in her class along side Draco, but she knew she could maintain her status. It was about 7:30 am, on Saturday, when Hermione decided to get up. She quickly got dressed and went downstairs to find Draco waiting for her. She took notice to this and decided to find out what he was up to.
"Hey Hermione, I can't believe your late I told you I meet you down here at 7:30, it's almost 8:00" Draco said. Hermione gave him a baffled look and didn't understand what he meant. Draco slicked his hair back and then crossed his arms over his chest.
"You do remember do you?" Draco asked. Hermione shook her head no and Draco went on to explain.
"Head boy and Head girl meeting, today, with Dumbledore, at 8:00 am" Draco said slowly. Hermione put her hands up to her mouth. She completely forgot about it, how stupid of her.
"I completely forgot I have to go back up to get something" Hermione said. She began walking towards the stairs when she remembered she could just call for it. She thought about it coming to her really hard and a few seconds later, a piece of paper came floating down the stairs. She grabbed and ran towards the portrait hole, where Draco was waiting for her.
"Ok I'm ready to go" she said and they walked together to Dumbledore's office. As they walked they heard first years scream and was worried for a second but then they heard Peeves voice scaring them. They started to laugh at this, as they reached Dumbledore's office.
"Candy Cane" Hermione said. The stairs started to rise up and Draco and Hermione jumped on it together. They reached the top and knocked on the door. A friendly 'come in' sounded from the door and they went inside. As they walked in they saw a friendly Fawkes standing on his stool while Dumbledore was petting him.
"Did you finish the plans Miss Granger?" Dumbledore asked. Hermione held out the piece of paper from her hand and gave it to the professor.
"Yes we finished all the plans for the Christmas Ball, it shall be formal where and you must bring a date" Hermione said. Dumbledore looked over the parchment and nodded his head.
"Excellent work, now what about the 4th years and under? What do you have planned for them?" Dumbledore asked. Draco took a step forward and answered his question.
"4th years and under will have a Spring Ball in March, while we have our Winter Ball in December" Draco said. Dumbledore was silent for a moment as to process all the data and nodded his head in agreement.
"Splendid idea, now you two shall go together of course and the prefects shall go together as well and how do you plan others to pick their dates?" Dumbledore asked.
"They shall choose who they wish to" Draco said as if he was straining the sentence. Hermione looked over at Draco and told him mentally to just drop it.
"That is all for now, the teachers and I will arrange for all the decorations to be done, the next prefect meeting will be in one month for now, have a good day" Dumbledore said. Hermione and Draco both left together and walked down the hallway, back to their dormitories. As they entered the common room, Draco sat on the couch and leaned his head back while Hermione sat on the other couch. There was along period of silence before Hermione spoke up.
"Well since it is along time before the ball maybe we should get some early shopping done so when we go everything won't be sold out" she said. Draco turned over on his stomach and looked at her.
"Today is not a scheduled day to go, remember Granger" Draco said. Hermione gave a devilish smirk. Draco was taken back by it and wanted to know what she was thinking.
"We could use the secret passage nobody knows about it, except for me, Harry, Ron, George, and Fred, and the Maurders, so it's safe to go" she said while quickly grabbing her sack of money and grabbing Malfoy by the wrist.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They were walking down the passage way into Hogsmeade, it was a funny sight to see because Draco was so shocked about the secret passage way.
"So this is how Potter got into Hogsmeade" Draco said. Hermione nodded her head and kept on going. They reached to door and Hermione opened slightly to make sure no one was around. She opened it all the way and jumped out of the whole. While she was fixing her robes Draco jumped out and started to dust off the dust.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It seemed like they were walking for hours and Draco already found his tux, his shoes, and just about everything while Hermione could find nothing. Finally they were arriving at the last dress store in Hogsmeade all the in the back by the hills. Hermione walked a little bit faster trying to make it there.
"Draco I'm gonna be in here for a while, go ahead to the ice cream parlor and wait for me there" Hermione screamed out. Draco just nodded his head and walked the other direction.
2 HOURS LATER
*Come on Hermione did you find a dress yet?* Draco asked mentally.
*Yes I'm paying for it right now*
*It better be a good dress, since you spent 3 hours searching for it*
*It is trust me, I was astounded they had it in my size*
*You give a new meaning to 'shop till you drop' Come on it's getting late I'll meet you by Honeydukes*
*Ok*
Draco paid for his ice cream float and walked out. He waited by Honeydukes for five minutes when he saw Hermione carrying bags of merchandise. Draco couldn't believe she pent all that money for a Winter Ball, but he guessed it was important to her. She carried all the bags but it looked she had no trouble at all. He then looked closely to see that the bag handle wasn't even touching her hand. He smirked and walked down to the cellar, where they returned back to Hogwarts.
