In this chapter a made a Winter ball instead of a Christmas Ball because some of my friends don't celebrate Christmas(I do).

I know it took me a long time to get this chapter up. I wrote it all up in about a week BUT my brother thought it would be funny if he deleted it...I might have done some things to deserve it, but still...Anyway I'm really sorry it took so long. But here it is!

Thank you to my reviewers: Bitchgoddess, pyro, babyraccoon2, dmhg, KitsuneNeko, Dreamaker13, annon well wisher, bobalina, hermionemalfoy18, xOxOkIsSmYaSsXoXo, DizzyDawn007, Selfhatred, Miranda, LunaMarshal, and FlairVernona.

Now to the story you've all been waiting for...Drum roll please...ta-da!

When she reached the statue of the gargoyle she realized she didn't know the password. Oh Bloody Hell! Her already mad mood had just intensified. She heard footsteps behind her, turning around she saw Draco coming up behind her. Oh Shit... she thought.

"Listen Granger..." he started.

"Do you know the bloody password or not?" she turned away from him and looked back at the statue.

He sighed. "Marshmallow Peeps." he said.( I love peeps! especially when they're stale. ok back to the story) The gargoyle moved and revealed the spiraling staircase. She started up the steps first with Draco close behind.

She was about to knock on the door when... "Come in Ms. Granger, Mr. Malfoy."

She hated that he could do that. Her and Malfoy stepped through the door and sat in the two chairs in front of Dumbledore's desk.

"I suppose you two are wondering why you are here?" he asked peering at them over his half moon spectacles.

They both nodded.

"Well as heads you are required to plan the Winter ball as well as others events. But for now we'll focus on the upcoming Winter Ball. You have approximately two months to plan everything. From the food to the decorations. Maybe even come up with a theme if you can. I'll let you decide the exact date of the ball, but it should be before the Christmas break. Well I'll leave you to it. It looks to me as if you have about forty-five minutes until lunch. Instead of interrupting your current class you can relax in your dormitory. Perhaps get planning?" he smiled and waved a hand dismissing them.

Both students scrambled out the door.

"Granger..."

She ignored him.

"Granger!" he said more urgently.

"GRANGER!" he shouted. A passing ghost looked at him strangely and a portrait told him to 'shut his ungrateful little mouth.'

"Fine ignore me, I don't care." he walked off in the direction off the Slytherin common room. Hermione headed to the Gryffindor common room. Ginny didn't have any more classes until after lunch so she decided to visit her.

She reached the girls dormitory and found Ginny lying on her stomach reading a book on her bed.

"Hi Hermione!" she said when she heard her come in. She closed her book and sat crossed legged on the bed. "What's wrong? Come sit here and tell Ginny." she said.

Hermione sighed, but she still sat down.

"Well?" she pressed.

"Malfoy called me a mudblood." she said. "Well technically he called me a mud...but that's what he was implying."

She looked at Ginny for guidance.

"Well did he apologize?" she asked hopefully.

"Of course not it's Malfoy. He couldn't possibly say sorry to a mudblood." she crossed her arms over her chest. She was really confused. Why was she so upset about this. Draco had called her a mudblood lots of times. Why was it affecting her so much now? She shook her head to clear it of all those confusing thoughts.

"Well has he tried to talk to you at all about it."

"Yeah. But I've kind of ignored him." she suddenly felt guilty. What if he was trying to apologize to her. It was unlikely but she always had a way of making herself feel guilty. It was one of her few faults.

"You're falling for him." Ginny giggled.

"I knew you would be absolutely no help! Why did I even come here." she stood up and started pacing.

"Hermione" Ginny said calmly.

"Ginny I need you to stop saying that I like him. Ok? I'm not falling for him he's driving me crazy...and the worst part is I have no clue why!" she slumped onto the bed and put her head in ginny's pillow. Ginny rubbed her back.

"It's okay hermione, I won't say you're falling for him, but I do think you developing feelings for him." Hermione groaned. "Or maybe you just really hate his guts." hermione nodded, but she knew Ginny hadn't meant that.

She stayed with Ginny until it was time for lunch. The whole time they avoided the topic of Draco.

The Heads Dorm

Draco and Blaise were sitting in Draco's room after their last class ended.

"Just apologize!" Blaise said for the thousandth time.

"Why should I apologize! She ignored me all morning. She should apologize to me. I mean I didn't even call her a mudblood. I called her a mud..." he sighed and collapsed on his bed.

"Do you like her?" Blaise asked suspiciously. "Because it sounds like you do." Draco slowly turned his head towards Blaise who was sitting in a chair at the foot of Draco's bed.

"NO! For the last god damn time, no I don't like her."

"Then why does it matter that she's mad at you?" he raised an eyebrow at Draco. He knew that he wouldn't be able to come up with an answer to that.

"uh...well...I-I-mean..." he sighed. He really didn't know. He just didn't like it that she was mad at him. I mean who knows what she would dump on my head if she is angry.

"Blaise..." Draco said after a few minutes of silence.

"I know mate. Girls are so weird, they do freaky things to you man. You can't stop it." he shook his head. Draco looked at him with expecting eyes.

"Oh! did you want some advice?" he smiled innocently.

Draco waved his hands in an obvious gesture.

"Well, I think you should just apologize for almost calling her a mudblood. Then you should do something nice for her. Nothing too big, unless you want to woo her." Draco glared at him.

"Didn't think so. Just show her that you've changed, and that you're willing to be more civil with her." he concluded.

"Who says I want to be civil with her? It's not like I want to be her best friend. I just want to make fun of her have her make fun of me back. It's like our thing. It's what we do." he rolled over onto his stomach.

"You've got your own special little thing with her don't you?" Blaise smirked.

"No, it's like a routine. She makes fun of me, I make fun of her. She's the only one who will stand up to me. And not to mention her witty come-backs."

"Sharp tongue on that one, ay?" Blaise smirked at the smile growing on Draco's face. My god he's smitten!

"Yeah..." He looked at his watch.

"You should take my advice though. She seems like the type of girl who would forgive you if you just apologized to her."

"Since when do you know so much about girls?"

"I honestly don't know mate. None of this crap ever helps me with girls, but it helps everyone else so..." They both laughed and decided to catch the end of lunch.

I know it's short, but I split the chapter up into two chapters, so it would make more sense. (the next chapter is going to be on Friday night when they patrol.)

I need some reviews. In case you haven't noticed, the more reviews I get the faster the chapter gets up! So please review for me!
