Draco's POV

I was standing in front of my mirror admiring myself in the tuxedo I picked out. I looked great. My tattoo hurt just a bit but the pain was worth it.

"Ok. Time to go. I'm forgetting something…" I looked around and found the ring I bought. It was enchanting. "Time to go, now. Whew. Never thought I would be this nervous!"

I took my time walking over to Hermione's room. Lhiann was in the common room. I can hear her pacing across the floor.

I knocked on the door and expected a wait but as fast as I knocked she answered.

"Uh…wow," I whispered.

Hermione was beautiful. She had on a crimson gown that sparkled. The corset made Hermione's curves show more. Her cleavage was amazingly visible because of the V going down to her navel and stopping just below it. The gown reached the floor and made a pool of what looked like blood but was just crimson fabric.

'The ring would match perfectly!' I thought.

"Okay. This is a family heirloom that each male gives to their love," I said, "and I love you." 'More than you could know,' I thought to myself. It was a necklace with a pendant that had the Malfoy crest on it.

"Thank you…I love you too," Hermione said.

"Ok. Well, lets go! Lhiann is downstairs waiting for us."

"Ok."

"Ah! I knew it! You are radiant!" Lhiann squealed as we got downstairs.

"Thank you!" Hermione was beaming. She looked the happiest she could ever be.

"Lets go before they start the ball without us!" I told them.

"Ok," they both said.

The Great Hall looked awesome. Colors of all the houses were everywhere. Some students actually wore house colored dresses or tuxes. Hermione looked the best. She was so beautiful.

The Weird Sisters were playing. At times they even played muggle music. My most favorite song was Helena by My Chemical Romance (Hermione told me who they were).

"Can I have your attention please?" Professor Dumbledore said above the fading music. All eyes turned to him. "I would like to say 'Merry Christmas all!' Also I would like for the Head boy and girl to come to the middle of the floor and dance to the first slow song!" He smiled, I believe he had something up his sleeve and I know he knows what I planned on doing.

Hermione smiled and thanked Dumbledore for giving them the honors. We walked through the path the students had made and started dancing when we reached the middle.

"Hermione, I know I was a jackass since I first laid eyes on you and I am so sorry for all the torture I put you through, but we are here now, together and I love you more than you could possibly know." I kneeled down on one knee and reached into my pocket.

"Draco, what are you doing?" Hermione asked, her tone full of unbelievable shock.

"Hermione Navan Granger…"

ok you all probably know whats going to happen but CLIFFIE! yay.
