3) The Dinner Party

"Are you ready yet Mademoiselle Granger?" a voice called from the other side of the door. Hermione looked at herself in the mirror for the hundredth time and sighed.

"Um, almost!" she shouted. She looked at her hair. It was curly and bouncy and it annoyed her. "I should just chop it all off," she muttered to herself. She twirled in the mirror and looked at the dress that she was wearing. She had gone shopping already and she had fell in love with the dress when she saw it. It reached just above her knees and it was a cream color with a floral print. The flowers were pale blue and there was very intricate lace working at the bottom of the dress and at the sleeves, which hung to her wrists. She took a light blue ribbon and she tied her hair. "Now that's better." She said. She looked once more and then she left the room.

"Come along Draco, we don't want to be late!" Uncle Charles bellowed. Draco appeared in the doorway and looked at his Uncle.

"Uncle Charles, you look overdressed." He said. Uncle Charles rolled his eyes.

"So do you, where is Pierre?" he said. Draco shrugged. He went over to the mirror and checked out his reflection. He slicked down his hair and checked out his outfit. He was wearing a dark blue dress shirt, and a black tuxedo jacket, along with black dress pants. "Son you look fine," Uncle Charles said. Draco nodded.

"I know." He said. Uncle Charles chucked.

"Where is that boy…" he muttered. Draco sighed and went outside.

"You! What the heck are you doing here Malfoy?" Hermione hissed. Malfoy looked at her with disgust.

"I had no inkling that you were going to be here Mudblood. And if I knew, I wouldn't have come!" he said. Hermione stomped her foot on the ground.

"Whatever, just, leave me alone ok?" she said. He shrugged.

"And you think I'm going to listen to you?" he asked. She clenched her fist then spun around and stalked away. Draco chuckled to himself.

"May I take your jacket sir?"

"No, I'm fine," Draco said tonelessly. He kept his eyes on Hermione as she mingled with other people in the crowd. "She doesn't look half bad…" he muttered.

Meanwhile Hermione was meeting several new people, but her mind was still on Malfoy. Out of all the people who could have appeared at the party, Draco had to come. She was pissed off. What was he doing here anyway? She thought. She sighed and went over to Lucie.

"Why Hermione, who is that charming young man who is standing by the stairs?" she asked. Hermione looked over at the stairwell and saw Draco standing with a glass of champagne.

"Oh, um, a school mate," she said sounding embarrassed. Lucie looked at her.

"Oh really?" she said with a sly smile. Hermione grimaced.

"Oh please. I would never associate myself with him if my life depended on it." She said.

"That was the same thing that I had said about Pierre." She said.

"Well Pierre is not a Malfoy." Hermione said. Lucie looked at her.

"He's a Malfoy?" she asked is a whisper. Hermione nodded.

"What's wrong Lucie?" she asked. Lucie shook her head.

"Oh, nothing's wrong. Don't worry," she said. Hermione's eyes narrowed.

"Tell me Lucie--" Hermione was cut off by the tapping of a glass. "Listen Lucie, you have to tell me what happened ok?" she said. Lucie turned away and began wheeling away from her, and going toward the table. Hermione shook her head and began making her way to the table. She looked for her name on one of the cards and found that she was sitting right between Pierre and Malfoy. "Oh great, just what I needed," she muttered. She sighed and sat down on the seat. Two minutes later Pierre arrived and sat next to Hermione. Malfoy came too.

"Oh great, just what I need, to sit next to the Muggle Mudblood for dinner. I might accidentally throw up my food if I have to look at your face too long Granger." He said with a smirk. She rolled her eyes.

"Please Malfoy, shut up and have some respect." She said angrily.

"Potty and Weasel aren't here to defend you Granger, so what are you going to do?" he asked. Hermione turned to him.

"Listen Malfoy, if you don't shut your bloody face, I'll slap you so hard you'll fly all the way to Moaning Myrtle's toilet." She said. He gawked at her.

"I didn't think that you had it in you Granger," he said. She rolled her eyes.

"Excuse me Mademoiselle," interrupted Pierre. Hermione turned to him.

"Yes Pierre?" she asked.

"Well, do you know why Lucie seems so sad?" he asked her. Hermione looked at her cousin and shrugged.

"I have no clue." She said. Pierre nodded.

"I should go to her, should I not?" he asked. She sighed.

"It may look inappropriate don't you think?" she asked. He nodded.

"You are right. Pardon my manners, I forgot to tell you how stunning you look tonight." Hermione was taken aback.

"Uh, why, thank you Pierre." She said. Malfoy was snickering at her side and she elbowed him in the stomach.

"Ow, why'd you do that for?" he asked. She shrugged.

"You were beginning to annoy me." She said. He rolled his eyes. Mama stood up and looked around.

"If I could have your attention please!" she said. Everyone became silent. Even Malfoy stopped giggling when he looked at the woman. "Welcome all. You have been invited here to have dinner with us in our humble abode, on the occasion that is to be arriving soon. The wedding of Pierre and Lucie." A round of polite applause broke out. "I invite you to enjoy yourselves, please, you may begin your feast. We will be dancing later on, I hope you all have come prepared." She said with a small grin. Hermione sighed and then dug into the food that began magically appearing on her plate.

4) The Balcony

Dinner had been finished and so many people were milling about. Hermione went out on the balcony and looked down at the huge city. The place looked beautiful in the moonlight and she shivered when a cold wind blew. Suddenly someone draped their jacket around her shoulders. She turned around and saw Pierre. "Why, Pierre, um, thank you, but I'm not really cold." She said handing him the jacket. He shook his head.

"No Hermione, you must take it. It is very cold out here, and I have no use of it." He said.

"Well, uh, that's very nice of you," she said. He smiled and looked out at the city.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" he asked. She smiled and nodded.

"Yes it is, I enjoy looking out at the city." She said.

"So do I." Said Pierre. She turned away and then walked to the next end of the balcony. She looked down and then she saw the lake.

"Oh my. Pierre, I forgot that there was a lake here," she said turning around. When she looked no one was there. She looked around and shook her head. She pulled off the jacket and hung it on the balcony. She began looking at the lake when suddenly someone pushed her. She screamed and grabbed on to the balcony. "What the! Malfoy!" she spitted out with fury. He was standing behind her laughing madly. "Oh my God how could you do that!!!" she shouted. She went over to him and slapped him on the face. He looked at her with an evil glint in his eyes. There was a red imprint of her hand on his cheek, and then tears began filling in her eyes. "I have never met a bigger idiot than you Malfoy!" she screamed. She hit him in the chest and then began walking away. He grabbed on to her hand. "Leave me alone Malfoy!" she shouted. She wrenched her hand away and left the balcony.

A Poem.

Time was swiftly going by and I glanced up

And looked at the clock

The hands were spinning wildly

And it was then I realized that I was only dreaming.

^_^ *_* -_- :)

"Life is but a dream that we aspire to achieve."
