Hermione's eyes were wide open in shock. If this had been the Hermione of a month ago, Draco would right now be nursing a swollen and red cheek. BUT this wasn't the Hermione of a month ago. This was a Hermione who had a teeny crush on Draco. Draco was looking nervously at her, fidgeting with his fingers.

"I know I shouldn't have..." He started then became silent.

Hermione not paying any attention.

My first kiss... she pondered. And it was with Draco Malfoy. Hermione laughed out loud. Who would have thought it would happen tonight?

"Granger." Draco said "Hermione?"

Hermione snapped out of her thoughts.

"Wha- Yes?" Hermione said

"I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"The..."

"Oh." Hermione said quickly

"I guess I should just go..." Draco trailed off

"No! I mean why don't we go back in? It's getting kind of chilly." Hermione suggested.

"So you're not angry?"

"Not really."

Draco offered his hand to Hermione. She took it. Both of then walked back to the Great Hall hand in hand. The rest of the night was wonderful. All she saw was Draco's gray eyes. And Draco only knew of the girl in his arms.

Ginny saw them and smiled. I guess Draco won't need anymore help from me. A frightening thought crossed her mind, but when she saw the two happy together, she pushed the thought to the back of her mind.

"What are you looking at?" Harry asked her.

"Oh, nothing." Ginny replied and turned her attention to him.

The clock struck eleven, but no one felt tired. Dumbledore's eyes were twinkling as he walked up to the teachers' table.

"Sornus. Students, as much as I hate to see this end, it must. One last song and the ball will be over." Dumbledore announced.

After the ball had ended, Draco walked Hermione back to the Gryffindor Common Room. They stopped in front of the portrait and looked awkwardly at each other.

"Er... Good night Hermione." Draco said, wishing he could stop time.

"Good night Draco."

Draco turned to leave, but Hermione stopped him.

"I just want to say. Thank you for this wonderful night Draco." Hermione tiptoed and gave Draco a peck on the cheek. She whispered the password to the Fat Lady and walked into the Common Room.

Draco was on the ninth cloud. Hermione had kissed him. He (literally) floated down to the Slytherin Dungeons.

"Kids. I really wish they wouldn't do romantic gestures in front of me." Grumbled the Fat Lady

Hermione was greeted by Ginny at the door of her room.

"How was it?" Ginny asked excitedly. "Details."

"In the room." Hermione said her password and the door unlocked.

"Now." Ginny jumped on to the bed.

"Well... It's was better then the Yule Ball, I have to admit," Hermione started. "Oh Ginny, what am I going to do?"

Ginny' s eyes twinkle, not unlike Dumbledore's.

"What's the problem?"

"The whole thing was for Draco to fall for me, ask me to Malfoy Manor for Christmas. I din't expect to like him too." Hermione groaned

Ginny was smiling widely.

"You're no help. Like you expected this to happen." Hermione said

"Sorry."

The next day was Sunday. Even though Hermione was tired for the night before, she still woke up at her usual time of six- thirty. Hermione yawn and stretched. She remembered her perfect night and sighed dreamily. Hermione retrieved her diary from her trunk. She sat down and wrote down all the events from the previous night. Soon it was seven thirty. Hermione took a cold shower and read a Library book beside the fire in the Common Room.

At about eight, Harry and Ron bounded down the stairs and crashed into each other and few chairs. They untangled themselves just as Ginny came into the Common Room with several of her friends.

"Boys." Ginny said

Can anyone tell me the correct spelling for sornus? Cause I think spelled it wrongly. I think Hermione and the other characters are OCC. Sorry. If you have any ideas on how to make this story better, I'm welcome to all suggestions. I know my writing isn't all that great.
