Chapter 5: Unwanted

The following day went by slowly for everyone who was extremely antsy about the revealing of their matches for the ball. Everyone was talking about how hey had to have gotten such and such person because they were just so 'perfect' for each other. For Hermione, the day went by pretty regular, she didn't care much about who she got, she gives everyone a chance so why should she fret over it when it really is nothing, sure its her match but if its her match, well then its her match and its as simple as that. Soon enough, the Revealing Dinner had come.

"Well students I must say some of the matches are rather interesting, but these match makers don't lie. This may be a new thing to Hogwarts, but they are no where new in this. In a moment you will have a small sealed envelope appear before you. At that time you may open it up and see who your suppose perfect match is at least for the rest of the year at Hogwarts." McGonagall said with a wink. "So let's not waste anymore time. Now that dinner is done. Open your envelopes and see who your Valentine Day Ball Date is." She walked and sat down. She saw the lists of who was matched with whom. And there was one particular paring that was unique but nothing of a surprise to her, her eyes watched through the sea of students and then stopped to observe Draco Malfoy staring at his envelope.

Draco smirked, picking up the envelope delicately. Who is the most luckiest girl to get me as her Match for the Valentine's Day Ball, slowly he opened it. Draco wasn't very patient but he liked to tease himself with small pleasures such as this. The top of the envelope was open and he was ready to pull out the paper within to see who it is, until he heard a yell.

Hermione was laughing along with her friends, each and everyone excited to see who their match was. Minus Harry and Ginny, since well they were a couple and it was just expected. Hermione teased Ginny saying "Watch, they made a mistake and I got Harry placed as my match and then Ginny you would open your envelope and you'd get …" Ginny slapped Hermione's arm and they both laughed.

"Bloody hell" said Ron staring at his envelope, disappointed.

"What is it? Who did you get?" Hermione said with sparkles in her eyes from the curiosity. She leaned forward to see what it had said but she couldn't read. So she waited impatiently for Ron to say out loud who he got.

"I got some 2nd year Hufflepuff girl. How ridiculous could this get, what's with these Match Makers?" he said following a sigh, throwing his paper down onto the table and grabbing a muffin from a pile in the center of the table.

"Aw, It's ok Ron, I'm sure that you don't have it that bad." Hermione said as she started to open and pull out the piece of paper within. She had a huge smile from the conversation, she had the paper all the way out and then her eyes focused and in result they slowly widened and she looked over at Ginny. Ginny was previously laughing from all the conversation of Ron thinking he had the most horrible result in the whole school and how she knew they'd get it straight of having Harry as her match. Harry watched her while smiling, she was leaning over after her cheeks were red from laughing hard, suddenly with barely a split second her eyes bugged out of her head and she yelled.

"WHAT!" Ginny grabbed the paper closer. "WHOA! That HAS to be a mistake. No way!" she said still in shock staring at the paper and then staring back at Hermione. Hermione didn't know what to say. She looked at Ron and Harry. Who were still out of the loop waiting to be invited into it.

"Oh 'Mione, it can't possibly be that bad. I'm sure someone got a worse situation." Ron said mocking Hermione from earlier. "Who did you get?" he grinned trying to make her smile.

Hermione said nothing and emotionally handed the paper to Ron.

"Bloody hell…" Ron said staring at it.

…………………………………………………………………….

Draco saw that Potter's happy little group were having a great time to his dismay, up until his ears hear Ginny Weasley's exclamation saying "WHAT!" excessively loud to the point where it hurt his ears. He laughed, someone got something terrible and now they must be tormented with that fact. He looked back to his envelope taking hold of his paper, slowly pulling it out.

"WHO DID YOU GET?" Pansy said jumping around. Draco rolled his eyes and placed his hands down resting with the envelope. Pansy tried grabbing his envelope from him, begging to see.

"Parkinson, I'm just about to find out, will you just calm down for once in your life." He said shaking his head and pulling his envelope back from her.

He pulled the paper fully out and flipped it over to the side where the name was.

'Hermione Granger'

Draco just stared at it, hoping the name would disappear and change into someone else's name. But it didn't, it still said Granger's name right there and it wasn't going to go away. Pansy started to complain how she didn't get Draco as her match like she should of, saying how she got Ralph from Hufflepuff. Then she started to shove over to Draco and smiled at him, yearning for his attention, which he never gave her.

"Who did you get?"

Draco stood up still in shock, turned around and left, not saying one word to his friends. He went straight to his bedroom. He stormed right out of the Great hall down the towards the Head Boy and Girl's common room and into his room throwing things about, cursing at his belongings.

Hermione saw Draco get up and leave, quite angry. She knew exactly why. Most of her hated the fact that he was her match but a small part of her remembered how sweet he could be. The book said The Antantrum doesn't bring out false attitudes; it brings out the original kind, caring side of the person who drinks the potion. Meaning the person is already capable to being the way he acts with or without the Antantrum. The Antantrum also brings out awareness of aspects in life they haven't paid attention to. Different beautiful things in the world, that they would originally think is beautiful but without the effect of influence in the past. Basically the Antantrum takes away what influences are on the person and allows that side of kind and compassion to show through. Show their deepest secret thoughts of positives in life. Maybe she should have let Draco read it. She started to fight her conscience.

-Do I run after him, calm him down, say sorry?

No. Stay here. Don't make a scene.

-It's ALREADY a scene Hermione. Go after him. Fix it. After all you're going to be spending all day with him tomorrow anyway.

But he's going to hate you. It's going to get worse.

-Peace is NEEDED, go to him Hermione. Just do it.

Not knowing what she should do, she found her body taking control over herself and she was lead all the way back to the Head Boy and Girl commons where she said the password and stood at the front, she could hear the storm going on in Draco's bedroom. He was furious.
