Hey Dawg, all this belongs to J.K Rowling isn't she great? Yeah except the plot that's all me…check it out….yeah I forgot this last chapter, so nothing from last chapter belongs to me either k? Now on with the story…
Chapter #4 You and Me
It was Friday evening, the dance started at 8:00. Hermione and Kelsey were in the head's bathroom getting ready. Malfoy and Blaise were in his room.
The counter was covered in eye shadow, eyeliners, mascara, nail polish, hairspray, and other beauty products. They were both crowded around the mirror rushing to do their makeup.
Blaise and Kelsey had helped them decorate the Great Hall but now they only had half an hour to get ready.
Hermione watched herself in the corner of the mirror as she applied her mascara. "O shit!" She yelled when she blinked. Now her right eye looked like a raccoon's.
Kelsey handed her some eye makeup remover. She did Hermione's hair while she redid her makeup. Then Hermione did Kelsey's hair while she shaved her legs.
The girls threw on their dresses and some perfume, then went downstairs to see if the boys were ready.

Blaise and Draco had laughed as they watched the girls freak out at how much time they had. They had put on their shirts and ties, some cologne, and combed their hair in a total of ten minutes.
Now they sat in the common room waiting. "What could possibly take this long?" whined Blaise. "Some things women do, men aren't supposed to understand." Draco told him. Blaise looked over at Draco. He laughed and stood looking around the room.
He stopped at a picture of Hermione holding a baby in her arms. He picked it up. "That's not hers is it?"
Draco laughed, "No! That's her little brother." "Cute isn't he?" Blaise put the picture back on the shelf.
"You and Hermione should go to the dance together, I mean neither one of you have dates." Draco looked down at the floor. " Yeah, that would never happen."
They heard the steps creak and turned around to see Hermione and Kelsey making their way gracefully down the stairs holding their dresses.
Hermione was wearing a peach halter dress. It was form fitting to her waist where it had layered material to her ankles. It was scrunched at the waist and had little pearls at her chest. Kelsey had curled her hair and pinned it in the front.
Draco watched her "Damn, she's beautiful." He thought to himself.
Kelsey went over to Blaise. He leaned down and kissed her on the forehead. She took his arm and turned towards the other two. "Are you guys ready?" They nodded and they all walked to the Great Hall together.
They sat down at a table together and warm mugs of butter beer appeared in front of them.
They had done a good job decorating the gym. They had red, blue, yellow, and a green streamer overhead and enchanted leaves falling from the ceiling. One wall they had spelled to show memories from past years at Hogwarts.
The hall quieted as Professor Dumbledore stood up. "Welcome to Hogwarts' first Homecoming dance! We would like to have the first dance shared by Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy, this year's head boy and head girl!
They stood up and walked to the center of the Hall. Hermione ignored the stares of Harry and Ron.Draco took Hermione's waist and hand as they started to dance.
XmusicX "What day is it? And in what my eyes this clock never seemed so alive. I can't keep up and I can't back down. I've been losing so much time." Xx
Draco twirled her around. Hermione grabbed his hand again and put her head on his shoulder.
Xx "Because, it's you and me and all of the people and nothing to do, nothing to lose. And it's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why, I can't take my eyes off you." Xx
Hermione and Draco looked at the enchanted wall. It showed a 12-year-old Hermione walking up and smacking Draco in the face.
Draco looked down at her. "Sorry I was such an ass." Hermione smiled up at him "Your different now." Draco leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. He smirked at her; "I'm running my own life now." Hermione beamed and put her head back on his shoulder.
The song ended. The great Hall was filled with applause as they walked back to their table. Draco looked at Blaise who was smirking at him. "Hey let's go get some food!" They left the table leaving the girls who were laughing at them.
Kelsey looked excited. "So…Details!" Hermione didn't' get a chance to tell her though because, Harry came over.
"What the hell was that?" He yelled at her. Kelsey glared at him. "Harry what's your god damn problem!" Harry pointed at her angrily "You stay out of it!"
Dumbledore came up behind them a, grave look on his face. "Mr. Potter I must ask you to leave if you don't calm down." Harry stormed off and Dumbledore looked to Hermione. " Miss Granger I must ask you to come with me."
Confused, she followed him out of the Great Hall and to his office. He offered her a seat and sat at his desk, a sad expression on his face.
"Hermione, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this but your parents have been murdered by death eaters."
Hermione's eyes watered with tears threatening to fall. Dumbledore continued, "The funeral was today but, we couldn't let you attend for fear of another attack. We were going to tell you in the morning but," His voice trailed off.
He watched helplessly as tears streamed down Hermione's face. "Where's Cody?" Hermione cried. "Ah" said Dumbledore. "You see, your parents wished for you to be his legal guardian should anything happen to them." The staff and I have agreed for him to live here as there is already one other infant living here. Madam Pomfry's niece, Sarah will watch them during your classes.
Hermione just nodded and continued crying silently. Dumbledore gave her a look of pity. "As for who, the death eaters were all caught, and are currently in Azkaban." Hermione nodded again.
"Now" said Dumbledore standing up from his desk. "I will go retrieve your brother, you wait right here." He disappeared into the fireplace in a cloud of soot.
Hermione pulled her knees to her chest and sobbed uncontrollably.

Hermione carried her sleeping baby brother though the head's portrait. Everyone was still at the dance. She walked up the stairs and noticed an extra door next to hers. She pushed it open to reveal a nursery. She walked through the door connecting the room to her own. She set Cody down carefully in her own bed before climbing in beside him. She pulled him close and cried herself to sleep, still in her perfect dress.

Hey thanks for my reviews!
Song: You and Me Life house
Yeah so Cody is the one moving in with them. We'll see what this does to Draco and Hermione.
Just so you all know they're not officially going out now, and Hermione might be distracted for a while from all of this.
P.S. I'm not a Harry fan so he's not a very nice character in this story!
Please review! I love criticism so help me with my first fic!
Thanks
Ashly
