"Ah…Granger…just the person I was looking for unfortunately." Draco said.
"What do you want Malfoy…I am really not in the mood to listen about the other night again" Hermione replied.
"Actually this isn't about the other night…Dumbledore wants to see us. He says we are supposed to come to his office to discuss the planning of the dance coming up." Draco said.
"Oh…okay…well does he want to see us now?" she asked.
"No later" he said sarcastically. "Of course now…and you are supposed to be the top of our class! Ha! You can't even get the simplest of things." He laughed.
"Fuck off Malfoy…I don't need your sarcasm right now" she sighed. "Let's just get to Dumbledore so I can go to sleep."
The two walked through the hallways to Dumbledore's office without saying another word to each other. They reached the entrance and said the password and slowly ascended up the stairs. Draco was the first to knock and was let in by Dumbledore himself.
"Ah…it is nice to see you two again. May I ask how your first week of classes went?" he asked.
"Fine." They both said in unison.
"I see…I see…Well I better get to the point." He said. "In one week we shall be having a beginning of term dance, and I would like your first project as Heads of the school to plan it."
They both nodded.
"First you should plan what type of entertainment you are going to have so we can arrange it…then you should probably tell the students what the theme is so they have time to get an outfit and such. Then we should probably have some food and drinks and lastly decorations. Do you think the two of you can handle all of this before the week is over?" he asked.
"Of course, sir. We should have it done in no time at all." Hermione replied.
"Wonderful, Wonderful. Now I shall let you two go, for you have a dance to plan and very little time to do it in. I wish you all the luck." Dumbledore said.
With that the two heads left the office and descended down the stairs into the hallway.
"So I guess that just scratched my sleeping idea." Hermione said. "We should probably start right away so we can get everything done and over with."
"Whatever" Draco said. "You don't actually think I am going to help plan a dance do you?" he laughed. "No I think I will go out to the quidditch pitch and practice instead…Have fun planning the dance!" he yelled over his shoulder while walking towards the nearest exit to go to the pitch.
"OH he makes me so angry sometimes…I swear!" Hermione yelled. "Is it really that hard to help with a few ideas for a dance?" she said to herself while walking towards her room.
As the week went by Draco was nowhere to be seen. Hermione had planned the entire dance by herself and it was going to be amazing. It was going to be a muggle theme, but the Weird Sisters were going to be playing the music. Ron had asked her to go as his date, but Hermione said she would only go as friends. As much as she liked Ron she didn't want anything to ruin their friendship. Harry had finally gotten around to asking Ginny out and they decided they were going together.
It was Friday night and Hermione was eagerly awaiting the dance to see if everyone liked her work. She met up with Ron at the Gryffindor common room and went down with him, Harry and Ginny. As they reached the Great Hall she could hear the music playing and was getting excited.
"Oh Ginny you are going to have so much fun! I know I did just planning it!" Hermione said while laughing.
"I can't wait to see how everything turned out Hermione" Harry said.
"Yeah me neither…you have been in your room for nearly a week straight. I hope it was worth it!" Ron said.
"Oh I promise you it will be don't worry!" Hermione said. "Now let's go before the party ends!"
They entered the Great Hall and Harry, Ron and Ginny's mouths dropped.
"This is awesome Hermione!" Ginny said.
The hall was decorated with much detail. The walls were painted many colors and there were lights everywhere. It looked exactly like the muggle dance club Hermione had taken Ginny, Harry and Ron to that summer near her house.
"Hey…this looks familiar!" Ron said with confusion.
"Well it should, I made it look exactly like the club we went to this summer…now do you remember?" she asked.
"This is amazing Hermione…I cant believe you planned this all by yourself…thanks to Malfoy." Ron said with disgust.
"Did I hear my name?" Draco asked. "Oh its just you Weasel. So I see you snagged yourself a date…although I would have gone with someone less how should I say this…Dirty?"
"Shut it Malfoy! I'm here with Hermione and not to mention she isn't dirty… I seem to recall you are the one getting with every girl you see. Hermione is not like that." Ron said.
"Oh I wouldn't overestimate her Weasley…am I right Granger?" Draco sneered.
Hermione just sat there blushing.
"I seem to recall the other night when she was giving me a lap dance… and then asked to have sex with me." Draco laughed.
Draco was just about to turn around to leave when he was punched in the face. When he turned to see who did it, he just saw a girl running past him looking like she was about to cry.
"What the hell was that about Malfoy?" Harry asked.
"Yeah why did you just say that lie about Hermione!" Ron yelled.
"Hey I was just telling the truth…she didn't have to punch me." Draco said.
"The truth? What are you talking about Malfoy?" Ron asked.
"Why don't you go ask her yourself, Weasley" Draco said before storming off.
Hermione continued to run until she found an empty classroom where she went in and fell to the floor crying. "How could this happen to me?" she asked herself. "Am I really a bad person?"
Just then a man walked into the empty classroom.
"Stupid dance with the stupid students" he muttered to himself.
Just then he noticed a girl lying on the ground crying.
"What the…Miss Granger? Is that you?" he asked.
