CHAPTER THREE
Non of the two mentioned what had happened, they continued to act usual. The only thing the excited the school was the Ball. It was in today..
"What are you going to wear?" Ginny asked Hermione. They were in Hermione's room.
Hermione pulled out a sleek blue gown that hugged her curves. She pointed her wand to her hair, and immediately, her straight hair became elegant curls falling down perfectly.
"I think this is fine." Hermione said, "Who are you going with?"
"Dean." Ginny said shortly.
"Not Harry?" Hermione asked, raising her eyebrows.
"I heard he asked Cho." Ginny's voice became stiff.
Ever since they broke up in the end of sixth year, nothing has been the same. They talk and joke around as usual, but the connection between them became intense at times.
"I thought you guys promised to be each other's date for any Ball if neither of you guys have a boyfriend or girlfriend." Hermione asked, pressing o.
"I thought so too." Ginny said grimly, making it obvious that she doesn't want to talk about it, "Let's just get going downstairs, we don't want to keep out date waiting."
She made her way out to the common room. The moment they stepped out, she saw Malfoy in this outfit I don't think they wear tux's in the wizarding world. He looked absolutely gorgeous.
"Umm…you go on ahead Ginny, I have to talk to Malfoy about out duties after the Ball." Hermione said, thinking of an excuse to get rid of Ginny.
"Alright, see you." Ginny said, glaring at Malfoy, whi just smirked at her.
Hermione checked to see if she was really gone, when she was, she turned and looked at Malfoy.
"Uh…you look good." Hermione said lamely.
"Not bad yourself." Malfoy said smiling. He leaned in and gave her a quick peck on the lips, "Let's get going alright?"
They made their way down to the main entrance. Everyone was there looking for their dates. Hermione found Ron and Harry waiting at the end of the staircase. Harry was with Cho, who looked elegant with her hair tied up in a bun. Ron smiled at her, but when he saw Malfoy, his smile turned into a frown.
"There's Pansy…God I don't know why I asked her." Malfoy said, "She's pestering me about it, but the girl I wanted to ask was already had a date."
"Who was it?" she asked, but Malfoy was already making his way to Pansy. Ron came up to Hermione.
"What were you doing with that piece of shit?" Ron asked.
"Ron! Watch your mouth!" Hermione scold, "Besides, we're Head Boy and Girl, we just came out of the same common room."
They made their way to the Great Hall, which was decorated beautifully. They had a night sky with beautiful stars shining down and the moon. The four long tables disappeared and there was a water fountain made of ice at the corners of the room with benches surrounding them. In the middle of the room was the dance floor. The refreshments were by the sides and people were gazing amazing at the shooting stars in the sky.
Professor McGonagall called for attention.
"Our tradition for every Ball is that the Head Boy and Head Girl starts off the dance."
Malfoy and Hermione looked at each other, before slowly making their way to the dance floor. She placed her arms around Malfoy's neck while he had his hands around her waist. As they dance, they could feel everyone's eyes burning into their backs. She could see Ron glaring hatefully at Malfoy, while Pansy shot daggers with her eyes on Hermione. When the dance ended, Malfoy took Hermione's hands and kissed it, his eyes never leaving hers.
"Come on Hermione, let's dance." Ron came barging in on Hermione's fazed moment.
She wanted to kick him, but she maintained her cool. Malfoy bowed before going to Pansy. Ron was talking to Hermione the whole time while they were dancing, but Hermione was paying attention. She was thinking of Malfoy, how his eyes gazed into hers with such…passion.
"Did you hear a thing I said?" Ron asked, breaking her thoughts.
"Of course." Hermione lied.
"What did I say then?" he questioned.
"I'm thirsty, can you get me some juice?" Hermione asked. Ron nodded and went off towards the refreshment table. Hermione went to sit on the benched by the fountain.
"Heard Malfoy has his eyes on Granger." Someone said from the bench behind her. Hermione stood still, so she won't cause any distraction.
"Yea, I don't think Granger likes him though…he gave her hell for 6 years." Hermione recognized that second voice, it was Blaise.
"Don't forget how he knocked her unconscious in the beginning of the year." Someone sniggered.
"You think Malfoy just want to get in her pants? Like all the other guys does?"
"No, I seriously think Malfoy likes her…she's not under this 'fuck and chuck' list." Blaise said thoughtfully.
"Like Pansy." Goyle said, "Heard Granger's still a virgin."
"Oh yea, you can tell." Blaise said.
Ron came back with the drinks. Hermione quickly pulled Ron away from the benches.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"Nothing, oh look, there's Cho and Harry! Let's so talk to them." Hermione said, pointing towards the benches across the room and went towards them.

As the night whisked away, everyone was having a great time. When the night ended, everyone was parting their way towards their dormitories. Ron and Hermione was walking down the corridors towards her Head Girl/Boy common room.
"Erm…." Ron said, once their outside the portrait, "I guess it's goodnight then." With that, he leaned in and kissed Hermione's lips. He then turned around and walked away, and she could see his ears and they were red. She thought it wasn't that good, not as good as Malfoy.
"Are you going to stand their all night?" The portrait asked. Hermione quickly apologized and gave the password.
She saw Malfoy standing by the fireplace, waiting for her. Without thinking, she ran up to him, threw herself in his arms and kissed him passionately.
This is what you call a real kiss. Hermione thought as she kissed him.
