Previous Chapter: "I love you too." Hermione said and Draco kissed Hermione. It was Hermione's first kiss and first kiss with Death Eater. But Hermione didn't care whether he was a Death Eater or not, as long as he loved her and she loved him, and Hermione knew his heart was still pure. They could feel the rain drops as they were kissing.

13. The Ball Plan.

Two months had passed and the Chrismas was approaching. Hermione and Draco were together and nobody knew about Draco being Death Eater. Nick had moved on, and he was going out with Pansy. Hermione thought he would be mad at her when she told him that she was going out with Draco but to her surprise, he was rather happy when others were shocked. Ron and Harrywere very angry when they heard that Hermione was going out with Draco but soon they got over with that but still they didn't like Draco. The Christmas Eve was just a week away and everybody was excited about it. Professor Dumbledore told to Draco and Hermione that they have to arrange for the ball which they are going to hold on Christmas Eve. So Draco and Hermione were very busy to set everything right in order.

"... Hermione, do you have any plans for the ball?" Draco asked, looking around the empty Great Hall. "I really don't have any ideas and Great Hall is bigger than I thought... too big..." Draco sighed.

"I also don't have any ideas but we will have to do this and quikely." Hermione said.

"So... What color do you want the Great Hall to be paint?" Draco asked looking at dusty walls.

The word paint made Hermione to think so something."Oh I have got an idea..." Hermione said happily.

"What is it?" Draco asked with excitement.

"Okay... Imagine this..." Hermione told Draco about her ideas and smiled at Draco.

Draco wasn't sure of Hermione's idea. "Are you sure you want to do that? I mean it sounds like so creepy and..." Draco frowned.

"And what?"

"... It is so simple... I mean too simple..." Draco said.

"That is what make it more special, don't you think?"

"Well... I am not sure of your idea?" Draco said.

"Then do you have any ideas?" Hermione asked knowing that Draco didn't have any ideas.

"Nope..."

"In that case, we are going to do that..." Hermione said happily.

"Come on Hermione... That is not right... I mean why do you want to make others to not recognise each other?" Draco asked.

"Okay... For example..." Hermione said bringing out her genius again."Do you think Pansy and Harry will go to the Ball together?" Hermione asked.

"But Pansy has boyfriend already..."

"Yes, but do you think she would go with Harry or Ron before? I mean before she met Nick?"

"Well..." Draco couldn't answer because he knew that Pansy would never go out with Potter or Weasley.

"See? That is what I am planning... I didn't know who you really were and I want others to know the other house students as well, and who know? They might even fall for each other like we did..." Hermione said smiling at Draco.

"You are right... But I think it is too simple... Don't you think we should put some flowers or other colorful things?" Draco asked.

"Well, I have plan for that later..." Hermione just giggled.

"Tell me then..."

"Don't want..." Hemrione said playfully.

"I am Head Boy and I have right to know..." Draco said looking down at Hermione.

"Well... okay..." Hermione told Draco everything she had in her mind.

"Wow... that would work..." Draco said happily.

"Do you think people would like it?" Hermione asked to Draco with excitement. She was a bit nervous because she had no experience in arranging a ball.

"Definitely... I think they would love it... maybe they would feel uncomfortable at first because they never had a ball like this but I think it is quite nice..." Draco convinced Hermione.

"Good then, let's go back to dormitory, I am sleepy..." Hermione said.

"Alright... So... Are we starting to decorate from tomorrow?" Draco asked helping Hermione to stand up.

"We will have to finish decorating by tomorrow and I think it is pretty easy to finish because there aren't much things for us to put in..." Hemrione said.

"But don't you think we need a Christmas Tree?" Draco asked.

"Well... How about we put Christmas Tree in the middle of the Great Hall?" Hermione suggested.

"That sounds nice... I like it... Then after all, the Ball isn't gonna be so creepy... and by the way don't we have to put notice about the Ball?" Drao asked.

"Oh yeah... I almost forgot... How about we put the notice on the way to our dormitory?" Hermione said.

"Okay..." And they out the notice on the noice board and went back to their dormitory.

Notice

Head Boy and Head Girl.

Hermione and Draco was quite happy with their plan. However Draco and Hermione didn't tell anyone about their plan on Christmas Ball, so they could surprise everyone.

: On Christmas Eve :

Hermione was very busy on Chrismas Eve. She need to make sure everything were in order. She had been running all around the Hogwarts. She was very nervous. 'What if others don't like the Ball?' She thought of this all day, which made her distracted.

"Hermione calm down..." Draco said to Hermione who was just running everywhere for no reason.

"Oh... I am just checking..." Hermione said.

"Everythings are in right order... Don't you remember we checked twice yesterday..." Draco reminded her.

"Did we? Oh good..." Hermione signed.

"You need to change... It is almost nine o'clock, I am going to change too." Draco said. 'Didn't know she was that nervous before...' Draco thought which made him smile a bit.

"Okay... see you in a minutes..." then Hermione ran to her room.

Hermione changed her clothes which she bought two days ago with Ginny and she wore light make up. She also straightened her hair and she looked gorgeous. She looked herself reflecting on the mirror. "Oh... Not that bad..." Hermione said to herself.

"Hermione, aren't you ready yet?" Draco said just outside of her room.

"I am ready and you can come in now..." Hermione said.

When Draco saw Hermione, he couldn't just take his eyes off her. 'She looks beautiful...'

"You can close your mouth now..." Hermione said to Draco who was just looking at Hermione.

"Oh... oh yeah... You look beautiful tonight..." Draco said. Hermione was wearing a white mermaid dress which was glittering by the beads around the neck

"You look nice too..." Hermione said looking at Draco who was wearing formal suit.

"I think you will look perfect if you wear this one..." Draco said and took out a necklace from his pocket. It was made of white gold and it had what it look like half moon shaped pendant. Draco put the necklace around Hermione's neck himself. Hermione looked herself into the mirror. And she did look perfect with the necklace on.

"Wow... It is beautiful... Thank you..." Hermione said.

"It is your Christmas present..." Draco said.

"It is half moon, right?" Hermione asked.

"Yes..."

"So where is the other half? Hermione asked.

"I am going to save the other half for myself..." Draco smiled and took out another necklace which was a bit more thicker than Hermione's with the other half moon. Then Hermione remembered the night that Draco said 'He will be always there for her when she needed him, like the moon always in the sky.'

"Aren't you going to wear it?" Hermione asked.

"I will..." then Draco tried to put it himself.

"Can I do it for you?" Hermione asked and took the necklace from Draco and she put it around his neck. When she saw his pendant and her pendant, she found out that the two pendant really match and they were like the real moon. Hermione could see a rabbit in her pendant and she could see some other part of it, in Draco's pendant.

After that Hermione and Draco looked each other and they put on their ring. Their dresses were still same but a mask appeared when they wore the ring.

"The masks aren't too bad too..." Hermione said.

"What do you mean by not too bad? It is great. It matches with our costume." Draco said.

"Yes indeed..."

Hermione's mask was white which was made of silk and the mask was glittering with similar beads which are on her dress. Hermione's mask hid only her eyes part. Draco's masks was as same as Hermione's. But it did match him because he was wearing white shirt.

"Hey, are the masks suppose to be same?" Draco asked.

"No... They are suppose to be all different..." Hermione said looking at their masks. "I put the spell which the mask will match the dresses..." Hermione said.

"Well... that means we are match..." Draco smiled at Hermione and Hermione smiled back. "So? what are we waiting for? Let's go..." Draco said.

"Okay... I just hope everything will go as we palnned..." Hermione muttered.

When they entered the Great Hall everybody was there already, including Professors. Everybody was wearing the masks already. Everybody looked very uncomfortable with their masks on and they couldn't recognise each other. The Great Hall was painted in black color, floor to sailing and nothing was there, and that made surprise evry one in the Hall.Hermione and Draco need to make a speech to start the ball.

"Welcome everyone and thank you for coming to the ball..." Draco started first because he knew that Hermione couldn't make a speech because she was nervous. "I hope you would enjoy the ball..." and when Draco finished his sentence, Hermione and Draco waved their wand.
