A/N:Yes..I know I haven't updated like I should...but I was doing another story (I advise you, check it out!!) and I didn't know how this chapter should've been done...I know, I know. Whisper's Song stop telling us about it and get on to the chapter...

Repsonse to the Reviews:

50!! YES!! Now what to do....Party? Lol. Thank you everyone!! Next stop...100 reviews!!

Drakulya: Yes you are the 50th review!! Yea Hermione was soft....she's a girl...but she hasn't forgotten it completely so maybe she might just yell at him some more...lol. But she didn't know where her best friend was and the person she was with was Vold's best friend basically, so she assumed. Which is theone thing you Don't do. But yes another realm. But people murdered or rescued...it could go either way!

Chloe: (That is one of my favorite names) Of course you weren't annoying!! I'm glad I make cliffhangers cool! Thank you!!

Lisi: Yes....I love writing sweet lil scenes.

natty123: We can dream....we can dream...

Broadwayburnett: Wow...thank you!!

Fiona McKinnon: Well you can't blame him!

(Sorry if I missed anyone! It's been a while for this story...)

Draco was right of course. (I do need to keep score, I am determined to be better.) As we sat down to dinner Lucius tapped his glass with his spoon.

"I have just received a very important invitation! We are all to go to the Hurston mansion tomorrow!" I looked at Draco and he in turn looked at me. He looked very smug but I lowered my eyes. He backed off and now I got to look smug. But we still didn't know for sure if this was THE place.

"Isn't that the place on another realm?" Narcissa asked, forking a piece of fish. Lucius nodded.

"Yes." he said simply, not bothering to add on. While I got the pity feeling for Narcissa, I looked at Draco again. We both knew now that we would do some major snooping tomorrow. And personally, I'm a bit scared. I mean, if we get caught then we could die. Because there are not very many excuses when your caught in a dungeon....Okay, I need to not worry about it. We'll wing it, and we'll just use spells...yes...okay....As we got back to the room I asked if Draco would do me a favor. He raised an eyebrow.

"Depends. What are you want me to do?"

"Well, could you distract your father long enough so I can snoop in his office?" I asked.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because that office is practically his home. You can't pry him out of it." I groaned.

"You're his son! I know you don't have to best relationship with him, but come on." I pleaded. "I have a hunch. Plus anything that is any value, he'll keep in there. Come on..." I pleaded, widening my eyes. "For me?" I said. He sighed.

"I'll see. It'll be before the ball probably. Hopefully he'll be too consumed with the right thing to wear." he said. I smiled nervously.

"Yea...about the ball..." I started. "Draco, I've never been to a ball. How in the world am I suppose to know what to wear and such." I expected him to not know, since he was a guy. But he instead smirked. A "I-Know-What-To-Do-Smirk". Now I was getting scared.

"What?" I asked. Oh dear...

"Guess you should see, Fred." And I was assuming it wasn't Fred Weasely, which wasn't helping.

"Fred? Who is he?"

"In the words of my mum "The best beauty expert to walk on this planet." he explained, trying to talk like his mother. I laughed, he was actually pretty good.

"You think I need a beauty expert? Gee Draco....That just boosts my confidence." I said sarcastically.

"I don't mean it like that...but you said you've never been to one. Which means you'll need a lot of help."

"I don't need help!" I exclaimed. I happen to have the problem of not being able to accept that I need help sometimes. "And if I see this Fred guy, I have a feeling that there's going to be a Miss Congeniality moment." I said remembering Sandra Bullock's character being plucked and primed all at once. I was NOT going to exprience that.

"A what moment?" he asked confused. I rolled my eyes.

"I still can't believe you haven't seen a movie. After this, I'm taking you to see one wither you like it or not." I said, warning him. He brushed it off.

"Trust me, Hermione. This ball isn't just a normal common room party, this is high society...and your just..." he trailed off. He didn't finish the sentence. I was what? Now I was getting a bit angry.

"What?" I asked. When he didn't answer I asked again.

"Not." he finished softly.

"Are you saying that I can't fit in? Just because I'm not a pureblood?"

"I'm sorry Hermione."

"You know what? You can be a major jerk sometimes. I dunno how many times I can forgive you." I said tiredly, looking out the window.

"What do you mean?"

"You've tormented me for years, but yet you act like my friend. You screwed up at the party but yet I still forgive you after a little apology. And now it's back to insults." I said softly, rolling my eyes and sighed.

"I'm trying." he said. "I'm not used to being so...so..."

"What?" I asked him, my voice a bit angrier.

"Nothing." I came over and looked at him in the eye.

"Decide which side of me you want to be on. Because I can't hate you but then still like you at the same time." He groaned. "Don't groan at me. You know you've been a jerk lately. I'm still pissed at you for the party." I informed him.

"Don't be saying I'm the only one with the spilt personalities."

"What are you getting at Draco?" I asked.

"You're a bookworm but you wanna be a drama queen. You can't choose. Your battling yourself."

"I maybe Draco." I said, wanting to curse him out. He knew me too well. Which kinda scared me since we've almost never gotten along since now. "But hurting people's hearts leaves scars that only heal with time. Not apologizes, not presents. NOTHING. Just time. And that's what you do Draco. You play with people's hearts. You may not mean to but you do." I confessed. "And it HURTS. It breaks my heart." Draco looked up at me, a bit shocked.

"Are you saying that you like me?" I shook my head and left him to his thoughts. I didn't want to answer that question because I knew the answer. But I didn't know what he felt. I doubted he felt anything. We hadn't kissed since that night in the kitchen, so I'm taking it as though I may crushing on him, I should just forget it. What was I thinking...crushing on him?

Well that sucks.

Gee...you think?

Hey, don't shoot the messenger!

Sorry Ginny...just ARGH

But you wanna hold him....you wanna kiss him...you wanna date him....

Oh great it's a Miss Congeniality moment....

Hey it was YOU who took me to see the movie. (And then got the DVD for my Birthday)

But what do you think?

About what?

Everything.

Well....umm....I'm here..so that sucks....but Harry is here so it's okay. Ron is being Ron. Though I haven't spoken to him much. I'm your friend and he's convinced that he's the one for you and no one else is and he thinks you and Malfoy are dating so I'm being shunned almost from him.

I'm so sorry, Ginny.

But I get to have revenge on him...which will be oh so sweet....

What are you planning?

Not telling! But hopefully you'll join in after this whole thing.

You don't have to ask! I'm in!

Good. But let's see...your planning a rescue OP?

Hopefully...I still need to plan my attack.

Let's see you with a weapon...Sorry Mione...just not seeing it.

Please, no weapons, I'm not ending up in trouble.

Darn..okay..well the Draco thing sounds more of a psych thing and I'm not going THERE.

Yes..the last time you tried figuring out people, you assumed, and as luck would have it we happened to end up a muggle police station.

Hey! I thought it was fun!

Yea, that's because you don't have to obey muggle laws along with wizard laws. But I will not explode about that because your flirting with the patrol man got us out.

Please don't mention that to Harry....

I won't.

Now about this ball...

I'm screwed.

Not on my watch. I'm going to help you!

WHAT?

That's right! I maybe rotting in this cell...and will most likely die, I'm going to help Hermione Granger look great so she can show Draco Malfoy who's boss!

Well gee that is so uplifting, and you won't die.

It's called comedy!

Yea, yea.

But I will help you. I happen to have a very good picture mind. But how your gonna get Lucius outta his office is a whole 'nother thing.

Tell me about it!

Break something.

What?!

I said, break something. ANYTHING. Something of value to Lucius. Or steal something...he'll have to go replace it or something.

I could but what exactly....

Does he have a safe?

Uh...I suppose

Then break in! And steal something!

Oh that's great, I'll sneak in tonight and when he catches me I ask him "Hi Mr. Malfoy, is it okay if I break open the safe and steal something so I can snoop in your office so I can get info and hopefully get in you jail? I promise to give whatever I steal right back!!" Yea right. That'll go over wonderfully.

Invisibility and memory charms remember?

Yea...

So use em if you get in a fix.

But..

No buts! I've solved your problem now. AND I'm helping you figure out Malfoy. Be grateful.

I am.

Power is so much fun!

Ginny...so much fun to write!!

OP means operation if you didn't know...Thank God for ALIAS!!

But so they're in a shaky part now...let me see...Would you guys want them to get together sooner rather than later? (H and D)

Any ideas on how you would like to see Ron's revenge carried out? I'm taking all options but they can't have death!!

But I will say there are some new characters getting thrown in! And one who is coming back!! Let the guessing begin!

But I do have a homepage up! Go to my profile and the link is there. I finally have a guestbook up and you can leave a comment if you want. Just use your pen name on the name blank or I won't know who you are!
