Hermione woke to someone shaking her gently. She blinked several times before her vision cleared. There in front of her was Draco, shaking her awake.

"Come on! You slept through class. We've got to go otherwise someone might suspect something." Draco said urgently.

"Ok Draco. Just wait a moment." Hermione got to her feet, wobbling slightly before she got her balance back.

She quickly grabbed a brush on one of the tables and dragged it through her hair quickly before, satisfied with her appearance, stepped through the door, as if nothing had ever happened.

Hermione raced after Draco and down the stairs, skidding to a halt in front of the great hall doors. She stepped through and went to sit next to Harry and Ron.

Draco followed suit 10 minutes after Hermione, looking very grumpy and disdainful (as usual). He headed towards the Slytherin table, but not before he sent a wink in Hermione's direction. He knew that only she would catch it, because Hermione would be looking for it.

Hermione sighed. They had Transfiguration and then Charms before the day finished. It was completely Gryffindor, and therefore she had no time to talk to Draco, until they met again the next day.

Hermione prayed for Christmas to hurry up and get here! Standing up, Hermione headed off to Transfiguration, hoping that McGonagall was sick.

*~+~*

Finally classes finished, and Hermione went up to the Gryffindor common room.

When she got there, everyone was chattering excitedly about something. Everyone was swarming the noticeboard so Hermione went to have a look.

Her heart sank. There was to be a Christmas Ball on the last weekend of school. Hermione knew who she wanted to go with but the whole school would explode before she could go with Draco.

Sighing, she headed up the stairs to the girls dorm, when Ron came running up to her.

"OI! Hermione!" Ron called, as he attempted to run up the slide the girls stairs had turned into.

Hermione slid down and waited for Ron to follow suit. "What?" she snapped irritably.

"Well, you know how there's a ball on, well. . ." Ron stopped, unsure of himself. "Dyouwannagoballwime?"

Hermione knew what Ron was asking but she decided to humiliate him a bit.

"What? Can you speak in English Ron? I don't quite understand mumbo jumbo language." Hermione smirked.

Ron screwed up his courage and said, "Do you want to go to the ball with me?"

Hermione smirked again. "I'll think about it. Now shoo! I am going upstairs to study!"

Ron looked crestfallen but he headed off to where Harry and Ginny were sitting, looking victorious. The two drew the obvious conclusion and congratulated him on his success on thawing the ice queen.

Hermione was furious that Ron had the nerve to act as if she had said yes. She had no intention of going at all, if she couldn't go with Draco, but she couldn't very well tell anybody (Not even Draco) that.

Hermione stomped off to her dorm and pulled out her books. After several minutes of reading, she put them back into her bag. She couldn't concentrate. Sighing, she laid back on her bed and decided it was time to pay Draco a visit.

*~+~*

Draco hummed to himself as he thumbed through the pages of 1000 magical herbs and fungi. He already knew everything off by heart, but still he revised.

Finally he snapped his book shut. Since there were only four boys in 6th year, they all got private rooms. Draco was bored and he wanted to talk to Hermione but he knew that was impossible.

Sighing, he began to make a castle out of Exploding snap cards. He had built 4 layers when Hermione came in.

Draco hadn't noticed Hermione's entrance, so she sneaked up behind him.

"Hello Draco." Hermione whispered seductively in his ear.

Draco was stunned. He turned around slowly and saw Hermione standing there, in her red ensemble.

Hermione was wearing a mini skirt that only just covered her thighs, and a red-orange tank top that hugged her whole upper body.

Draco smirked. "Couldn't wait to see me huh?"

Hermione shook her head and sat down in Draco's lap. "I missed my Draco." Putting a puppy face, she looked at Draco innocently.

Draco snorted and snaked his arms around her waist. "Well, are you going to tell me how you got here?" His warm breath sending a tingle up Hermione's spine.

She spun around and pointed at the fireplace. "You have to press the bricks in a certain combo and it opens to a secret passage. It leads to right outside the room of requirement. Even Harry, who supposedly knows every single secret passage, doesn't know some of the passages I know. Like the one to here."

Draco smirked. "Have you heard of the ball on the last weekend of term?"

Hermione nodded.

"You got a partner yet?" he asked, his eyes glinting, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.

"No, but Ron asked me and I said I would think about it, and then he struts over to Harry and Ginny looking as if I said yes! HOW INSOLENT!" Hermione exploded.

Draco put a finger to Hermione's lips and said, "Shh! We don't want to get caught do we?"

Hermione shook her head profusely.

"Now, why don't you go with Ron (Hermione's eyes widened in shock and began to shake her head) but then I'll cut in and show him up. I happen to know that he can't dance. (Hermione snorted in agreement) So, you'll get to dance with me and show Ron up at the same time. Sound good?" Draco purred.

"Sounds excellent." Hermione said as she played with Draco's cloak clasp.

"What are you doing?" Draco asked watching as Hermione played with his clasp, as she opened and closed it several times.

"Deciding whether I want to take your cloak off or not." Hermione said mischievously.

Draco smirked. "How about you go now and you can take it off tomorrow?"

Hermione frowned comically. "No! I want to. . ." Hermione was interrupted by a kiss planted on her lips.

Hermione smiled. "Fine! You win!"

Draco grinned. "See you tomorrow 'Mione."

Hermione then raced to the fireplace and pressed several stones all at once. Immediately, the fireplace melted away. Hermione stepped through and the grate reappeared.

Draco smiled. Boy was she fun to be around.
