*~+~* (*~+~* is kindly taken from another story)

Hermione walked over to Ron, intending on going to the ball with him. Ron was talking animatedly to Harry, who was nodding, looking very serious.

". . . and then you can use the beaters as a distraction like hitting the bludgers at the other chasers and use the. . . I dunno seeker to cut them all off. That leaves all the chasers free to score!" Ron finished, looking very triumphant.

"That's great Ron. Hey look! It's your date to the ball!" Harry said, jumping up and giving Hermione the seat.

"I haven't accepted yet!" Hermione snapped.

Harry looked taken aback. "But Ron said that you said yes." Harry said uncertainly.

"I have NOT said yes for your information, Harry Potter!" Hermione snapped again.

Ron looked sullen. "It was as good as saying yes."

Hermione turned her attention to Ron, her eyes ablaze with annoyance. "Well I suppose you guessed right because I am accepting your invitation to go to the ball with you." Hermione said stiffly.

Ron gaped, and Harry stared. Hermione then took off at top speed to her dorm. Dropping her stuff, she raced out of Gryffindor tower and off to the seventh floor.

*~+~*

"Draco. . . oh Draaaaacoooooo!" Hermione said, dragging his name out so it sounded like it had 23 syllables.

Hermione sat down in the middle of the room and waited. It probably wasn't the best thing to do.

After several minutes, Draco burst through the door, lipstick smeared across his face.

"Hurry up! Lock the door before she comes in!" he gasped.

Hermione quickly muttered several spells, including the locking spell, silencing charm and several other curses that would help Draco and herself.

"Now who has been kissing my Draco?" Hermione asked sternly.

Draco rolled his eyes. "The two-faced bitch of a whore, Pansy. Thinks she's in love with me. Fucking annoying, she is."

Hermione sat down next to Draco and began to gently rub off the lipstick.

"Absolutely right. A whore, slut and bitch all in one!" Hermione said once she had gotten all the lipstick off.

"Here, I'll wash your mouth for you. Poor Draco had endure *its* kisses'! Scourgify!" Hermione said, pointing her wand at Draco's mouth.

Pink bubbles appeared, and pretty soon they were gone.

"You might want to rinse your mouth." Hermione said, before sitting on the bed.

"How about you clean it out for me?" Draco said playfully.

Hermione stood up, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Ok then."

Draco snaked his arms around her waist and they kissed. Draco's tongue parted Hermione's lips, and Hermione responded in the same way. They broke off, breathless.

"That was good." Hermione said breathlessly.

Draco smirked. "Fancy that."

"Shut up!" Hermione said pouting.

Draco obliged and the pair went off to the secret tunnel, they didn't want to get caught snogging each other! (A/N: me goes :( ew! :P hehehehe!)

*~+~*

The weeks flew by, and Hermione saw more and more of Draco, meeting him all over the castle, never getting caught.

Ron suspected nothing, and Hermione was starting to remember how to be nice to him and Harry. Eventually it was just like old times, except Hermione was watching them closely. She watched Harry for any mentioning of the Dark Lord, or dreams and she watched Ron for any sudden impulses that might run through his body.

Finally it was one week till the ball, and a Hogsmeade weekend was coming up.

Hermione quickly filled her purse with money, and skipped off to Hogsmeade. She planned on getting a beautiful dress just for Draco. If she was only going to dance with Ron, she would've gone in rags, but that wasn't possible.

After looking in all the shops, she found a perfect dress. It was a gorgeous midnight blue, and shimmered whenever you moved. It was backless, and faded to a midnight black at the edge.

It came with matching handbag, and Hermione had makeup that would compliment the dress. There was also a pair of bracelets with amethyst studs in the pearl design. Her earrings were of pure silver and diamond, and were simple with a stud and then an ice like diamond dangling from the silver stud.

She also had a necklace with a silver chain, and a black serpent inside a circle of silver, dangling off it. The snake was constantly moving (A/N: it was charmed to kind of like move like a snake, except it stays in the circle) so it looked like it was actually real. She had received the necklace from her parents for her birthday.

Hermione was satisfied with her appearance, and changed back into her casual clothes. She went up to the counter and paid 40 galleons for the whole lot (A/N: WOW! SO MUCH MONEY! I wish I had that much money. :P)

She returned to Hogwarts, and went to find the make up that would compliment the dress and accessories. Sorting through her mother's make up, now hers, she found mascara, eye liner and several other items which would look great with her dress.

Laying everything down, she sealed the room from anybody coming in, and waited for Draco to come.

*~+~*

Several minutes passed, and Hermione was annoyed. Draco was late. Draco was never late, and right now he was late by 10 minutes. Not much but it was enough to make Hermione worry. Just as she was about to leave to go find him, he stumbled through the cupboard door.

"DRACO!" Hermione said, breathing heavily with relief. "You didn't get caught did you?" she added, her voice low.

"No. I just ran into Peeves." Draco grinned. "He was cackling like mad and was carrying a stick. He chased me around for a while before I finally summoned the stick from his hands. Then Peeves finally left me alone."

Hermione smiled. "Well?" she asked impatiently.

"Ok. Well I owled my father yesterday and he replied. I haven't opened the letter yet. Didn't have time." Draco said.

Hermione quickly snatched the letter from Draco's pocket and ripped it open. Ignoring Draco's surprise that she knew where the letter was, she began to read.

Dear Draco,
Hermione will be most welcome to stay at our manor, and she'll be
treated well. I hope that she finds the stay. . . enjoyable, perhaps
even fun. Teach her what you've learnt, and she'll do fine.
Father

Hermione looked up, puzzled at what was written.

"Draco, what is your father talking about?" Hermione said, indicating the letter.

"I wouldn't know since I haven't read it." Draco said craftily.

"Hmph! Well I reckon staying at a manor is much better than staying at THE BURROW!" Hermione said.

"Too right you are!" Draco murmured.

"Come on! We have a lot to catch up on!" Hermione said, as she pulled Draco into the secret passage. (Hermione's already unsealed the door!)

*~+~*
