READ ON and find out about the ball! And what happens. ;)
*~+~* (*~+~* is kindly taken from another story)
Hermione jumped out of bed and flew down the stairs. It was Saturday, day of the ball, night of the feast, and doomed for gloom. (see previous chapter ending)
She grabbed her cloak and ran outside into the corridor. It was freezing, and Hermione was wearing very little, but she didn't care. As she leapt down the stairs, 3 at a time, she thought about the plan for that night.
Cackling evilly, Hermione sped into the great hall. She sat down at the Gryffindor table, puffing slightly and turned to her food. There was the usual bacon and eggs (scrambled) as well as hash browns (I LOVE HASH BROWNS!) and cereal. (Well, of course they have cereal!)
Grabbing a bit of each, Hermione bolted down her breakfast and ran off again. She had soooooooooooooooooo much to do and so little time to do it.
As she ran up the stairs and through the corridors, she ran into Draco. (Surprise, surprise!) He picked her up gently, and put her on her feet again.
"Hey Draco! I've finished breakfast, so you go down and eat. I'll see you in your dorm." Hermione said, puffing slightly.
Draco tutted sarcastically and smiled. "Okay 'Mione. Just don't get caught by Potty or Weasel."
"Don't worry about those JERKS. I've already got a cover story. 'It's bad luck for you to see your partner before a ball, so don't try to see me Ron!' " Hermione grinned happily.
Draco smirked. "And they're stupid enough to believe it?" he said loftily. "Well I suppose I can't see you since you really are my partner."
Hermione frowned. "Draco!" she said, shocked. "That's rude!"
Draco chuckled quietly. "Once Hermione, always Hermione."
Sighing to himself, he swept off, his robes billowing about him.
Hermione frowned again as she tried to figure out whether what Draco said was a compliment or an insult.
"HEY! THAT'S RUDE!" she called down the corridor before heading off to get warmer clothes.
*~+~*
Hermione's day went smoothly as she spent nearly all of it with Draco. As evening neared, Hermione got more and more conscious of the time. Eventually it was 5 o'clock and two hours till the ball.
Jumping up, Hermione said, "I've got to go now. Get dressed and stuff. See you Draco!"
"Bye honey!" he replied in a sugar-coated voice.
Hermione rolled her eyes and headed off to Gryffindor tower.
*~+~*
Hermione giggled happily as she dragged Ginny off to their dorm.
Hermione quickly grabbed her dress, make up and jewelry and waited for Ginny to get hers.
Once they had all their 'stuff' they headed down to the prefect's bathroom.
"Friar fat face." Hermione whispered. The stone gargoyle (or is it a painting? I think it's a gargoyle) jumped aside, and Hermione and Ginny stepped through.
"What's with the password?" Ginny asked once they were safely inside.
"I dunno. I suppose it was a joke." Hermione said thoughtfully. "Anyways, back to dressing. Dress, hair or make up?"
"Dress first." Ginny replied, giggling.
The two girls slipped into their dresses, (Hermione also a matching coat. [A/N: sorry, forgot about the coat.]) and quickly did up all the straps etc.
"Now for our hair. Here, Ginny I'll do yours and you do mine." Hermione said, as she whipped out her wand.
Hermione twirled Ginny's already curly hair around her wand carefully. Pretty soon, Ginny's hair was straight, except at the ends where they curled round.
Ginny then took out her wand and began to do Hermione's hair in an elaborate knot. Her hair was eventually tied back (slightly high) in a knot, and it looked great with the dress.
Hermione then grabbed her make-up box (A/N: I'm no make-up artist so I'll just say they put it on. Ok?) and began to put on her make-up.
After ten agonizing minutes, they had finished putting on their make up. Hermione was now ready to go, and made a move to leave, when Ginny grabbed her arm.
"You haven't put on your wonderful jewelry yet, Hermione!" she cried, as if someone was cutting her in half.
Hermione spun around, her eyes wide in shock. "Of course! How could I forget? Silly me."
Hermione carefully clasped on the bracelets (they shrunk so it was tight on Hermione's wrists), and put on the earrings. Finally she put on the necklace, which she charmed to stay in the same position on her neck (as a precaution it didn't go FLYING!).
Ginny looked at Hermione in awe. "Wow 'Mione. You look, like, WOW." Ginny said breathlessly.
Hermione smirked. "Well, I guess it was a good choice then." Hermione then left Ginny, her jaw dropped in awe.
*~+~*
Hermione glided down the stairs to the great hall. She was breath-taking and the dress left little to the imagination (as in it was tight.). Hermione grinned at everyone and scanned the crowd for Draco. There he was, talking to (YUCK! Thought Hermione) Pansy.
Turn around! Thought Hermione furiously. Eventually he turned around and saw Hermione standing on the staircase, looking high and mighty (A/N: lol). Hermione then glided down, to look for Ron.
Eventually she found him, talking animatedly with Harry and a black-haired girl (Hermione was sure it was Cho). Hermione nearly exploded when she saw Ron's arm around Cho's waist.
Summoning her self-control, Hermione stepped through the crowd and tapped Ron on the shoulder. Immediately he dropped his arm and turned to face Hermione.
His jaw dropped in awe as he saw what Hermione was wearing.
"Wow. You look great!" he said cheerfully.
Hermione nearly slapped him in anger but didn't (thankfully) because then Draco wouldn't get to show him up.
They ate in silence when the food came up, and Hermione sat waiting for Ron to ask her to dance.
Finally, he summoned his courage and turned to Hermione.
"Um, do you wanna like, dance?" he asked sheepishly.
Hermione smiled wickedly in Draco's direction. He caught the signal and waited for them to move to the center of the dance floor.
Hermione was tutoring Ron in the waltz, when Draco stepped in.
"May I cut in?" he asked. "Weasel." He added under his breath.
Ron had no choice but to bow out. Hermione smiled at Draco.
"You touched me today! Tut tut tut!" Hermione said, grinning.
"What? But you came to my rooms." Draco murmured.
"Yes, but I never touched you, in fact, you touched me when you picked me up. I crashed into you accidently, which wasn't covered in our agreement!" Hermione said triumphantly.
"You owe me a shopping spree!" Hermione said gleefully.
"Whatever!" Draco said as he dipped Hermione.
Hermione nearly squealed but contained herself. The song finished, and Hermione went to sit down. She looked around for Ron, when she caught sight of him.
Hermione trembled in rage. Going off to find Draco, she whispered in his ear. He immediately stood up and followed Hermione. She pointed to where Ron was, and she went up to him.
Draco lingered as he watched the scene unfold.
"RONALD FUCKING WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU FUCKING CHEAT ON ME! I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE ONE WHO ASKED ME TO THE FUCKING BALL! IF IT WASN'T FOR THE FACT THAT I DON'T WANT HARRY TO LOSE HIS FUCKING BEST FRIEND, I WOULD KILL YOU RIGHT NOW! ON THE SPOT!" Hermione screamed as she waited for Ron to turn around.
She nearly shrieked with rage as she saw lipstick marks all over his face.
Whipping out her wand, she pointed it at Cho and Ron. "Right. That's it. I'm hexing you two into oblivion before you can fucking say 'I'm sorry'. Got it? One more word and you are going to get blasted out of this fucking castle without a word been said." Hermione whispered, which was worse than her screaming.
"Now I have to decide which one of you I would like to kill first. How about Chang? Well whore, if you want to live, I suggest you fuck off and go snog Ron later, because I'm going to kill you pretty soon."
" 'Mione. . ." Ron began.
"Shut up Ron. I'm not your 'Mione. You don't fucking own me alright? Now if you want your bitchy, and slutty partner to live, you better shut up." Hermione said dangerously.
"BITCH! HOW DARE YOU TALK TO RON LIKE THAT? HE WAS SO SWEET TO ASK YOU. THE ONLY REASON HE DID WAS BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE A PARTNER! AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY HIM?" Cho shrieked.
"I guess you underestimated how powerful I am. I will enjoy watching you twitch in pain (Cho's eyes [and Ron's] widened in fear), but not today because you're not worth my time right now." Hermione smiled nastily.
"Don't worry Cho. Hermione's just an oversensitive, book-reading, smart- ass, bitch." Ron comforted Cho.
Hermione narrowed her eyes. "Say that again Ronald Weasley."
"I said you're just an oversensitive, book-reading, smart-ass, bitch! Have a problem with that?" Ron asked, pratically spitting at Hermione.
"Oh yeah. I have a major problem with that. Incendio prolongus!" Hermione pointed her wand at a chair, and it burst into flames, however it didn't burn to ashes.
"Pain. I can cause you pain Ron. Without an unforgivable curse." Hermione took a step forward with every word. "I can make you burn like that chair." Hermione pointed at the chair that was still burning. "Your flesh will sizzle, but will not burn. Your pain will mount, but you will not die. Your body will boil, but not burst. I can make it happen Ron. One more word and it will happen."
Ron's eyes widened in fear and defiance.
"Leave him alone, you good for nothing bitch. You belong in Slytherin!" Cho whispered so only Hermione could hear.
"I hope you don't mind if I do this to you Cho." Hermione smiled sweetly.
Pointing her wand at Cho, she muttered something incoherent under her breath, and BANG! Thin, snake-like cords burst from her wand tip and wrapped themselves around Cho.
"And there's more where that came from." Hermione said.
"Now Ron, I don't expect to ever have the need to talk to you again. If you think it is necessary, you're fucking wrong. You even touch me I'll send you up in flames. Got that? Now if you excuse me I'm leaving. Oh and one more thing. You try and fiddle with those cords, they duplicate and wrap themselves around you. Don't even try to use a spell to take them off, because that one is a spell I made up." Hermione said before walking out of the Great Hall.
Draco took the cue and stepped over.
"What, Malfoy? Want me to keep my mouth shut about you dancing with Hermione? After all, she's only a lowly mudblood to you." Ron snarled.
"Well Weasel, you shouldn't be talking. You wouldn't want to get caught being taught how to dance by Avery. After all, you're the one that asked her." Draco smirked.
"Shut up Malfoy. You are lower than the fluffy crap on an earthworm's belly."
"At least earthworm's have a use in life, unlike dirt like you." Draco replied, sneering.
"Dirt is higher than an earthworm, literally. So don't act like it isn't."
Draco laughed.
"What is it? MALFOY!"
"Well, if you really must know Weasel, you've got juice stains all down your clothes, and there are crumbs of food stuck there too. Really Weasel, I didn't know you had to smuggle food from banquets to feed your family."
Ron went bright red and stomped off. He exited the Great Hall, leaving everyone in shock.
"Anyone else up to a challenge?" he mocked dryly.
"What you just said was really low, even by your standards."
"Oho! So scar-face wants a go too? Well, Potter, if you weren't so wrapped up in eating your fat girlfriend's face off, you would notice that you're a little out of date." Draco said as he carelessly waved his wand, making Harry's robes really old fashioned.
Harry trembled with anger. Who does this guy think he is? Muttering the exact same spell, he directed it at Draco, however the spell merely dissolved.
"Think that I wouldn't have thought of that Potty? You really are feeble- minded. No wonder you chose the Weasel. You match each other perfectly. Idiot with idiot."
"Well, Malfoy, at least I don't strut down the halls of Hogwarts boasting about money, good looks and complaining about muggle-borns all day."
"At least I have something to brag about. Look at you, Potter. Have nothing to brag about except that scar, and believe me, next time you won't be so lucky. I'm going to take away everything you have Potter, and when you least expect it too." Draco smirked.
With that, he left the hall, and a VERY ANGRY Harry Potter.
*~+~*
"How did it go?" Hermione said excitedly.
"Excellent. Couldn't have been better. Nice display of temper their 'Mione." Draco said softly.
"Yeah. It's fun to yell at Weasel. He doesn't know a thing! Honestly! Had to lend him my notes so he could do his potions essay." Hermione said as she watched Draco build a tower out of exploding snap cards.
"You should've stayed and watched. It was spectacular. Even Potty had a go!" Draco smirked.
Hermione smiled wickedly. "We have a lot to catch up on you know."
Draco turned to Hermione, eyes ablaze with mischief. "Want to catch up on it now?"
"Sounds good to. . ." Hermione never got to finish.
Draco already had her in a mind-blowing kiss. (A/N: YUCK YUCK YUCK! I CAN'T BEAR TO READ MY FRIEND'S WRITING!)
*~+~*
Hermione avoided Ron the whole Sunday, as she packed her trunk.
Harry and Ron were going to the Burrow, and Ron refused to talk to Hermione.
Harry tried but failed to bring the two to peace. He was walking with Hermione around the lake as they talked.
"Ron could've at least told me that he was cheating on me! I couldn't have cared less, but he went on without telling me. That really pisses me off." Hermione explained to Harry as they sat on a bench.
"He's pissed off because you yelled at him, threatened him and bound Cho. Nice bit of work there too. Those ropes bound half the students and teachers before Dumbledore finally managed to release everyone." Harry said with a grin.
"I made it up, so no doubt it took a long time to get off." Hermione said, shrugging.
"It was a great shot! Binding that bitch Cho. Can't believe I actually like her!" Harry said, outraged at himself.
Hermione grinned. "Well, I hear that you got into some sort of fight with Dra- Malfoy."
Harry sighed. "Yeah. So did Ron. Malfoy has this uncanny ability to smack you where it hurts the most."
Hermione's eyes glazed over. "I know."
Suddenly she snapped back to reality. There in the distance was Draco leaning against a boulder, watching.
"Hey, Harry. I've still got packing to do and I need some more stuff from the forest so see you later." Hermione rushed off to the forest and went round to the boulder where Draco was.
"Hermione, what were you doing with Potty?" Draco asked once Harry had left the grounds.
"Talking about Weasel's idiocy. It's the first time he's agreed with me on something like that." Hermione grinned as she watched Draco melt out of the shadows.
"How do you do that?" Hermione cried.
"I'll teach you once we get to my manor. It's quite simple really." Draco smirked.
"Come on. Let's get going. Still got lots to do, I mean packing. Stupid packing." Hermione grumbled.
"Bye 'Mione. See you tomorrow on the train." Draco said, his breath sending shivers of delight down Hermione's spine.
"I'm not falling for that, you sly dog!" Hermione said happily, before skipping off to the castle.
Draco smirked again. That girl always kept up her guard. An excellent trade that he was going to bring out in her stay with him.
*~+~*
A/N: Well that's it. If I haven't put you in my review thingy up the top, it's because I'm writing this on my computer. Like I write it beforehand and then I post it. I never really expect reviews so when I get them, I kinda forget to put them in! I'm really sorry!
So, how about the evil plan of seduction (On Draco and Cho's part), battle of the wits, snide remarks and a crippling curse (literally). LIKe IT? THEN R/R! Actually just review coz you've already read!?

"I'm not falling for that, you sly dog!" Hermione said happily, before skipping off to the castle.
Draco smirked again. That girl always kept up her guard. An excellent trade that he was going to bring out in her stay with him.

A/N: Well that's it. If I haven't put you in my review thingy up the top, it's because I'm writing this on my computer. Like I write it beforehand and then I post it. I never really expect reviews so when I get them, I kinda forget to put them in! I'm really sorry!
So, how about the evil plan of seduction (On Draco and Cho's part), battle of the wits, snide remarks and a crippling curse (literally). LIKe IT? THEN R/R! Actually just review coz you've already read!?
