Ch 3: Jealousy Rears Its Ugly Head
Hermione took a shower making absolutely positively sure that Draco couldn't get in, hell with how many spells she had in the bathroom not even Voldemort himself could get in. The bathroom was the safest place in the universe, safer than Hogwarts and Gringotts combined. After she took a shower she enlisted Ginny's help in picking an outfit. They were both at a loss of what for Hermione to wear; they had 2 outfits put out. Ginny's eyecaught something in Hermione's closet. She squealed in delight, as she took it out and matched with a shirt and hat. Both girls cheered loudly enough to raise the founders from their graves! Hermione put the outfit on, followed by make-up, finally spending the last 45 minutes arguing with Ginny about what to do with her hair; she finally finished and took a deep breath before looking in the mirror. She looked absolutely stunning. She wore a white lace halter top that was see through on some parts and a jean mini-skirt, topped with a navy Capri cap, her hair was a mass of curls held in check ((barely)) by a burette with her bangs to one side of her face covering part of her eye. She wore light mascara with royal blue eye-shadow and cotton candy pink lipstick. She and Ginny grinned, Ginny broke the silence "Hermione, take this." She said handing her a pocket notebook. Hermione cocked her head "What's this for?" Ginny smirked "Well Hermione I want to know exactly how many boys ask you out, for results to show Fred and George to prove to them that my skill for transforming/makeovers ISN'T a waste of time." Hermione was going to protest but her friend was puppy dog pouting, she owed Ginny this at least.
She sighed "What is it with my friends and PUPPY DOG POUTING?" She said dramatically, Ginny simply burst into giggles in reply. She grabbed Hermione by the arm "C'mon, you are gonna be late, and then Harry will never forgive you for making him late for his date with Kaya!" Hermione appeared in the Gryffindor Common room to find Harry waiting. He turned around and his eyes bugged out like they did at the ball, his mouth opened to speak but nothing came out giving anyone who walked in the impression he was drooling. Ginny began going into hysteric fits of laughter and couldn't help herself as she clung to Hermione for support. Harry snapped out of his astonishment, and turned the color of a ripe cherry.
"Well we'd better get going before Kaya starts yelling at me." It took all of Hermione's 7 years of control; that she gained not to laugh at Ron or Harry, to suppress the enormous urge to giggle uncontrollably. Harry met Kaya outside the castle by Hagrid's Hut. Her sapphire eyes sparkled at the sight of Harry, Harry felt very out of place on the way to the Spot. Hermione and Kaya were giggling and play truth or dare with each other the entire way there. Till Hermione received a dare that made her blush, but she gave Kaya her dare as well. Both began blushing as the scooted from their side of the carriage over to Harry's, Hermione on his right with Kaya on his left the looked at each other and giggle slightly before each placing 2 soft kiss's each on Harrys mid-jaw before sprinting to the other side to watch Harry's face turn bright pink and his glass's start fogging up. Hermione and Kaya were both sent into fits of laughter in their seat. They finally arrived at the club, Harry by now has returned his to his normal albino shade, and the girls have calmed down. The girls went inside and found a table while Harry ordered them some drinks. Kaya cocked her head at him when she realized he didn't get a drink, he saw the look and chuckled slightly "Someone has to stay sober to get you two back to Hogwarts safely…." Then as an after thought he said "Even if, no I take that back, especially if I have to carry you two back." The girls merely shrugged, and Kaya beckoned Harry to come dance. As the couple left the table Hermione sat drinking her butterbeer completely oblivious to the many eyes following her movements. Two storm cloud orbs especially…… Hermione was soon approached by a very handsome boy; he had dark chestnut hair with violet eyes. He approached her gently and held one hand out "M'lady would you care to give this unworthy one a dance?" Hermione finally recognized the boy as Jason Filler a 7th year ravenclaw. She smiled, his eyes dancing flirtingly with hers, her hand in his, he lead her to the dance floor as the two of them began to sway to the rhythm of the music. When Kaya and Harry got back to the table Hermione was no where in their sight, they saw her dancing with Jason and both had the identical Cheshire cat grins on their faces. After a little poking and prodding Harry finally broke down and got a butterbeer all the while watching Hermione. But Kaya and Harry weren't the only people watching them dance oh no, nearly all the boys in the room were glaring at Jason's back in sheer jealousy, all of them angry but no angry gaze could even come close to comparing with a platinum blondes in particular, Draco Malfoy was glaring daggers at Jason which if the saying 'If looks could Kill' were true, Jason Filler would be 7 feet under his grave by now. But he had eyes only for Hermione, after the song ended Hermione went back to the table once again missing a chat with Harry and Kaya. But her disappointment didn't last long as sure enough she was bombarded by boys asking her to dance. The Slytherin prince's mood darkened very, very, very quickly. Any boys who saw Draco's look of utter hate and had a thought of asking Hermione to dance very quickly dismissed the thought.
Hermione was very tired at this point but continued to dance the night away. Draco found the opportune moment when he saw Hermione lay her head on the table, the boys who had dared not ask Hermione to dance watched in amazement as the Slytherin prince found his way to the Gryffindor princess and held out his hand to her. Hermione saw the hand and was about to refuse when she looked up to see that it was Draco, her mind didn't register who he was because it was focused on how the graduation would go, her mouth opened to make an angry remark but her beat her to it. "One for old time sake… Please?" He said a hint of desperation in his voice. She looked at him only now realizing just how handsome he really was. She looked up at him, her honey orbs glowing brightly, and nodded. She put her hand in his and he lead her to the dance floor. Irony had its way with Hermione. Good thing it was slow, so she didn't have to move so much and were herself out, bad thing it was slow and everybody knew how a slow dance was supposed to be.
Everybody wants to be loved
Every once in awhile
We all need some one to hold on to
Just like a helpless child
Can you whisper in my ear Let me know 'It's alright'
Draco felt his pulse going a million miles a second, he was very, very, very happy now.
It's been a loooong time coming down this road
And Now I know What I've been Searching For
A long, long, time coming…..
The song ended and Hermione felt like she was gonna pass out, and that is what she did.
Draco Carried her bride style to the carriage back to Hogwarts and put her in his bed, since she locked her door. He slept on the floor and waited for her to wake up…………
A/N Well folks what do you think? Review please!
