Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, I wish I did so you might actually get to see some of this published in a mini-series. I also do not own the song Eighth World Wonder.


Hermione sniffled as she ran to the Gryffindor Common Room, she began to sob and nearly choked on her own breath as she approached the entrance the fat lady sent her a sympathetic look. "What's wrong dear? Did something happen?" Hermione gave her a watery smile and said "Nothing out of the ordinary, just a Slytherin prat being, well, a Slytherin prat." The fat lady smiled down at her, "Password?" Hermione calmed down slightly and tried to remember the password. "Oh, umm... pigmypuff." The portrait swung open and she ran inside, she needed a shoulder to cry on. She ran up to the girls dorm and walked into Ginny's room. Ginny, Lavender, and Paravati were all sitting on Ginny's bed with some type of make-over kit. Ginny looked up and exclaimed "Oh Hermione! What happened!" Lavender and Paravati nodded. Hermione poured her heart out and Ginny and the girls sat listening with wide open ears.

After Hermione finished her story she groaned and said "I can't believe that I ACTUALLY thought that he could change... I'm obviously more of an idiot than I realized." Ginny shook her head. "Hermione... Being good hearted doesn't make you an idiot. Now everyone lets put our heads together in order to figure out what we're going to do about the Slytherin Prince of Prats."

Hermione looked up startled, her face no longer wet and red from crying. "Going to do? Now hold on one minute, I never said anything about revenge!" Ginny grinned evilly, the spoke in a slow manner. "No, you didn't, but I did. I think he deserves it," She then turned to Lavender and Paravati "Don't you guys think he deserves what ever punishment we can come up with?" The girls also smiled and nodded.

Ginny came back to look at Hermione, then said "Sorry Hermione, you've been out-voted. We shall now plot revenge upon the stuck up, no good, Slytherin God, who just happens to be gorgeous, named Draco Malfoy." She cackled evilly and rubbed her hands together. Lavender tapped her chin thoughtfully before grinning "I think I know just the thing." She cracked her fingers gently before whispering something to Ginny and Paravati. All three girls, who were now grinning like maniacs, turned to look at Hermione. Hermione began to back away slowly before she was pounced on. The poor girl never had a chance. And all that could be heard from the room was "Hold her down!" and "Get that!" or "Hermione, this is for your own good."

2 hours a blind fold, and several make-up necessities later they had Hermione dressed up liked a model. Ginny took the blind fold off and Hermione nearly screamed. She turned around to look at Ginny "What. Have. You. Done!" Ginny grinned "Operations Jealousy is under way."

Hermione's eye began to twitch and she turned to look in the mirror again. Her honey colored hair was curled and put up into a loose but fashionable style. Her face seemed to be painted like a dolls slightly, her make up was well down with pink eyeshadow and sparkling pink lipstick. Her dress was slightly fancy but think more along Marilyn Monroe style. Her shoes were made of glass, but they actually felt really comfortable. She looked like Cinderella out of a fairy tale.

She took a deep breath and turned to look at Ginny. "So what was the plan again?"

Ginny smiled patiently "You are going on a date with a hot guy from Ravenclaw named Jason Fuller, you already danced with him once at The Spot, but tonight your going to a different club called Envy. I hear the Draco is going there as well, don't ask me how I know because if I told you, I'd have to kill you, and then my contact would kill me. It wouldn't be pretty. Anyway for tonight I want you to forget about the prat and have fun. I'll be there, watching from a distance, if anything gets out of hand I'll show up and get you out of there. Remember Hermione, have fun! Now Jason should will be meeting you outside the tower in about 10 minutes, so relax for a little bit."

Hermione did as she was told and sat down in the common room. She muttered under her breath "Relax she tells me... Enjoy yourself she says...Ignore the prat...HA! Fat chance of that." Hermione left the tower to find that Jason was early. He smiled and offered her a red rose. She accepted and looked at him and he replied "For your beauty, knows no boundries." She couldn't help it, she giggled. He offered her his arm and said "Shall we be on our way, fair lady?" Hermione gave him an infectious smile and said "Indeed, good sir." He laughed and led her toward the carriages. And Hermione thought 'maybe it won't be so hard to ignore the ferret after all.'

When they reached the club Jason helped her out of the carriage and offered her his arm, which she accepted graciously. As they approached the door he said "Should we dance and then have dinner or have dinner then dance?" Hermione thought which would be more romantic. She gave it considerable thought before replying "The latter." He smiled, flashing his teeth in a handsome way. "I thought so too." The waiter came and took the orders. He turned toward Jason "What would you have sir?" Jason replied "I'll have the chicken picatta with extra capers, I'll have the side dish of steamed vegitables, and as for the salad I would like to have the house."

The waiter jotted it all down then turned toward Hermione "And for you miss?" She looked up and smiled "I'll have the Prime Rib, small cut. A Caesar salad and a baked potato with sour cream." The waiter wrote it all down then said "Enjoy the evening."

She and Jason chit chatted a bit and she laughed when he told a story about him as a child. Not soon after while they were chatting Jason started playing footsie with her and she began to giggle. A waiter was walking by with glass's of water and suddenly he was knocked down by someone and the water went all over Jason's lap. Jason stood up very suddenly and Hermione shouted for someone to bring napkins.

She frowned and looked around for the waited with the napkins but she saw Draco Malfoy walking by with his trade mark smirk in place, he turned back to look at her and flashed her a malicious grin. She could have screamed, not that she did anyway.

The napkins arrived and she began handing them to Jason as they came along. She smacked herself in the head and pulled out her wand whispering a spell, his clothes were dry instantly. He looked up at her and smiled "Well, that was unexpected." The food came as they ate and she noticed a bit of salad dressing on his cheek and couldn't stop herself from wiping it off with the napkin. He looked up, startled and then laughed slightly. When dinner was over he offered her his hand and asked her to dance.

She took his hand and they danced to a slow/fast song, she put her arms around his neck and lay her head on his shoulder. As they moved slowly around the dance floor the song began to pick up.

Woke up early this morning, made my coffee like I always do.

Then it hit me from nowhere, everything I feel about me and you.

The way you kiss me crazy, baby your so amazing.

Seven days and Seven nights of thunder,

the water is rising and im slipping under.

I Think I'm in love with the Eighth World Wonder.

He twirled her twice and she felt a happy adrenaline rush coming on.

I guess that I'm just falling deeper into something I've never known.

But the way im feeling, makes me realize that it can't be wrong.

You're love's like a summer rain, washing all my doubts away.

She didn't realize it at first but he had dance her outside, on the veranda.

Seven days and Seven nights of thunder.

The water's rising and I'm slipping under.

I Think I'm in love with the Eighth World Wonder.

And then... he kissed her. She stiffened at first and then decided to go with the flow.

She stopped kissing him and smiled, he nuzzled against her head.

Its only been a week, but it's coming over me.

It's making me believe that you're the only one for me.

Seven days and Seven nights of thunder...

The water's rising and Im slipping under...

I think I fell in love with the Eighth World Wonder...

"Draco..." The name slipped from her tongue before she knew what happened.
