Hermione held the silky black dress to her skin. She didn't really feel like going but she didn't' have much of a choice now did she. Well, if she had to go, she was going to make sure she looked absolutely gorgeous. Hermione slid on the dress and applied make-up onto her face, only a small amount though. A bit of eyeliner, blush and some lipstick. Simple, yet affective.
Draco would meet her at the hall in 10 minutes so she decided to go early, she didn't want to wait. all Hermione wanted was to get to the Ball then leave, she had been thinking about something while getting ready.
Hermione had been thinking of how to get herself out of such a sticky situation. She killed Seamus, how could she undo that...A Time Turner. She had now planned to steal the Time Turner, go back and save Finnigan and resume life. Why not just stop herself from making the deal with Draco? Who knows. Rather Silly isn't it, all she would be doing is prolonging that which will ultimately ruin her life. Oh well, what's a girl to do.
Hermione walked out of her room and the common room and made her way towards the great hall where she would meet Draco. Why would he want to go anyway.
Hermione finally made it there and she walked down the stairs and peered at all the heads searching for one in particular, and it wasn't Draco. She finally spotted him, making his way towards her.
"Harry, Ron...Um...Hello.." said Hermione awkwardly as she stared at the two before her. Back then, when they were all friends, she fancied Ron. Why, she had no idea, but it was Harry who had asked her out first, and she like him too, but not as much as Ron, so she agreed.
Then he was seeing Ginny and all these other girls, and Hermione was only told a couple of days prior to seeing Harry in the Library that it was all fake. She couldn't explain it but it was true. (Yeah, Plot hole! Bear with me guys).
It was another trap for Hermione to fall into. Sheeesh, Draco was ready, he had found some other people to drink Polyjuice potion. Hermione never thought that Draco would be able to do that. Oh well, funny what a person can do when they actually try.
"Hey...Hermione.." said Ron. Harry just nodded.
"Wonderful, another awkward moment, I'll take this silence to say something that I should've a while ago..You're fags!"
Nah Just kidding...
"Wonderful, another awkward moment, I'll take this silence to say something that I should've a while ago...I'm..really sorry for everything...It's all my fault..I..I shouldn't of over reacted. You guys are my friends...and I don't want to lose that..friendship..."
Still no silence.
"Please, say something.." said Hermione, tears starting to appear.
Just as Harry was about to open his mouth Draco appeared by Hermione's side grabbed her arm and took her off into the hall.
Hermione looked back at Harry and Ron, just to watch them turn their back and shake their heads. Their friendship, well what's left of it, are probably thin layers of what remained; memories.
Hermione wasn't ready to let go, she needed that Time Turner.
"Draco..."
"What..." he snapped.
Hermione had no idea why he seemed pissed off, she was the one who should be angry...snatching her off like he did..That angered Hermione.
She stopped and slapped his hand. He stopped and looked back at her "What the fuck was that for?".
"You know very well what! Stop acting like a baby! Now get me a friggin drink, I'm really annoyed..".
"How dare you boss me around, I'm the one with the blackmail!"
"I said said NOW! Don't make me cause a scene...because I will!" Hermione opened her mouth to scream but Draco hastily put his mouth onto hers and kissed her.
For about several minutes they merely stood there kissing, then Draco broke the kiss and said "I'm thirsty...I'll be right back.." and he walked away.
Hermione figured that he doesn't like to be told what to do, so he made it as if he was doing it on his own, and he would be 'kind' enough to get a drink for her as well.
Draco returned with two cups in his hands. When he got to Hermione he shoved one into her hand and started to drink his own.
"Let's sit down.." said Draco as he grabbed Hermione's free hand again and led her to an empty table, where they both sat down. After finishing their drinks all they did was sit there while professor McGonagall got up onto the stage and said "Students of Hogwarts, I am happy to see you all here. And to say that this is the end of the term, and the beginning of your Christmas Holidays. I hope you enjoy the end of Term Ball and I cant wait to see you all next term, have a good time" and with that she left the stage and a band appeared and started playing, and everyone started dancing like mad. It's like they'd never been to a dance before.
After what seemed like an eternity Draco stood up hastily and grabbed Hermione's hand, he led her onto the dance floor and he started to dance. He is such a bad dancer. Hermione didn't want to look like an idiot, just standing there doing nothing, so she started dancing too. Sure she had better rhythm than Draco, but she wasn't that great of a dancer anyway.
Sure they were both bad dancers, but, much to Hermione's surprise, she was having a lot of fun. She started to laugh and giggle a little bit, and Draco seemed to lighten up a bit. After a while Hermione's feet got sore and she started to make her way back to her seat, but then a slow song came on, and Draco pulled her into him and held her. she had to admit that this wasn't worse than sitting down. So she stayed and didn't resist.
Hermione lowered her head to that it was resting upon Draco's shoulder. He smelt so good. He always did. Draco could be such a nice guy, why did he take everything, the world, Hermione...So negatively. Why?Is it because his father and mother was a Death Eater? Probably...But she still liked him. Wow...Hermione Granger actually liked Harry Potters enemy...Her enemy sometimes..This...was so surreal, but for some reason, she wouldn't trade this moment for anything..
Then Draco suddenly spoke "Come to my place for the Holidays.."
"I...I cant...I'm..really busy.." replied Hermione, she even felt a small bit of guilt.
"A likely story..." replied Draco with a seductive smirk, not that Hermione could see, for she was still resting her head upon his shoulder.
"No...really.."
"Look...just come please...I'm not going to beg you...I'm not like that...One more time and I'll blackmail you.."
"I said No...And that means that I would never...ever...never ever never..go to your house for the Christmas Holidays.."
