Ok I'm back finally! Here's the next chappie.

Disclaimer: I don't own harry potter


Hermione looked at herself one last time in the mirror, making sure everything was in place. A satisfied smile slid onto her face as she took in her overall appearance. Her eyes flitted to her hair which lay straight and smooth down her back just like before but now she had side swept bangs that accentuated her honey brown eyes and the tips of the deep coffee brown strands were a bright red, giving her a sexy fire goddess look with her smoky black eye shadow and shimmering red lip gloss. The red complimented her, making her stand out.

Next her gaze traveled to her outfit. She wore a new red mini and as a top she was wearing a simple black tank that made her new red tips stand out. Her shoes were black ballet slippers, completing her ballerina-gone-bad ensemble.

A honk outside broke her out of her reverie. Grabbing her purse, a water bottle and magically locking her bedroom door, 'Mione apparated into the backyard.

"'Mione you look awesome!" Megan shrieked. Hermione ran up to them sporting a huge smile.

"Aw thanks Megan." Hermione said , hiding a blush as she noticed Aaron was staring at her slack jawed in amazement. "Now let's go!" She said hopping in the car. Her two friends piled in and she felt a new rush of adrenaline as Aaron revved the car engine up, and then they were off, tearing out into the night.


"Jeez Blaise get your arse down here we're late!" Draco shouted at his bathroom door.

"Relax man it's not like we're meeting anyone. Besides a man's got to look his best if he wants to catch some fine ladies." Blaise's muffled voice yelled back.

"Yeah but you take longer than a woman to get ready!" That comment got Blaise out of there in a hurry. Blaise emerged from the bathroom wearing a blue open button up over a white tank, with baggy blue jeans. Malfoy couldn't understand why blaise was worried so much about attracting girl's they'd walk through the door and he'd immediately have five or six girls falling all over themselves to get Blaise's attention.

Not that it was any different when Malfoy walked through the door. Even in his plain black muscle shirt and black jeans. In fact he was probably the best looking and the most popular out of the two of them but it was close. Draco just wasn't interested in girls that basically paraded themselves in front of him, wearing signs that said "Take me I'm yours". I HATE it when girls just throw themselves at me. I like it when there is a challenge, a chase. Like Hermione…What the hell am I thinking!

Draco visibly shook his head, trying to rid himself of his rebellious thoughts. But even though they were impossible there was… some truth to them.

"Ready mate?" Blaise asked. Without answering Malfoy apparated with a loud pop. Blaise shrugged and followed suite.


Hermione had already fallen victim to the infectious dance techno that filled the room, her ears, mind and thoughts. Walking in, the beat had snagged her feet and before she knew it she was on the dance floor.

As she danced several hopeful guys had attempted to keep up but she found faults in all of them. One was slightly out of step with her, another's timing was off, too many couldn't keep the beat, no one could dance like Drac… Malfoy.

Soon she would grow tired of her pathetic partners and push them away or dance so intensely that they could not follow, another fault. Her frustration was building and her patience dwindling, she let herself fall into the music entirely in an attempt to release it.


Draco's ears were greeted suddenly with the metallic melody and deep bass of a fast paced song. She was here. He couldn't explain how, but from the second he had landed on the floor he knew she was somewhere in this building dancing, without him.

This thought brought an uninvited feeling of anxiousness and … anger? Ignoring these emotions, Draco turned his mind back to his earlier thoughts. She was here and he was going to find her.

"See ya Blaise." Draco said swiftly, pushing past the twittering girls that had gathered around him. Seeing them brought Pansy into his thoughts which in turn made him cringe. Blaise however was blissfully unaware of his friend's strange behavior or his sudden departure. Blaise was far to amused with a tall blonde that had just strut up to him and introduced herself to notice anything his 'dear' friend said.

Malfoy found her ten minutes later and when he did, he wished he hadn't. Hermione was dancing amazingly as usual but much to his surprise Draco found that she was not alone. Jealousy flared up in him. This feeling, being quite new and unusual to him made him stop and observe his thoughts in disbelief. Until, that is he saw the scrawny guy dancing with Granger move his hands to her waist.

Something in Draco snapped at that and without thinking or even realizing what exactly he was doing Malfoy was taking slow easy strides towards this… this intruder. Standing behind the in Malfoy's opinion, fairly stupid guy, he tapped him sharply on the shoulder.

"Bug off." The tall kid answered irritably, which only sent Malfoy further into a VERY angry state of mind.

"No" Draco answered shortly. Making the kid turn around ready to hit whoever it was ruining his dance with the hot chick in front of him. He stopped short though and backed of slightly when he saw Malfoy was the one tapping him.

If there is one thing that Malfoy's are exceptionally good at its intimidation tactics, and Draco is no exception.

"I think you are done dancing with her correct?" Malfoy stated threateningly.

"No wh- " The guy started but cut himself off as Malfoy shot him a dangerous smile. "Uh yeah she's all yours cya" The guy answered quickly, then turned and pushed his way through the crowd quickly, trying to put as much space as possible between himself and Malfoy.

"Coward." The transition to the next song started and Draco picked up the strands to the new beat, his hands moving to Hermione's waist.


'Mione who had been so caught up in the beat that she hadn't noticed any of what had just taken place between Malfoy and nuisance number seven (the guy dancing with her). None of her frustration or tension had released leaving her even angrier at how little success she'd had in ridding herself of it.

Suddenly she was broken out of her trance by a set of very familiar hands on her waist. Automatically she snaked her arms around the neck of the guy behind her, not needing to turn around to know who it was. The warmth of his touch seemed to melt away all her previous frustrations leaving her feeling much more relaxed and at ease.

"I almost didn't recognize you." A husky voice whispered in her ear, "But I like the new look."

"Thanks," an easy smile slid onto her lips.

Now they were once again completely in tune with one another, completely enthralled with the music. Hermione turned to face Draco, he didn't let go, leaving his arms wrapped tightly around her waist. The lack of space between them made Hermione's breath hitch, Draco was too caught up in her eyes to notice. The beat filled every cell of their bodies, blocking all logical thought. In the throng of dancing bodies they were just two people. Not mortal enemies, not a witch and wizard, but two people that to anyone who didn't know them, looked completely and totally… in love.


Kk that's the end of this chappie new one really soon so stay tuned! Tell me what you think. Good? Bad? Ideas? Whatever they are all welcome.
