Chapter 11: The Winter Ball
So far the day had been so hectic! Hermione had had to hang up the decorations and help organise everything in the great hall.
The ball started at 7 and Madame Swan had worked so hard on her and Malfoy that she thought they might actually pull it off.
At 5 all the girls dragged Hermione into Parvarti and Cho's room. They all got dressed and did their hair and makeup.
Hermione had never been one to dress up but this was a lot of fun! She was wearing her pink dress and the amazing shoes the guys had bought her.
Her hair was tied up in a bun but with some loose strands of hair hanging down. She was also wearing the charm bracelet (A/N Thanks Nat for that idea) that she had gotten for Christmas from an anonymous person.
She remembered opening the velvet red box and seeing the pure silver charm bracelet inside.
It had all her favourite things in charms hanging of the bracelet. There was a book, an "H", a lion, a toothbrush (A/N her parents) and various magical things.
She had turned the box inside and out but couldn't find a card. But she knew that who ever had given it to her knew her very well.
The bracelet symbolised everything she was about. She had fallen in love with it at first sight.
"Come on hurry up Hermione and get out of the bathroom we all want to see what you look like!" said Ginny impatiently.
"You go on without me I'll catch up," said Hermione shakily. Ginny sighed and finally Hermione heard everyone leaving.
Hermione breathed in and out. Why was she so nervous? All she had to do was keep her cool.
She was angry at Dumbledore for making her dance with Draco. She was angry with Draco for making her feel so loved then feel so empty.
She would just get this over and done with then she would go and sit with Harry and Ron.
She breathed and walked out of the room and into the corridor. She walked down the stairs towards the great hall.
She caught Ginny's eye. She was standing next to Blaise. Ginny looked fantastic.
Hermione waved and Ginny gave her thumbs up. Hermione smiled nervously and walked towards Draco Malfoy.
He was wearing black dress robes (like what Harry's wearing in the 4th movie).
Hermione, not used to walking in high-heels tripped and fell. Malfoy gave her his hand and picked her up.
"You okay?" asked Malfoy.
"I'm fine," replied Hermione coldly.
Madame Swan came up and ushered them to a secret door, which they were to come through when entering the great hall.
They heard Dumbledore usher the school to silence and introduce the Winter Ball.
He then announced the Head Boy and Girl dance.
Madame Swan pushed them though the door. The hall looked magnificent! Everything was made of glass or ice. Hermione couldn't tell.
There were amazing ice statues and figures. It looked amazing! Hermione had little time to admire the hall as Malfoy swept her into the middle and they started to dance.
"Why so tense?" mumbled Draco.
"I have to dance with you."
"Look Hermione I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything I said before it was a stupid thing for me to say. I don't care that you a Mudblood and I don't care what my parents or what anyone thinks as long we're together," said Draco, "I love you."
"…Prove it."
"What?" said Draco surprised. They were still dancing.
"Prove that you love me and you don't care what anyone thinks," said Hermione.
Draco looked deep into Hermione's brown eyes. Then he leaned in and kissed her, long and sweet. He kissed her with the whole school and staff watching.
But Draco didn't care. He was in love. They pulled apart and Hermione smiled.
"I love you too," she said softly. And with all eyes on them they went and sat at a table with Ginny and Blaise.
The hall clapped and applauded. Hermione looked over at Pansy Parkinson.
She looked like she'd just been shot. Hermione laughed in her head. Ginny winked at Hermione and Hermione smiled in return.
They ate and then Malfoy invited Hermione out for a walk. Leaving Ginny and Blaise behind they walked out into the night.
The lake was frozen over. Hermione took her shoes off and carefully stepped onto the ice.
Draco smiled and followed. They held hands and glided across the lake for what seemed like hours. Finally they stood in the middle and kissed.
Hermione felt her heart soar. They really were in love.
