Loving the Enemy

Chapter 16

Hermione and Ginny were lying on the floor in the girl's dormitory, uncontrollably laughing.

Hermione finally choked out the words she had been trying to say for ten minutes.

"So you mean you actually went out with Neville and when he tried to kiss you, you threw up on him?" said Hermione who could not contain her laughter

Ginny was laughing and stopped and answered, "well yes, I mean he was very sweet but obviously a mistake I mean were no good for each other, and only threw up because I felt sick from something I had ate, its not that funny."

Hermione gave her a look, Ginny spoke up again "Ok maybe a little."

The laughter finally stopped, Ginny turned to Hermione and said, "Can I ask you something?"

Hermione looked at Ginny for a second taking a deep breathe then answering "Sure."

"You and Draco, How did that even happen I mean he hates mudbloods, no offense to you but that's what he calls you, or at least has ever since he met you, and I was just wandering how he could change so quickly and suddenly like you." Ginny said, her tone cautious and careful not to upset Hermione.

"Well there's some stuff that he went through and I guess he just changed his mind, decided to live a little and stop being such and arrogant little prick. He's really sweet Ginny he really is, I know what you're thinking because I thought the exact same thing. When he first started being nice to me I thought it was all an act or a ploy or something to get close to Harry or something like that, I couldn't understand what he was doing or if he was just playing a game and using me." Hermione paused for a second and then started again,

"Horrible things happened Gin, horrible, awful things happened that I cant or couldn't change and he just understood about all of it, and he was there he helped me. And I could just really he wasn't trying to screw me over and he really wanted to help. He cared and was worried about me. And I care about him too, I care about what happens to him and I want him to be ok. But there are some other feelings there to though, that are there Ginny that I just have to see if they pan out, and yeah maybe it will work out maybe it wont. But I know if it doesn't he'll still be there to take care of me, I'm not sure how I know I just do."

Hermione stopped again and looked at Ginny who was staring intently at her and then replied, " Well that's good enough for me, I hope it works out." She stopped but than started again "Mione like what Harry was saying before, you can tell me anything and if you ever want to talk I'm here for you."

Hermione turned to Ginny; "thanks I appreciate that, so you want to help me with that outfit?"

"Ok let's do this" Ginny got up and walked to Hemione's closet and stated throwing clothes everywhere.

Finally after what it seemed like to be days of searching through clothes, which was actually three hours, Ginny and Hermione found the perfect outfit. The top was a black cotton sweater that draped off her right shoulder, underneath that was a blood red spaghetti strap shirt and black bra. And then she wore black lacey panties and some light blue faded denim jeans that clung perfectly to her curves. Also with some cute red ballet flats.

The Makeup they decided on was basically nothing just some mascara and pink lip-gloss.

Ginny told her she looked absolutely gorgeous without makeup, so why fuss with something she didn't need.

Hermione and Ginny said goodnight. Hermione laid down and hoped sleep would come, but she was too excited for tomorrow to sleep.

Final she drifted off.

In the morning Hermione woke up in the morning got up and got ready slipped into her super cute outfit and was ready to go.

She still had an hour to go before Draco was going be there so she decided to go wander around the grounds. Hermione ran down the stairs and went outside to the courtyard, she loved it out here it was always so beautiful. Hermione wasn't sure what time it was but she had started spacing and realized she might be making her date wait so she started going up to the castle again, when she bumped into someone.

"Oh, sorry. Excuse me I really didn't mean to." Hermione quickly said

"No need to apologize Hermione" Draco said.

"Oh Draco, I was just about to go up to my room but you know I just…"

She stopped talking.

He smiled, " Its fine, Are you ready?"

Hermonie answered shyly "oh yes of course. Where are we going?"

Draco smirked and said "It's a surprise, come on."
