Padma walked up to Draco and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Hold on Patil let me have a minute with Hermione, My girlfriend" She smiled as he said it.
"Alright!"
Hermione turned to face Draco and waited "Listen Hermione Padma and I were talking by the lake about you and she helped me clear some things up so in favor she asked for a dance from me and I agreed to it, is that alright?"
"I don't know it depends what I get…" Hermione gave him a sly smiled and Draco kissed her.
"You know what you get." Hermione blushed and nodded.
Draco made his way to Padma waiting on him. Lavender came up to Hermione since Harry went to go get some punch for the two of them. She looked confused at Hermione.
"Why are they dancing?"
"Padma wanted a dance so Draco asked me if it was alright."
"And you said yes."
"Yeah I trust him…after all he is my boyfriend." Lavenders eyes got big "Are you serious! Hermione that so sweet how did he ask you?"
"It was more me. We were talking about my dress and he was playing like he didn't buy it so I was like my boyfriend bought it and he was like oh and who would that be…So I gave him descriptions of himself and he got the picture and scooped me up in his arms and kissed me." Hermione smiled as Draco nodded at her. He was holding Padma far way from him.
"That's cute!"
Just then Harry showed up and saw Padma dancing with Draco and shot her a confused look and she shook her head in a don't worry about it notion.
"Lavender do you mind if Harry and I dance… I'd like to dance with one of my best mates."
Lavender nodded and Harry took Hermione by the arm and started dancing to the music, every now and then getting death glares from Draco.
"Hermione care to tell me why Malfoy looks as if I'm a dead man walking?" She laughed.
"Harry don't get mad…"
"Tell me and I'll decide." She took a deep breath.
"Draco and I are dating now." Harry wasn't surprised at all "You're not mad?" He shook his head and sighed.
"Look over at Pansy and Ron." She looked and Pansy and Ron we're whispering and laughing while they held hands at a dinner table. "Now why would I get mad when Ron's doing the same thing and he already had a talk with me…?"
"Oh Harry I love you guys so much!" She pulled him into a tight hug.
"But Ron and I get him if he EVER hurts you in anyway!"
"Deal" She looked around "So Mr. Potter who do you fancy?" Harry laughed.
"Well Lavender isn't that bad she's a great girl…we'll see what happens. Were starting off slow..."
"So does this mean you guys are friends…."
"No..." as he registered who they were talking about now.
She looked at Draco who was waiting for her at the table he had picked out she smiled and made her way towards him.
"Have a good dance?" he asked.
"Great and you?"
"Not as much as you… I didn't hug mine so tight." Draco said sarcastically, Hermione laughed.
"May I have your attention please?"
Everyone turned to face Pansy and Ron on the stage.
"What are they up too?" Hermione questioned.
"No idea, but I have a bad feeling."
"Alright thank you so much! Well as you know Hermione and Draco picked the 7th year dates for this evening and let's give them around of applause." Everyone clapped not knowing where this was going "So… I wanted to give them personal thanks from Ron and me for partnering us up."
"This doesn't so good…" Draco said.
"Great! I didn't even put them together you did," Hermione was getting a little irritated.
"So they agreed to sing us all a song on off this machine thing" Pansy said as she handed Ron the Microphone.
"Malfoy…Hermione please come to the stage."
Hermione stomped her way towards the stage and Draco followed as they reached the stage Hermione noticed the machine was a karaoke machine.
"How did you get that?"
"Dad had it at the ministry." Ron smirked covering the mic. "Are you ready?"
Hermione turned to Pansy who mouthed a sorry as she laughed. Then Hermione saw the words flashing on the screen.
'Start of Something new by Vanessa Anne Hudgens and Zac Efron.' her mouthed dropped.
"Since their the ones who caused all our new friendship they agreed to sing a song on this machine for us."
Draco looked so lost and Pansy just said read the words off the screen he nodded as he took the mic.
"So Hogwarts I give you Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger."
Ron and Pansy left the stage and headed towards a table to watch. Dumbledore smiled 'I'm glad the plan went through.'
Harry, Lavender, Ginny and Blaise were standing front row. Hermione pushed the 'start' button and threw Draco and evil look as the music came on and the words came across the screen. She noticed that the names of the singers were changed to their names so it would be easier on them.
'Well here it goes' They both thought.
[Draco

He looked at Hermione who had her back at him. She smiled 'he has a nice voice'
[Hermione

She turned and smiled at him.

Once the song was done the hall erupted with tremendous applause from the students and teachers. Hermione looked over at Ron and Pansy who were smiling at them. Draco came up and grabbed her hand as they took their bow. Draco nodded at the DJ to start back up with the music as he made his way towards his friends.
"You guys were so amazing!" Ginny squealed hugging Hermione.
"Thanks! That experience was amazing! We have to thank Ron and Pansy." She motioned everyone to follow, but Harry and Lavender disappeared towards the gardens.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Ron laughed at Pansy as she started giggling about what they just did.
"Were so good!"
"Yeah if you think so…" He gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Ron felt a tap on his shoulder and found Zach's fist connecting with his face and fell off his seat.
"I don't ever want to see you kiss my girl on the cheek again Weasel!"
Ron got up with some help from Pansy. "Your girl?! She dumped you Flint!" Ron yelled clenching his fist Pansy was standing between them.
"Zach leave him alone!" Zach pushed Pansy out of the way and she hit the ground Ron then hit Zach right in the nose causing him to stubble back.
"What the hell is going on?" Blaise watched as Ginny ran to Ron who was by Pansy's side.
"He pushed Pansy." Just then Zach stood up and tackled Ron and started punching every part of him, Ron doing the same thing to Zach. Draco and Hermione rushed over and by then Goyle and Crabbe jumped in the fight and started laying hits on Ron. Blaise pulled Crabbe off and socked him right in the jaw causing him to stumble back and hit Draco. Hermione Ran over to Pansy and looked at Draco then looked at Ron who was getting his ass kicked by two Slytherins. 'She better love me after this' He thought as he jumped in and pulled Ron to the side and blocked Flint and Goyle.
"Draco you can help… hold him and I'll punch!" Draco looked at Zach and then at Goyle.
"Goyle? You barley ever do anything what made you want to beat Weasley?"
"You abandoned Crabbe and I so we have a new leader and Flint's been doing a better job then you have ever since you left us for that." He pointed at Hermione. Draco clutched his fist and looked at Zach.
"I saw him touch Pansy! I know we came off at a rough start Draco, but things can change. LET'S GET HIM!" Zach made a jump towards Ron, but Blaise had him by the back of shirt. Draco caught the look in Blaise eyes and Draco smirked and punched Zach right between the eyes. Crabbe came out of no where and tackled Draco up against the wall Ron got up and tried pulling him off, but Goyle came from behind him and started choking him. Hermione jumped up and started throwing the dinner sets at him. Goyle turned around and smack Hermione across the face and stumbled and started to fall, but Pansy and Ginny caught her. Draco saw this and mustered enough strength to push Crabbe off him he didn't feel the punch on the back of his head he was concentrated on getting to Goyle now. Ron was turning blue and Pansy started freaking out.
"RON! Goyle let him go! You're going to kill him!" She ran up and started hitting him, slapping him anything she could do trying to get Ron away, but Goyle smacked her to the side as well. Draco came up behind him and threw him in a headlock and starting beating the shit out of his head. Draco was furious when he saw him smack his girlfriend.
"Don't you ever hit them again!" Draco yelled.
Zach was running at Draco, but he moved causing Zach to tackle Goyle through the glass. The loud shatter alerted the professors who came running.
Crabbe ran over and helped pick them up. Zach turned to Draco and Blaise.
"We'll see what the Dark Lord thinks of this…see you over Break Malfoy…Zabini!" With that the three of them took off running towards the forbidden forest.
Professor Snape was there and mended the broken window and turned to them.
"I don't want to know…This dance was way too much for me already," As he motioned towards The Heads and with that he left.
The group looked at each other. Draco looked at Blaise who started to grab his arm.
"He's mad."
"Let's not talk about it here, alright," Draco moved passed him and helped Ron up.
"Thanks."
"You're alright Weasel."
"Yeah fine" he gave Draco a questioning look "What made you want to jump in."
"Cause he called you Weasel…and I'm the only one who's allowed to do that," He smirked as he caught a smile from Hermione who walked over to him and hugged him. He checked her for any injuries and kissed her on the cheek.
"You still look beautiful tonight."
Lavender and Harry emerged, Harry's hair messed up and Lavenders dress a bit off.
"So what were you two doing?" Pansy laughed as she shot the other girls a look.
"Nothing…just enjoying the stars…beautiful…yup" Harry was blushing.
"And I thought you were starting off slow." Hermione said as the whole group laughed making Harry and Lavender turn red.
"THIS IS THE LAST SONG SO LET'S SLOW SOME THINGS DOOOOOWWWWNNNN…" The DJ announced, he was playing Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls.
Ron Patted Blaise and Draco on the back "Thanks…friends?" They nodded as they all shook hands Harry looked confused and they filled him in as they grabbed their girls and led them to the dance floor. Draco pulled Hermione close and she rested her head on his chest.
"Thanks Draco."
"For what?" He looked down at her.
"For becoming friends with them" she stood back "And for giving me the most wonderful night of my life." He laughed.
"I know something that could top this night" He smirked as she playfully slapped him on his arm.
"I'm serious Draco thanks for everything."
He looked down at her "Your Welcome Hermione Granger and I must say you made it mine as well." Hermione kissed him as they swayed to the music.
