A/N: Thanks for the reviews! This chapter has some more Dramione in it. Also, I just heard the seventh movie is going to be split into 2 parts and will be directed by David Yates (he did the 5th and 6th movies).

Chapter 15 – Halloween

It was 4:00 the six girls (from the sleepover) were all in the Gryffindor dormitories getting ready for the dance. They had changed into their costumes and were busy fixing their hair. Luna pulled hers into a bun similar to tinkerbell's. Lavender straightened her hair and put a flower in it. Parvati put loose waves into her dark hair and put on the cat ears. Pansy curled her hair and put in a red ribbon. Ginny and Hermione left their hair normal but both used a glittery hair spray.

They went down to the great hall with some of the fifth year Gryffindor boys. Harry was dressed as peter pan, he was wearing a long green shirt, green tights and a hat with a red feather. Ron was Hercules and looked great with his hair done and all the armour.

The group sat down at one of the circular tables where they were joined by Malfoy, dressed as Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty, and Blaise, dressed as Eric from The Little Mermaid, after Pansy had coaxed them into it. After dinner the music started.

A fast song came on and the girls got up to dance leaving the boys to discuss quidditch. The girls didn't come back until a slow song came on. Then they sat down to get drinks. After they had finished they randomly paired off and danced. Hermione was dancing with Ron.

As the song ended Dumbledore got up to speak, "now this is the first of three dances where you must dance with someone from another house. Hermione saw two Ravenclaws walking over. They were friends of Ginny's ex-boyfriend, Michael Corner. Hermione and Ginny danced with them. Hermione's partner wasn't very good and kept stepping on her toes, across the room she saw Harry dancing with Luna.

Soon the song ended and another fast song came on; once again the boys stayed at the table to talk. The girls walked over in attempt to make them dance. They obeyed after a small argument. Even on the dance floor they refused to dance, so the girls gave up and let them go back to the table.

Once again it was time for a dance with a member of a different house. This time Hermione was dancing with a Hufflepuff boy a few years younger than her. She had a feeling his friends dared him to ask her ask a joke, because they were sniggering a few feet away. Even the guys at her table seemed to think it was funny; she shot them a glare before letting the boy dance with her. Luckily, he didn't step on her feet once, but his hands were sweaty and every time she looked at him he blushed.

Another fast song came on and she hurried back to her friends to continue dancing, of course that was after they stopped laughing at her. That last "partner from another house" dance came and both Hermione and Ginny had to dance with a Slytherin and Pansy had to dance with a Gryffindor. Pansy was absolutely thrilled when Ron asked her, as was Ginny when Blaise asked her.

This left Hermione basically alone. She turned around and Malfoy offered her his hand, she raised her eyebrows before accepting his offer. She made sure they danced far away from Harry and Ron to avoid a fight, but the distance didn't stop Pansy and Ginny from noticing.

Hermione walked back to the Gryffindor common room with Ginny. They changed out of their costumes. Hermione put on a pair of jean short-shorts and a pink t-shirt. She walked down to the common room with Ginny. They saw Harry and Ron sitting by the fire where they saved two seats. Hermione and Ginny walked over to them.

"Are you guys sitting with us we saved you good seats?"

"Yeah, we just have to stop at the library before curfew. I want to take out a book."

"I may be a while, I'll meet you back here." Hermione and Ginny walked to the library. Each of them walked to their favourite section. Hermione was looking at some books when she heard someone move behind her. She looked around and saw Malfoy sitting at a table looking at a book. She turned back around and continued to look for a book.

Wow Granger! I've never seen you expose that much. Malfoy thought looking at her shorts.

"Nice shorts Granger." Hermione raised her eyebrows.

"What, it's just goody two-shoes Granger wearing those," he said indicating her shorts.

"What's wrong with my shorts?" she asked.

"Uh, you do realize how much of your legs are showing."

"This is barely showing anything, you should see what my muggle friends wear."

"Usually, I would request to meet your friends after hearing about their exposing wardrobe, but since they're muggles it's a different story."

Hermione sighed and rolled her eyes. "You will never change, will you? See now nothing's stopping you from being nice to people other than purebloods. Voldemort is gone and you don't have to become a Death Eater."

Malfoy's eyes widened, he hadn't heard her talk about what he said. He supposed she told Weasel and St. Potter, but she didn't bother him about it like he suspected she would. "So have you gone and told everyone I was going to become a Death Eater?"

"No, I haven't it's your business. You told me and I kept your secret."

Once again Malfoy looked shocked, he couldn't believe she didn't tell anyone. Did she think she was being loyal? Was she trying to be nice to him? Damn Gryffindors and their good morals.

"Why are you so shocked? Do you think that I am that indecent of a person to use that against you? Everyone has some good in them deep down, and I suppose that was yours. I was just trying to be nice I didn't think you, Draco Malfoy king of meanness and insensitivity, would want everyone to know that you could be nice. Anyway I'm going to meet Harry, Ron and Ginny, bye."

She started to turn around when he grabbed her arm. "Wait, why do you think I insensitive? I'm not insensitive."

"What about all those girls you have trailing after you?"

"What do you mean?"

"You're being heartless; letting each one of them think they have a chance with you. When you just want to make out with them."

"How do you know I make out with them?" He exclaimed.

"Have you forgotten I'm friends with Pansy now? And speaking of Pansy, you do know she doesn't fancy you?"

"She doesn't?"

"No, you were her closest friend in first year so she kind of just hung around with you, Crabbe, Goyle and Blaise. But it's good now she has some girl friends."

"Friends plural, who is she friends with other than you?"

"Ginny, Lavender, Parvati and Luna."

"Lavender … that name stands out."

"She was the one who made out with you the day we gave Crabbe the potion."

"She's a good kisser. Wait! Did she just make out with me to distract me from you guys?"

"Yes."

"So she doesn't even like me?"

"Well she thinks you're good looking, which no girl can deny but no, she doesn't fancy you."

"Wait you said no girl can deny I'm good looking,"

"Yes, so …"

"You said no girl, which would include you. So you must think I'm good looking too." He said this all in a triumphant voice as if he discovered a big secret.

"Yes, I can't deny you are good looking in a guy you see on TV kind of way not in a fancying kind of way." Hermione lied thankful she wasn't holding the ball of truth.

"Uh…What's TV?"

"Never mind I've got to go."

"But you still admitted you've fallen for the looks and charm of Draco Malfoy."

"Oh Please."

Once again he pulled her back, but his time it was much closer; too close for Hermione's comfort. He moved down and kissed her gently on the lips. But the kiss only lasted for a second as Hermione pulled away in shock.

"Um … I got to go," she said before hurrying to the other end of the library. He watched her sign out her book and leave the library without looking back.

Why did I kiss Granger? Duh, because you fancy her. No I can't like her. Why not? It doesn't matter that she's muggle born anymore. Well she's smart, pretty, friendly and no I can't like her it's Granger, best friend of St.Potter and weasel king. Whatever maybe I'm just tired. Yes that's it lack of sleep. With that thought he left the library and went to the Slytherin Dormitories and went to sleep.

As Hermione walked back to them common room she was flooded with thoughts.

What am I going to do? I just kissed Malfoy, no Malfoy just kissed me and what did I do I pulled away. I can't like Malfoy, but the ball of truth said I was lying when I said I didn't. This is so confusing. I know I like Malfoy, but what will Harry and Ron say. I can't tell them he kissed me they'd kill him. But what's wrong with me, I know I wanted to kiss him back, but I don't want to be one of his many girlfriends. I'm not going to fall for the whole 'but you're different' crap. Things will look brighter in the morning.

Hermione walked into the common room and sat down by Harry, Ron and Ginny.

"Wow, mione I think you just set the world's biggest record for the longest time to take out a book" laughed Ron.

"Ha Ha very funny, I bumped into someone so we stopped and talked," said Hermione giving Ginny an 'I need to talk to you later' look. Hermione put her feet up on the table in front of her and started to read. Reading always helped with her problems, they didn't solve them they just took them off her mind for a while.

With in five minutes she had completely forgot about Malfoy and the kiss and was absorbed in her book. She nearly jumped when she heard something knock on the window. She looked around and realized they were the only people in the room. She looked over to the window where she saw a brown owl waiting. She recognized it instantly, it was Viktor's owl.

Please review, it is great motivation for me to update faster!
