Chapter 9: A Sexy Devil?

Info you need to know: "Talking"

~A few days later. 7th October 2012. 14 days till the Halloween Ball ~

It was thankfully a Saturday so Hermione hadn't set her alarm clock to wake up her. Instead the sunbeams that shone through the curtains awoke her. She sighed and moved away from them but then opened her eyes a few minutes later when she couldn't go back to sleep. Hermione looked at the clock 8.30am.

Sighing once more Hermione flung her cover off her and went to get dressed. She threw on a black blouse that hugged her nicely and some blue jeans and black small heeled boots. Of course she put on a black jacket to cover up her torso, she still wasn't the type of girl to show off her body. Even though secretly most of the guys wished she would.

Hermione then remembered it was a Saturday and that it was the Saturday. The one where she was going to go into Hogsmeade and shop with Ginny and the girls for a costume. A costume for the Halloween Ball. Where Draco was her date. Hermione smiled at that. Draco and her were a couple now and she could still hardly believe it. They had been going out 5 days and it seemed as if they always had been. Though Draco and Hermione didn't tell anyone about their relationship fear of Draco's father learning about it. Yes, Draco's father was still very much a problem. So was the Dark Lord.

Hermione shook her thoughts away of the Voldemort and walked out of her shared bedroom and down the steps. All the Prefects were down in the common room this morning. The girls chatting excitedly about the Halloween Ball (except Pansy whom was sulking in a corner) and the guys just adding one or two comments. Except for Ron wasn't one of those guys because he too was sulking in a corner. Though not the same one as Pansy.

Draco looked up when he heard footsteps and smiled when he saw his girlfriend heading towards him. She smiled back and seeing as there were no free spaces sat on the armrest of Draco's seat. Ginny was of course there and so was Blaise. He had brought Lavender with him; he and Lavender were closer now. Seeing as they were each other's date to the Ball.

"Morning, 'Mione." Harry greeted her friend. Hermione tore her eyes from Draco to look at her best friend and smiled at him.

"Morning, Harry. Morning all." Hermione replied. "What time did you guys want to leave for Hogsmeade?" Hermione directed that at Ginny and Lavender.

"Well I promised that we would meet Padma and Parvati at The Three Hogsmeade at 9.00am, we should probably go soon." Ginny said. Hermione nodded and got up.

"Okay, let me just grab my bag." Ginny nodded and Hermione walked back up to her room. Draco watched her go and quietly slipped away while everyone else was talking with one another. He thought no-one saw him go up towards where Hermione had gone to but he was wrong. A certain someone sulking in the corner saw him and glared while they thought what the hell Draco was doing up there alone with Hermione.

Draco creeped into Hermione's room, her back was too him as she searched through her trunk for her shoulder bag and purse. Draco smirked and wrapped his arms around her waist. She jumped at first seeing as she thought she was alone. But smiled as she realised only one person would wrap their arms around her waist. She turned around in Draco's arm so she could face him. He smiled at her and she went on her tip-toes slightly and he leaned down slightly till their lips met.

It started off just a sweet, slow kiss but Hermione for once wanted to deepened. She nibbled playfully on Draco's bottom lip, he smirked into the kiss and opened his mouth so she could enter. She did so immediately and her tongue ventured in his mouth. Their tongues fought for dominance and like everytime they did Draco won. Though Hermione wasn't complaining about that.

One of Hermione's hand had stroked along Draco until it finally reached Draco's hair and she dug into it, playing with it slightly. The other hand went onto his firm chest and just rested there. Draco's arms had wounded round Hermione's waist and he held his hands together there. They continued to snog until they were breathless. Hermione was the one to pull away. Albeit reluctantly. Draco rested his forehead on hers until their breathes were back to normal. When they were finally back to normal even breathes, Draco placed a sweet kiss on her forehead. Her eyes fluttered closed at that then opened when he let go of her waist.

"Good Morning." Draco said quietly, smirking. Hermione smiled at that.

"It is now." She replied and picked up her bag which she had dropped sometime during their passionate snog.

"So are Lil Weasley and the others going to steal you away from me the entire day?" Draco asked, smiling softly. Hermione grinned at that.

Draco and Hermione were always together before they started going out but now they were inseparable. But not noticeably. Of course they separated in The Great Hall and in classes but as soon as they got out of the hall and out of classes they found each other. Sometimes they would go to the library where it was secluded and snog or they would just sit somewhere and laugh with each other. Whenever they were out and about they made it look like they were still just friends. Though Draco did 'accidentally' brush against her hand. A lot.

Hermione felt a little guilty not telling Harry or Ginny and Draco felt the same towards Blaise. But they couldn't risk it. Hermione though had suggested telling their best friends the day after the Ball because they both knew at the ball seeing as they were each other's date they wouldn't be able to hold back. Draco agreed to that. So after the Ball they would tell their best friends and make them swear not to tell anyone. They still didn't want to announce their relationship to anyone because of the dangers that would surely come if they did.

"Sorry but you can't come with if that's what your hoping." Hermione replied. "After all I'm going to keep my costume secret." Hermione winked at him and he grinned at that. He loved it when she was in her playful mood. He thought her to be very sexy when she was.

"Oh? So I'm not even aloud to know what you're going as?" Hermione smiled and shook her head. She walked two fingers up his chest and tapped his nose.

"Nope." She said when she tapped his nose. Popping at the 'p'. Draco once again wrapped his arms around her.

"I'll tell you what I'm going as if you tell me." Draco whispered into her ear, seductively. He smirked as he did so, he knew that saying it like that made Hermione melt. Hermione sure enough felt weak at the knees but knew what her boyfriend was trying to do. So she didn't fall for it.

"You'll just have to be patient, Draco." Draco sighed and let go of her and pouted she giggled.

"Not fair." He muttered his complaint under his breathe. Hermione giggled again and took a step closer to him. She went on to her tip toes so she could whisper seductively in his ear.

"Good things come to those who wait." And with that whispered seductively in his ear by his little Gryffindor Princess Draco gulped. He grinned excitedly and Hermione brushed her lips against his and left her room. Leaving Draco to wonder what exactly were those 'good things' going to be. He smirked as he let his imagination run wild. Damn, was it going to be a good night.

~Hogsmeade, The Three Broomsticks.~

Hermione, Ginny and Lavender entered The Three Broomsticks and shivered seeing as it was snowing outside and was cold. They spotted their friends at one of the tables to the right and smiled at them. Lavender and Ginny went over to the Patil twins while Hermione ordered them all a pint of butterbeer. When the barman handed them over to her she thanked him, paid him and then somehow managed to carry all of them over to the table. The girls thanked Hermione and then each took a sip of the delicious butterbeer. Then they broke into conversation on what costumes they wanted to buy.

"I'm definitely going to be angel, seeing as Harry wanted that." Ginny said, smiling.

"Blaise asked me to dress up as a bunny." Lavender giggled, Hermione rolled her eyes at hat. Typical Blaise. No doubt Lavender was going to be buying a very revealing costume. It was the type of thing Blaise would love.

"We're not sure what we want to go as yet." Padma said and looked at Parvati and she shrugged. Then the girls all turned and looked at Hermione, questionably. Hermione knew exactly what she wanted to go as and blush at the thought of telling them. Though only Ginny noticed that and smiled knowingly. Hermione pretended to look as if she didn't have a clue what she wanted to go as. Like Parvati she shrugged.

"I'm not sure either." Hermione lied.

"Don't worry, we'll find something for you to wear! Something that Draco will love." Lavender giggled. Of course she wasn't a prefect so she didn't know about the fact that Hermione had to go with Draco (she wasn't complaining though). The only people who weren't prefects that knew about Dumbledore's orders was, Harry, Cho, Blaise and Ginny. Harry couldn't not tell Ginny and Hermione and Draco couldn't not tell Blaise. So they knew though they promised not to say anything.

"Oh yeah. I almost forgot you managed to bag the hottest date, Hermione! I'm so jealous of you. Draco's so gorgeous. Not to mention sexy!" Parvati said and sighed dreamily. The girls giggled agreeing.

"Well we got to make Hermione look just as sexy!" Lavender exclaimed. Hermione looked panicked for a split second. She didn't want the girls to pick something out for her. Hermione knew what she wanted to go as she was just a bit embarrassed to tell the girls. She would've told Ginny but couldn't without the others hearing. Ginny saw Hermione's brief panicked look and frowned.

"I need the loo. Come with, Hermione?" Hermione looked at Ginny who gave her 'we-need-to-talk' look. Hermione nodded and the two of them told the girls they would be back in a minute. Ginny pulled Hermione into the girls toilet but of course didn't really need it.

"What's going on, 'Mione? What is it you're not telling me?" Ginny asked, slightly worried. Hermione sighed but didn't try and lie to her. Ginny would only get the truth out of her later and be angry at her for lying.

"Iwanttogoasthedevil." Hermione muttered quickly, a flush slowly rising to her cheeks. Ginny frowned at that, not understanding what she said.

"What?" Ginny asked, bewildered. Hermione sighed again and took a deep breath and looked at Ginny in the eye. A burst of bravery flowing through her.

"I want to go as the devil." Hermione said, sounding more confident then she felt. Ginny raised her eyebrow at that. Surprised someone like Hermione would want to go as the devil. Ginny grinned wickedly.

"I'm assuming you mean you want to dress up as a sexy devil?" Ginny asked, still grinning. Hermione sighed again and nodded dejectedly. Ginny chuckled.

"Well that can be arranged." Ginny said and dragged her out of the loo. They sat back down and Ginny was thankful to find the others were still talking about costumes.

"I've just thought of the perfect costume for Hermione." Ginny announced. Hermione looked at her just pretending to be just as confused but intrigued as the others. Though she knew what Ginny was going to suggest.

"Oh? What? Tell us!" Lavender squealed excitedly. Ginny smirked.

"The Devil." Ginny said simply. They frowned at that though. Not sure how to picture the angel-like girl as a Devil.

"You mean like a sexy devil?" Parvati asked and Ginny nodded.

"Yep. It's perfect. No-one would expect Hermione of all people to show up as a sexy devil. Every girl will be jealous as all the boys stare at her." Ginny explained. When they thought of it like that they squealed and clapped their hands.

"You right it's perfect!" Lavender exclaimed and got up and dragged Hermione with her. "We have got to find it now!" and with that Lavender dragged the Gryffindor Princess out, much to her protests. Hermione gave up after a few minutes seeing as the blond haired beauty was set on finding Hermione a 'sexy devil costume'. God, please don't let it be too sexy. Hermione prayed silently. Though knowing Lavender that wasn't too likely.

A/N: So is Lavender going to make Hermione look like a complete slag or is she going to reign it in? Also which person sulking in the corner saw Draco go up? Ron or Pansy? The latter question being answered soon, and the first sort of answered next chapter! Hoped you liked this chapter, review telling me you thoughts of it! Thanks :)

Until next time – Tilda.
