It's midnight in the Uk. So next chapter for my fellow readers/reviewers. Don't forget to review!!!
I don't own Harry Potter he belongs to JK Rowling but I wish I did own him but it shall never be...=(
I don't own the song by Alexi Murdoch I heard him from the OC so whenever you've got a spare moment listen to it as you read this or when they're still dancing. This chapter makes me laugh a bit. Ron,Harry,Ginny know who Hermione's dancing with and the clever witch hasn't a clue!!I've done my best attempts at wooing...I don't woo alot of people so it might be bad.
It all started with...
Chapter 10
A secret.
"M."
"Yes?"
"It's almost eleven."
"I know."
"Have you been to the muggle world?" Hermione and Draco were lounging side by side outside; Hermione was staring at the night sky. Draco was staring at Hogwarts. They had been talking ever since they left the Great Hall.
"No. My father won't allow me to." Draco replied sadly.
"Oh...sorry...so have you enjoyed yourself this evening?" Hermione said looking at him. Draco smiled and held her hand.
"I have. And do you Hermione Jean Granger wanna ever see me after tonight?" Draco took a deep breath and looked at her.
"I'll have to think about that." Hermione said looking like she was pondering over it, she noticed how M's face looked and she added. "Of course! I really do like you!"
"So come midnight you won't run away?" Draco had stood up and was staring at her intently. Hermione got up and very hesitantly she placed her hands on his shoulders and gave him a quick kiss. Draco stood dumbfounded.
"Does that answer your question?" He chuckled slightly and took her hand; they walked around the fountain and stopped when M picked up something. With a flick of his wand Hermione noticed it had transformed into a white rose.
"Something I learnt when I was going out with someone." Draco muttered handing her the rose. "Come on."
"Thank you..." Hermione said taking the rose; she gave it a quick sniff before running after him. "No one has ever done that for me before!" She said sniffing the sweet scented flower

Well I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
Yes I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother standing by
Hermione and Draco had entered just as they started to play slow songs. There were so many students still dancing while other students were chatting, sharing their excitement. He took Hermione's hand and started to slow dance with her, his right hand on her waist while his other hand was on her shoulder. Hermione rested her head on his shoulder inhaling his scented cologne. She had to admit she had smelt it before...she glanced up at M, no he wasn't Draco! Draco wouldn't even dare do something so cruel.
With my brother standing by
I said Brother, you know you know
It's a long road we've been walking on
Brother you know it is you know it is
Such a long road we've been walking on
Ginny watched as Hermione danced with some guy, she looked closely at him and the visible blonde hair made tighten her grip on Harry's shoulder. "Oh no!" She muttered.
"What?" Harry asked concerned. He followed were Ginny was looking and froze; his best friend was dancing with the enemy! Hermione hadn't a clue! "That bastard!" He didn't interrupt them but he kept a watchful gaze on them.
And I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my sister standing by
With my sister standing by
I said Sister, here is what I know now
Here is what I know now
Goes like this..
Ron had stopped dancing to make out with his girlfriend but when he went to get them some drinks he noticed Harry and Ginny watching a girl dance with some masked guy. He caught sight of the blonde hair and realised who it was. Then he glanced at the girl again. He nearly dropped his drinks when he saw that it was Hermione!
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, in your love, in your love
"Hermione." The girl lifted her head up at him smiling. "I'm going to kiss you now." The girl blushed bright red bringing out a contrast on her dress.
"Hey. You've got one question left." They had been playing twenty questions to better understand each other. They both had one question left. Draco smirked at this. He twirled Hermione out then back in again.
But sister you know I'm so weary
And you know sister
My hearts been broken
Sometimes, sometimes
My mind is too strong to carry on
Too strong to carry on"Do you think you made the right choice asking me to the Winter Dance?" Draco asked. Hermione looked at him intensly.
When I am alone
When I've thrown off the weight of this crazy stone
When I've lost all care for the things I own
That's when I miss you, that's when I miss you, that's when I miss you
You who are my home
You who are my home
And here is what I know now
"I'll let you know." Hermione replied as she rested her head on his shoulder.
Here is what I know now
Goes like this...
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, in your love, in your love
Harry glanced towards Snape and was curious and startled by the fact that he was frowning at Draco. His thin lips were barely visible, his eyebrows burrowed with contempt. He looked at Hermione she looked visibly happy. What lies has he told her? Ginny let out a heavy sigh as she watched them smile and talk.
Well I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
Yes I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother and my sister standing by
With my brother and my sister standing by
With my brother and my sister standing by
"Now students in less than five minutes the unmasking shall begin." McGonagall said loudly capturing the students attention, for some students they were happy, other's weren't. Hermione stared at M. He had promised to tell her his name when the unmasking began.
Harry and Ginny had found Ron and urged the boy not to overreact. "Wait until the unmasking!" Ginny whispered.
"Hello it's Malfoy!" Ron argued back. "He's evil! He's the enemy!"
"We do know that! But the unmasking is about to begin!" Harry muttered angrily. They walked back to the dance floor.
"Ready?" Draco muttered to Hermione.
She smiled at him. "I can't wait!" Draco swallowed down the hard lump inside him.
"5...4...3...2...1. you may remove your masks!" A loud voice said coming from Dumbledore. Harry and the others pulled there's off quickly. They glanced towards Hermione and Draco. She pulled down her mask and looked at M. He had a nervous look about him as he untied his mask.
Hermione's face was series of emotions, excitement, surprise, shock, betrayal, anger, hurt, sadness... "Draco?" She muttered. Draco tried to smile but he couldn't manage it. "I-I need to sit down." She rushed outside and sat on the stony steps. Draco rushed after her.
"Hermione it was the only way-" Draco started but was cut off by Hermione's anger.
"The only way for what? To get information? Was it a joke to you? To play with my emotions?!" Hermione yelled beating him up as she sobbed.
Harry and Ron had rushed out and glared at Draco. "Leave her alone!" Ron hissed dangerously. Draco went down a step. Harry hugged a tearful Hermione.
"Hermione listen! I care about you!" Draco pleaded.
"Didn't you hear? GET LOST!" Ron yelled pushing Draco away. Hermione looked at Draco.
"Just go." She whispered tearfully. Ginny had now rushed out of the Great Hall, she ushered Hermione upstairs into the common room Ron and Harry followed behind her. Draco went back inside the Great Hall, he picked up her mask and it wasn't till he was in his room that he let himself break down. Then he got up suddenly. Who was he? He was Draco Malfoy. He'd stand up to this. He had to tell her!

"Don't ask me any questions!" Hermione sobbed staring at Harry and Ron. "You wouldn't understand." She hurried inside her room Ginny quickly kissed Harry on the cheek before following her. Ginny found Hermione on her bed sobbing. "I thought he had changed! I feel such a fool!"
"We are all fools in love." Ginny said rubbing her back gently. There was a sharp knock on the girls' door. Ginny got up and saw Harry was there. "Yes?"
"He's here. He wants a word with her." Harry said glancing back to the Fat Ladies portrait.
"Hold on I'll ask her." Ginny turned round and saw Hermione had gotten up and was walking towards her. "Are you going to speak to him?" She gave a quick nod and left the girl common room, she wiped away her tears only leaving small dark patches from her mascara. Harry and Ron stood still and watched as Hermione went outside.
"You wanted a word with me?" Hermione asked sounding calm. Draco had been leaning over the banister; he whipped round and looked as pale as she did.
"To explain really...see at the beginning I was being stupid me. The guy that thinks he's highly than everyone else...but then I got to know you better and everything changed! I started to like you!" Draco said glancing towards her.
"Then why become M?" She demanded. She was hurt and upset but she could sense he was truly sorry.
"A way to get to know you better. I couldn't exactly rush up and start having a friendly conversation. You would've thought I had lost the plot!" Hermione nodded giving him a small smile understanding his logic.
"Look...I...I don't know. After the holidays we'll talk again but right now I'm still angry at you. I need a little time." Draco nodded. "But everything is different." He nodded again. She waved him goodnight and re-entered the Gryffindor common room. Little did she know Draco had told another lie.
"What did he want?" Ron demanded. Hermione looked at them.
"Nothing. Just to say sorry." She replied smiling at them. "Now I don't want any hassle over this during the holidays!" They nodded quickly, Hermione had a way of making herself look like Mrs Weasley, it scared them sometimes. "Goodnight. Now go to bed! We're catching the first train back tomorrow!" The boys scrambled up to their dorms. Hermione wandered to her bed and with the help of Ginny she was undressed and in her own pink bed clothes.
Yea' I know you were hoping a bigger reaction,I'm good at big heartaches but I just didn't feel it here but the next heartache will make you cry. Well I got good news and bad news. Good news this story is gonna continue bad news is Hermione's gonna be pretty mad at Draco for the next 3 chapters. He deserves it! So in a way Draco told half a lie. So he kinda told her half the truth. I'm gonna do another poll there fun to do. Heehee =)
How should Draco make up to Hermione?
A- Do a Seth Cohen (The O.C) and stand on something and confess something to her.
B-Give her a bunch of flowers.
C-Your choice 'cause I've run out of ideas.
