Chapter 20
Hermione knew it was a big night, she was finally having a party to celebrate the freedom of breaking a sore relationship; she was finally letting it go. An owl had arrived bearing Narcissa's letter informing her about the venue 'Electric' and along with it there was a locket that was a portkey and it would activate at sharp eleven p.m. She had owled her friends and they had decided to come to her apartment at ten thirty.
But now it was time to get ready for the big night. She walked to her closet and took out her dress, she felt like a child as she unwrapped the delicate wrappings n placed the dress on her bed; it would be perfect. She took a long shower, wrapped a towel around her and entered her room. A quick drying spell later her hair was dry and shining, the new haircut really suited her, Draco had yet to see it as she had tied her hair when she had returned home.
Hermione wasn't one for makeup but tonight she wanted to look smashing so she decided to try some tricks that ginny had taught her. she applied minimum foundation, just enough to make her skin look spotless. She decided to go for the messy hair and smokey eye look which was very unlike her personality. She chuckled at the thought of Draco's reaction to her new look, it was surely going to be epic.
One hour later Hermione was dressed in her red and gold dress that she had teamed with five inch black peep toe stilettos. Her hair looked stylishly messy and her makeup gave her a mysterious and sexy look. Hermione wasn't vain but even she agreed that she did look sexy in that outfit. She looked at the clock and realized that her friends would be arriving soon. One last look in the mirror and she picked her golden clutch and walked to the door, she could hear Draco preparing something in the kitchen.
She took a deep breath and opened her door and walked towards the kitchen, Draco had his back towards her but he heard her coming out of her room so he said, "You do realize that because of your little break up party I'll have to eat dinner alone."
Hermione knew that he was just teasing her because of his playful tone so she just laughed. On hearing her laugh, Draco turned to say something but was stunned speechless, the glass he was holding fell from his hands and crashed on the floor but still he stood there gaping at the goddess who was surely Hermione granger.
Hermione smirked at his reaction and walked sexily towards him, making sure to swing her hips. When she was just a breath away from him she put her hand on his gaping jaw and shut it for him and whispered, " I'll take it that you like what you see."
Draco visibly gulped, he had never seen Hermione behave like this, she was messing with his mind and heart. He didn't think that he could speak so he just nodded. Just then there was a knock and the spell was broken. Hermione knew it must be her friends so she walked to the door, she could feel Draco's eyes on her so she turned around to see Draco checking out her bum. Draco blushed at being caught and turned and waved his wand to clean the mess he had created. He was having a hard time in not snogging Hermione senseless.
Hermione had opened the door and was now inviting Daphne Greengrass, Padma Patil, Tracey Davis, Susan Bones and Ginny Weasley. All the girls looked ready to party hard and were chattering excitedly, when they saw Draco in the kitchen they chorused " Hello Draco" and then went to sit on the couches where they continued their gossip. Ten minutes later there were two pops and in came Blaise Zabini and Luna lovegood, Luna pecked Blaise and then went to join her friends while Blaise went to look for Draco and found him in the kitchen drinking a butterbeer.
Blaise chuckled on seeing his friend so lost and said, "So Hermione looks hot"
Draco looked up at Blaise as if he had finally realized that he was present there and said, " Luna "
Blaise laughed, "Luna looks gorgeous and I love her but I am not blind mate, don't worry I am a taken man but you need to worry about all the muggle men who are going to be in the club."
Draco frowned at the mention of other men and said, "So you found the venue."
Blaise gave him a cocky grin and said, "you doubted my abilities, that is so sad Draco."
Draco rolled his eyes and drawled, "Stop being so melodramatic and tell me where are they going."
Blaise sighed at the impatient blonde and replied, "A muggle club named 'Electric'. I did some research and found that it is one of the most posh clubs of London and very exclusive too."
Draco looked at Hermione who was laughing at something ginny was telling her and then turned towards Blaise with a determined look and said, "As soon as they leave, we will follow them to that club, I am not willing to take any chances tonight. Looking like that I am sure she'll get a lot of attention and I am not going to let another man come within one mile radius of her."
Blaise looked a bit skeptical and asked, "If the girls see us they will surely make sure that we leave, we can't just walk in there."
Draco said, "I've got that covered and took two vials of orange colored liquid from his pocket and said, "This is a very rare potion, after drinking this anyone we know won't be able to recognize us until we want them to, to other people we'll look the same though."
Blaise inspected the liquid and then smirked, "Wicked"
Hermione went to her room to get the portkey as it was about time that it got activated, ginny took the opportunity and walked to the kitchen and said, "Blaise I'd like to talk to Malfoy alone for a minute please."
Blaise looked doubtful but nodded and went to join his girlfriend. After a minute of silence Ginny took a deep breath and said, "I wanted to thank you Malfoy, for all that you have done lately. First you saved Hermione from dying then you gave her a place to live, a shoulder to cry on. I will regret all my life that I couldn't be with her when she needed a friend the most but you did that part very well. Harry told me that you talked to him and made him see sense, it was killing him that he had hurt Hermione. Hermione was right, you are a changed man now and I am glad Hermione found you."
Draco smiled at the new Mrs potter and said, "Technically I found her."
Ginny laughed and replied, "I can see it in your eyes, the way you look at her, like she is the only person in the room, after what my brother did to her I just want her to be happy and anyone who makes her happy has my approval." With that she left, a smile on her face. Draco thought about how everyone could see his feelings for Hermione, except the girl herself.
Hermione came out of her room carrying a box containing the portkey and announced, "We have only two minutes so everyone gather around." Her friends formed a circle around the necklace and touched the chain, the chain was glowing and any moment they would disappear. Hermione turned towards the boys n gave them a cheeky grin and called, "Don't Wait up boys, we'll be late." With that they disappeared leaving the boys alone to execute their plan.
