Draco's POV:
Why was I doing this? Because Blaise convinced me to? Well not convinced but encouraged is a better word for the situation I think. I had literally never felt so nervous with having to ask this question. What if she said no?! What was she talking about with Ginny right now? Was she saying about how she regretted the kiss? Why am I even thinking about this so much? Why do I have so many questions that I am worried about? My brain can't deal with this. It's just a girl - a girl who I find really attractive and has brains that competes with her looks. I don't even know where she went so I am probably walking in the complete wrong direction and looking like an idiot.
I looked around my surroundings and noticed that Hogwarts was getting decorated for Christmas gradually. I never really liked Christmas growing up, yeah I got a lot of presents but I would have preferred my mother or father's attention over that. I got more attention from my mother but she didn't usually have time for me. My father rarely spoke to me much so I used complaining as people as an excuse to be able to talk to him. I knew that he has always cared about the Dark Arts more over his only son. My mother tried her best to be around me as much as possible but she always ended up being busy, I'm not sure what she was doing because she actually hated my father getting involved with the Dark Arts, so it is probably not something to do with that. To be perfectly honest I spent more time with the house elves than with both of my parents combined, which isn't really great.
That was when I saw her brown curls turn around a corner so I quickened my pace to catch up with her. I saw that Ginny was dragging her somewhere while the redhead was jabbering on about something and Hermione was complaining with what she was saying.
"Hermione." I said cautiously scared that the redhead was going to shout at me for stopping her. Instead Ginny smiled and pushed Hermione towards me.
"Have fun." Ginny said and then dashed off somewhere, she really was mental that one.
"Thanks for saving me." Hermione said with a smile while rubbing her arm where Ginny had dragged her.
"It's fine." I said quickly. "I was wondering if...umm-" I stopped my sentence when I saw Blaise and Ginny looking around the corner with their thumbs up at me. Hermione tilted her head to one side to encourage me to carry on. "I was wondering if maybe you would want to possibly..." I trailed off and Blaise gave me a look which encouraged me to finish. "...be my girlfriend?" Hermione looked shocked and then embarrassed before nodding.
We proceeded to just stand there awkwardly not really knowing what to do next when Blaise interrupted. "Are you two for real? You are now going out and you literally don't do anything but stand there and breathe!"
"Blaise shut up, they are dating that's progress." She said quietly but I could still hear her and I'm pretty sure Hermione could too.
"You mean we are progressing your plan of getting us together?" I interjected.
"Exactly." Ginny said cheerfully. "Wait, how do you know about that?" Ginny questioned with fear in her voice.
"We overheard you and Blaise one day." I responded with a smirk, this was pretty fun.
"Wait, you are actually going out though right? And all of those kisses were genuine?" Ginny asked looking quite upset.
"Yeah that was all real, but don't try to get involved ever again." Ginny looked frightened of the threat but in reality I didn't mind if she tried to get involved slightly; as in telling me what kinds of places Hermione likes and things like that.
"You know I wish we would have had a Christmas Party this year before everyone left, it would have been fun." Ginny said changing the subject completely.
"We can have a party for just us." Blaise suggested.
"No." Ginny said and walked off in the opposite direction. That girl might be stranger than Looney Lovegood.
"What are we doing for Christmas? It's in two days so we should have a plan." Hermione asked.
"We could use the Room of Requirement for Christmas." Blaise suggested.
"Or we could ask Professor McGonagall if we can use one of the towers because there are usually loads of rooms that aren't used." I suggested.
"Yes! We can decorate the room and everything." Hermione started getting really excited, she was cute when she got excited about something because she started smiling a lot more.
"The only thing is asking McGonagall. I personally volunteer you Hermione as you are one of her favourites." Blaise suggested.
"I'm not doing it on my own." She argued.
"Draco can do it with you." He then winked at me so I got the meaning which made me blush slightly. Hermione understood because she slapped Blaise.
"You can assist me then." Hermione said with a smile.
"I feel so awkward right now..." I said looking at the floor.
"Okay so Blaise and I will ask Professor McGonagall, we will come and tell you and Ginny when we know her answer." Hermione said with a smile.
"So I have to find Ginny and wait in the Room of Requirement?" I asked.
"Yep." Hermione said before walking off with Blaise.
