It's Friday, the day of the dance. Some people have gone to hogsmeade to get dresses, shoes, jewellery etc. Me, Ginny and Luna how ever got our dresses and shoes the week the dance was announced. So here I am in my room with Ginny and Luna, just talking and relaxing. They're going to get ready in my room, and we're all going to meet our dates near the entrance of the great hall.

"I think we should start getting ready."

"Ginny it's only 3 o'clock, the dance starts at 8," I turn and see Ginny, who is literally jumping up and down.

"Oh, sorry. I'm just so excited!" I laugh and turn to face Luna who is lost somewhere in her thoughts. Time ticks on and slowly the hands on the clock move to 6, one by one we go for a shower and come out all ready to get our hair and makeup done by each. First it's Luna's turn. Ginny does her makeup while I plait her hair into a French braid leaving a few small strands that I could curl, and then give her a mirror so she can see our little creation. Next its Ginny's go. I curl her hair while Luna does her makeup, (I really can't do makeup, it's just one of those things books can't teach you) and when Ginny sees her reflection she squeals and starts jumping up and down again. Finally it's my go. I sit down and let Ginny paint my face while Luna does me hair. About 15 minutes later they let me get up and go see myself in a mirror. My hair done into a French twist and my face looks like it's barely got makeup on. The girl in the mirror looked naturally radiant and beautiful. That what happens when Ginny Weasley does your makeup. I turn around and give a thumbs up. We all get into our dresses.

Buying our dresses took forever. We looked in 3 shops and found nothing that looked any good. But luckily the fourth one have dresses for all three of us. Ginny bought a light blue halter neck that was knee length while Luna got a long strapless dress that was a beautiful lilac. It was 7:50, and we decided that we would leave at 8, so we sat down for the last few minutes talking and admiring our work. At 8 we got up and made our way to the great hall. Harry and Neville we're already there, waiting their dates. They offered to wait till Draco came but I said it was fine. A couple of minutes went and I saw the last people I wanted to see, Ron and lavender. What was Draco's advice again? Oh yeah, have fun!

"Hi Ron, oh and have you never told your girlfriend that she looks just like a pig in that dress." Lavender looks at me and snorts, "Is that the best you got?"

"Leave it Lav, she's just jealous because she hasn't got anyone to go to the dance with," he laughs, but I'm not going to give him that satisfaction.

"Actually I do have someone to go with."

"Who?"

"Me," I turn around to see a very dashing Draco Malfoy. He's in a white shirt, black vest, purple tie, black trousers and shiny black shoes. He's hair in same ruffled state. I walk up to him, give him a smile and walk towards the great hall. Just before entering I look back to see a very shocked Ron.

"Thanks so much, I don't think I could have lasted another minute talking to them."

"That's ok, but I really need to teach you how to insult someone." I turn and catch another one of his precious smiles. We go in to find the great hall absolutely wonderful. The hall was lit up by floating lanterns, there were some tables around the edge but most of it was just open space. There were lengths of thin material pinned up across the ceiling. We start to make our way towards Harry, Ginny Seamus and Paravti. But we end up meeting other people, Blaise Zabini and Pansy Parkinson. We talk for a bit, and I figure that they aren't that bad. They have changed too, so all four of us head over to everyone else. The rest of the night we danced, talked and just had fun really. Amongst everything I couldn't help notice how Harry looks at Ginny, like she's absolutely perfect. I couldn't help but want someone to look at me in that way, and surprisingly I don't want it to be Ron. I realised, maybe I don't want Ron in that way anymore. At 12 the teachers started sending everyone to bed. Me and Draco walk over to our dorm. We climb the stairs and just stand there talking for a bit.

The lights weren't on by the moonlight through the window reflects off his hair and eyes. He looks beautiful. Lost in my thoughts I didn't notice him move closer to me, it's only when he wraps his arm around my waist and lowers his lips onto mine that I realise, I've fallen for Draco Malfoy. He leans away and chuckles, I guess because I sort of blushed and looked a little flustered. I look up and smile, he smiles back. I don't know how long we just stood there looking at each other.

"Night Hermione," he takes his arm from around my waist, kisses me on my forehead and heads of towards his room. Just before he opened his door, he turns back to me...

"Do you want to go to hogsmeade tomorrow with me?" I smile and whisper a yes. He goes into his room leaving me wondering how I just manage to bag a date with Draco Malfoy.
