The Concert

Chapter 13
Draco and Hermione walked down the path in comfortable silence, heading for the edge of the Forbidden Forest. They waited until they were out of sight of anyone in the castle before holding hands and Hermione couldn't hide her slight smile.
"So, what is the deal with Weasley? I thought you two were friends." Draco asked and she sighed.
"We were more than friends for a little while last year, but….he started to change. At first it was just snide little comments, trying to tease but really just being rude. Then the arguments started. God, did we argue! Harry had to put a binding curse on us once! It just got worse from there. I broke it off, but obviously there is still some tension."
"Some, yes." He replied, putting his arm around her. "Well, I am sorry that you lost your friend, but now I have you, so…I guess I am not so sorry." She beamed at him. They continued to walk in silence, not letting each other go until they absolutely had to.

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts." Dumbledore said. "Please remember that the Forbidden Forrest is just that, forbidden. Mr. Filch has added several things to the banned list, most of which are created and sold by the infamous Weasley twins, so be careful. Please stop by his office to see what those items are. Last, but not least, I would like to announce the Head Boy and Girl this year. Please join me in congratulating Draco Malfoy as Head Boy" Everyone clapped but Slytherin could be heard the loudest. Draco stood and nodded. "And Hermione Granger as Head Girl." Again everyone clapped, except for one. Only Hermione noticed the sullen silence coming from Ron. She smiled smugly at him, then sat down.
As both Draco and Hermione sat, Dumbledore quieted everyone down. "I believe that is the last of it, so everyone go ahead and enjoy the feast." The food appeared on all the tables instantly and the talking in the Great Hall died down as everyone started stuffing themselves silly.
Awhile later, with everyone full, Dumbledore dismissed everyone and they all started to file out of the room sleepily. As she was helping to round up some lost first years, Professor McGonagall stopped Hermione at the entrance to the Great Hall, "Ms. Granger please come here." Hermione walked over to the professor and waited as she called Draco over as well.
"Yes, Professor?" Draco asked as he came closer.
"Both you and Ms. Granger are needed in Professor Dumbledore's office immediately. You know the password."
"What could he want now? I thought we took care of everything when we got out of the hospital wing." Hermione stated as they walked to the Professor's office.
"I don't know. I guess we'll see when we get there. Maybe he wants to discuss us being Head Boy and Girl some more or something."
As they approached the statue, Hermione said "Sugar Daddies." They walked up the stairs and knocked on the door.
"Come in please."
Draco opened the door, letting Hermione go in first.
"You wanted to see us, Professor?" Hermione asked as they stood in front of his large desk.
"Yes, I wanted to talk to you about having a concert at the end of the year, starring Mystic and Black Sly, of course." Dumbledore said and the two teens looked at each other in surprise. Hermione smiled and Draco nodded.
"I like the idea, Jay would have to approve first, sir." Draco stated.
"Of course, Mr. Malfoy, I just wanted to know what you two thought of the idea first. "
"I think it's a good idea, Professor." Hermione said. "But it would be fun to keep everyone in suspense, sir. Maybe just say that there is going to a special guest."
"That's a good idea, Ms. Granger, but I have another idea I wanted to get your opinion about too. What would you think about a contest where a person writes a song and sends it to you two and you pick the best three and put them to music and sing them at the concert?"
"I don't know about sir. That's defiantly something you would need to speak to Jay about. Everything regarding Mystic and Black Sly goes to him." Draco said.
"Yeah but if you would let us know." Hermione asked.
"Of course. Well, I'll let you get to your dorm now since we start classes tomorrow."
"Thank you, sir." Both Hermione and Draco said as they left his office.
As they walked through the hall, Hermione asked, "Do you think that Jay will go for it?"
"For that kind of publicity, oh yeah."
"Oh, by the way, I found out that the video shoot is going to be in London in two weeks. Dumbledore has already approved for us to leave for the weekend."
"Ok. Afterwards, would you like to go to dinner with me as Mystic and Black Sly?"
Hermione smiled "Yeah, I'd love to. Plus, it would be great publicity that Jay will want to get."
"Yeah, not to mention it will be fun to get out, together, again."
Draco took her hand and entwined their fingers. Hermione looked at him at side glance.
'I wish I could do this all the time. But what will everyone think?'
As they approached their dorm, Draco said, "Hermione, I need to tell you something important."
"Okay?"
"I have been thinking on how to tell you this, but Lucius has escaped Azkaban."
Hermione stopped and looked at him with side eyes. "What?!?! How?"
"We don't know but the Aurors are looking for him. Anytime we leave the castle grounds together we need to go as our alter appearance. I just need to know if you are ok with that. I don't want to put you in any more danger than you may already have been in."
"Draco, you have to remember that I have been in danger the past 6 years. As long as Voldemort is alive, I will be looking over my shoulder. Plus, I can take care of myself. But I agree we need to be careful when we leave the grounds. I think it's a good idea about going out as Mystic and Black Sly. Jay would love it, anyway." She laughed.
Draco laughed along with her. "Music of the Soul." He said as they stopped at the door to their dorms.
Letting Hermione go in first, he got the perfect view of her ass.
"Oh, Drae, don't wait for me in the morning. I promised Ginny that I would meet her at the Gryffindor tower and go to breakfast with her."
Draco pouted at her and then smiled slowly at her. "I think I'll be ok by myself. Plus, I think Crabbe and Goyle with be meeting me here."
"Oh ok. I hope I'm gone before they get here." Hermione smiled at him.
She started to walk away from him when he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her back to him against his chest. She looked up at him and bit her lower bit. Draco ran his thumb along it gently tugging it out from between her teeth. He leaned down and kissed her gently.
Wrapping her arms around his neck, she deepened the kiss. Giving him access, he probed her mouth, she sighed. Needing to breath, Draco pulled back.
"I could end a night like that every night."
"I could too." Hermione smiled. "Good night, Drae. I hope you have great dreams."
"You too, Mya."
Hermione walked into her room and the door.

The next morning when Hermione was ready to go, she walked down to the common room and gathered up some summer homework that she had had to redo due to losing it when her house burned down.
'Thank you Professor Dumbledore for getting my school stuff again.' She thought to herself.
She heard a loud banging coming from the door and she thought 'Must be Crabbe and Goyle.'
Opening the door she saw she was right, "Come in and wait for him in the common room." She ordered sharply as she walked back.
"Hey Malfoy, your sidekicks are here!" She yelled toward his room.
"Whatever, Granger!" he yelled back.
"Don't touch anything." She warned as she left.
A few minutes later, she walked into the Gryffindor common room. Ginny was talking to Lavender and one of the Patel girls by the fire. Ginny looked up.
"Hey, Hermione. I'm glad you're here. We were about to leave without you."
Hermione laughed "Well, I'm glad I'm so loved. You guys ready to go?"
"Yeah." They all said.
As they walked Lavender starting humming, soon all of them were humming. Smiling, the rest started singing with her, Hermione taking over the lead part. The shimmied down the staircases, singing and dancing as they got closer to the Great Hall, then burst into the room grandly, singing loudly and dancing for all they were worth.
The clock strikes upon the hour
and the sun begins to fade
still enough time to figure out
how to chase my blues away
I've done alright up 'til now
It's the light of day that shows me how
and when the night falls
loneliness calls
Oh I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody
with somebody who loves me
Oh I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody
with somebody who loves me
I've been in love and lost my senses
spinning through the town
soon or later the fever ends
and I wind up feeling down
I need a man who'll take a chance
on a love that burns hot enough to last
so when the night falls
my lonely heart calls
somebody who, somebody who
somebody who loves me
somebody who, somebody who
to hold me in his arms
I need a man who'll take a chance
on a love that burns hot enough to last
so when the night falls
my lonely heart calls
ooh don't you wanna dance
with me baby
don't you wanna dance
with me boy
hey don't you wanna dance with me baby
with somebody who loves me
don't you wanna dance
say you wanna dance
don't you wanna dance
don't you wanna dance
say you wanna dance
don't you wanna dance
don't you wanna dance
say you wanna dance
with somebody who loves me
As they finished, the entire Great Hall started clapping and yelling at them. All four of them turned red. Hermione looked over at Draco and saw him smirking.
Quickly the four girls sat down and started eating. A few minutes later, everyone in the Great Hall heard clicking up towards the teachers' table, calling for their attention. Everyone turned as Dumbledore stood and walked to the stand.
"Good morning, everyone. I hope your first night back was enjoyable. I want to thank the four Gryffindor girls for that beautiful song and dance this morning." The four looked at each other and giggled, turning even more red. "Also I wanted to let you know that the class schedules are with your Head of House. They will be passing them out here shortly. Have a great day."
Everyone continued to eat. Ginny leaned over to Hermione and whispered in her ear. "I'm sorry to hear about your parents. If you ever need to talk, you know that I'm here for you."
"Thank you, Ginny. How did you hear about them?"
"From Mum. She wanted you to come to the borrow for the rest of the summer but Dumbledore said that you were here already."
"Yeah. Tell your mum thank you but I felt like I needed to be here. This is a home away from home, but now it's the only home I have."
"I understand. Just remember that I'm here for you and you are always welcome at our place." Ginny replied, patting her arm. Hermione nodded, but caught sight of Ron glaring at her from down the table.
"I don't know about that, but thank you for the offer. I had better get going. See you after class."
