Okay, so, I couldn't wait until tomorrow to post this. Well, the more the better, right? :D
Draco's POV.
I looked at myself in the mirror, dressed in emerald green velvet dress robes.(A/N: I realize this isn't what he wore in the book, but I like this far more than in the book. Also, I'm picturing it as Draco's dress robes in AVPM. If I can find one, I'll post a picture in my profile. Okay, back to the story.) I walked out of the boy's dormitory, and walked down the stairs to the Slytherin common room. I looked around for Pansy, finally seeing her in an elegant green and black ball gown. "You ready to go?" I asked her, and she smiled. "Yeah. Let's go." she said as we linked arms. This still just… Didn't feel right. I knew I didn't honestly like Pansy that way, but I needed a date, and I knew she would probably be the only one to say yes. Plus, she was the only decent looking girl at Hogwarts. We walked through the corridors, which were decorated with lanterns, until we got to the completely transformed Great Hall. Rather than the normal wooden tables and benches filling the room, there was now a large ballroom floor, the wooden tables pushed against the walls and covered in snacks and drinks, mostly consisting of butter beer. Up where the teachers would usually sit, The Weird Sisters were up preforming. There were a lot of people already there, dancing to the music protruding from the makeshift stage. I looked up and saw that the ceiling was filled with hundreds upon thousands of glistening stars. I looked back at Pansy. "Would you like to dance?" I asked her, and she nodded, a smile still on her face, which I didn't think would leaver her face for the rest of the night. As we danced, more and more people filled the Great Hall. When I could tell that Pansy was starting to get tired, I asked her if she wanted to sit down. When she nodded, I led her over to a table and let her sit down. "I'll go get you a drink. What do you want?" I asked, politely. "Punch is fine." she said. I nodded and left to go get her punch. Just then, everyone looked at the entrance to the Great Hall. There, was Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger. When I saw Hermione, my heart started beating faster, getting caught in my throat, butterflies filling my stomach, and my head going wild. I had never seen her this way. Her usual bushy curls had somehow been replaced by beautiful ringlets that fell gracefully down her back, a pink and purple dress flowing down around her feet and the floor around her. I gulped and took a shaky breath. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. "Wait, no! What are you thinking, Draco? She's just a filthy little Mudblood! Nothing more, nothing less! She's not beautiful, she's hideous! It's just a little make up! Draco, wake up! This can't be happening!" I thought all at once. I could hardly breathe. I stormed through the doors, seeing as how they had walked away from them a few moments ago. I went to the bathroom and took off my Slytherin tie, throwing it on the ground, holding onto the sink for support, my hair a ruffled mess. I looked at myself in the mirror, looking nothing like myself. I was falling apart at the seems. What was happening to me? I splashed some water on my face, but that didn't seem to help. I slumped over the sink, still supporting myself with it. I couldn't breathe, and my heart was pounding. All I could think about was her. Not even Pansy crossed my mind. The only think that came to my mind was Hermione. How could a dress make her nothing less than beautiful to me? This could mean danger. How could I have been so mean to her before? How could I dare call her a Mudblood? She's so much more than that… I knew I started to feel different towards her when she punched me in our third year, but… This was just so much stranger than that. I couldn't believe it. I now knew what was happening. I was falling in love with Hermione Granger.
Please review and tell me what you think! I realize my chapters aren't that long, but that's because I'm not too good of a writer yet. But, hopefully it'll get better. (:
