Hermione opened her eyes as a beam of sunlight flooded through the open window. She narrowed her eyes as she felt strong arms around her waist. She was confused for a moment but then she remembered everything from the night before and she smiled. She then turned her head to look at Draco. He was truely breathtaking. Hermione lay like that watching him sleep for a few minutes until he said, "Why are you watching me sleep?" His eyes were still shut.
Hermione giggled stretched to kiss his lips. He kissed her back.
"Morning Mr. Malfoy" She said.
"Morning Miss Granger." He smirked. Hermione looked to her left at the wall and jumped up.
"What are you doing?" He asked, pushing himself into a sitting position.
"Look at the time! It's 1pm! It's the day of The Winter Dance!" She shrieked. Draco just laughed as she grabbed her clothes that were lying on the floor and left.
Hermione spent the day with Ginny, preparing for the night ahead of them. They had their dressed layed out on Hermione's bed, ready to be put on. The Dance was now an hour away. They both got changed and Ginny curled Hermione's hair and makeup. When she was done, Hermione stood in front of the mirror. A huge smile appeared on her face.
"Oh Ginny! Thank you!" She said, hugging her best friend. Ginny then got herself ready. Before they knew it, there was a knock on the door.
"Hermione, you ready? We have to go." Draco called to her through the closed door.
"I'll be in the common room in a minute!" She shouted back, taking another look at herself. When they were both ready, the descended the stairs. Draco raised his head as he heard them approach and he was speechless. Hermione looked amazing! She was wearing a crimson red dress, that started about her chest and ended above her knees. The top half of the dress was corset and the bottom half flowed out a little bit. She had red high heels on that made her legs look longer. Her hair was hanging in loose curls down her back and she was wearing red lipstick. He then moved his gaze to Ginny. She looked good too. She had a light blue dress that stopped at her ankles. Her hair was pulled back, leaving only two strands hanging around her face. They really were a sight to see. Draco walked towards Hermione and took both of her hands in his.
"You look amazing." He whispered, leaning his forehead against hers.
She smiled. "As do you, Mr. Malfoy." She kissed him lightly on the lips.
The three of them finally left and they met Dean at the door of the Great Hall. Ginny kissed him and they all headed inside. The room was beautiful. It looked nothing like the Great Hall. The walls had an icy looking effect to them, yet it wasn't cold in the room at all. Icicles were hanging from the roof and a crystal chandelier hung in the center. There were round tables placed around the walls, white table cloths and a single, long red candle on each. To the left, there was a long table with food covering it. At the front of the room where the teachers usually sit, there was a huge fountain made from ice. It was shaped as an angel with snowflakes around it. Beside the fountain, there was a stage set up with the band The Weird Sister's performing. Space was left in the middle of the room for a huge dancefloor. Hermione looked up to see that the ceiling was charmed to give the effect that it was snowing. The room really did look marvelous.
Draco let go of Hermione's hand as he went to get them drinks. Hermione was looking around for her friends when she felt a tug at her hair. She turned around so fast that she nearly fell over. Her eyes widened.
"What the hell Pansy?" Hermione demanded, rubbing the spot on her hair that Pansy had just pulled. The girl just smirked viciously and pranced away. What he hell was all that about? Hermione thought. She caught sight of Harry, Cho, Ginny, Dean, Luna and Ron beside the food and she made her way over to them. They talked for a few minutes then decided to sit down at a table. A minute later, Draco returned. She kissed him and began enjoying the night.
Draco asked her to dance an hour later and she accepted. They ran to the dancefloor, hand in hand. A fast song was playing so they jumped around like fools, not caring who was watching. The strangest thing happened then. Lucian Bole, the former Beater on the Slytherin Quidditch team, tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw him. Not once since they both started school had he talked to her. Yes, He was good looking and he was nice from what she had heard about him. Draco was also standing there, staring at his friend, confused.
"What are you doing Bole?" He asked, eyesbrows raised.
"I was told you are Hermione Granger. I love you." He smiled at her but his eyes were far away. Both Hermione and Draco's mouths dropped open.
"Um... We've never met before." Hermione informed him.
"I know." He smiled a dozy smile again. "Will you dance with me?" Before Hermione could answer, another boy she knew as Terence Higgs ran upto them and pushed Lucian.
"No, I want to dance with Hermione!" He demanded. His eyes were also blank.
Hermione moved closer to Draco, whispering in his ear, "Draco, what the hell is happening?"
"I was about to ask you the same question." He whispered back. "Here, guys. Leave Hermione alone. She's already taken." When he said this, Terence swung his fist towards Draco's face and Hermione shrieked. But of course, Draco caught the boys hand before it reach his face. No wonder he used to be seeker for the Slytherins. Ginny then ran upto them.
"Oh my God, Ginny!" Hermione said, "I have no idea what's happening! They just came upto me ou-" Hermione was cut off by Ginny hugging her.
"But how? Why are they all attracted to you?" Draco rubbed his temples in frustration. "And where did they get the potion from?" Hermione just shrugged, turning back to the three people who were infatuated with her. She groaned when she realised more people were looking at her with their distant eyes. She stood there for a moment looking around the room. Then she spotted Harry. She ran towards him.
"Harry! Help me! I don't know how but loads of people drank Amortentia and now-" Harry raised a finger and placed it on her mouth to make her shut up. He smiled. Oh no, not Harry too. He grabbed her hand and dragged her towards a table.
"Hermione, have I already told you that you the most beautiful woman I have ever set eyes on?" He inched his chair closer to hers and gripped her hand tighter. Hermione looked around, hoping someone would help her. Her gaze stopped on Draco but he was too bust trying to fight off 5 boys and 3 girls. Oh dear God, Hermione thought.
"Um.. No Harry." Hermione said, pulling her hand away from Harry's. When she was sucessful, she started walking back over to Draco. Someone grabbed her arm and spun her around. Next thing she knew, Harry's lips were pressed up against hers.
