Chapter 1

All characters belong to JK Rowling!

Ginny and Hermione sat in the library. "Are you excited for the Yule Ball?" Ginny asked Hermione. "Yes," Hermione grinned "my mum bought me a beautiful periwinkle dress!" "Ooh!" Ginny said "My dress is green and pink." She said. Hermione nodded "Who do you hope will ask you?" Ginny whispered. "Oh I don't know," Hermione sighed "Viktor Krum is quite attractive but I don't think he will ask someone like me." Ginny frowned "Why not?" "It's just all the other girls seem to fancy him and he's much older." Hermione looked down.
"What about you?" Hermione asked Ginny, Ginny grinned "Well I wish Harry would ask me," she smiled "I have a little crush on him." She whispered, Hermione grinned.
It was almost time for dinner, Hermione left the library to go to the great hall. Outside the library stood Draco Malfoy. Hermione didn't pay any attention to him what so ever. Draco smirked at her, she looked up for only a moment. He has always been a bully to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. But mostly to her, calling her mudblood. Last school year she punched him and he ran away like the coward he is.
Hermione continued to the great hall when she heard footsteps behind her, she looked to see who it was; it was Malfoy. She rolled her eyes and continued walking. "Granger!" Malfoy yelled, she stopped and turned around "What do you want Malfoy?" She sighed. "Um..I uh...well." He hesitated "Well..?" She said, he was silent. She sighed and turned back around. "Wait!" He grabbed her wrist, they both felt a shock feeling. He let go of her after that. They stared at each other for a moment. "I need to ask you something." He looked down. "What is it?" Hermione asked. "Uh...never mind." He said quickly and ran to the great hall. Hermione didn't exactly knew what just happened, she just shook her head and went to the great hall.

At the great hall.

"So who are you going to ask to the Yule Ball?" Harry asked Ron "Dunno,"Ron sighed "who are you going to ask?" "Cho if I ever get the chance." Harry said. Hermione walked in and sat beside Harry. She was thinking about what happened between her and Malfoy earlier. "You alright Hermione?" Ron asked "What?" She said quickly. Harry and Ron looked at each other, Hermione was always paying attention to everything. "I'm sorry," she said "I was thinking." "About?" Ron said "None of your business!" She snapped.
Hermione turned her head and saw Draco staring at her. She turned back around so her friends wouldn't question her. They ate dinner in silence. "I'm not feeling well," Hermione finally said "I'm going to bed." She left the hall to the Gryffindor tower.
"What was that about?" Ron asked Harry, "I don't know," Harry said "maybe she feels nervous about the quiz we had in potions today." "Maybe.." said Ron. "Who was she looking at behind us?" Harry asked "Someone at the Slytherin table." Ron said "I couldn't see who though." The boys left the hall and went to their dorm. Hermione was reading in the common room. "Hermione," Ron said "you alright?" Hermonie nodded "I'm fine and I'm sorry I snapped at you earlier." She apologized "I'm sorry for asking," he said "it really wasn't my business." Hermione slightly smiled "Goodnight Ronald." "Night."
They both went to their dorms. She didn't know why but she couldn't get Malfoy out her thoughts. Why did he want to talk to me? What did he want to ask me? Surely he did not want to ask me to the ball! Right? After tossing and turning she finally dosed off to sleep.
