Chapter Twenty Two: Hogsmeade Yule


It took Ginny and Hermione roughly two hours to get ready, by the time they got downstairs Bill, Fleur, Fred, Alicia, George, Angelina, Neville, Draco, Harry and Luna where waiting for them impatiently.

“ Sorry! Ginny forgot where she placed her earrings.” Hermione said, surprised at how many people where there.

“ I did not! I just knocked them off the table by mistake!” Ginny glared at Hermione,

“ drop it the both of you sillies.” Harry laughed rolling his eyes as Hermione opened her mouth to retort. The whole group of them then proceeded to Hogsmeade. Groups of chatter started breaking out, the groups went something along these lines. Bill, the twins, Harry and there dates, then Luna and Neville, leaving Hermione to chat with Draco.

“ Neville deserves a girl like Luna.” Hermione said suddenly, Draco did his best not to choke on his Butterbeer.

“ I guess,” was all Draco responded, for lack of anything else to say. There was silence between them.

“ This is one of the worst Hogsmeade trips ever!” Hermione stated about six or so minutes later.

“ And why is that?” Draco asked suspicious.

“ Because I am stuck talking with you, who can't even carry on a proper conversation.” Hermione grinned. Draco laughed with her. Hermione began saying something else but was cut off by Dumbledore's booming voice.

“ If everyone could please head back to Hogwarts for the finishing of the celebration and for the start of the dancing.”

Almost imminently people started heading there.

“ You where saying?” Draco asked once they got to the great hall.

“ Do you want to dance?” Hermione asked smirking. Draco rolled his eyes and muttered something about boys supposed to be asking girls. Several hours later Hermione and Ginny where standing by the drink table laughing.

“ Vill you dance vith me Hermy-nee?” Viktor Krum asked.

“ Su-” Hermione started but Ron showed ip and interrupted.

“ Leave her Hermione alone Krum.” He snapped angrily.

“ I vas just asking her to dance.” Viktor said glaring at Ron.

“ I said leave her alone!” Ron nearly yelled pulling out his wand.

“ What the heck Ronald!” Hermione screamed trying to make him put his wand away. Ron ignored and fired a spell at Krum who also had his wand out, they started dueling right there in the middle of the ball. Suddenly a shield charm went up between the two of them.

“ What in the name of Merlin is going on here?” Draco asked, Hermione was surprised to see him, he had left over three hours ago.

“ Krum won't leave Hermione alone,” Ron said angrily trying to get through the magic shield.

“ I only asked Hermy-nee to dance,” Viktor said also angry but he did not try to break the shield.

“ Weasley stop over reacting. Hermione can take care of herself, and what is wrong with Krum dancing with her?” Draco looked bored and annoyed, Ron started sputtering something which Hermione cut across.

“ Yes I would like to dance with you Viktor.” She said glaring at Ron as she left for the dance floor with Viktor Krum. It took half an hour for the ball to get back to normal and by then Hermione and Ginny where sitting at a table there high heels removed and showing no signs of wanting to put them back on.

“ Want to go get something to drink Mione, or do you think that Ron is going to start another duel?” Ginny asked, she was waiting for Harry and was starting to get annoyed with him.

“ Sure, I'll go with you,” Hermione said taking her feet off the table (yes I know Hermione Perfect Granger had her feet on a table!)

“ So, apparently Sabrina Mackenzie and Viktor Krum know each other.” Ginny commented nodding her head in the direction of the two talking to each other.

“ Yep.” Hermione laughed picking up two Firewhiskey's handing one to Ginny.

“ A Firewhiskey? Ron is going to kill you two.” Harry sighed as he arrived over with the two of them.

“ I don't care, what were you doing anyways?” Hermione asked.

“ Yelling at Ron and hexing him nearly in to next week.” Harry answered picking up a Firewhiskey, Ginny laughed and commented on Ron going to kill Harry also.

“ Hey Miss Weasley, what is it I hear about you fan girling me?” Oliver Wood asked as he arrived over where Harry, Hermione and Ginny where. Oliver Wood's old quidditch team was following him, mostly because they where bored.

“ I am going to kill the twins! I am not fan girling you, I was just making a joke.” Ginny said going bright red, Oliver and the twin's laughed hysterically.

“ So how is my favorite seeker doing?” Oliver then asked Harry changing the subject.

“ I'm doing great, you probably have heard that your favorite seeker got himself engaged to his favorite seeker.” Harry answered laughing also.

“ Hey, Mione care for a dance?” Draco said walking over, not noticing Oliver who literally almost dropped his Butterbeer.

“ Sure as long as Ron doesn't try and kill you.” Hermione stated trying not to laugh.

“ Um, please tell me I am seeing things. Draco Malfoy just asked a muggle born Gryffindor to dance!” Oliver Wood was clearly shocked. Then Ginny and Harry started explaining all that happened so far in this rather eventful year. Meanwhile Draco and Hermione were have a wonderful dance.

“ I'll see you tomorrow then.” Hermione smiled as the song ended.

“ Yeah, I guess.” Draco said also smiling.” Hey Hermione wait!” He suddenly said running to catch up with her. Hermione stopped looking a little confused at him. Draco kissed her on the lips then left leaving Hermione standing there stunned...
