Hermione looked at herself in the mirror , for once feeling beautiful. Her hair finally worked with her and her makeup didn't look like a finger painting. The dress was amazing. She loved it at first sight. She sighed in happiness.
She walk down the steps to the Great Hall and found Viktor waiting for her at the end. He grabbed her hand and kissed it.
"You look beautiful, Her-mio-knee." Viktor says. She grins and blushes.
"Thank you."
They walk into the Great Hall and are greated with stares and whispers. Even the great Draco Malfoy has nothing to say.

"Oh, Ronald, you ruin everything!" She screams. Ron sneers at her and stalks away. Harry looks at her, then Ron, then walks away. Hermione sits on the steps and sobs, her fairy tale night over.
"Granger?"
Hermiones head shoots up, showing her bloodshot eyes.
"What do you want, Malfoy?" She spat, not in the mood for dealing with the wretched ferret. Draco gulps.
"Are-are you okay?" He asks. Hermione sneers at him and looks at her hands.
"No, I'm fine. I just like to cry in my free time." She says sarcastically. He hides a smirk. Suddenly, he gets an idea.
"Come here." He says. She glares at him.
"Malfo-" He grabs her hand and drags her away. He stops at the room of requirements.
"Trust me, Granger." She scoffs.
"Trust you?" He ignores her comment and opens the door. She gasps at the beauty of the room. Its a beach. With a gazebo on the sand, with a little table full of desserts.
"Malfoy? What did you ask for?" She asks, allowing Draco to take her shoes. She feels the warm sand between her toes.
"Just a place that a Hermione Granger would love. To be honest, I was expecting a library or something." Draco muses, also taking off his shoes and looking around. It truly was beautiful. Like the girl in front of him. Not that he would ever admit it.
She squeals when she feels someone grab her by the waist and lift her up.
"Malfoy!" She says playfully. Suddenly, her dress turns into a bikini. Draco drops her in the water. She glares at him. He stares at her. His suit turns into a pair of swim shorts. Dang, he really works on that body. Hermione thinks as he walks into the water.
"Its bloody cold, dont you think?" He asks, shivering. Hermione grins and jumps on his back, taking him by surprise and makes him fall backwards into the water.
"Granger!" He shouts as he gets up, his hair dripping with water. Hermione giggles.
"Oh, I'll get you for this." He says. The two spend hours playing with each other in the water.
"Okay, Malfoy, you, win." Hermione pants as she lays on the water.
"Of course I win, I'm Draco Malfoy." He boasts. Hermione rolls her eyes and giggles.
They walk to the gazebo and eat some of the desserts.
"Why are you doing this, Malfoy?" Hermione asks.
"Because Weasley is a bastard and no one deserves to cry because of him." He explains, not making eye contact. Hemione blushes.
"Didn't know you cared?" She said. Draco blushes red and looks at the table.
"Don't push it." He growls. Hermione walks up to Draco and sits next to him.
"Thank you, for all of this." Hermione says.
"Anytime, Granger." He says and she grins. She faces him and he looks at her eyes. She stares into his steel grey eyes. She gets caught up into them. He starts to slowly lean in and she follows, her eyes fluttering closed. He captures her lips in his. She kisses him back and he swipes his tounge on her bottom lip. She opens her mouth to his and they battle for dominance.
Hermione pulls back, out of breath.
"What was that?" She asks. Draco shakes his head.
"I dont know, but I love it." She grins, and their lips find each other again.
