A/N I can't believe I'm at chapter 11 already but here it is guys, as always please leave your thoughts they are much appreciated.
Chapter 11: Standing in the spotlight (Part One)
Draco stretched frivolously across his dark green satin sheets, his muscular arms stretching above his head, his white blonde hair sweeping in front of his arms, a carefree smile gracing his pale pink lips.
Stifling a yawn he began to move out of bed, the smile still remaining in his features, especially his eyes.
Draco made his way to his on suite bathroom, removing his boxers and throwing them carelessly over his shoulder.
He switched on the shower and continued to climb into hot steaming water, letting it flow over his still form, the water washing away all of his aches and pains that he had endured during Quidditch practice.
How he loved Quidditch, particularly the flying. He loved feeling of the wind flowing through his fine tresses as he zoomed on his broom in search of the infinite Snitch.
It made him feel alive, exhilarated and most of all happy.
But now Draco had something else that made him happy, the thought of it, or rather her made him smile like a Cheshire cat.
He couldn’t help it, even with the years of practicing the trademark Malfoy indecipherable expression, he would fail, and his mouth would always end up forming a smile.
He was being given a chance, not just a second chance but a chance at happiness; this was something Draco took seriously. And although he was against Blaise, his best friend, both of the men had decided that they would each play to win Hermione Granger’s heart.
For Draco this was a serious game, he was after all a Malfoy and Malfoy’s didn’t lose.
Long after the discussion with Hermione and her Red headed friend, Blaise and Draco had retired to his room, to talk about how each of them felt.
As girly as Draco thought it was at the time, he had to admit he felt much better voicing his fears to Blaise who was ironically the competition. Both had agreed that fighting for Granger’s heart wouldn’t destroy their friendship and for this Draco was entirely grateful.
Draco was comforted knowing that Blaise would at least be worthy component and he could therefore settle in the knowledge that if Hermione chose Draco to be her soulmate he had won it fair and square. That would be a first.
Leaning back into the jet of water Draco looked forward to getting to know the real Hermione Granger, the girl he caught singing. He had a feeling she’d take him to a side soon and talk to him about him encountering her with her guard down, but at least it was a start.
Draco couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed at having not seen the Head girl after the proposition that;Hermione would date both himself and Blaise.
She had disappeared soon after, the Weaselette in tow, he hadn’t even heard her come in last night, but if he knew anything about Granger she would be laying low for a while.
******
The night before.
Hermione had disappeared to her room as Ginny finished up talking with the two Slytherins as quick as she was gone, she had returned.
As soon as the impromptu meeting with Blaise and Malfoy had finished Hermione had grabbed Ginny’s hand and had preceded to pull her friend through the portrait and out of the head dorm common room.
“Hey! Don’t manhandle me, Mione.” Ginny shouted, breaking her had free from Hermione’s.
“Look Gin, I need to tell you something okay? Your my best friend, I know that you’ll understand and most of all I know I can trust you, but I need a blood oath that you won’t breathe a word of this to anyone, do you understand.” Ginny was dumbfounded by Hermione’s upsurge her blue eyes protruding in awe, “Sure, Mione. Whatever you need.”
The girls completed the blood oath and Hermione proceeded to pull Ginny further away from the portrait.
“We can’t talk here, too many eyes and ears. There is something I need to show you.”
Hermione silently led the way toward the Room of Requirement the doors showing themselves granting them access, Ginny laughed.
“Mione, I already know about the ROR remember the DOA, so if this is what your showing…” Hermione swung Ginny round to face her, casting a quick but thorough silencing spell.
“Listen, Gin. This is important and please don’t freak when you find out, but you’re the only person I can trust not to go screaming to the Daily Prophet or to tell anyone else. You can’t even tell Harry or Ron, Promise?”
“Pinky promise” Ginny said her face deadly serious.
“Okay, well follow me.”
The two girls walked into the ROR to find a stage with vibrant red curtains drawn around it, situated in front of the stage was a lone arm chair which Hermione ushered Ginny to sit in.
“What’s going on Mione?” Ginny asked in concern.
“You’ll see, just sit back, relax and watch. You’ll love it Ginny, I promise.” Hermione smiled weakly and disappeared behind the curtains.
**
Behind the curtains Hermione slipped on her golden Barrette and instantly transformed into a leggy blonde haired girl.
Half of her tousled blonde curls were swept up and twisted intricately into a glamorous coiffure, her vivacious green eyes contrasting the lightness of her hair.
Hermione stood in a rather short silver babydoll dress that maximised the length of Larissa’s long tanned legs, Hermione’s choice in footwear help to extenuate the tone and shape of Larissa’s calves.
The sparkly silver high heels were Hermione’s absolute favourite they were designer, granted muggle designer but any muggle girl would understand Christian Louboutin heels.
With a wave of her hand the lights in the ROR dimmed leaving the main source of light coming from the two spotlights that shone down onto the stage.
Hermione made her way to the silver stool that sat in the centre of the stage and drew in the much needed oxygen she was starving her lungs of.
She was really going to do this, she was going to tell someone about her secret.
Hermione was nervous, no she was scared, but it was Ginny she would be okay, it was just Ginny, she kept reciting in her head.
With another wave of her hand an acoustic melody began to fill the room.
**
Ginny heard her before she saw her, her voice was unmistakable, the melody of the song brought goosebumps to her pale freckled skin.
Larissa Grey was at Hogwarts, in the ROR, playing her favourite song!
Ginny thought she had died and gone to heaven. But where was Hermione?
Ginny began to look frantically around the empty room, but Hermione was nowhere to be found, just as Ginny was considering leaving her seat the thick curtains began to part, leaving her with the vision that was Larissa Grey.
