Hermione awoke the next morning in a bad mood. Narcissa was driving her up the wall. Tonight was this big ball thingy, and Hermione was semi-excited she'd get to see other people. But at the same time, she was pissed. Narcissa was sending her on all these little errands. All she wanted to do was snoop around Tom's room some more. She more she saw, the more normal he seemed. He was interesting, and Hermione wanted to know more. But no, here she was, doing stupid things for some stupid ball.

She looked down on her list. The first task was to check the gardens and make sure the fountains and all the lights were set up and working. Check. Next on the list, go to the kitchens and check on the food preparation... check. The last thing she had to do before she could go back to her room was check up on the preparations in the ballroom. Hermione didn't really want to do this one, especially since Narcissa is already there helping the workers. Hermione groaned, Plus, I saw Bellatrix down there earlier... Hermione had wanted to avoid that woman at all costs. She was crazy, literally. Narcissa had even said that her sister wasn't all there.

Hermione walked down to the ballroom. On her way, she ran into Draco. "Hermione, can you please help me with something?" He pulled her into a spare room, and started pacing around. She was so confused. Why is he acting so strange? He's sweating bullets! "Malfoy, what's wrong?" Draco shook his head before answering. "Hermione, I.." "Draco, just tell me! What's got you all worked up?"

Draco shouted, "You do!"

Hermione stepped back, suprised at his outburst. "What on earth do you mean?"

Draco shook his head. "I don't know how to say this. But I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. I've always been such a git to you, especially about the whole blood thing. But now, you're so important. And if the Lord knew what I did to you.. he'd kill me for sure. I've been walking on eggshells, waiting for you to throw me under the bus. But you haven't. So what is your deal? Do you like killing me with the anticipation? Or what? Cause I don't want this, any of this. So please, TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME!" Draco turned around, refusing to look Hermione in the face.

She was shocked. She knew Draco had always struggled with everything in his life, trying to please his parents, Tom, Pansy, and himself. And now he's beating himself up because he's scared I'd hurt him, or ask Tom to... Hermione took a step foward.

"Draco Malfoy, you look at me right now." He turned around to face, very slowly. He looked as if he had been crying. "Malfoy, I would never get you in trouble purposely. I'm not that kind of person. Sure I think you're an arse, but I would never try and get you hurt. You're practically my brother now.. according to Narcissa anyways. Please don't get yourself worked up about this. Please." Hermione looked at Malfoy, trying to read some sort of emotion in those grey eyes of his.

Malfoy shook his head. "I'm sorry for everything." Hermione took his hands, and held them in hers. "It's fine. I forgive you. This doesn't mean I like you, but it does mean I will look out for you, and hopefully you'd do the same fore me." Draco nodded, "I will. Thank you."

Draco left, saying he needed to find Pansy or something..

Hermione finally made her way to the ballroom, and looked around in awe. It was beautiful. Green banners were everywhere, silver confetti on the floor and tables. It was, amazing. The band was setting up. Hermione smiled, "Well, Narcissa, I am very impressed." Narcissa ran over, "Oh I'm glad you like it! I always love a chance for a good party." The two of them sat there talking about decorations and such.

Suddenly there was a large bang. They looked over and saw Bellatrix fuming. She had dropped whatever it was she was caring. But that wasn't why the estranged woman looked as mad as she did. No, it was much more than that. She was staring at Hermione with such hatred, she could practically feel the daggers her eyes were sending her way. Bellatrix turned and stormed off.

Hermione turned to Narcissa, "Did I do something wrong?" The older woman shook her head. "No, she just has some issues that she needs to work out, without getting the rest of the family involved." The two of them returned to hanging decorations.

Soon, it was time to get ready for the ball. Hermione was kind of excited. She hated to admit it, but she missed Tom. Sure, he looked like a monster, but deep down, Hermione felt there was more human in him. She wanted to know what it was like, what it felt like. Curiosity killed the cat Hermione, she thought to herself. Shaking her head, she climbed into the hot bath waiting for her.

After spending a substantial amount of time in the bath, Hermione reluctantly got out. She needed to get dressed. Narcissa came to help her get into it. She did her hair up into loose bun, letting some of her curls fall graciously onto her shoulders. Hermione stood in front of the mirror, she just couldn't believe the woman staring back was her.

Narcissa patted her on the back, "You look lovely, Hermione, you really do." She smiled, "Thank you." Narcissa left to get ready, leaving Hermione alone in the room, waiting for Tom to get back.

After pacing for what seemed like hours, there was a knock on the door. Hermione walked over and placed her hand on the knob. Let's just get this over with.. She opened the door.

Hermione Jean Granger almost fainted when she saw who was standing before her. How is this even possible...
