Prequel to Telling them the truth - Reunions
---
She looked down at her plate. She wasn't hungry at all. She didn't want to eat, but she had to. She had to be here for Melody. Melody needed her. Or she needed someone. Someone that could take care of...
Hermione's face was suddenly redder than the gryffindor red. That's quite an achievement. All three the girls were laughing without a stop.
Suddenly a note appears in front of Hermione and I. We look at each other and say the same thing at the same time. "McGonagall". As we open the note there's more words than last time.
Draco, Hermione
I would like to see the two of you after lunch in your common room. You're excused from potions. The professors already know you won't attend any classes in the afternoon.
Greetings professor McGonagall.
"What did we do?" I ask her in panic.
"Nothing that I remember. Maybe it's something about Head duties?" She suggest.
"I hope so" As we walk towards our common room we see some posters.
"What's this about? We don't even know about a Halloween ball." She asked unsure. "Probably a joke or something" I reassure her.
We enter our common room to see professor McGonagall sitting in front of the fire. Hermione looks at me worried and I sign at her we didn't do anything wrong. Melody was doing great so it wasn't about her, I hope. When we were in classes the house elves of Hogwarts took care of her. When we weren't in class, one of us did.
"Professor, is something wrong?" Hermione asks carefully. I still had one of the posters in my hand.
"No, nothing is wrong, but I wanted to do a Halloween ball." She points towards the poster. "Only for fifth years and up. I wanted to ask if you two wanted to decorate the Great Hall. Don't worry about your outfits. All years invited have free from the afternoon classes. I asked your friends to find something you'd like to wear. I know it is last minute, but would you guys decorate please?"

"No problem professor, we thought we were in trouble or something." I answer laughing. Hermione lets out a breath. I didn't know she was holding her breath. Why is she always worried she's in trouble?
"Are we going down to decorate or what?" Hermione asks with a smirk. And damn, that's a better one than I ever did.
"Are you in a hurry?" I ask her suspiciously. "No, but Tory and Pans will if I only get half an hour to get ready. And I think you don't want that to happen. Do you?" I shook my head.
As we walked down the stairs towards the Great Hall, the stairs started moving. Great. After 15 minutes of trying to find a way down while the stairs are moving, we finally got to the Great Hall.
"We should hang some slings from both sides. And from the ceiling too" She says enthusiastically. We start decorating and soon the whole hall is beautiful
Hermione pov
He starts setting up a confetti cannon. He is pulling some things that are attached.
"Draco don't do - " The cannon just exploded. We're both under confetti.
".. Sorry?" He says or asks I don't know for sure. I burst out laughing at his face. It was a pout or apologetic face mixed. Soon after he joins in laughing. He points his wand towards the music boxes and mumbles a spell. Music starts playing. It was slow music not the typical party music.
"You still have some confetti there" He points at my cheek. I tried to wipe it away, but I guess I missed it since he started laughing. "Can I?" I nod my head. He cups my right cheek and wipes the confetti away with his thumb.
"Do you want to dance?" He asks out of nowhere. "Now?" "Yeah otherwise I wouldn't ask you now." I laughed at his response and put my left hand in his right. We started dancing on the music. Random as what I know.
After dancing for what I guess was half an hour. The music stops. Draco is looking me straight in my eyes.
"Mia, I can't stop this anymore..." I look surprised I guess but I know exactly what he means. "Me neither, Dray" He leans in and kisses me. I don't hesitate and kiss back. His arms tighten around my waist as my arms fly around his neck. He deepens the kiss. His tongue is licking my lip asking for entrance which I happily give him.
We both lean back putting our foreheads together. "If I knew you felt the same, damn, I wouldn't have hid it that long." He breaths out. I give him a small smile. "So, will you go to the ball with me?"
I started laughing, nodding my head."Yeah, I would like that.. But I have to go or Pans and Tory will kill me"
"Don't want that to happen.... I'll pick you up in our common room okay?" I nod as I peck him on the lips and leave towards our common room with a skip in my walk.
