Hermione's POV

"I can't believe you're making me go to some stupid party when we have so much we need to do"

Slughorn had approached me earlier and requested I go to some Christmas party, I said yes, I had said no to every dinner so I felt inclined to agree, I wasn't going to go but Draco is forcing me

"I can do it without you for a few hours"

"you wouldn't need to if you just let me come with you" I grumbled, picking out a dress from wren's wardrobe

"We need to seem like nothing has happened, Blaise's death is covering our attitudes for now but how much longer till they find out if we don't do things we would usually do huh?"

he's right, merlin I hate it when he's right "fine, is this good?"

I wore a long, rose gold, one shoulder, sparkly ball dress

"gorgeous darling"

"thank you, now leave and get Daphne, even though you're making me go I still need to look good" i kissed him, he left the room rolling his eyes, only a minute later, as I was starting doing my makeup, Daphne came bouncing in
"why isn't Wren coming?" I asked, applying eyeshadow

"wasn't invited, look at this dress!" I turned to see her holding a simple, green party dress

"gorgeous, try it on"

Once we finished our hair and Makeup we left the dorm and made our way through the common room

"Can I steal you for a second?" Draco asked as we were about to walk through the portrait hole

"Can I steal you for a second?" Draco asked as we were about to walk through the portrait hole

"uh- yeah, sure, I'll catch you up Daph" Daphne wiggled her eyebrows suggestively and left the common room

"I'm gonna go try again tonight"

"what- tonight? Without me? You're barking, we're supposed to do this together" merlin knows what he would do if he found out

"it's ok, it'll be easier tonight because most prefects are at the party and so are some of the teachers"

I rolled my eyes in agitation and started walking away "alright, don't get caught, oh and do you think this dress is too flashy?"

he grinned in his way and took a few steps, resting his hands on my hips when he met me "you're stunning in anything love, it's not too flashy, it's perfect"

"you're too cute" I kissed him quickly, waved goodbye, and tried to catch up with Daphne

"drink?"

I was sitting at the party, pretty bored when a Hufflepuff approached me with a tray of drinks

"what drink is it?"

"it's supposed to be butterbeer, but im pretty sure Theo Nott spiked it with firewhiskey" the Hufflepuff answered, passing me a drink. I glanced at the snacks table, Theo was mixing liquid into the punch bowl

"figures" I muttered, smirking. Just as I was going to stand up to go dance with Daphne I saw a certain platinum blond being dragged in by filch "what's he done now" I grumbled trudging toward him and my professor

"I just discovered this boy lurking in an upstairs corridor, he claims to have been invited to your party-" I should intervene, this could jeopardize our mission

"yes! Yes, Professor, he's my date, my plus one, just a little late that's all" I smiled, glaring ever so slightly at the blond in front of me

"well, that's alright then, Mr. Filch if you wouldn't mind leaving Mr. Malfoy go" Slughorn smiled nervously

"Mr. Malfoy, Ms. Zabini, if you would come with me" Snape appeared out of nowhere

"certainly"

-

"did you, or did you not hex Ms. Katie Bell?" Snape asked as we strode down the halls

"Maybe we did, maybe we didn't, what's it to you?"

Snape pushed Draco against the wall "I swore to protect you. I made the unbreakable vow"

I pushed snape off him "we don't need protection!" I said, firm yet soft so no one would hear "we were chosen to do this, and I refuse to fail him"

"you're afraid, you attempt to conceal it but it's obvious. Just let me assist you"

"no, we have to do it ourselves"

Sorry it's short again
