[ONE WEEK LATER]
-Draco-
I was being stupid, right? There was no way Granger would go with me to the ball. But, maybe...she did...huh?

/FLASHBACK/
The bitter cold stung my face, and Hermione wrapped her scarf further around her neck.
I just called her Hermione. Uh oh. Great, now I won't stop. Peachy.
She was shivering madly, and I briefly felt my teeth chatter. I looked around me, not yet realizing where I was.
"Hurry up, Granger. We don't have all day. Did you work out that vanishing cabinet?"
"Yeah, they should all be able to fit and get through."
Why wasn't she mad at me? I mean, I just Apparated her away from all her known friends and family, gosh. Show some Malfoy respect.
I nodded in response.
"You know Bumblebee called for a ball as soon as we get back. Which is tomorrow." I tried to sound nonchalant, failing miserably.
"You care?"
"Yeah, you going with someone?"
"Possibly," she blushed. "You?"
"I don't really do dances and stuff..."
Hermione raised an eyebrow and chuckled.
"Sure," she muttered. "Where are we anyway?" I myself wasn't aware of that either. I glanced around, before realizing I had Apparated her to the Malfoy Manor. She seemed to realize it too.
"Crud," I whispered. "Well, come on." We walked in, and I tried to keep her out of as many rooms as possible-sometimes all of the pure-blood stuff was embarrassing, especially since she was Muggle born. Thankfully, Mother and Father weren't home.
A loud crack erupted in the living room, causing me to leap up and Hermione to simply look up from the book she was reading. (Does this girl ever stop reading?)
"Stay here," I commanded.
I ran into the living room, where I was surprised by Dumbledore.
"Mr Malfoy! Fancy seeing you here! Oh, and Ms Granger!" I turned around to see that Granger had followed me in. I scowled. "Now Mr Malfoy, let's get to business. Did you Apparate between here and the Weasley residence?"
I meekly nodded.
"The Weasley's and Mr Potter are concerned, Ms Granger, and I will take you back now." He ignored me and looked straight at her.
She looked slightly hesitant, but said, "Yes, Professor. That would be best."
"Granger was fine and I-" I argued.
Dumbledore held up a hand and interrupted, "Did Ms Granger come here of her own will?" I looked at the floor.
"Kind of," I mumbled.
"Ginny Weasley reported that you grabbed her as you were Apparating," Dumbledore stated. "Is that of her own will?"
Hermione piped up, "Actually sir, we were working on Draco's...err...task." At this, he nodded.
Why does Granger always make sense?
"Then I will leave you be for a few hours, then I'll come back and take you to The Burrow. Oh, and Ms Granger? I hope you realize that I did not mean for this task to involve you entirely, he just...needs help." After the silence, he finished, "Good day, I'll see both of you at the ball tomorrow, I hope." We both shook our heads. "Oh, you can go together!" We shook our heads vigorously.
That's actually the best idea the Bumblebee has had in months.
I couldn't say that, of course...
"I insist!" Dumbledore persisted as we grumbled a muffled 'no'. "Yes!" Well, now we couldn't argue. "Good day," he finished then Apparated off, most likely to The Burrow.
"Well, I suppose we must." she finally grumbled.
"No way!" I said in spite of myself. She looked hurt, and I felt a small pang of guilt. "But I guess we have to." I saw a small smile flicker across her lips. I pretended not to notice.
"Yeah," she replied and walked off, most likely to return to her book.
I smiled inwardly, sauntering towards the living room.
"Hey Granger," I called. "Will we be wearing green or black?"

Short chapter? Sorry...but mysterious, ehh? Ehh? Listening to Adele while finishing this (by the way it's When We Were Young from her album 25.) I can't believe the Panthers lost to the Falcons! They were 14-0! Way off track...but I'm sorry for the inconsistent updates and everything...GAH! So, I apologize. For all you Dramione fans, hope you enjoyed this, the Malfoy Manor and them preparing to go to the ball. If you don't like Dramione, then some Hinny, Nuna and possibly Ravender will be coming your way. 165 views 😱 😱😄
