Draco Malfoy: A Hogwarts Professor

Chapter 14: The Ball

A/N: I am so sorry for not updating. I feel awful, and I don't even have an excuse, I just didn't get much motivation. I'm so sorry for everyone who was waiting for this. I know, I'm a terrible author. I wanted to dedicate this chapter to @janeandmichelle , To thank her so much for all the comments and the vote. I really appreciate it, it really gave me the motivation to write this long overdue chapter. So, thanks, again!

Hermione's POV

Time flew by and before I knew it, I was graduating. Today we would finally go off into the real world and live our lives. Everyone else was very excited. I was too, but I was mostly scared and sad. Every single year, I would leave Hogwarts knowing that I would come back the next year and be with my friends. This year was different, because I knew I wouldn't ever come back; That my home for 7 years would no longer be my home. Everyone else was laughing with their friends at our graduation party. I was sitting by myself at a table with tears falling down my cheeks. Some were from happiness, and some were from sadness. I never knew you could cry with joy and sadness at the same time, but there I was. Draco came over to me after he finished talking with some other professors. He looked at me with a knowing look. He didn't even have to ask. He just knew what was wrong. He sat next to me, put his arm around me and held my hand. I melted into his touch. He was so comforting, and I never wanted to leave him. I knew that I would have to be away from him for months at a time, because he would be teaching while I stay home. He invited me to come live with him and his mother over the summer, and I agreed because Narcissa was so kind to me, she treated my like I was her own daughter.

"I'm really going to miss it." I said looking up at him. He kissed me on the lips. It was short, but passionate.

"If you really don't want to leave, Mcgonagall said she's retiring from teaching. She's still going to be the Headmistress, but she's looking for someone to take her place as Transfiguration Professor. I may have told her that you would be perfect for the job." My eyes lit up like a child's on Christmas.

"Really?" He nodded. I was in a much better mood.

"She said she'd send you a letter if she picks you, but let's be honest. Obviously she'll pick you."

"I really hope so. Then we could work together. That'd be so cool!"

After the party we went back to the manor. The Malfoy's always have a summer ball, and I was invited to go. I asked Ginny and Harry to go too. I had already bought a dress and everything that went with it. The girls had to wear a corset too. I wasn't too happy about that, but I was still excited about the ball. My dress was red, it went down all the way to my feet, and it had jewels lining the top and bottom.

*Time Lapse* At Hermione's Parent's house

"Ginny, Pansy will be here any minute so just wait for her." There was only 3 hours until the ball. I invited Ginny to come to the ball. Ginny, Pansy, and I were all going to get ready for the ball together. I heard a pop and turned around. Pansy was standing right in front of me.

"Hey, Pansy."

"Hey, Hermione!" She gave me a hug, "It's so nice to see you."

"Thanks a lot for coming. I thought it'd be more fun to all get ready together."

"Yeah, where's Ginny?"

"She's just in the bathroom." I said as Ginny walked out, as if on cue.

We all started getting ready, Pansy helped up with our corsets, Ginny did makeup, and I did hair. When we were done, we all looked amazing. Pansy wore a light blue dress with little gems on the top. It was very flowy, and it went to her knees. She had a nude lipstick, and light eyeshadow. I styled her hair into a bow at the back of her head. Ginny wore a medium pink, kind of like the one I wore to the Yule ball. (In the movies, not the books, sorry) She did smokey eye makeup with light pink lips, and I pulled half of her hair back and clipped it. I was dressed in my red puffy dress which looked so cool when I twirled. Ginny did smokey eye makeup for me too, and did a dark pink lip. I had just curled my hair and left it down. I was so excited to go to the ball. Our dates would be here soon We waited, and cast different charms on us, one to make sure we didn't sweat, and another to keep our hair in place, and one more to make sure our makeup didn't smudge. I heard a knock at the door, and Harry came in, along with Draco and Blaise. I ran over and hugged Draco, while Blaise and Pansy talked and Ginny and Harry kissed.

Draco's POV

I met with Potter and Blaise before we went to Hermione's place to pick up the girls. Potter knocked on the door, and he just went in, I followed him, with Blaise behind me. We walked into the sitting room and saw the girls. My breath caught in my throat when I caught glimpse of Hermione. I couldn't describe how she looked with 'pretty' or 'beautiful', they didn't go far enough. She was the most gorgeous woman I had ever seen in my life. She ran over and hugged me, and when I finally got my voice to work, I said, "You look amazing!"

"Thank you, you look very handsome." She said while blushing. She still wasn't used to getting compliments. I'd have to fix that. We all apparated to the ball. It was pretty fun, but after a while we were all tired. We were sitting at the table while tons of other people were dancing. I left the table to go find my mom, I asked her to play a muggle song, and I went back over to Hermione.

"Come on," I said as I took her hand." I led her out to the dance floor and waited for the song to come on. Her face lit up as the song got started. A lot of other people looked confused, as they had never heard this song, but Hermione was speechless.

If that's alright with you,

I'l pack my bags and be on my way,

And still, if that's not alright with you,

Speak now 'cause I'm on my way 'round.

To spend a night with you.

Hold you in arms, like you was a guitar,

And by now, you're guessing I'm liking you.

So fine, and I want you to be mine.

Hermione's POV

I almost started crying when I heard the song, I was so touched that he remembered it. "Aww, Draco, you remembered!" I said.

"How could I not? What with your beautiful singing and all." She blushed.

"Thank you." We danced along with the music as more and more people go up to dance. She sang along with it too. When everyone left, I brought her up to my room and... things happened... Hehehehehehehe. 

A/N: Sorry, again, for the wait. I know this is a short chapter, and I'm sorry, but this is the end of the story. If you want, I can do a sequel. Comment if you want a sequel to this story. I'm also going to be writing other stories, probably more Dramione fanfics, because Dramione is awesome! Thanks for all the support guys!
