Hermione's POV
It was 3 days until the ball and I still hadn't gotten a dress. I searched through my closet, and there was nothing perfect. Suddenly, the door opened, and Ginny walked in, angered. "Hermione, I haven't gotten a dress for the ball!"
Suddenly, an idea popped in my head. "Ginny! Let's go shopping!"
"Right!" Ginny said. "Let's go to Hogsmeade!"
I shook shook my head. "No, I've got a better idea. If I can get Professor McGonagall's permission, we can go shopping in the muggle world and have a girls day! We can go to a salon and have our nails done for the ball. We can go to multiple dress stores!"
"A salon?" Ginny asked.
I giggled. "Yes. A salon is where you can get hair, makeup, and nails done. But we will go shopping before the ball, so let's just do our nails."
Ginny nodded.

"Ginny, Professor approved! We can go!"
Ginny squealed. "Let's go tomorrow!"
I agreed.

Ginny and I apparated to the muggle world. We landed in the bathroom of a mall. "Let's go, Ginny," I said. "And stay close."
We left the bathrooms and entered the clothes shopping area. "Holy crickets!" Ginny said. "This is amazing!"
I smiled. "Let's go!"
We searched through and through for the perfect dresses and went through many stores. As we walked through the mall, I spotted my parents. Shocked, I pulled Ginny aside. "Let's go to France. There's a small boutique I know you'll love!"
Ginny nodded excitedly.
When we got there, we entered the boutique. It was bright colored and in a oval shape. The walls were golden, the store was wide, and there was a chandelier hanging in the middle. There were changing areas in the back.
Ginny's jaw dropped and we continued our search. "Hermione, I don't have muggle money! I only have Sickles and Galleons on me!"
"I've got you, Ginny," Hermione said. "I'll pay for them myself."
Ginny smiled and gave me a hug. "Thank you!"
An hour later, Ginny came out in the most amazing dress. It was red, it must've had 50 layers. It flowed out beautifully and had flowers sewn on the top, glitter sparkling everywhere. "Ginny, it's beautiful," I whispered.
"Thank you," she said. "It's perfect."
We continued to look for my dress, when a special dress caught my eye. It was perfect.

When we arrived back at Hogwarts, I couldn't help but smile. I hid my dress in my closet and sat on my bed. I wondered what Draco was doing at the minute. I searched for him, I went everywhere. I finally gave up and returned to my dorm when I spotted Harry, Ginny and Draco sitting in the commons. Harry and Ginny were laughing their arses off and Draco frowned. "Hermione!" He said and came to my side.
"Hi," I said, and Draco gave me a peck. "Well, this is a lovely sight."
"We were just talking about the encounter you and Draco had when you punched him," Harry said. "I still remember the look on your face."
"Shut up Harry," Draco said. "I'd hate to punch you after hanging out for a few ours."
I stared at them in awe. "What did you do for hours and not kill each other?" I asked.
"Harry introduced me to some muggle games," Draco said. "Monoly, was it?"
Harry smiled. "Monopoly, truth or dare, etc."
"That's nice," I replied, "but Draco and I are going to hang out now."
I held his hand and dragged him to my room. I slammed the door, turned around and kissed him. He immediately returned the kiss and wrapped an arm on my waist, the other one cupping my face. He backed up and fell on my bed. He sat up and I sat in his lap. I wrapped my arms around his neck and his tongue licked my bottom lip, his hands now on my neck and face. I smirked and broke our kiss. "I missed you today," I said.
"No talking," he replied and kissed me back.
I pushed him away. "Sorry," I said. He groaned. I got up and closed my closet door.
"Fine," He said, ruffling his hair. "I heard you went dress shopping."
I looked at him. "Yep."
"Can I see it?" He asked, giving me sweet eyes.
I held my back against the closet door. "No! It's a surprise."
He got up and walked towards me slowly, his smirk growing on his face. He stood in front of me, breathing down on me. He smirked down on me. "Oh yeah?" He said. "Fine!" He picked me up and threw me on the bed playfully. He landed on top of me and tickled my sides.
I screamed and laughed. "Stop, Draco!" He showed no signs of surrendering. I giggled and tried to push him off. When he finally stopped, I finally breathed. He smiled down at me and kissed me. Unlike the kiss earlier, this one was more passionate. It was soft, but intense. His hands stroked my hair and I held his shirt tightly. The kiss broke, and we were both breathless. He rested his forehead on mine. He laid back and held me in his arms.
"No matter what happens," Draco said, "remember I love you."
I looked up at him and smiled. "I love you too." I snuggled into his chest, and we fell asleep.
