DRAMIONE ONE SHOTS!

Yule Ball.

Hermione was having an amazing time. She never thought someone like Victor Krum would ever talk to her never mind ask her to the Yule Ball. She was shocked when he had asked her the fist time. Truth is Hermione had waited a few days with Krum asking her again and again just incase Ron asked her.

Eventually Hermione agreed to go with Krum. It was quiet funny seeing Harry and Ron's faces when Victor took her arm at the bottom of the stairs and lead her to do the champions dance. Ronald was absolutely jealous throughout the whole event and it was clear to see by everyone especially the Patil twins who were ignored all night.

When Victor finally went off and left Hermione to talk to the boys she got nothing but grief from Ron. Harry was not supporting either and just took Ron's side like usual.

Despite that Hermione tried to have the best of nights. When Victor went back to his dorm Hermione went to see Harry and Ron who were heading back as well. That is when it all happened.

Hermione couldn't help herself she exploded at the rude boys. She yelled at Ron for not asking her to the ball when he should have if he were so jealous and not as a last resort either. Harry never helped Mione at all and instead just rushed up the stairs to the dorms quickly running from the 'scary' Hermione.

She couldn't hid it anymore and it didn't matter anyways because most of the people had gone to bed so she could let it out. She sat on the stairs and took her heels off as her lip began to tremble and eyes water.

Sobs escaped her throat as she went over and over the night in her mind. How could her friends be like that to her? Why could they not just be happy for her?

She was to engrossed in crying to notice the smartly dress Draco Malfoy heading over to her shaking form.

Malfoy hadn't had the best of nights either saying as he had went with the one and only Pansy Parkinsion. Who was constantly pining over other men throughout the evening especially Victor.

When Malfoy was finally free of her he had heard a sound which made him feel sad. It sounded like a girl crying. He had no idea who until he had got closer and had seen the beautiful pink frilly dress wore by the one and only Hermione Granger.

She looked amazing her mousy brown bushy hair tamed into a pretty hairstyle that made her look adorable. But the thing you could tell the most was that she was crying. Her eyes were puffy and tears trailed down her face as she sniffled.

"Granger?"

Hermione reluctantly looked up she knew it would be Malfoy by his voice. What a way to top of the night she thought by getting humiliated.

"What do you want Malfoy?" she said viciously wiping at he eyes.

"Well i was going to bed but then I heard this whimpering noise so I decided to check it out incase it was one of those nargle things looney Loovegood is always blabbering about." he smirked.

"Shut up and leave me alone what do you care anyways?!"

"Well Granger you see if I'm seen anywhere near you and word gets to Potter that you were crying I will get an ear full because he will have thought it was me."

"Ha like Harry would care all he is to bothered about is Ronald!" Hermione retorted bitterly.

Draco sat down beside Hermione with a shocked expression on his face.

"Thee goody two shoes, know it all, brightest witch of her age, Granger is saying something bad towards the chosen one and Weaslbee?!" Draco said in a stupidly overly exaggerated tone.

Hermione laughed despite of herself. She knew that she wasn't exactly meant to be laughing with her bully but here she was.

" See your smiling now. "

" I guess doesn't mean I'm happy. " Hermione frowned muttering.

"Oh come on what happened?"

"Ronald was saying I was hanging around with the enemy just because he was jealous that he didn't ask me and Victor did. And as for Harry he was just siding with Ron it was ridiculous really and.... Oh" Hermione just rattled off the story until she looked over at Draco and noticed she had been rambling "Oh sorry I'm rambling aren't I"

"You certainly are." I Draco smiled genuinely.

Hermione laughed at the silliness of the whole situation.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing nothing."

"OK well how about we have a truce ey Granger?"

"Yes I would like that."

"Good well we best head back to our dorms but its been nice speaking to you and I'm glad I made you laugh and smile again."

"Thanks Malfoy and goodnight."

"Night Granger just promise you will not murder Potter and weaslbee because we can't have you in Askaban now can we?"

"I promise. " Hermione giggled.

They both parted ways to go to their dorms happy and content despite the events before their chat. It was good to know that they had a truce and maybe even a new friend in each other and who knows where that could go next😉
