You all know Hermione Granger, the girl known as the Gryffindor bookworm, a part of the golden trio, the brightest witch of the age. But what if she's changed? What if she's even the exact opposite?

What If the Yule ball was a masquerade ? What if no one knew who anyone was until the unmasking at midnight? What would happen when, 7th year, Draco Malfoy asks masked Hermione Granger to dance not knowing their true identities ? And what would happen at the unmasking once they would be revealed ? Set during 7th year loosely! It's not exactly like the books, it's my own timeline and my own spin. This story was originally on my Instagram and now I'm going to put it on watt pad. I love your comments but don't complain please. Enjoy *THIS DOES NOT FOLLOW THE BOOKS!!! YES I KNOW THAT ITS DIFFERENT. The plot in the books is usually ignored and rewritten my own way. It is set Seventh year (their last year at hogwarts during the war.) Please stop commenting that my writing is wrong.*

During the Wizarding War, Ron Weasley dies after confessing his love for Hermione. Draco admits he loves Hermione and Harry kisses her. Hermione know's Ron would be happy if she chose Harry but she can't ignore her feelings for Draco. She thinks and believes she loves Draco but she needs to hide her feelings and vulnerability from Draco when he sets her up and gets her kidnapped under his fathers orders. Read on :) Hermione opened her mouth to scream, to protest, but no sound came out. The sound of war, fighting, death and blood melted away so Hermione could only hear the thud as Ron's body hit the floor as he ceased to live. His skin became pale. His eyes stared straight at the ceiling, lifeless and dull. Hermione crawled towards him, tears refused to leave her eyes. He wasn't dead. He couldn't be. He was Ron. Her one and only love. She touched his chest and felt the coldness seep into her.

Both running from failing relationships, Draco and Hermione's paths cross in the most unexpected of places and after a small accident occurs, they both realise how much time has changed them. Leaving their pasts behind them, they embark on a new journey together but with many other obstacles standing in their way, will they ever get a chance to be the new people they so desperately want to be?

Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger? Impossible some would say but nothing is impossible. True love always conquers in the end and hopefully it will conquer in this story too. The war is over at long last and with some hard labour, time and a final wave of the wand, Hogwarts is reconstructed to look like its old self. The secret passageways, the pesky house elves and the magnificent food. It's only fair to let the people who missed their last year of Hogwarts to come back and have all the opportunities that they could ever want. This is why Harry, Ron and Hermione came back to Hogwarts, thankful to be away from the chaos of people asking for their photographs and signatures. Draco Malfoy also came back after being cleared of his previous records. He has always had strong feelings for Hermione but had never acted on them. He had decided to stay away from her this year but that was made difficult as Hermione was Head Girl and he was Head Boy. Will the two most unlikely people fall in love at long last?

The war has concluded, and the Golden Trio and the other students of their year have returned to finish off their years at Hogwarts. The Death Eaters have been imprisoned, and Hogwarts has been repaired. However, the war changed everyone, whether it was a small change or a more evident one. Relationships have been broken, but some have also been formed... Could there finally be a normal year at Hogwarts? Of course not.
