Summary Ron Has Done Something Terrible. Hermione is a wreck. Who's there to help her? None other than our very own Slytherin Prince…Draco Malfoy. One Shot R&R

Common Room8:30 PM

"Hey Everyone! " Lavender's Voice Rang. "Dance tomorrow! …OH! And we got Karaoke!…Oh.. It's Formal.. so.. LOOK GOOD!"

"Yea! Party!" Came a Bunch of Random Voices…Out of these, Hermione Could Pick out Harry's and Ginny's…She Didn't Care…All She Wanted is To Be Alone.

"Oh My Gosh!" Hermione Stated, Almost to herself. " IF PEOPLE WOULD QUIET DOWN, I COULD HEAR MYSELF THINK!" Hermione Yelled, Infuriated with the level of noise surrounding her.

"Studying?'' Ron Quietly asked.

Hermione Glanced up…She Looked like she was going to start crying.

"Listen, Hermione-" Ron Started. But didn't get to finish, as he was quickly cut off by an angry Hermione.

"No Ron you listen! What you did to me, was horrible!" After a Pause, Hermione Continued. " Why are you even here?''

" I came here to tell you I'm sorry and that I hope you'll forgive me… I know what I did was wrong. I'm really truly sorry."

" You should be sorry! You're a horrible person , you know! And I don't think you deserve my forgiveness." And with those final words, Hermione was off to the only place she felt safe…The Library.

The Library 11:00 pm

Hermione sat against the restricted section wall.

"Who's there?" Rang a voice all too familiar.

"Oh Know, Malfoy?" Hermione Questioned.sniff

"Depends. Who's asking?" Draco asked, sounding scared. As he turned the corner to the Restricted Section. "Granger? What are you doing here? " He Replied , with an all to familiar evil smirk on his face." What's your problem huh? Weasel face break your heart? That's why its so good not to have one…like me!" Draco said with a laugh.

Draco stood for a minute, before realizing this was something serious, and sat down next to her, "Something you wanna talk about?'' He gently asked.

Draco Stood Up. "I'm Just trying to help,ok?'' Draco Yelled.

Hermione Started Crying Harder. Draco Paused, than sat back down.

'Look, I'm sorry, ok? I'm not too good at this whole 'niceness' thing.'' Draco said with a smile.

Hermione laughed, then replied, " Working your charm, huh? Always make people smile. Mostly all those Slytherin girls…I've noticed you don't talk to barely any guys except that Zambini Boy."

"Hey it's my job to make girls happy. There isn't any other guy good enough for the job…and who do you expect me to talk to? I don't like to talk to any other house guys, and the only other person smart enough to talk to in Slytherin is Blaise Zambini…he's the only that I can go to the parties with.''

"Why is That?..'' Hermione Asked, Almost forgetting her problems.

"Because.. All the other ones are butt-ugly and look they're going to rape somebody!''

Hermione looked down and started crying once again.

"Granger, I told you, I'm not good at this 'niceness' thing…why are you crying now?" Draco asked sounding exasperated.

"It's nothing, I'm Fine." Hermione Sobbed.

"No Your not…you're crying." Draco Said, showing every ounce of genius-ness he has." What's Wrong?.. I Know Something Is."

"It's Nothing, I'm If-" Hermione Started.

" Hermione Granger, this is the only time I've really seen you cry. Its something and you're not fine. What is wrong? What's bothering you so bad? Did I say something to offend you?"

"It was just something you said that made me remember a terrible memory." Hermione said, looking into his steel blue eyes.

Draco looked right back into her cinnamon ones. "Do You mean what I said about the other Slytherins?"

Hermione nodded.

" Oh Wow…I'm so sorry…we might not get along on a daily basis, but I would never want anyone to have to go through that…I'm sorry…"

"It's ok…You didn't know." Hermione Replied Sniffling. Still looking into his beautiful (A/N; Come on…ANYTHING of Drano's is Beautiful!) blue eyes.

"No it's not…Do you mind if I ask you a question? If it's too much , I'll understand.. You don't have to answer." Draco said, looking at his feet, which suddenly became very interesting.

" O.k." Hermione Replied Uneasily.

"When did this happen to you?" Draco Asked.

" Two Days Ago. that's why I was in here crying. I was trying to get away from-" Hermione Started. But quickly stopped realizing she already had said too much.

Hermione's hands moved up to cover her face. She hated her enemy seeing her like this, knowing it was perfect blackmail at a later time.

Draco Took her hands in his (He's NOT going to propose!) and looked her in the eyes once more, before replying, " Who was it Hermione?.. Who did this to you?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Most people , including me, would never expect it from him. I have to go, " Hermione said, as she got up and turned around, but then stopped, as she felt draco's hand grasp her arm, she turned her tear streaked face to Draco. Draco's eyes were so begging. Hermione told him.

"Ro- ..Ron Weasley"

Draco dropped her hand and looked into her eyes with a sad look about his face, as she turned around and ran off out of sight.

Draco leaned against the bookshelf end , and slowly sank down thinking about everything that just happened.

'How Could he?' Draco thought' I thought they were friends? Everything they do, is together. Why would he do something like that! Oh my gosh! I don't like any of them, but when somebody does that to a girl…ANY girl, boy does it piss me off! I'm going to fine Hermione…she needs someone , and she obviously cant go running to her 'friends'…So I guess I'll go see her.'

Gryffindor Tower- 12:20 AM

As Draco walked out of the library, who does he run into,. None other than Neville Longbottom.

"Longbottom!" Draco yelled, relieved he found a Gryffindor.

"Ye-ye-yes ..Ma- Malfoy?" Neville Stammered.

"Can you get Hermione for me?"

"She Hasn't been in the common room for about 2 hours. I haven't seen her since she was writing something and lavender came up with the idea for 6th/ 7th year all house unification party tomorr-"

"Unification Party? Is She Going?"

"I don't know. She said something about 3:00 AM was her time…whatever that means."

"No…she cant…I got to go. Thanks Longbottom." Draco said, turning on his heal and running.

"No Problem…" Neville replied in utter confinement , watching Draco run away.

Astronomy Tower- 2:45 AM

Hermione sat with a small notebook. What she was writing, Draco could not yet tell, as he stood in the door, watching her, crying , as she wrote something.

She looked out the Window. Using her skills from this class, she told herself out loud-

"It's about 2:52 in the morning. That's about right…Just about my time.''

" Your time?" Draco asked. Hermione Jumped." What's at 3:00? Longbottom was talking about it."

"Draco. Please…Just Go. I Can Handle -"

" If you're going to kill yourself, You're not doing a very good job at handling it… I Understand this is hard on you…I really do. But killing yourself is not the way to go. Ron…is a TOTAL jackass, and should get avada kedarva'd to death. But that's not the way you should go. Your lucky you didn't get killed afterwards like my- " Draco Stopped, as he looked out the window, Hermione thought she saw a tear forming in his eye.

"Like Your What?"

"Nothing. It. It Doesn't matter. This is about you…Promise me…Promise me, that you'll wait. At least until after you've had a little bit of fun, and lived again…Got to Lavender's Unification Party Tomorrow. Have fun once more…At least… then decide if you want to live or not…Of Course, if you still want to kill yourself , I'll throw a fit and Start kissin all over, working my charm." Draco Said, With a smirk.

Hermione Smiled. Then replied "Fine…I'll go,…But I don't expect it to change anything. Hold on a sec…I don't have anyone to go with."

" What a coincidence…Cuz…I don't either."

"What are You implying?"

"Would You like to go to the dance with me?"

" You're going to take me, a Muggle Born…Why do you care so much about saving me?" Hermione Asked.

"The Dance is a 'Unification Dance' For a reason , Granger. Besides…I've picked on you for 7 years ..I'll give you a break for a while…" Draco Said with a smile.

"Gee…Thanks….I Feel SO Special."

"Well, you should!"

" Ha! Ya..ok…well. I'll see you and your arrogant self at the dance then?" Hermione asked.

"Ya..I'll see you around 7."Draco Replied. Turning around.

" Oh, and Draco?"

"Ya?" Draco Said, Facing her again

"Thanks…For Everything" Hermione said, walking closer to him.

"No Problem…" Draco said, as he leaned down, took Hermione's hand, and Kissed it…And with that, he left, leaving Hermione There in Shock.

Gryffindor Girls Dormitory- 6:45 PM

Hermione was putting the finishing touches on her makeup, and the last bit of hairspray, before she was off to the Great Hall, for the Last Dance of her Entire Time at Hogwarts.

She Was Wearing a Beautiful Silk, Purple Dress, Nice Form To It, ..Not too Tight, Not Too Loose.

"Wow Hermione! You Look Great!"

Hermione Turned to See her One True Friend…Ginny Weasley.

"Thanks Gin…Well..I Better Be off..Gotta go Meet up with a friend."

"OK..I'll See You Later at the Dance." Ginny Replied.

Main Entrance- 6:55 PM

Hermione walked down the Grand Staircase, and noticed a very handsome looking Draco Malfoy, Waiting for her.

As Hermione Clears her throat, Draco Turns around, He's wearing a Black Suit, with a white shirt under, and a black and white striped tie, and she notices a Single White Rose , when she smiled, he knew she remembered.

"It's a replacement for the last one…From 1st year..when someone sent you those flowers.."

"Ya! That Was My Boyfriend that Year! My First True Boyfriend, and Only one that has really ever Made it into ANYTHING…and you ruined those flowers…"

"Ya well, I'm sorry…But…Lets Go Have Some Fun…It looks like you've been working on your look…you look beautiful."

"Thanks…You look very handsome too"

Great Hall- 9:00 PM

Hermione and Draco had Been Dancing for almost 2 Straight hours…For Some reason, there had been know slow songs, but…They were still both having a Blast. They were taking a Break, and walked over and got some Apple Juice (A/N; Don't ask..I was drinking this at the time I wrote it xD), when Hermione looked over to the Band, and noticed Draco talking to the lead singer… As Draco Walked back to Hermione, a certain song came on.

"May I Have this Dance?" Draco Asked, Holding his hand out.

"Yes, You May" Hermione accepted.

As they danced, Hermione Heard the Lyrics to a Certain Muggle Song , being sung in a beautiful sounding voice, coming from Draco.
