Description
She took the beautiful charmed necklace out of the long handmade box. It was silver with three hearts, gently place 3 centimeters apart, with a small diamond jewel in the middle of all of them. On the back of the middle heart it said,
'Love,
Draco'

Hermione had the most excited feeling going through her body, she couldn't describe it.

"I love it!" She shrieked and she gave Draco a long, passionate kiss and she threw her arms around him. Once she let go, she lifted her hair as he put the necklace around her neck. He whispered in her ear,

"I love you."

"I love you too."

During dinner, Professor McGonagall spoke.

"Attention please." The noise kept getting louder. "Attention!" She yelled a bit louder. "Quiet!" She screamed. That shut everybody up. "After dinner I would like to see Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter in my office. Thank you." After that announcement the noise increased.

"What do you think McGonagall wants?" Harry asked Hermione and Ron.

"I don't know." Ron and Hermione said in unison.

Dinner was over, so Harry, Ron and Hermione made there way over to McGonagall's office.

"Welcome children. I am not so pleased to inform you of our troubles, but we fear Voldemort has returned to Hogwarts or the second time." She sounded a bit tired.

"Oh no. When will he be here?" Hermione asked.

"About 3 days." McGonagall replied. "That is about the time that he would break through the magical walls that surround the school."

"What spell is he using to break the walls?" Ron asked.

"Bombarda Maxima." McGonagall said.

"But that's only a small explosion, how could he get through?" Hermione questioned.

"He is the most powerful dark wizard of all time. I think he can get by." Ron said as a-matter-of-factly.

Harry spoke, ignoring the bickering, "If we use the counteracting curse on the walls it should keep it safe until we can come up with a better plan, right?"

"Um, I guess for now. But Mister Potter, I hope you have another plan as well, because we are going to need it." McGonagall said worriedly. "We also have received word that the Death Eaters have arrived, and Bellatrix has escaped from Azkaban."

This was worse than they thought, Voldemort, the death eaters, AND BELLATRIX?!? How were they going to prevent that.

2 weeks before the Halloween Dance and Ginny and Hermione hadn't even picked out dresses!

Ginny and Hermione went to Hogsmeade the next day to get some dresses.

They walked into 'Dress Galore!' to find the perfect gown.

"So Ginny, who are you going with?" Hermione asked.

"HARRY! Harry has asked me to go to the Halloween dance with me!!!" Ginny exclaimed. The two girls shrieked with excitement.

"Shh!" The store manager hissed. The two girls went to try on some lovely gowns.

Ginny went through no more than one gown and found the perfect one. It was a black short dress, skinny straps, and a little green design on the bottom of flowers. It went up to her knees, with a princess tiara for accessories.

Hermione, on the other hand, went thought 13 different dresses before she found the right one.

It was a beautiful dress, light blue, it went to her knees as well. It has a handmade design carefully laced on the bottom, and made its way to the top, it was a vine with small flowers, leaves, and other vines on it. The dress has skinny straps, but it looked gorgeous on Hermione.

They paid for the dresses and went on their way.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hello beautiful." Draco said as he kissed Hermione.

"Hi! I got my dress." She said.

"May I see it?" Draco pestered.

Hermione shook her head and said, "No, you may not. You can see it at the Halloween Dance, when we have our slow dance."

"Alright, but can you promise me that we will have that dance?" He sad with loving blue eyes.

"Of course." She replied.

They went separate ways, and parted for the day.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

(One week later)

"Is the plan working?" Harry asked Professor McGonagall. Harry had come up with a new plan. Before, they only had to use the counteracting curse. Now they have a new plan.

"Yes Mr. Potter! It is brilliant! I am so glad to have such intelligent students at Hogwarts." She exclaimed as she pinched their cheeks.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(The next day)

Ron was passing Hermione in the hall when he dropped his books and grabbed Hermione against the wall. Hermione gasped and in shock, she was defenseless.

"I miss you Hermione!" He said as he passionately kissed her. Hermione kissed him back for the slightest second then pulled away in anger and frustration.

"Ronald Weasley! You know I am with Draco now! Don't you ever do that again!" After she finished screaming, she slapped Ron across the face and walked away, clutching onto her arms in pain. She was crying, not because it hurt, because of who she hurt. She hurt her best friend.
