A/N: Hey everyone! Look this story is basically just one for love and fluffy feelings lol… so read on and tell me what you think! Also: This story was based on pre HBP and I have changed slight occurrences from the GOF… I donate this story to Right or Ryn because I realised that my last story was complete dribble and decided to make a very romantic story instead.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot all the rest goes to the credit of J.K Rowling!!! Awww damn so close too!

Chapter 1

Hermione browsed around the wizard clothing shop ' Amazing Attires' whilst thinking about a certain red head that made her breath become quicker and her heart slam in her chest whilst the feeling of butterflies fluttered around in her turning stomach. He had the most amazing blue – green eyes and his freckles reminded her of the times he had drawn ink dots on her skin during history of magic making her shiver in delight at the feel of his warm hand holding down her wriggling arm.

Hermione selected a set of silver dress robes off the rack and checked to see if it was her size. She then remembered the sight of the silver moonlight in their 4th year at the Yule Ball and how Ron had taken her outside to tell her how beautiful she looked in her midnight blue robes and then softly placed a kiss on her cheek before walking back into the Great Hall to talk to their other best friend Harry, this memory caused her to smile and she felt back the urge to blush at how angry Vicktor had been when he had seen her with Ron later that night leaning against each other as they watched Harry dance the floors with the many girls who had been interested in the second Hogwarts champion, their hands gently entwined.

Alas this love affair was not meant to be, as recently she and Ron had decided it would be better to just remain friends. But this greatly pleased Hermione as her gaze was now fixed on the one boy who made her heart do funny flip flops every time she heard his name and how he cared so deeply for her in a totally different way. He was the one that Hermione wanted to go the 6th and 7th year ball with but instead he had gone with Ginny… "damn that girl, and her perfect wavy locks" thought an agitated Hermione.

Hermione was jerked back into reality as the tall, pale ferret pushed past her with a scowl over his handsome face. "Watch it mudblood" growled Malfoy as he disappeared into the male dress robes section. "Bloody ferrets" cursed Hermione under her breath as she browsed the racks again for another suitable option. Upon reaching the second rack of robes Hermione selected three more styles; pale pink, sheer green and a white robe. She then took her selections to a changing booth and took off her woollen jumper and dark wash jeans. She carefully slipped into the pale pink robe which was a very girly and pretty number that made her feel like an elegant lady but it just made her hair look very mousy and dull whilst her face looked paler blending in slightly with the dress. "No, I don't think so" she mumbled as she slipped out of the robes and placed them on the side of her change room. She next tried on the silver and white but both of which succeeded in making her look like she was going to a wedding. "Please dear Merlin let this be the one" murmured Hermione whilst she turned her back to the mirror and slipped into the sheer green robes that automatically made her feel…Perfect ; in every way shape and form.

She could feel how radiant she looked in the dress before she even looked up into the mirror. As she slowly raised her chocolate brown eyes to the mirror she became fixated on the girl, NO, woman in front of her. "Yes! This is it. The robes that will make him see me for what I really look like and not just my personality" whispered Hermione as she grinned ear to ear at the thought of the shock he'd get and how he'd realise that Ginny was not the one he wanted but her, and her alone.

"Wanted her, her alone. As in Her-mione" giggled Hermione at her silly joke as she handed over her selection to the sales wizard. "Hey, you got a nice laugh" commented the sales wizard at which Hermione looked at pointedly then giggled again and replied "Thank-you" whilst she turned a delicate shade of puce. "No problem darling, that'll be 50 galleons thanks" said the sales wizard with an amused smile playing on his lips.

Hermione quickly handed over the correct amount of round gold coins and fled from the store with a big black box stamped with red wax that read ' Amazing Attires, not just excellent!'. Hermione then walked over to the Three Broomsticks to meet Harry and Ron for lunch as she'd promised them she would.

Hermione pushed open the heavy oak door to the pub and looked around the friendly warm room for a man with black messy hair and one with bright red. After spotting them huddled in a booth Hermione plastered a smile on her face and walked over trying to ignore the funny floppy thing her heart began to do at the sight of him. "Hello" she chorused as she sat down opposite Ron and hastily tried to shove her box under the table to avoid suspicion.

Luckily neither noticed her hurried concealment of the box and proceeded to call for Madam Rosmertta to order three more butter beers. Once all three had a large mug of the warm honey coloured liquid inside them and another in front of them did they begin to discuss a 'serious issue' that had come up… well according to Ron it was.

"She thinks I'm a freak!" moaned Ron as Harry and Hermione exchanged knowing glances, while inside Hermione her heart practically did a full summersault, but little did she know that Harry was having similar feelings.

"She thinks I'm a freak!" moaned Ron who in Harry's opinion was being ridiculous at the whole Ron-Cho situation. Harry looked up to see Hermione rolling her eyes at Ron's comment and caught her eye as they both met an understanding that Ron was indeed hopeless when it came to asking girls out.

As Harry looked into Hermione's pools of chocolate rivers he felt his heart thud painfully in his chest and he found himself wanting to prove himself to her as the great beast inside him rose up. "Say 'Mione" he began tentivly.

"Yes Harry?" inquired Hermione as they cut Ron off mid rant about how terrible his life was.

"Are you planning on going to the ball?" he queried as he felt his palms begin to sweat.

"Well umm I guess I am, seeing as I just bought myself a gown..." she began "but I don't have anyone to go with."

Harry looked intently into her eyes and saw the heat rush to her face as she turned slightly pink. He thought she looked absolutely adorable as she stared intently into his eyes.

"Well, would you- I mean do you … erm, ahh, doyouwanttogototheballwithme?" he stumbled as he suddenly found his mug very interesting.

Hermione's breath literally caught in her throat as she heard Harry blurt out what sounded very much like he was asking her to the ball, but to be sure she asked him "Pardon, didn't quite catch that Harry"

Harry sighed as he locked gazes with her again "Do you want to go to the ball with me?" he said, but this time with more force.

Hermione screamed on the inside with joy but her face merely showed shock and possibly astonishment. "I'd love to Harry," gushed Hermione as they both grinned excitedly at each other.

"Erm… I best be off" she said as she stood and hugged Ron good-bye whilst she gave Harry a small peck on the cheek. "See you at dinner guys" she replied as she scurried off out of the pub taking her box with her, where she then jumped into a carriage and headed back up to Hogwarts.

Harry followed Hermione out of the pub with his eyes and grinned at Ron who then high-fived him and said "Congrats mate, you take good care of her, ok?"

Harry chuckled at Ron's obvious attachment to Hermione even though they were just friends. "Right-o. Come on lets go find Cho" spoke Harry with a voice that blatantly said that he was up to no-good.

Ron grinned back mischievously and they went off in search of the pretty Ravenclaw that had Ron so transfixed.
