Dance Like There's No Tomorrow

“Draco,” Hermione had reached him, “dance with me.” He spun her around and started to move against her, their bodies rocking together, losing themselves in each other.

Author's Note: I was just listening to Paula Abdul's new song and inspiration hit. This story is post-war, kind of like an end-of-war party to forget and just lose themselves, a bit like a rave. It's on the Hogwarts Grounds. I do not mind if you don't review, though it would be nice if you did. All I ask is that you give my story a chance, thank you, Miss Zee.

Summary: "Draco," Hermione had reached him, "dance with me." He spun her around and started to move against her, their bodies rocking together, losing themselves in each other.

Dance Like There's No Tomorrow

All I wanna do is stay right here on the floor

Get lost in the night

And dance like there's no tomorrow

Don't care about the sunrise

Somebody please just hit the lights

All I wanna do is dance like there's no tomorrow

Lightning flashed, no one noticed. The rain poured, everyone just kept dancing. The music was pounding, everyone was moving. They needed tonight, they needed to dance, to forget, to just make everything go away

Today just wasn't my day

Everyone's getting me so fed up

I've gotta find a way

I know what can make me feel better

Stepping out in my best

Looking hotter than ever

Wherever the party is

That's where I'll be in a second

Hermione Granger was in no mood, she was needed everywhere, no one would leave her alone all day and she had just managed to slip home. She had heard about the party, she knew everyone expected her not to come. Probably all think I'll just escape into a book, she thought bitterly. She put on a pair of muggle jeans and slipped into a plain, normal T-shirt. Without a lick of makeup, she left for the rave. Somehow she was the most beautiful person there. All the girls were dressed like tarts with loads of makeup and Hermione immediately stood out.

I'm so ready to move my body

Forget about all my problems

When I hear that song

I'm a lose control

Hey, here I go

As she danced, everyone stared. Her jeans rode low on her hips, and her T-shirt clung to her. No one knew Hermione Granger could dance like that, they didn't even know she looked like that. As she listened to the music, danced to song after song, moved to beat after beat, she slowly lost control.

All I wanna do is stay right here on the floor

Get lost in the night

And dance like there's no tomorrow

Don't care about the sunrise

Somebody please just hit the lights

All I wanna do is dance like there's no tomorrow

Every time someone came close, tried to get her off the floor, she just turned away. All she wanted to do was stay on the dance floor, let the night overwhelm her, dance as if the world would end tomorrow. She didn't care that it was 3 am, she just kept moving.

I'm loving the atmosphere

Feels like I'm floating in heaven

The music's all in my ear

Taking over me

My heart's racing

Feeling so Hollywood

How I got everybody staring

Their eyes are the cameras

And I'm loving all the attention

She loved it; she loved how everyone was watching her, and how people finally noticed that she wasn't just the bookworm, the brains behind the golden trio. She felt elevated, as if she wasn't in control, as if the music was controlling her. Her heart beat wildly, especially when she noticed Draco Malfoy watching her.

Get up, 'bout to move my body

Forget about all my problems

They're playing our song

I'm a lose control

Hey, here I go

Keeping her eyes on him, she kept dancing, begging him to join her, move his body with hers. Suddenly their song came on, the one they used to listen to on the roof of Grimmauld Place, after they had become friends, after he had turned to the light and asked them for help.

All I wanna do is stay right here on the floor

Get lost in the night

And dance like there's no tomorrow

Don't care about the sunrise

Somebody please just hit the lights

All I wanna do is dance like there's no tomorrow

He still didn't move, refusing to dance with her till she asked; spoke the words aloud, finally gave into the attraction between them.

Please DJ

Don't say it's the last call

Cause I know what it means

And I don't want you to play no slow song

I'm still building the nerve to talk to that guy

Just give me another song and make it right

Lee Jordan called the last set and started to play a slow song. She looked towards the DJ's table was and called for him to play another song, pleaded for him to keep playing. He relented, melded the slow song into a faster one, and started a new set. Draco could tell Hermione was finally going to give in, he could tell from the way she walked toward him; she was determined, she had felt so much hate, now she was going to give in to his love.

All I wanna do is stay right here on the floor

Get lost in the night

And dance like there's no tomorrow

Don't care about the sunrise

Somebody please just hit the lights

All I wanna do is dance like there's no tomorrow

"Draco," Hermione had reached him, "dance with me." He spun her around and started to move against her, their bodies rocking together, losing themselves in each other.

All I wanna do is stay right here on the floor

Get lost in the night

And dance like there's no tomorrow

Don't care about the sunrise

Somebody please just hit the lights

All I wanna do is dance like there's no tomorrow

And that was how the story ends, how Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger ended up together, how they pushed though their hate, worked for their friendship and finally fell in love.
