So yeah, my first ever fan fiction- please read and review guys :}
He lay, looking up at the ceiling, just thinking. The clock in the grand hall chimed twelve and the castle was silent, but Ronald Weasley was oblivious to the silence and peacefulness. His mind was whirring, cogs turning rapidly slotting into place. He just couldn't understand.
The first day he laid eyes on her. She was small and bossy with a mane of bushy brown hair, but even then the fire and determination lurked in her eyes. Just an eleven year old girl, hoping to make a difference to the world.
Quickly she became one of the lads, good old Hermione, the one who did his homework and scolded him for being untidy and late. He'd never expected to see her like this! Who would've thought it? Hermione Granger, beautiful? Oh but she was. Unbelievably so, Ron was in a state of shock at how he hadn't noticed before! How he hadn't noticed her eyes sparkling, her hair growing sleek and shiny, tumbling down her back in a waterfall of golden chestnut tones. Until tonight.
The start of his seventh year at Hogwarts, NEWT studies were keeping him busy, so busy in fact he hadn't had a proper non work related conversation with Harry in months! So a Yule Ball to celebrate Christmas time was a welcome relief for all the students in his year. All except Ron, whose memories from his fourth year in those dreadful hand me down burgundy monstrosities were far from pleasant. Until a notice went around saying dress robes were optional- thank god
How had it turned into this?
Ron, of all people?
Surely not?
Her head continually denied it, but her heart sang a different tune.
'Right Harry mate, we need something to wear, other than those dreadful dress robes!'
'I know, I think I saw a shop in Hogsmeade that sold alternative dress wear, like muggles wear?'
'Next trip to Hogsmeade is this weekend so we can have a look?'
'Yeah, sure'
And so they went, casually into Hogsmeade until they found the shop Harry had mentioned, it sold suits and ties and funny things called tuxedos that made you resemble a penguin! The invitation suggested formal wear, the penguin suit it was.
And so he dressed, spritzed a bit of aftershave on and surveyed himself in the mirror.
Well it certainly beat the dress robes!
All students were to assemble in the Entrance hall and wait to be ushered into the Great hall. He stood with Harry and looked over the room, all the boys were in tuxedo's apart from poor Neville who stood proudly in his green dress robes, sticking out like a sore thumb.
'I can't see 'Mione yet', Ron craned his neck to get a better look until he noticed that the attention of everyone in the room was fixed upon the stairs. Then a gasp rippled from person to person. Ron quickly turned around to see what all the fuss was about and nearly had a heart attack!
She stood casually leaning to one side, her hair was swept up, piled in intricate curls on the top of her head, little diamond hair clips sparkled in candle light. Her skin, a creamy shade of pale was smooth and matte, a light dusting of blush gave her cheeks a rosy, cheerful look. But her eyes, oh her eyes, they scanned the room sparkling and dancing bottomless pools of deep chocolate brown.
Her dress was long and a deep shade of blue, it was silky and hung to every curve, accentuating her gorgeous figure, but most of all, the recognition when her eyes met his, the playful warm smile that hung on her lips and danced around his mind, long after all trace of it had been lost. Then Harry called out.
'Hermione, over here.'
And he was hooked.
Hope you liked it :D
