"Dream Come True"
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, except Jodi, Rosie, and Lola. They belong to J.K. Rowling. I do not own Graduation either. It belongs to Vitamin C.
For my best friends. Thank you for a dream come true.
Notes:
(In this story Ron and Hermione were just acquaintances.)
'thinking'
"talking"
It was the Graduation ball and Hermione had liked Ron for pretty much the entire 7th year. The only people who knew were Rosie, a muugle, but specially invited to the ball by head girl, a new friend she made 6th year, Lola, and her friend Jodi, a new friend from this year. During the previous two balls that year she had hooked up both Jodi and Lola with their, at that time, "crushes." She knew that they were trying to get Ron to ask her to dance, it was her they had said earlier while they were getting ready, but Hermione was really shy, and she didn't want them to actually get him to ask her to dance. She had enjoyed liking him from a distance, helping him in potions was good enough for her.
"Come on Hermione, you know you want to dance with him. PLEASE, why don't you just ask him?" said Jodi.
"You know why. AND don't you dare go tell him I like him or want to dance with him." Hermione while steadily glaring at Jodi, Rosie and Lola.
"Fine, we're gonna go get some ice cream. See you around," the Lola and Rosie said while walking to the ice cream table.
Hermione walked over to the Weird Sisters set-up with Jodi.
"You know what we should get them to play?" Hermione said.
"What?"
"That song, "Graduation", by Vitamin C. It would be perfect way to end the evening."
"Yeah...it would. I'll be right back. I think I want some ice cream after all. You request the song. Ok?"
"Yeah, sure."
Hermione went over to the request table to learn that the song had already been selected for the final song for the night. She went over to get her pumpkin juice from the table, and she saw Ron. He was getting the new-fangled berry juice that had been introduced to the wizarding world. She stopped, and turned around to go find her friends.
hour and a half later
It was getting near the end of the ball. Hermione was waiting anxiously for the end, not only for the song, but for her friends to stop bugging her to about Ron.
"Look, for the final time, I am going to a muggle collage next year, I won't see him probably again. I DON'T WANT TO DANCE WITH HIM!!" Hermione screamed, but softly enough for everyone in the room wouldn't hear.
"Fine. We won't do anything." Rosie said sadly.
About 10 minutes later her song came on.
Hermione was sitting on the side of the stage, getting ready to listen to her song.
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
"Hermione, would you like to dance?"
'I'm gonna kill them' she said in her while trying to process what was happening.' Ok, Ron is asking ME to dance. Ok. I have to answer him.'
"Sure."
Ron put her hands around her waist and she put her hands round his neck. She couldn't believe it, it was happening.
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
'It's ok Hermione. All you have left is 2 weeks, and you won't see again more than likely, SO JUST ENJOY THE DANCE!!'
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
Hermione looked up at Ron. "Did Rosie, Lola, and Jodi put you up to this?"
He looked down. "Yea."
Sure she felt disappointed, but she was happy that he a least would let her let her dream come true.
She looked back around the dance. The Weird Sisters had announced this was the last dance. The couples were starting to pair off. Luna and Neville. Draco and Pansy. Lavender and Justin. She finally found her friends at the back of the room grinning like idiots. 'I'm gonna thank them and then I'm gonna kill them' she thought laughingly.
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real cool
Stay at home talking on the telephone with me
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
Later on Hermione would only remember a few parts of that night. But, Ron asking her to dance, her first dance with a guy her age, that, she would always remember.
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends forever
So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends forever
La, la, la, la
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la
We will still be friends forever
Hermione looked up. There was Harry Potter, Ron's best friend just smiling. 'Oh boy, I may not see Ron, but I will see Harry. He's going to a college near me and his girlfriend, Ginny, is going to the same one as ME! Dang it. Oh well'
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends forever
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends forever
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends forever
Hermione loved her best friends for the best night of her life.
