AN: I know I should have worked on "Things Not Allowed Hogwarts" but muse told me to this one-shot instead :D. Speaking of that I have extended the poll for it through the rest of THIS month only as it's still tied. So go vote! ~Vixen519

I'll wear that dress...
They had been in this sort of dance pattern for some time since the big 'Battle of Hogwarts', or something like that. They just kept gravitating towards one another it seemed. Luna noticed three months into in the field between their families' lands they constantly bumped into one another to escaped others bothering them.
"George?"
"*sigh*, Yes Luna", he replied rather lazily while he fiddled with a flower in his hand.
"If we wanted to escape from everyone for seclusion, why do we find ourselves constantly talking to one another in this field then? You refuse to talk to your family, which I'm not asking you to so don't get that face with me! And I have no family left now that my father is still stuck in Azkaban because the Ministry is bonkers when it comes to doing their paperwork. So why do you choose to talk to me, or rather why do you choose to be here with me of all people is my question I suppose I'm getting to?", the blonde Ravenclaw rambled.
He sat up and stood from the somewhat tall grass and looked over at her from where she lay. The early morning sun was shining on her rather prettily now with such an orange glaze she could pass for a Gryffindor with the color going over her. She was wearing muggle jeans with a nice purple short sleeved top; in essence she was radiant at the moment. Then again now that he thought about she always was to him. That was why he could talk to her and none of his family or his old chums from the house Quidditch team. His brother's would tease him endlessly if they discovered he was falling for a girl but couldn't get the nerve to even tell her he even fancied her! Fred must be rolling over in his grave right now, or laughing his freckled arse off looking at what he was doing.
"The reason I would rather be with you Luna is you're the only one around here that isn't going around and changing after everything that's happened! Ron and Hermione are snogging non-stop instead yelling at each other, which is weirder then I know what to do with. Mum just hugs Percy like he was never gone for all the time considering all the crying she did over him I don't get why she just let him back in so easily, and yells at me every time something unfortunate happens to dear Perce's things. Then of course there's Gin and Harry – they had to go and run off to soddin' Greece! Send Dad up the wall with worry for a week until we get word that they've eloped and now that they're coming back next week when the Ministry of Magic is having a celebration ball for him after everything he's done / for his wedding.", he rant's as he paced back and forth like Professor Snape used to back when he was alive.
She just smiled, stood and skipped over to him, "Do you have a date to the celebration ball yet George?"
"No, because I'm not going", he said rather stubbornly and looked away from her, which had him miss her face fall into despair at his response.
"But you HAVE to go George! He's your brother-in-law now; the ball is kind of a celebration of their union. Your family will be there, you don't want to hurt your sister this way – do you?"
"I'm not mad at her, just that Harry never asked Dad for permission. I may goof around a lot but I like some thing's traditional."
"So if I asked you to the ball right now you'd say no…?"
"That depends, are you asking – seriously?"
"I want to go to the ball with you, ok!", she hollered with made a few birds leave some trees nearby. He observed her for a moment or two. Her face was flushed in embarrassment from getting angry that easily, which was rare for her and uncommon.
"I'll give you this; you were direct so I'll say yes. Just this once. From now on I'll do the asking though."
"'Kay George…Oh George!", she called out to him before he could leave their little field of peace.
"Yes?", He turned around rather swiftly.
She summoned a muggle record player he recognized from many years spending time with his father and it started playing with girl singing first
Every night I walked the streets, never dreaming what could happen
Sad and so lonely, saw in the mirror my reflection
Staring back at me, " I thought, will I ever find what I need?"
But I'll wear that dress if you wear the tie
And baby we'll dance through the night cuz no one's got what we've got going
Happiness never held on to me until you had me see
That together we're just better off
George laughed and smiled. He walked back over to her and grabbed her into his arms softly as they slowly began to dance to the music that now had a man's voice join in.
Oh my heart's been tried time and again
Always thought that it was me but I see now just how wrong I was
No, I haven't known you for a lifetime
But somehow I've never been more sure that you're for me
Baby please don't leave, just come and dance with me tonight
But I'll wear that dress if you wear the tie
And baby we'll dance through the night cuz no one's got what we've got going
Happiness never held on to me until you had me see
That together we're just better off
Don't be cruel to me oh, I've wanted more and I've been wrong before
So much learning to lose but you're not a day too soon
So say you feel the same and we'll never be lonely anymore
But I'll wear that dress if you wear the tie and baby we'll dance through the night
cuz no one's got what we've got going happiness never held on to me
Until you had me see that together we're just better off
They kept dancing slowly in one another's arms until long after the song was over and didn't care. And that was how Molly Weasley and Ginny Potter found them an hour later.
