The head boy and girl meet in the middle of the dance floor. The rest of the school stood on the edge, all were eager to see the two dance.
"Well this is embarrassing," he muttered under his breath as the two meet.
"Tell me about it, and don't you dare laugh,"
"I can't believe Dumbledore had us practice the cha-cha just so we could dance to this for the ball."
"Yea, don't you dare mess up, this is already embarrassing enough as it is and if I-"
But the music had begun, cutting her off, and off they went.
When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
He started off, both of them in sync so that it looked sharp and smart.
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
She turned into him and they sway together, and she twirled out again.
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me
Other dancers may be on the floor
They started into a cha-cha, and the crowd ooh'd and aah'd at the sight.
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak
They looked like professional dancers. She wore a sharp, stunning, red dress, and he looked suave, in black slacks and a white shirt, sleaves lazily folded up at the elbows.
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
At this point there was a short instrumental. She twirled and he dipped her. And they did another smart cha-cha. By this time, both of them were smiling and were having fun, unaware of the crowd around them and how everyone was watching them. Whispers started to go around, Was that really them dancing? They looked so much like a couple! They looked so smart dancing together!
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak
With emphasis she stomped and stopped when the music stopped, and started again when the music did.
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
She twirled delicately around, while the violins played.
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
When Marimba rhythm starts to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like the lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
She turned into him and they both swayed together
Like a flower bending in the breeze,
Bend with ease, sway with ease
When you dance you have a way with me
Stay with me sway with me
When Marimba starts to play
They did another cha-cha.
Hold me close, make me sway
Then she twirled into him and they both swayed together, their eyes only leaving each other for a second before snapping back to look at each other once more.
Like the ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with ease, sway with ease
When you dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me
With much enthusiasm she stomped and twirled, arms out stretched, and he knelt on one knee and they both stopped dancing, panting, smiles as wide as crescent moons and just as bright.
They crowd clapped and cheered, there were whistles especially from Slytherin and Gryffindor.
Hermione and Draco bowed, then smiled and waved as they walked of the dance floor, hand in hand.
