Chapter 1: The farewell.
It was the last day at Hogwarts, the seventh-year-students were having their graduation
and everyone was really excited, they were at the Great Hall, the conversations didn't stop
and Dumbledore couldn't talk, he had to admit, everyone would remember this day. They
had spent so many experiences together. Even the defeat of Lord Voldemort. Harry
had won the war between good and evil. At the end of the last year, Harry killed him
and death eaters disappeared, although there were comments about an 'heir', but nobody really care.
The Trio was animatedly talking about their plans, as always Hermione had been the
best student in the History of Hogwarts (A/N: I'm just trying to exaggerate). Harry
and Ron also passed with good grades actually fairly good grades. There was
something special this year, the Megandra academy of witchcraft and wizardry was
known for being the best academy for wizards and witches and Hogwarts made an
arrangement with Megandra, the best students in Hogwarts would be accepted in this
academy.
"So, Hermione, are you going to Megandra?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, I have to take this opportunity, I want to be a teacher so that would be the best option, I guess" Hermione said, wondering if it really was the best option.
"How about you, Ron?" Hermione asked, knowing what his answer would be.
"I guess I would apply for the Chudley Cannons" Ron said thoughtfully.
"Just like me!" Harry said excited "Maybe we will be team-mates, I am definitely going for the seeker position"
"Yeah, maybe. I'm not sure, though. I'm sure my mum wants me to be something
important; he wants me to be like Percy! Can you imagine that? Oh my God, I THINK
THAT WOMAN IS CRAZY!" Ron screamed as if being like Percy was a terrible sin.
Harry and Hermione just laughed, they knew Ron wanted to play Quidditch, he had
been a Gryffindor chaser in sixth year, he wasn't the best but he did it pretty well.
"She only wants the best for you" Hermione said as a mother would do.
"Yeah, but the best for me is to do what I want" Ron shrugged.
"Say Ron, do you know what Ginny is going to do?" said Harry coolly.
"Hey Harry, why don't you just admit you like Ginny?" said Hermione looking deeply at his eyes
Harry looked down and blushed furiously.
"I actually don't know, I heard her talking about being a med witch" Ron answered
"And you know what Harry, I think she fancies you"
"REALLY?!" Harry exclaimed not believing his ears.
"Ha! See? You like her!" Hermione teased with a mischievous looking.
"So?" Harry said "Anyways, I bet she has another admirers who are better than me"
"Oh come 'on Harry, you know she had fancied you since. always!" Ron yelled
"Would you please shut up, Ron?" Hermione gave him a warning look.
"Whatever you say, mum"
They exploded in giggles and laughs. They used to play like that, Hermione was the
one who put them in order, and so they would just do what she wanted, like a son with her mother.
A pair of silver eyes were looking them through the Great Hall, they seemed jealous of
their happiness, that was so. sweet? Ugh! They just stared at The Trio. They belonged
to Draco Malfoy. No one really knew him really well, maybe Pansy a little but he didn't
have any real friends, just 'acquaintances'. He couldn't believe how a person could be
so happy; his life had been full of unhappiness and sorrows. After the death of Lord
Voldemort, his father was taken to Azkaban, but Draco was told to be the Heir of
Voldemort, he didn't want to, though. He was tired. tired of being unhappy, of deaths,
of everything, he just wanted to be free and do normal things, no to plan who would
be the next victim. His thoughts were interrupted by Dumbledore, he had to do announcements.
"This is the last day at Hogwarts, I'm sure you've all enjoyed this seven years just like
me, I have some announcements to do. First of all, the minister of magic has told me
that he needs some students who would like to work with magical creatures, the ones
who are interested please send me an owl tomorrow morning. Second, as you know we
have to give a recognition to the students who were accepted to the Megandra academy.
So please stand up" they all waited as the six students stood proudly inside the Great
Hall. "Very well done, Miss Granger, Miss Moon, Miss Brocklehurst, Mister Malfoy,
Mister Finch-Fletchey and Mister Perks" (A/N: All those names are in the book, I
didn't want anyone too popular). The Great Hall applauded very loudly and some of
the chosen ones' friends started to scream cheerfully. When the noise stopped,
Dumbledore continued talking.
"Third, you are one of the most special group of students, so if you agree, we'll like to
do one last reunion today. It won't be a ball but a reunion, you all will stay in the great
Hall and do whatever you want."
That seemed a great idea; in all the seventh years they hadn't gotten the chance to
know everyone in their year.
"So, the ones who desire can stay after the banquet." Dumbledore made a pause and
continued "Finally, I would like to wish you the best in the rest of your lives, I hope
everything you learned here will be useful in the future and I am sure that you will be,
and are, great witches and wizards, I hope that you find happiness at the end. If
anytime you need help, you know Hogwarts will always help the one who need it and
remember Draco dormiens nunquam titilandus. I bid you a farewell" With that
Dumbledore ended his speech, For about five minutes, the Great Hall was full of
applauses and everyone threw their hats to the air as a signal of victory. It was a
moment to remember the rest of their lives.
"Hey, Hermione, do you need help packing?" Ron offered, through the door of the Girls' dorm.
"Thanks, Ron. But I'm almost done" Hermione thanked. She put all her clothes inside
her suitcase. She saw a book that was on the top shelf, she went to pick it and realized
it was 'Hogwarts: A history'
"Ohh. my favourite book, How could I forgot you?"
She started to think about the day she bought that book, she read it the first day at
home, she couldn't believe she wouldn't see this place anymore; it was like her second
home. She heard someone knocking the door.
It was Harry.
"Are you staying for the reunion?"
"Of course, I have to!"
"What do you mean?" he asked confused
"Mmm... It's a surprise" she responded excitedly. He didn't understand
"Hey, Harry, can you believe we're leaving this place?" she continued
"Yeah. It seems impossible; I won't forget Hogwarts, ever. Hey, are you feeling ok?
He saw her eyes filling with tears.
"Yes, it's only that I will miss everything. Now, that I realized everything that I had
been through, it seems silly. The pranks, the jokes, the Quidditch, the potion finals,
the midnight sneaking, the Yule ball, even Malfoy, I'm going to miss everything."
"Yeah, we were kids when we became friends and now we're almost adults"
"And don't forget the dating, wait, a never get to date" Hermione said sarcastically.
"But because you didn't want to" Harry replied defensively.
"Oh come 'on Harry, I only said 'I think dating is a waste of time' because I knew no
one would ever ask me out" Hermione said feeling a little uncomfortable.
"How can you know that?"
"Because"
"That is not an answer"
"Let's stop thinking about sad things like my love life."
"It wa--" Harry tried to interrupt.
"AND.let's go to the reunion" said Hermione with a tone that meant the conversation was over.
She didn't tell Harry that Professor McGonagall called to do a presentation for the
Graduation night. She had been practicing the last weeks. Padma, Ginny, Pansy,
Hannah and Hermione were going to sing "I'll be there for you" (A/N Yeah, from
"Friends", the rembrandts). They had prepared choreography, too. Ginny will sing
only because Hermione invited her to participate, she's still a sixth-year.
**************************************************************************** ***
As they reached the Great Hall, they lights went off and instead appeared big
spotlights and a stage at the front, with five microphones. And little tables around
(A/N: like in the fourth book, the Yule ball part). Then Dumbledore went to the
front and said "I am very pleased to announce that after the feast, there will be a little
show and finally the reunion. So, sit down and enjoy your last day here"
They ate happily, talked between friends. Ron, of course ate as fast as a hungry lion.
"Ron, calm down, you're going to explode" Hermione stated with a disapproving look.
"I'm sorry, but I have to be full of energies so I can talk the necessary for the reunion"
Hermione just rolled her eyes.
When they finally finished everything, Hermione left her seat and told her friends that
she was going to the girls bathrooms. Actually, she was going to get ready for the
presentation.
The five girls finally reached the backstage, they put on some makeup, the costumes
and finally they were ready. You would think how they get to get along since they
were from different houses and even one of them from a different year. But as the
rehearsals passed, they learn how to put aside their differences and work; you would
actually think they were great friends, even between Hermione and Pansy. That was
the purpose of the song. To show everybody that those stupid moments of insulting
and fighting are nothing compared to the great friendship you could have with other
people.
"So, girls, are you ready yet?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Not yet" Ginny said loudly.
"Hurry up, Hermione. Clasp my collar" Pansy said desperately.
"Hold on" said Hermione "Ok"
They were actually dressing like the Spice Girls, since they had an original way to
dress. Ginny was dressing like Gery (ginger), with a tight suit with the British flag on it
and red platform-heels boots. Padma like Mel C (athletic) with a white tank top and
blue jeans. Hannah like Emma (blonde) with a pink dress, white platform- heels boots
and two ponytails. Pansy like Victoria (sophisticated) with a black tight dress and
elegant sandals. Finally, Hermione like Mel B(curly brown hair) with a long brown coat,
she didn't have any shirts under it. Because the coat covered until her waist and then
it opened like a cloak. She worn a brown skirt and her brown boots. They looked very
pretty with all her clothes on.
"Ok. Is everyone ready?" Hermione said trying to gather everyone close to her.
"Pansy?" Hermione checked
"Here"
"Padma?"
"Never better
"Ginny?"
"The same"
"And Hannah?"
"Present"
All the girls laughed "We aren't in class, Hannah" Ginny teased. Hannah just rolled her
eyes.
"Perfect. Now, remember girls smile the whole time and if you forget something,
another girl will cover you up. Oh and don't forget that at the end, each of you will
have to take a guy on the stage and dance with him until the song ends." Hermione
said nervously.
"Don't worry Hermione, everything will be ok" said Hannah smiling. Hermione just
returned the smile.
"Now" They heard Dumbledore's voice coming from the Great Hall "Everyone please
welcome to Ms. Abbott"
The girls wished her luck and Hannah ran towards the stage. Applauses echoed in the
Great Hall. "Just breath" said Padma, she was obviously getting nervous, Ginny hold
her hand and gave her a squeeze "Everything will be fine" "Thanks" Padma replied.
They were really great friends.
Then Dumbledore said "Ms. Granger". Hermione went out and applauses continued.
Then the rest appeared as Dumbledore mentioned them.
They were ready and all the male population became suddenly interested on the stage
and the five girls. Harry and Ron couldn't believe that her little Gryffindor was over
there looking like a sexy woman, single and looking for. Their jaws were hanging.
The five girls took their places in the stage and turned their backs, so they didn't see
the public.
The music began. As each of them said something, the next one turned and went
forward.
Padma: So, no one told you life was gonna be this way. *claps* Ginny: Your job's a joke, you're broke, love life's DOA Hermione: It's like you're always stuck in second gear. Hannah: When it hasn't been your day, your week Pansy: Your month or even your year but. Everyone: I'll be there for you Padma & Ginny: When the rain starts to pour Everyone: I'll be there for you Hannah & Pansy: Like I've been there before Everyone: I'll be there for you. Hermione: 'Cause you're there for me too. Padma: You're still in bed at ten, though work began at eight, Ginny: you burned your breakfast; so far things are going great. Hermione: Your mother warned you there'd be days like these, Pansy: But she didn't tell you when the world was brought down to your knees. Everyone: That..I'll be there for you. Padma & Ginny: When the rain starts to pour. Everyone: I'll be there for you. Hannah & Pansy: Like I've been there before. Everyone: I'll be there for you. Hermione: Cause you there for me too. Padma: No one could ever know me. No one could ever see me. Ginny: Seems you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me. Hermione: Someone to face the day with. Make it through all the mess with. Pansy: Someone I'll always laugh with. Even at my worst, I'm best with....you Ginny & Hannah: It's like you're always stuck in second gear. Padma & Pansy: When it hasn't been your day, your week Hermione: Your month or even your year, but.
As soon as Hermione finished that phrase the girls went down to the public, to catch
some boys. They wanted to get the boys who weren't interested and of course
someone who didn't get along with them. But all the guys seemed very interested, so
that was a difficult decision. Hannah was the first one, since she was in Hufflepuff, she
took Terry Boot from Ravenclaw, and Padma from Ravenclaw took Justin from
Hufflepuff, they looked really excited about the girls so they just went dancing to the
stage, then Ginny did her move, she took Blaise Zabini, all the Slytherins seemed quite
surprised as the Gryffindors, she was a Weasley, but a very pretty girl, so Blaise
wasn't uncomfortable at all, Ron seemed a little jealous, but suddenly surprised when
Pansy took his hand and led him towards the stage, he couldn't believe Pansy was
taking him to dance, he had to admit Pansy had a beautiful face and a gorgeous body,
so he just gave in. So that left Hermione, she didn't know who she should choose until
she saw a lonely boy at the corner, but to Hermione's surprise, it was none other than
Draco Malfoy. She didn't think twice, she went and grabbed Malfoy's hand. He looked
up and saw Hermione. 'Annoying Mudblood' he thought. 'What the hell is she doing?'
He asked himself.
"Leave me alone, Mudblood, go look for another victim" he spat angrily.
"But I want you to be my victim. Now, come 'on. Or do you want them to think you're
chicken, uh? She challenged him.
"Of course not. But unless they won't think I frequent mudbloods" he was starting to
get really pissed off.
"Don't worry they won't" she pulled hard and finally got him up.
"You never give up, do you?"
"No sir"
"Whatever. Just let's get over with this" he mumbled.
"Great, now move those things you have for legs and follow me" she started to dance.
"Oh. Are you kidding me?" it was his time to make a move.
She didn't understand what he meant until he started to dance very fast and grabbed
her hands, all the attention was focused on them. Draco, Hermione had to admit, was
a great dancer. And she was lucky to have him as her partner.
"I didn't know you could dance so well" she teased him.
He chuckled. I mean, who would have imagined Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger
dancing together, the day that happened Neville would do a potion correctly. But as
they say, miracles exist. So, the five girls were dancing with their respective partners
and all of them seemed to be enjoying a lot, even Draco. Everyone was cheering
animatedly. Finally, the song ended, and everyone applauded. The boys went down the
stairs to the tables and the girls returned to the backstage.
"Well, I presume everyone enjoyed the number, well done. Now I leave you, have a
good night and enjoy the rest of it." Dumbledore moved his hand like saying goodbye
and disappeared.
In the backstage, the girls were talking about what just had happened.
"Oh. Did you see his face when I held his hand?" Pansy laughed.
"His face looked as though he had seen a ghost!" Hermione stated "But don't worry I'm
sure Ron enjoyed it" and winked an eye to Pansy who stuck her tongue as an answer.
"Tell me about it. Blaise was at the edge of a heart attack" Ginny said.
"Hey! But Harry's face was worse. In my opinion, he was kinda jealous" Hermione
winked an eye. "Hermione, Is everything alright with your eye?" Ginny teased.
Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Oh, but I think Justin and Terry were really having a lot of fun, they didn't look
uncomfortable at all" Padma said thoughtfully and then sighed.
"I think Justin fancies you, Padma" all the girls laughed at Hannah's comment.
"And the same with Terry and you, my dear Hannah" Padma responded quickly.
Hermione was thinking about the rude comments of 'that bastard'
"Hey. Hermione, I saw Draco telling you something but I know it must have been
something nasty, but just ignore him, okay?" Pansy gave a pitiful look to her friend.
"What did he say, Mione? Ginny asked.
"The same stuff as always. That he didn't want to be related with a Mudblood like me.
But I don't care what he thinks; I know I'm worth it. He's just a stupid, self-centered,
arrogant, sad, pureblood-scum and all degrading adjectives you can think of."
Hermione said breathing heavily; her cheeks were red of the anger. "He thinks he's
better because of his blood. Please. Pureblood, my ass. I don't care anymore"
"Are you okay?" Hannah said worryingly.
"Sure gals! I mean, at the end, he accepted to dance, is not like I'm going to marry
him or something. I just wanted to have some fun. I DON'T CARE AT LEAST WHAT HE
THINKS!" she did a pause "I'm better." she sighed and then grinned like it was the
best day of her life.
All of them explode in a fit of giggles.
When Pansy finally caught her breathe, she said "I understand you, but please just
ignore him, I've known him since we were children and I know he's just a stupid little
spoiled brat, well, not so little, actually"
"Thanks Pansy" Hermione hugged her recently new friend. "What are friends for"
Pansy replied.
"Hey, Have you noticed that we didn't use to get along and now we're almost best
friends" Padma said.
"Yeah, I thought you were another kind of people, but now I think you're the bomb!"
The other four laughed at Hannah's expression.
"Why do I have to be the clown in the group?" Hannah protested
"Because" Ginny laughed "And I know that isn't a reason, but you always make us
laugh"
"Yeah. You're just too funny. Hey fellas, I think we'd better get back. It's time to go
home" Hermione sighed, thinking that these moments would never come back.
They went out and headed to the great Hall, people where talking animatedly.
Hermione and Ginny searched Harry and Ron when they finally spotted them.
Hermione turned and told her friends.
"Hey girls, if any of you have a phone, this is my number" Hermione gave them little
sheets of paper "And you can use owls as well"
"Oh! I almost forgot" Pansy smacked her forehead "This Saturday I'll be throwing a
party. All of you are obviously invited, I'm only telling you now, because I don't want
any excuses, you have to be there"
"Yahooo! Mambo!!!" Hannah said excitedly
They all laughed. "I thought so, you always laugh of me" Hannah said narrowing her
eyes "But that's ok, I guess" and laughed too.
"Ginny! Hermione! This way" Ron called them.
"We'd better go" Hermione said.
"We'll see you around" said Ginny with enthusiasm.
"Bye!" they all said.
"Whooaa, Hermione, Ginny. What happened up there?" Harry teased.
"Whatever you're going to say, you'd better bit your tongue before I do" Ginny advised
him. Harry blushed deeply.
"Ginny that's gross" Ron said with a fake disapproving look.
"Hey! What do .." Ginny said confused "Oh.you, twisted-minded" and blushed as
well.
They talked casually. Ron continued teasing Harry with Ginny and vice versa.
Pansy talked with Draco about Hermione
"What did you say to Mione?" Pansy questioned him
"Oh! Don't tell me you like Mudbloods now, Pansy" Draco replied coldly
"It isn't about Mudbloods, is about Hermione, Draco, you don't have to be so rude with
her, she hasn't done anything to you, has she?"
"She befriends with that Potter" Draco shrugged
"Is that a crime?"
"Yes, it is." Pansy rolled her eyes. "You never change"
"I know" he grinned.
"Draco, I know you, we've been like brother and sister, but please you don't have to
be such a-pain-in-the-ass, at least not to Hermione, she's my friend now"
"Whatever" he mumbled
"I didn't hear you"
"Ok, I won't" he said angrily.
"That's my bro" Pansy said and gave him a soft punch on the arm.
They continued like that until it was very late.
Then Professor McGonagall announced that the train was departing from Hogsmeade
at 12am, so that meant they'd have to leave their beloved school soon.
The carriages were ready; they got into the train and gave a last sight to Hogwarts.

remember Draco dormiens nunquam titilandus. I bid you a farewell" With that
Dumbledore ended his speech, For about five minutes, the Great Hall was full of
applauses and everyone threw their hats to the air as a signal of victory. It was a
moment to remember the rest of their lives.
"Hey, Hermione, do you need help packing?" Ron offered, through the door of the Girls' dorm.
"Thanks, Ron. But I'm almost done" Hermione thanked. She put all her clothes inside
her suitcase. She saw a book that was on the top shelf, she went to pick it and realized
it was 'Hogwarts: A history'
"Ohh. my favourite book, How could I forgot you?"
She started to think about the day she bought that book, she read it the first day at
home, she couldn't believe she wouldn't see this place anymore; it was like her second
home. She heard someone knocking the door.
It was Harry.
"Are you staying for the reunion?"
"Of course, I have to!"
"What do you mean?" he asked confused
"Mmm... It's a surprise" she responded excitedly. He didn't understand
"Hey, Harry, can you believe we're leaving this place?" she continued
"Yeah. It seems impossible; I won't forget Hogwarts, ever. Hey, are you feeling ok?
He saw her eyes filling with tears.
"Yes, it's only that I will miss everything. Now, that I realized everything that I had
been through, it seems silly. The pranks, the jokes, the Quidditch, the potion finals,
the midnight sneaking, the Yule ball, even Malfoy, I'm going to miss everything."
"Yeah, we were kids when we became friends and now we're almost adults"
"And don't forget the dating, wait, a never get to date" Hermione said sarcastically.
"But because you didn't want to" Harry replied defensively.
"Oh come 'on Harry, I only said 'I think dating is a waste of time' because I knew no
one would ever ask me out" Hermione said feeling a little uncomfortable.
"How can you know that?"
"Because"
"That is not an answer"
"Let's stop thinking about sad things like my love life."
"It wa--" Harry tried to interrupt.
"AND.let's go to the reunion" said Hermione with a tone that meant the conversation was over.
She didn't tell Harry that Professor McGonagall called to do a presentation for the
Graduation night. She had been practicing the last weeks. Padma, Ginny, Pansy,
Hannah and Hermione were going to sing "I'll be there for you" (A/N Yeah, from
"Friends", the rembrandts). They had prepared choreography, too. Ginny will sing
only because Hermione invited her to participate, she's still a sixth-year.
**************************************************************************** ***
As they reached the Great Hall, they lights went off and instead appeared big
spotlights and a stage at the front, with five microphones. And little tables around
(A/N: like in the fourth book, the Yule ball part). Then Dumbledore went to the
front and said "I am very pleased to announce that after the feast, there will be a little
show and finally the reunion. So, sit down and enjoy your last day here"
They ate happily, talked between friends. Ron, of course ate as fast as a hungry lion.
"Ron, calm down, you're going to explode" Hermione stated with a disapproving look.
"I'm sorry, but I have to be full of energies so I can talk the necessary for the reunion"
Hermione just rolled her eyes.
When they finally finished everything, Hermione left her seat and told her friends that
she was going to the girls bathrooms. Actually, she was going to get ready for the
presentation.
The five girls finally reached the backstage, they put on some makeup, the costumes
and finally they were ready. You would think how they get to get along since they
were from different houses and even one of them from a different year. But as the
rehearsals passed, they learn how to put aside their differences and work; you would
actually think they were great friends, even between Hermione and Pansy. That was
the purpose of the song. To show everybody that those stupid moments of insulting
and fighting are nothing compared to the great friendship you could have with other
people.
"So, girls, are you ready yet?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Not yet" Ginny said loudly.
"Hurry up, Hermione. Clasp my collar" Pansy said desperately.
"Hold on" said Hermione "Ok"
They were actually dressing like the Spice Girls, since they had an original way to
dress. Ginny was dressing like Gery (ginger), with a tight suit with the British flag on it
and red platform-heels boots. Padma like Mel C (athletic) with a white tank top and
blue jeans. Hannah like Emma (blonde) with a pink dress, white platform- heels boots
and two ponytails. Pansy like Victoria (sophisticated) with a black tight dress and
elegant sandals. Finally, Hermione like Mel B(curly brown hair) with a long brown coat,
she didn't have any shirts under it. Because the coat covered until her waist and then
it opened like a cloak. She worn a brown skirt and her brown boots. They looked very
pretty with all her clothes on.
"Ok. Is everyone ready?" Hermione said trying to gather everyone close to her.
"Pansy?" Hermione checked
"Here"
"Padma?"
"Never better
"Ginny?"
"The same"
"And Hannah?"
"Present"
All the girls laughed "We aren't in class, Hannah" Ginny teased. Hannah just rolled her
eyes.
"Perfect. Now, remember girls smile the whole time and if you forget something,
another girl will cover you up. Oh and don't forget that at the end, each of you will
have to take a guy on the stage and dance with him until the song ends." Hermione
said nervously.
"Don't worry Hermione, everything will be ok" said Hannah smiling. Hermione just
returned the smile.
"Now" They heard Dumbledore's voice coming from the Great Hall "Everyone please
welcome to Ms. Abbott"
The girls wished her luck and Hannah ran towards the stage. Applauses echoed in the
Great Hall. "Just breath" said Padma, she was obviously getting nervous, Ginny hold
her hand and gave her a squeeze "Everything will be fine" "Thanks" Padma replied.
They were really great friends.
Then Dumbledore said "Ms. Granger". Hermione went out and applauses continued.
Then the rest appeared as Dumbledore mentioned them.
They were ready and all the male population became suddenly interested on the stage
and the five girls. Harry and Ron couldn't believe that her little Gryffindor was over
there looking like a sexy woman, single and looking for. Their jaws were hanging.
The five girls took their places in the stage and turned their backs, so they didn't see
the public.
The music began. As each of them said something, the next one turned and went
forward.
Padma: So, no one told you life was gonna be this way. *claps* Ginny: Your job's a joke, you're broke, love life's DOA Hermione: It's like you're always stuck in second gear. Hannah: When it hasn't been your day, your week Pansy: Your month or even your year but. Everyone: I'll be there for you Padma & Ginny: When the rain starts to pour Everyone: I'll be there for you Hannah & Pansy: Like I've been there before Everyone: I'll be there for you. Hermione: 'Cause you're there for me too. Padma: You're still in bed at ten, though work began at eight, Ginny: you burned your breakfast; so far things are going great. Hermione: Your mother warned you there'd be days like these, Pansy: But she didn't tell you when the world was brought down to your knees. Everyone: That..I'll be there for you. Padma & Ginny: When the rain starts to pour. Everyone: I'll be there for you. Hannah & Pansy: Like I've been there before. Everyone: I'll be there for you. Hermione: Cause you there for me too. Padma: No one could ever know me. No one could ever see me. Ginny: Seems you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me. Hermione: Someone to face the day with. Make it through all the mess with. Pansy: Someone I'll always laugh with. Even at my worst, I'm best with....you Ginny & Hannah: It's like you're always stuck in second gear. Padma & Pansy: When it hasn't been your day, your week Hermione: Your month or even your year, but.
As soon as Hermione finished that phrase the girls went down to the public, to catch
some boys. They wanted to get the boys who weren't interested and of course
someone who didn't get along with them. But all the guys seemed very interested, so
that was a difficult decision. Hannah was the first one, since she was in Hufflepuff, she
took Terry Boot from Ravenclaw, and Padma from Ravenclaw took Justin from
Hufflepuff, they looked really excited about the girls so they just went dancing to the
stage, then Ginny did her move, she took Blaise Zabini, all the Slytherins seemed quite
surprised as the Gryffindors, she was a Weasley, but a very pretty girl, so Blaise
wasn't uncomfortable at all, Ron seemed a little jealous, but suddenly surprised when
Pansy took his hand and led him towards the stage, he couldn't believe Pansy was
taking him to dance, he had to admit Pansy had a beautiful face and a gorgeous body,
so he just gave in. So that left Hermione, she didn't know who she should choose until
she saw a lonely boy at the corner, but to Hermione's surprise, it was none other than
Draco Malfoy. She didn't think twice, she went and grabbed Malfoy's hand. He looked
up and saw Hermione. 'Annoying Mudblood' he thought. 'What the hell is she doing?'
He asked himself.
"Leave me alone, Mudblood, go look for another victim" he spat angrily.
"But I want you to be my victim. Now, come 'on. Or do you want them to think you're
chicken, uh? She challenged him.
"Of course not. But unless they won't think I frequent mudbloods" he was starting to
get really pissed off.
"Don't worry they won't" she pulled hard and finally got him up.
"You never give up, do you?"
"No sir"
"Whatever. Just let's get over with this" he mumbled.
"Great, now move those things you have for legs and follow me" she started to dance.
"Oh. Are you kidding me?" it was his time to make a move.
She didn't understand what he meant until he started to dance very fast and grabbed
her hands, all the attention was focused on them. Draco, Hermione had to admit, was
a great dancer. And she was lucky to have him as her partner.
"I didn't know you could dance so well" she teased him.
He chuckled. I mean, who would have imagined Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger
dancing together, the day that happened Neville would do a potion correctly. But as
they say, miracles exist. So, the five girls were dancing with their respective partners
and all of them seemed to be enjoying a lot, even Draco. Everyone was cheering
animatedly. Finally, the song ended, and everyone applauded. The boys went down the
stairs to the tables and the girls returned to the backstage.
"Well, I presume everyone enjoyed the number, well done. Now I leave you, have a
good night and enjoy the rest of it." Dumbledore moved his hand like saying goodbye
and disappeared.
In the backstage, the girls were talking about what just had happened.
"Oh. Did you see his face when I held his hand?" Pansy laughed.
"His face looked as though he had seen a ghost!" Hermione stated "But don't worry I'm
sure Ron enjoyed it" and winked an eye to Pansy who stuck her tongue as an answer.
"Tell me about it. Blaise was at the edge of a heart attack" Ginny said.
"Hey! But Harry's face was worse. In my opinion, he was kinda jealous" Hermione
winked an eye. "Hermione, Is everything alright with your eye?" Ginny teased.
Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Oh, but I think Justin and Terry were really having a lot of fun, they didn't look
uncomfortable at all" Padma said thoughtfully and then sighed.
"I think Justin fancies you, Padma" all the girls laughed at Hannah's comment.
"And the same with Terry and you, my dear Hannah" Padma responded quickly.
Hermione was thinking about the rude comments of 'that bastard'
"Hey. Hermione, I saw Draco telling you something but I know it must have been
something nasty, but just ignore him, okay?" Pansy gave a pitiful look to her friend.
"What did he say, Mione? Ginny asked.
"The same stuff as always. That he didn't want to be related with a Mudblood like me.
But I don't care what he thinks; I know I'm worth it. He's just a stupid, self-centered,
arrogant, sad, pureblood-scum and all degrading adjectives you can think of."
Hermione said breathing heavily; her cheeks were red of the anger. "He thinks he's
better because of his blood. Please. Pureblood, my ass. I don't care anymore"
"Are you okay?" Hannah said worryingly.
"Sure gals! I mean, at the end, he accepted to dance, is not like I'm going to marry
him or something. I just wanted to have some fun. I DON'T CARE AT LEAST WHAT HE
THINKS!" she did a pause "I'm better." she sighed and then grinned like it was the
best day of her life.
All of them explode in a fit of giggles.
When Pansy finally caught her breathe, she said "I understand you, but please just
ignore him, I've known him since we were children and I know he's just a stupid little
spoiled brat, well, not so little, actually"
"Thanks Pansy" Hermione hugged her recently new friend. "What are friends for"
Pansy replied.
"Hey, Have you noticed that we didn't use to get along and now we're almost best
friends" Padma said.
"Yeah, I thought you were another kind of people, but now I think you're the bomb!"
The other four laughed at Hannah's expression.
"Why do I have to be the clown in the group?" Hannah protested
"Because" Ginny laughed "And I know that isn't a reason, but you always make us
laugh"
"Yeah. You're just too funny. Hey fellas, I think we'd better get back. It's time to go
home" Hermione sighed, thinking that these moments would never come back.
They went out and headed to the great Hall, people where talking animatedly.
Hermione and Ginny searched Harry and Ron when they finally spotted them.
Hermione turned and told her friends.
"Hey girls, if any of you have a phone, this is my number" Hermione gave them little
sheets of paper "And you can use owls as well"
"Oh! I almost forgot" Pansy smacked her forehead "This Saturday I'll be throwing a
party. All of you are obviously invited, I'm only telling you now, because I don't want
any excuses, you have to be there"
"Yahooo! Mambo!!!" Hannah said excitedly
They all laughed. "I thought so, you always laugh of me" Hannah said narrowing her
eyes "But that's ok, I guess" and laughed too.
"Ginny! Hermione! This way" Ron called them.
"We'd better go" Hermione said.
"We'll see you around" said Ginny with enthusiasm.
"Bye!" they all said.
"Whooaa, Hermione, Ginny. What happened up there?" Harry teased.
"Whatever you're going to say, you'd better bit your tongue before I do" Ginny advised
him. Harry blushed deeply.
"Ginny that's gross" Ron said with a fake disapproving look.
"Hey! What do .." Ginny said confused "Oh.you, twisted-minded" and blushed as
well.
They talked casually. Ron continued teasing Harry with Ginny and vice versa.
Pansy talked with Draco about Hermione
"What did you say to Mione?" Pansy questioned him
"Oh! Don't tell me you like Mudbloods now, Pansy" Draco replied coldly
"It isn't about Mudbloods, is about Hermione, Draco, you don't have to be so rude with
her, she hasn't done anything to you, has she?"
"She befriends with that Potter" Draco shrugged
"Is that a crime?"
"Yes, it is." Pansy rolled her eyes. "You never change"
"I know" he grinned.
"Draco, I know you, we've been like brother and sister, but please you don't have to
be such a-pain-in-the-ass, at least not to Hermione, she's my friend now"
"Whatever" he mumbled
"I didn't hear you"
"Ok, I won't" he said angrily.
"That's my bro" Pansy said and gave him a soft punch on the arm.
They continued like that until it was very late.
Then Professor McGonagall announced that the train was departing from Hogsmeade
at 12am, so that meant they'd have to leave their beloved school soon.
The carriages were ready; they got into the train and gave a last sight to Hogwarts.
