CHAPTER ONE- Wonderful Tonight.

Harry's breath was gone. For what seemed like a whole hour, he couldn't breathe. She. Was. Beautiful. Her long brown hair, done up so elegantly, a few face-framing curls dancing around her flawless face. Her chocolate brown eyes were dancing in the light, just like her gorgeous gossamer dress. It was a magenta color, that made her skin glow. He never thought he'd think this way about his best friend…but he just couldn't help himself. Her eyes caught his.

"Harry!" She called out, her teeth flashing as she smiled cutely. She made to run at him, but a tall boy grabbed her.

"Her-mone-nin-nee." Viktor Krum said in a gruff voice. He pulled her in the direction of the Great Hall, and Hermione shot Harry an apologetic look, and mouthed, 'I'll see you inside.' Harry's heart sank.

Ron was at his side, suddenly, and he put a hand on his friend's shoulder. "We ought to go in. Get it over with, ya know?" He said. Harry nodded, glancing at Ron quickly, before they followed Hermione.

Two hours later, and she was still breath taking. Harry didn't know what was making him notice her now more than ever. It had actually started earlier in the year, but now…he couldn't resist looking at her. She noticed him looking at her, and came over to sit next to him and Ron, sighing.

"I'm thoroughly exhausted!" She said, smiling none the less. Harry nodded, looking into her deep brown eyes for what seemed like the first time. Suddenly, a song began to play that he had heard once before. It began with heart wrenching guitar riff, matched with a piano. He grabbed her wrist, pulling her up.

"Hermione? Will you dance with me? Just this once." He muttered. She smiled.

"Sure Harry…I swear, I've heard this song before…" She was lost in thought as he lead her onto the dance floor, and pulled her into a hug. As they rotated slowly on the spot, the lyrics began.

"It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

Hermione looked up at Harry. His eyes were soft, and he was smiling. She blinked, before laying her head on his chest.

"We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.

And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

Harry noticed that Hermione was stiff in his arms. He moved his head down and whispered in her ear.

"Am I making you uncomfortable?" He sounded sad.

"No. Not at all. It's just…I'm starting to regret accepting Viktor's invitation." She whispered back. She moved back to look him in the eyes. "Harry…I've been thinking about you more and more this year but…you've always been so wrapped up in Cho…and I just can't compare to her." He voice cracked, and Harry put a hand on the back of her head, pulling her close, as he sang along with the lyrics.

"I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you."

They stayed like that, spinning slowly, until the very last notes of the song played. Hermione was the first to pull away, and she smiled softly.

"Come with me." She said quietly. Lacing her fingers with his, she led him out into the hall.
