"Eyes on me"
It was the Graduation Fest. Hermione was sipping punch blissfully unaware of Harry and Ron who had been trying to get her attention for the past hour when they finally gave up. A small part of her brain had registered the boys who had asked her to dance and the girls who had told her how pretty her dress was. No, instead Hermione was concentrating on finding someone, her eyes scanning the Great Hall.
Whenever sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
She finally saw him in the shadows and started to make her way to him through the mass of dancing students.
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little bar
He watched her across the hall in her beautiful blue dress. He of course had instantly seen her enter the Great Hall and had waited for her to notice him. His eyes never leaving hers, he walked outside to the balcony. Hermione followed him unconsciously walking faster as if she might lose him. She had been waiting for this night a long time and was not going ruin it.
My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Oh, did you ever know?
That I had mine on you
She came to the balcony and saw him waiting for her with a strange look on his face.
Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer
"Severus." She said and smiled.
He gave her the rare smile only reserved for her and held his hand out for her. She took it, and he led her as they danced outside under the stars.
So let me come to you
Close as I wanted to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper
How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
Did you ever know
That I had mine on you
They held each other tightly both of them hoping it wasn't just a dream.
Darling, so share with me
Your love if you have enough
You tears if you're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that you're not dreaming
Hermione looked up to Severus' eyes and could clearly see the swirl of emotions in them. Neither spoke, yet a thousand words were said silently as they looked at each other. He leaned closer and Hermione closed her eyes when he kissed her tenderly.
Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer
Hermione and Severus continued to dance oblivious that the song had ended and that the others were going to the dormitories to get some sleep for the last time before they would leave Hogwarts in the morning. Some forever, some until the next year. For the dancing couple this wasn't the last night. It was the beginning.
AN: Hope you liked it. The song is "Eyes on me" from Final Fantasy 8 composed by Nobuo Uematsu and sang by Faye Wong
