Hermione's POV
The curtains beside my bed get ripped open and I flinch from the mass amount of sun that bores its way behind my eyelids.
"Get up lazy bones! First day of classes!" Ginny says a little too enthusiastically. I groan and trap my face under a pilliow. Ginny must have pullled the blankets off of me bcause I feel a sudden cold rush sweep around me causing me to jolt up right and wrap my arms and legs around myself.
"C'mon get up!" I sigh and untangle myself and swing my lefs over the side of the bed. 'Why? Why does she have to be so excited?' I thought. Usually I would be the one so enthusiastic about classes but lately I have not been looking forward to going to class and seeing him. Me and Ron broke up because I found him cheating on me with that whore, Lavender Brown. Her of all people! I sigh.
"C'mon! Hurry up! I wanna see Draco!" Ginny sqeals.
"Okay. I will be out there in a minute." Ginny nods and a giant smile graces her face as she skips down to the common room.
Sighing for the up-tenth time, I grab some clothes and a towl and head into the shower, turning it on as high as I can stand it. I strip and step in allowing the scorching water to tower-pour over me.
'Well, there is one thing good about today,' I think with a smile. 'I get to see Harry.'
I turn the water off and use a drying spell on my body and hair. I dress in a pair of dark blue jeans and a light off-the-sholder blue blouse. I throw my robes on and a pair of dark blue, purple, and black plaid converse.
I slowly make my way into the common room and find Ginny pacing the floor, Ron and Harry on the couch and Lavender in Ron's lap sucking his face off.
I walk behind the couch, lean over it, and wrap my arms around Harry's sholers and the front of his neck. I feel him jump slightly but instantly relax and I feel my body doing the same thing.
"Hi Harry" I whisper in his ear. I feel shudder with pleasure.
"Hi 'Mione" he whispers back.
I walk around to the front of the couch and grab Ginny by the sholders, stopping her pacing, afraid she might wear a hole into the carpet.
"Yay! your finally ready!" Ginny exclaims with a smile, hopping up and down slightly. "Good! Let's go!" I laugh at her joyful spirit as she sprints out of the portriate hole. I grab my bag and walk over to Ron and Lavender who is still in a powerful passionate lip lock. I smack Lavender in the back of the head and they break away from the kiss.
"Let's go." I say simply. Harry grabs his stuff and we walk out of the portraite hole together.
As we reach the Grat Hall, I see Ginny and Draco sitting at the end of the Gryffindor table with Blaise and Luna across from them.
Draco has his arm around Ginny and she is laying into his embrace. Blaise has his arm around Luna's sholders and she has her head on his sholder.
Me and Harry walk over to the table and sit down next to Ginny and Draco shortly followed by Ron and his whore Lavender who sit down across from us.
This is our little group now. Me, Harry, Ginny, Draco, Blaise, Luna, Ron, and Lavender.
Ginny and Draco started dating after her break up with Dean. She was upset and Draco showed her that their wasn't anything to be upset about. He told her that if he was stupid enought to let her go then he didn't deserve her and she deserved better. Shortly after, they started dating and have been dating ever since.
Kind of the same thing happened with Blaise and Luna escept her and Ron were the ones that broke up.
So now we all sit at the end of the Gryffindor table. Draco is here because of Ginny. Blaise is here because of Draco. Luna is here because Blaise, me and Ginny.
"Can I have your attention please" McGonagall's voice echoes across the hall. She instantly get every students undivided attention. "Thank you. Now, there is once announcement I would like to make. First, we will be hosting a masqurade ball on Halloween night." She got cut off before she could finish as the hall filled with excited chatter. "Quiet!" McGonagall said sternly. The hall fell silent instantly. "Thank you, now I will give everyone a chance to go shopping in Hogsmeade for what ever you may need for the ball. Every other weekend, you may head to Hogsmeade. Also, the first through the fourth years may stay until ten. Everyone else is allowed to stay until two in the morning. That will be all, Thank you." With that, McGonagall stepped down and took her seat once more.
The excited chatter that everyone was holding back finally broke free and everyone started whispering happily about the ball coming up.
Harry turned to me, a nervous smile on his face. "Hermione," he started slowly. "Will you do me the honor of going to the ball with me?" He asked. I almost sqealed in delight. I thought that he was going to ask someone else. I noticed I hadn't said anything, I was just staring, I cleared my throut and gave a gaint smile.
"Yes, I would be honored." I said. Harry smiled broadly and pulled me into a giant hug.
"Hermione!" Ginny sqeals, "Me, you, and Luna are going dress shopping, this weekend. Please?" by now Ginny has scooted over and grabbed one of my wrists with both of her hands, her eyes pleading. Luna scooted over as well and grasped my other wrist with both of her hands from across the table.
They exchanged a look and then looked back at me with puppy dogs eyes that I couldn't resist. "Please?" They said in unison. I caved in and sighed.
"Okay, I will go shopping with you guys this weekend." Ginny and Luna both sqealed and Ginny gave me a giant hug as Luna came around the table and hugged me and Ginny. They let go and moved back to their respectful partners before we all packed up and headed to class as a group.
The weekend of dress shopping with the girls, came a little too fast for my liking. I had an hour before I had to meet Ginny and Luna in Hogsmeade. I sigh as I slip on my light denim shorts and olive graphic tee, one of the sleeves slipping of the sholders and a pair of wore out converse. A/N This part was dedicated to Jazzybizzle. You now what part you had in this. *Hint*Hint* Awakening:Trouble in New York A/N
I walk into the common room to find Harry sitting on the couch watching the fire instead of being out with Ron play Quittich or something. I walk around the couch and sit next to him, but a little further down. "Hi, Harry" I say eyeing him closely. "Are you okay?"
Harry's POV
I wake up with a small smile on my lips. I still couldn't believe that she had said yes to me. Today just happens to be Saturday so I think I am going to stay in for now. I sit up in bed and look around the common room. Ron is already gone, Hmm. Curious. He is never up on a Saturday before noon. Oh well, he is probably off somewhere snogging Lavender.
I sigh and get out of bed, grabbing some clothes and a towel. I head into the bathroom and turn on the shower, ridding myself of my clothes and stepping in, enjoying the feeling of my muscles relaxing.
I shut the water off and dress in a pair of dark blue jeans, a black graphic tee and and black, purple, and blue plaid converse.
I walk out into the common room and sit on the couch looking into the fire as I let my mind wonder off into different thoughts.
I am ecstatic that Hermione said she would go with me to the ball. I have been secretly crushing on her for 4 years now but I haven't had the nerve to tell her and I know that my feeling have progressively grown way out of my control. It is true, Hermione has grown from the bookworm to a beautiful young lady with soft caramel wavy lock, soft friendly chocolate brown eyes and an hourglass figure. Yes, she has become quiet attractive and I can't help but think about how beautiful she looks everytime I am around her. When I see her walk into a room or walk towards me I get butterflies in my stomach. Everytime I see her smile or laugh, my palms get sweaty and I get a lump in my throat. I can't help it, I just want to tell her my feelings but don't know where to start.
Just then I hear a pair of feet pad down the stairs and walk around the couch. Out of the corner of my eye I see Hermione sit down next to me on the couch, but at the end. I hate the distance but decide not to push my luck.
"Hi, Harry" she says. "Are you okay?" I look at her and can see her eyeing me, concern written all over her face.
"Hi, Mione. I'm fine." I fake a smile but her face shows she doesn't show that she doesn't believe me. She doesn't say anything but gives me a look that says 'we will talk about this later. I will find out' before she stands up.
"I gotta go meet the girls," she says and kisses my cheek before turning on her heel and strolling out of the portait hole. Merlin this is going to be a long year.
Hermione's POV
It is now October 31st. Everything has been going smoothly and I can't wait till the dance. I hear a serious of rapid knocks on my door and quickly make my way to the door, greeting Luna and Ginny and shutting the door behind the girls.
"Time to get ready!" Ginny says sqealing. "Okay, Mione you first." I sigh but sit down anyways. Luna starts on my hair as Ginny does my make up. Ten minutes later, I am slipping into my dress that I bought a couple of weeks ago. My dress has a sweet heart neck line and the top of the dress comes just above my breasts. The sholders are lace and it's fitted around the chest and stomach area, hugging my curves perfectly. It is ruffled around the stomach area and then falls loosely till just above the knee. It is a deep almost midnight puprle color. My hair is up in a messy bun with a few strands left to frame my face and a few strands hanging loose out of the bun. My make up is simple. Black eyeliner, dark purple eyeliner, nude lip gloss. I walk to my closet and pull out a pair of close toed heels that have a black, cork like heel and are midnight purple at the top, ending around my ankles.
Ginny is next. She sits down in the chair and me and Luna attack. I apply a silver eyeliner and black eyeliner that makes her eyes 'pop!' with some light pink tent to her lips. Luna pins some of Ginny's hair behind her ear, leaving a few strains to frame her face. Ginny steps into her black skirt that is fitted around the waist but hangs loosely around her legs and stops around five inches above the knee. It has little shapes in the bottom of the skirt and the very bottom has lace, about an inch. The inside is a black silk skirt that semi hugs her legs and the fitted part around her waist has belt loops. Ginny grabs a black and silver lace belt and slips through the loops before tying it in a bow on the left side of her skirt. She slips into a black and silver ruffled tank top and slips on a black, short sleeved jacket to cover the fact that it's a tank top. The top hugs her curves in all the right places and I can't help but grin at the giant smile that spreads across her face as she examines herself in the mirror. She pulls on a pair of silver heels to match, that make her legs look like they gone on for miles.
Luna's last. She slips into the chair and I do her make up while Ginny takes to her hair. Ginny puts her hair up into a high ponytail, again leaving a few peices to frame her face. I apply dark red eye shadow and black eyeliner with a dark red lip gloss. Luna's outfit is a black skirt that has dark red flowers around the bottom and vines from the flowers flowing and curving up to her waist. It hugs her waist then, like the others, flows out loosely around the legs and stops mid-thigh. The shirt is a dark red off-the-sholder, long sleeve shirt that has a band that slips around the middle finger of both hands. She grabs a black belt and straps it across her amdomn. The shirt fits her in all thr right places and the belt just aids in showing off her toned stomach. She tugs on a pair of black ballet flats for a finished effect.
I look at the clock, 6:50. The dance starts in ten minutes, we better get going.
"Okay girls," Ginny says clapping her hands together. "It's show time. Let's go blow those boys' minds." We walk out into the hallways and stopped right before the top of the stairs. We can hear the laughter of the boys down stairs, no doubt waiting on us. Ginny turns to Me and Luna and says "okay, I will go down first and then you Luna. We will save the best for last." She says, giving me a wink. Ginny walks to the top of the stairs and starts to decend. I hear gasps as she reaches the bottom, Luna following suit. She gets the same reaction from Blaise as she reaches the bottom. I take a deep breath and decend the stairs.
Harry's POV
Me, Blaise, and Draco are waiting at the bottom of the stairs for the girls.
"So Draco, what do you think Ginny will like when she come down?" Draco smirks and says, "She will look amazing."
"Blaise, same question but with Luna" Draco says with a smirk.
"She will look like a Princess." He replies. Both of them turn to me and I say, "She will look like a goddess."
"I just got an idea," Blaise says looking pleased. "We should sing to the girls tonight, I hear their is a kareoke session going on tonight."
Me and Draco break out into peals of laughter at the look on Zambini's face and finally after calming down, we nod as we hear the door upstairs open.
Ginny is the first one to decend and she gets a gasp out of Draco. She looks exactly like he said she would, amazing.
Luna is the next one to decend and she also looks like a princess, earning a gasp and jaw drop out Blaise. As Luna reaches the bottom of the stairs Ginny tuns to us and says, "Just wait until you she 'Mione." We all look to the stairs as she decends and my mouth goes dry while a lump forms in my throat. She looks like a goddess!
She decends the stairs and as she reaches the bottom, I walk up to her. "You look amazing 'Mione." I say with a goofy grin on my face. She laughs slightly.
"Thank you. I like the way you boys dresses. All in black suits except you a deep purple shirt and black tie, Blaise a dark red shirt and black tie, and Draco with a silver shirt and black tie."
"Thanks 'Mione! Shall we go?" I ask, holding my arm at for her to take.
"That we shall," she says taking my arm.
We (Me, 'Mione, Ginny, Draco, Luna, and Blaise) walk to the Great Hall, talking and laughing amoungst ourselves. We reach the Great Hall and get in a line. After putting our mask in place, Draco and Ginny go first, strolling into the Hall with Blaise and Luna and Me and 'Mione following suit. The pack of six never realizing a pair of blue very jealous eyes staring directly at Hermione.
Love you Jazz! Let me know what you think?
