Hermione walked into the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom to see Severus buried into grading essays. Hermione smiled as Severus looked up and saw her standing in the doorway. She was dressed in a beautiful white dress suit the resembled Severus' black suit, along with red cape resemble Severus long dark green one. He stood up, his cloak billowing behind him, as he walked over to her and took his hand placing a kiss on them.
Tonight was the annual Christmas ball at Hogwarts, an event that Severus would normally never attend. But ever since Hermione took after Transfiguration and Head of Gryffindor house this year, this will be the first time Severus ever went.
He placed his arm for her to take and they walked down to the Great Hall. Students locked eyes on their Professors as they walked by them, and Severus led Hermione in the Great Hall. The room look like a giant Christmas card, the ceiling was bewitch to make it lightly snow, the walls and tables look like they were made of ice.
Once the music began, Severus swept her off her feet, as they danced around to the music. Few students and teachers including Headmistress McGonagall smiled, as they watched the couple glide around and room, it was like the two are professionals. Yet Severus and Hermione were oblivious to the fact that they were being watch, their undivided attend rest squarely on each other, as they glided their way around the room.
After they danced for a good hour or more, they walked over to get some punch and took a seat at a empty table.
"Thanks, Severus this is a lovely night so far," Hermione smiled placing her hand in his, Severus smiled back to her.
"You look stunning," Severus whispered into her ear while he messages her hand, making her blush as he beings to sing to her.
"Good King Wenceslas looked out on the feast of Stephen
When the snow lay round about deep and crisp and even
Brightly shone the moon that night though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight gathering winter fuel."
Hermione lead in and pressed her lips against his, "Merry Christmas Severus."
"And to you as well, Hermione," Severus kissed Hermione on her lips before leading her out to the dance floor.
