Dancing away with my heart…- Harry and Hermione.

'I finally asked you to dance…

I can still feel my head on your shoulders and hoping that song would never be over…

To me, you'll always be 18 and beautiful and dancing away with my heart

I can still feel you leaning to kiss me. I can't help but wonder if you ever miss me?

I guess I didn't realise that in that moment, we'd lost so much

For me, you'll always be 18

Away with my heart'

Hermione Granger sat in her kitchen, watching Rosie and Hugo as they slept. She and Ron had divorced the year before and they shared custody of the children. She knew that Ron was staying with Harry. Ginny had passed away about a year before and it had been that, any other factors, which had led to Hermione and Ron's divorce. Hermione had always loved Ron, but she had given up on the chance of ever being with him and had been surprised when they had kissed during the Battle of Hogwarts. Now, she looked back at it, they had believed that they were about to die, so neither of them had stopped and thought about the consequences.

In her wildest dreams, Hermione would never have imagined that she'd be where she was now.

It was coming up to Christmas and suddenly a song came onto the radio; one which she had heard for years.

A flood of memories came back to and she let herself be lost in them. She and Harry had danced to this song, when they had been alone at Christmas in their 7th year at Hogwarts. As the memories washed over her, Hermione, for the first time, became aware of what her feelings for Harry had been in the moment; they had always been best friends, but there had always been the potential for something more. But both of them had been too scared to think about it. Hermione knew that Harry had felt the same way and wondered if he still did.

As Hermione ran their dance through her heads, there was one defining moment which stood out. At the end the song, they had stopped dancing and looked at each other and their faces had been very close.

Why did I not take that chance? Hermione thought to herself, sadly. Why didn't I take that chance, because he felt the same way?

Sitting there, all she was left with was the regret that she had not been brave enough to take that chance with Harry, as she knew that a part of her would always love him.

All she was left with was regrets. She remembered the way they had danced placing their heads on each other's shoulders, completely comfortable with each other. And she remembered, at the end of the song, the way Harry's eyes had searched her, as if wondering if he should kiss her or not.

It was only now that Hermione realised that that moment of hesitation had lost her so much. If only she had followed her instincts.
