Dancing In the Rain

Chapter One: Perfection

The lazy summer days were lingering on in the last weeks before school. Her golden brown hair surrounded her face as she sat, silently in the lawn, reading. It was serene, that lovely august afternoon and the cool breeze kept her content as she flipped comfortably through her book.

I just love that woman. She just sat there, oblivious to the world. I just sat by the window, watching her. I love her. I wanted to scream it to the rooftops. I LOVE HER! I wanted heaven to hear, I wanted her to hear. I wanted her to know that I'd give up everything to be next to her. I'd give up my life just to sit by her. I'd give anything. I'd give her all that she wanted. I'd give her my life, she had something of mine that I know I'll never be able to get. She had my heart. She didn't know it. But she had.

I started walking downstairs hoping to find something to eat. I was always hungry, I knew that, but it wasn't only for food. I also hungered for her, my Hermione. I looked through the back door, she was still there sitting with her back against the Willow tree. I wouldn't be surprised to see a halo around that angelic picture. I knew that Hermione was an angel. She was my Angel. If I was to describe her in one word, it would be impossible. She was Perfection. Angelic. Beautiful. Caring. Kind. Hermione. If I was to describe my situation in one word that would be easy. Hopeless.

I've tried telling her, but then I'd chicken out. I remember all the times she'd kiss my cheek. I remember everything. She became my one and only weakness. I was more scared of losing her than spiders. I was nothing without Hermione. I got one of Ginny's fortune gumballs and read the fortune. Take a chance. Take a chance. Is that what I'm supposed to do? Is this what I want to do? All I know is that I want Hermione. I love Hermione.

I walked out towards the dazzling light the emitted from her. I walked in that perfect summer day and sat next to her. Under the Willow tree, hearing the wind whisper, seeing the lake twinkle. This was what I call perfection. Especially since I was next to her, I could feel her. Her hair touching my body. Her delicate hands inches away from me.

"Hey Ron." - She said not even looking at me. She just knew it was me.

"How'd you know it was me?" - I asked.

"Because I do."

"What are you reading?" - I asked. As if I needed too.

"Hogwarts--" She started.

"Wait forget it I know. Hogwarts A History." - I said smirking.

Then she hit me with a book.

"Hey! OW."- I said. As she stuck out her tongue at me. I started tickling her.

"RONALD!!!" - She said.

"Stop. [laughs] Please [laughs] Stop." - She said.

"Hmm. No." - I said, as I continued tickling her.

"Ronald. Let me go!" - She said in-between laughs. She started squirming.

"Say it nicely." - I said. Grinning.

"Please Ronniekins! Please! With chocolate frogs on top." - She said.

"Oh alright ." - I let her go. I lay down the grass next to her. My hand under her. Our bodies touching. Her hair mixing with mine. Her head next to me.

She turned to me. Whispering in my ear. I felt her warm breath. It made me all tingly.

"What does that cloud look like?" - she asked me.

Hmm." - I said looking at the cloud she was pointing at.

"I think it looks like a fluffy piece of cotton. Makes me wanna grab it and eat it." - I replied. Holding her closer to me.

"Hmm." - I heard her murmur.

"Or well it also looks like, blimey it looks like a quaffle." - I replied.

I didn't notice it but my fingers were running through her hair. I was about to turn red and take my fingers away when I realized that her head was in my chest and her arms wrapped around me. She was sleeping. I wrapped one of my arms around her and kissed her head. I smelled her hair. It smelled like Hermione. It smelled like life. It smelled like summer. it smelled like freedom. It was perfect, just like her. For a second I thought it was a dream. For a second there I didn't think it was real. But when my arms were wrapped around her. Her head in my chest. Her steady breathing. I knew it was real. When I felt her heart beat against me. I knew that it was real.

I lay down there for a few more seconds. Looking at her. Breathing her in. I felt her breathing. I felt her. I felt her energy radiating to me. The birds we're singing. The Willow Tree was swaying. Oliver and Ginny were having a staring contest. Fred and Angelina were playing tag. Lee and Katie were on the swing. Alicia and George we're taking a dip in the cool lake water. Harry was flying around. Mum was cooking for the barbeque. Percy was even outside, doing his work, but at least he was in the dazzling sunlight, the warmth of the summer, out in nature. Hearing the swift movements of the breeze. Pig zooming around. Bill and Charlie we're playing wizards cheese without any clue on playing it. Charlie was just about to get Bill's queen when Fred ran over the chess board ruining the game. Charlie chased after him along with Angelina. Then he jumped in the lake. Fred I mean.

This was summer. This day was perfect. This day is perfect. What else could I ask for? Hermione was with me. She was in my arms. I could feel her steady heart, beating. My heart following her rhythm, beating like hers. These were the days that really count. The last thing on my mind before I dozed off to dreamland was like always, her. My Hermione. The only girl I'll ever love. The only girl I've ever loved. The only girl that captured my heart without doing anything. My Hermione, My one and only.
