Enchanted
"There I was again tonight,
Forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old, tired, lonely place"
She was at another boring ministry function, again. She wasn't even sure what it was for.
"Walls of insincerity,
Shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face"
Then he walked in. Her eyes traced over his sharp, defined features, the softer curve of his full lips, his platinum blond hair, the fringe just falling in his stormy gray eyes, swirling with mystery, his long lean body, the way his dark gray suit contrasted beautifully with his pale complexion. Perfection.
He was immediately drawn to her, as if there was a magnetic pull, forcing his eyes, dragging them. He was shocked by her astounding beauty. Her dark chocolate brown curls falling to her waist, her petite curves, her deep brown eyes swirled with gold and so many emotions he couldn't begin to name them, her small features, like that of a woodland fairy, her luscious, full, dark pink lips. Perfection.
"All I can say is, it was enchanting to meet you.
You're eyes whispered 'Have we met?'
He couldn't ever remember seeing this lovely creature back at school. He couldn't even remember his name.
She had never seen such perfection, ever in her life. He made every problem disappear.
"Crossed the room, your silhouette,
Starts to make its way to me.
The playful conversation starts,
Counter all your quick remarks,
Like passing notes in secrecy"
Neither could one up the other. Their intelligence was equal, which was something they were not used to. Every little aside was quickly matched.
"And it was enchanting to meet you,
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you."
Music started to play. His entire demeanor switched, from light and humorous to solemn and mysterious. He wordlessly extended a hand, an invitation. She took it, he led her out to the middle of the dance floor and pulled her close.
Her scent was overpowering, intoxicating. His was all consuming, exhilarating.
"This night is sparkling,
Don't you let it go,
I'm wonderstruck,
Blushing all the way home"
All too soon the night was over. Both reluctantly departed thinking the same thing.
"I'll spend forever wondering if you knew,
I was enchanted to meet you.
The lingering question kept me up,
2 AM, who do you love
I wonder till I'm wide awake
And now I'm pacing back and forth"
He had to see her, but he didn't know who she was. Then the obvious dawned on him. Who was the only one who could ever keep up with his wit? The smartest witch of their age. Hermione Granger.
"Wishing you were at my door"
Knock, Knock.
"I'd open up and you would say 'Hey',
It was enchanting to meet you
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you."
"Draco."
"Hermione."
"This night is sparkling,
Don't you let it go,
I'm wonderstruck,
Blushing all the way home.
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew, ooh
This night is flawless,
Don't you let it go,
I'm wonderstruck
Dancing around all alone,
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew,
I was enchanted to meet you.
"When I met you I was… I was…"
"Enchanted."
"Enchanted."
