She lay in bed thinking. About him, would he ever really see her? As Hermione, not just one of the lads, not as the small bossy girl with the mousy brown hair that he first met on the Hogwarts Express?
Maybe after tonight, she had Ginny help her pick out the perfect dress in Hogsmeade, a long, deep blue, silky number, that clung to every curve. It wasn't what she usually wore but Ginny persuaded her. Tonight she would be perfect, and maybe he'd look into her eyes, and truly see her, for the first time in her life.
Her hair had been piled upon the top of her hair by an expert Ginny, and her makeup was done to perfection. As the clock chimed seven they made to leave the common room.
'Ginny, tell you what, I'll meet you down there, I've just forgotten something, okay?'
'Alright 'Mione but you better hurry up 'cause we're late already'
She raced back up to the dorm room and dived into her trunk, searching, she threw everything onto her bed unitll she found it. A little red box, one that she'd seen her mother slip in, but forgot to open. She undid the little silver ribbon and lifted off the top, gasping she unravelled the most beautiful pair of earring she had ever seen, tiny silver snowflakes encrusted with minuscule gems. She slipped them in and ran down the stairs. Her fingers crossed for what would hopefully be a perfect night.
The Entrance hall was packed with people, she scanned the room searching for that familiar ginger hair.
Then suddenly a gasp spread around the crowd just as she caught sight of him. Oblivious to the whole room Hermione Granger locked eyes with the one she loved. A small smile danced around her lips as she saw the spark of recognition.
Bloody hell.
She's beautiful!
How did that happen?
Slowly she made her way down to the pair, the seas of people flowing away creating a channel for her to walk through. There he was tall, his chest and arms toned from quidditch, his mop of ginger hung casually over his electric blue eyes.
'Hey Hermione' his lips pulled up into a little smile.
'Wanna go in?'
And she was hooked.
Okay so next chapter :)
