"You are the music in me.
Yeah"
"Everyone, give around of applause for Luna Lovegood and Ron Weasley," said Ginny "for that wonderful song. Although, Luna sang ten times better than my half-witted brother."
"Hey!" There was a few laughs heard throughout the crowd.
It was the Valentine's Dance and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Couples were at the refreshments table, people were trying to get hooked up, and others were just standing off to the side having side conversations with their friends.
"Now in a few moments," Blaise said.
"We're gonna have another two people sing and they shall be singing two songs for us." Ginny said.
"And I'm pretty sure you know who these two are."
"But that won't happen until we get that other person here." Ginny said, finishing off Blaise's sentence.
"Right now, we'll be taking a break." Blaise said. "We'll be back in a few."
Ginny and Blaise walked off the staged and out of the Great Hall were only a few people were talking. Both of them were announcers for "Mystery Karaoke" at the dance. They had to ask Dumbledore if he would let them, to which he gladly accepted. He even stated, "It's the most brilliant idea ever." which gave them his approval.
"Where's Hermione?" exclaimed Blaise.
"I don't know. She was supposed to be here when the dance started." Ginny said. "I'm going to go chack the Head Dorms. She's mostly likely to be there."
"Okay then. I'll just be with Draco. Just make sure she gets here in ten minutes. I've got feeling that he's just going to forget about it. It's like he always says, "Malfoy's never wait for anyone." Blaise declared in his Draco-like voice.
Ginny giggled. "Well, I'm off to find her. See'ya." And she ran off.
Blaise said, "See'ya." though she was already to far off to hear. He watched as her distant figure turned right and disappeared. "Maybe this plan will work out." he said to himself, not thinking about Hermione or Draco, but thinking about a particular red head.
Hermione was in her room pacing. She was only wearing a shower robe over her and her hair was already up. She just needed to put on her dress, but she was too worried about something or another.
There was a knock on her door, and Hermione stopped pacing. "Who is it?"
"It's Ginny."
Hermione walked over to her door and opened it to see an angry and worried expression on her face.
"Hermione, you were supposed to be down in the last fifteen minutes. What happened?" Ginny said worriedly.
She looked at Ginny. "I'm just nervous. I mean sure I'll just be singing with just some random person in the crowd, but I'd feel like I'm singing to him. What if I end up looking at him while I'm singing and I didn't even mean to."
Ginny softly smiled at her. "Does this happen to be the very same person that you keep talking about when you have your tantrums?"
Hermione didn't say anything, but gave a small, shy smile.
"Oh, Hermione! You're in love!" exclaimed Ginny.
"But this is what worries me, Ginny. How could I be in love with him." Hermione said in a worried voice. "He's such an arrogant prat and yet there are moments where we would laugh over the stupidest things. We're so different."
"And yet you two are just the same." Ginny said in a matter-of-fact voice. Hermione just looked at her questionly, so Ginny continued. "You two are smart. Hell, his grades are just right below yours by one point. You guys can carry on an arguement forever with those smart remarks you guys yell at each other. If you guys were to argue with someone else, you know you would win knowing that you would just leave them speechless.
Plus, at meal times, don't think that I haven't notice those looks you guys would send to each other. You guys have the most messed up relationship that it could just confuse someone whether if it's love or just lust. I know for sure it is love."
Hermione looked at Ginny with surprise. There was no mistake that Ginny is right.
Hermione sighed. "I guess you're right. I'm going to get ready."
Ginny gave her a hug and smiled at her. "Hermione, you'll do great. Don't worry about it. Now hurry up. I'll be waiting in the common room."
She walked over to the door and opened it. Before she closed the door behind her, she heard Hermione say a "Thank you." She looked over her shoulder and gave her one of her brightest smiles and left.
Blaise watched Draco with amusement as he watched him pace back and forth. He knew that he wouldn't be able to wait for who ever he was suppose to be singing with. He kept asking Blaise who it was, but his response was always, "I don't know." which made Draco suspect that he does know.
"Dray. Cool it and just wait. I'm sure they'll be here any second."
"Well, who ever they are, they better hurry up. They should know not to keep a Malfoy waiting." Draco said in an impatient tone, stressing out the word 'not'.
The doors opened and Blaise and Draco looked up only to see Ginny walk in. They didn't notice that she wasn't alone until some said aloud, "She's so beautiful!" Draco looked at the doorway to she a princess-like girl walk in. The crowd grew silent as they watched her intently, afraid that she would disappear right before their very eyes. Girl's envied her for her looks, especially for her dress since they were wearing dress robes and their dates looked at her longing, thinking between the lines of 'Where have you been all my life.'
Draco looked at her, watching her form move through the crowd with ease. It was as if he was trying to memorize every part of her. Her white dress hugged her every curve in the right places, her heels gave her the sense of surperior-ness, and her make-up gave her an angelic look on her face.
He looked at her soft, inviting lips, wanting to kiss right there. He watched as her delicate, well-toned legs move as her hips swayed with ease, wanting to hold her. Own her.
The Great Hall doors opened again and Pansy and Millicent walked in, making their grand entrance.
"We're here!" they said at the same time, but everyone was ignoring them. The two Slytherins looked to see who everyone was looking at to see a girl getting all the attention. The both got angry and with a scoff, they left.
Then someone in the crowd broke the silence that filled the air.
"Isn't that Hermione Granger?"
Whispers broke out throughout the crowd.
"That's Hermione Granger?"
"That is her."
"She's so beautiful."
"She looks like Cinderilla."
"She's like a princess."
"I wish I was her."
"Where did she get that dress? It so beautiful."
Everyone just looked at her with awe and it made Draco more jealous. He watched as a guy walked up to her and asked her to be his girlfriend.
'The nerve of him. He bloody doesn't even know her. He's on the top of 'Who to Kill' list.'
Draco watched as Hermione declined the offer, which made him smile as the guy sadly walked off, but then grew angry once more as more guys walked up to her.
Blaise watched Draco with a smirk, and knowing Draco, he was probably going to have a little talk with each and every one of them. If they keep coming up to her, it's going to be more than just a talk. Blaise looked up at the stage to see Ginny smirking as she watched the Hermione get crowded with guys. She looked directly at Blaise, staring into his eyes for a long moment, then gave him a movement telling him that it was time to continue the show.
Blaise hurriedly jogged up the stairs and stood beside Ginny. A bit too close then what was needed, but she didn't care and just smiled to herself. Ginny cleared her throat and spoke.
"Now it's time to continue 'Mystery Karaoke'."
The audience got quiet and waited for them to continue.
"Now like what we said before." started Blaise. "We're going to have another couple sing for us tonight."
"And those people are." Ginny pause, making it dramatic. "Draco Malfoy and the lovely Hermione Granger!"
"WHAT?!"
Those were the only words that echoed through the silent hall. Ginny and Blaise only smiled at their companions, while Harry and Ron's eyes grew big.
Haha! How was that? Did you like it? Did you hate it? Give me your thoughts. Review!
