I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER. Only the plot and people you don't recognize
Hermione knew that it was because of earlier in potions, and that fact that he was still trying to keep up with the facade, that he was acting like nothing was there. And she didn't like it. But she would just have to knock it out of him. But it could go to ways. Either he would start being the Draco Malfoy she really knew and she'd live, or else he wouldn't care and she would be in the hospital wing for a few weeks with a couple broken bones or something. Here goes. The next moment, she was spinning, and then, like that, she turned and ran back, then, with such quickness, she ran back and jumped, and she closed her eyes, waiting to hit the ground, but he had caught her, and when she looked in his eyes, she saw it. Love, passion, everything. But the dance wasn't over yet. No, they still had more. And they thought the same thing, 'screw the basics', smiled, and danced their tango. The last step taken, they stood, breathless in each others arms.
Draco couldn't hold it anymore. He leaned down, ever so softly, kissed her, and then pulled back and smiled. Then, like a trans breaking, they heard loud gasps and whispered and turned toward the other students. Hermione's eyes went wide and she blushed before burying her head in Draco's shirt. "Oh God. Kill me now." Draco chuckled and Alan, Asha, Leo, Payton, Jake, Brittany, Matt, and Sarah ran out to the floor, laughing and smiling. "You guys, I swear, every time you dance you get better. I wish I could do the tango like you!" Asha was ranting and everyone laughed. But then, the sound of a throat clearing made them turn their attention back to the other students.
"Anyone mind telling us what's going on?" Guilt shown in Hermione's eyes and she looked away, but Draco just held her closer and glared at Ron and Harry. "Well, if you can't see, I just danced with the tango with my girlfriend. Gee, Potter, I never knew you were that stupid." His face turned red, and quick as silver, Hermione was between them, no longer seeming to care about what people thought of her. "That's enough. Draco, shut up and stop. We agreed that if this happened, we would try and work it out. And you Harry, you need to calm down." But before she could get anything else out, he interrupted her, yelling. "Calm down! Hermione, you were just dancing with the enemy! The real enemy! He's a death eaters son! He's been against us this whole time! He's tortured you, called you names, and treated you like dirt beneath his shoes! And you're dancing with him! And you kissed him! What did he do!" He took a hold of her arm and pulled her to him.
"Harry! Harry, he didn't do anything! It's me! It's Hermione Granger! The Hermione Granger you've known since first year when you met me on the train! It's me!" She calmed down a little, and her face had turned into sorrow. "And Draco's not the son of a Death Eater. Lucius, he's not a death eater, no more then Snape. It's all been an act. I've known him since we were nine Harry, nine. He's my friend, dance partner, and lover. What you see, it's not the real him. I know the real him, and you know the real me. Please." It wasn't really begging. It was more like pleading for them to see the truth. He pushed her away, fire burning in his eyes. "No Hermione, I don't know they real you. The Hermione I know is my friend and would never betray me." He turned. It took all the strength she had not to crumble right then and there, but she didn't. She held her head high as he walked back to the others. Some looked at her with hatred, some with sorrow. But all of it held rejection.
"Ok, I want everyone to the floor. Now!" Everyone got up and scrambled to get on the floor and the ten walked off to the corner, where a bunch of chairs were set up. As Davis lined them up for partners, they sat in watched, Hermione with tears filling her eyes. "I just don't understand. I can see why they would be mad, but I'm their friend! They should trust me!" Sarah put an arm around her shoulder and squeezed, comforting her. "Well, if you ask me, I don't think they're real friends if they won't listen to you. A real friend will always trust you and listen, no matter what." Then, Alan leaned in. "Yeah, so cheer up girl. If not you, then who's going to fall on her arse and make us laugh?" She laughed out a sob and smiled. "I just can't swim in my sorrow with you guys around can I?" They all laughed and started talking as they watched Davis try to help everyone get into proper stance, but gave up, shaking his head.
"I see you're feeling better. I'm sorry about what they said." She waved it away and smiled as he continued. "Now, you guys know everything I'm going to teach them. Well, heck, you could teach them if need be and need come. But, what you guys are going to do. Ok, I'm going to enlarge the room and I'm going to put a glass wall and door to separate them. The other side will be yours. I want you to come in and stretch and warm-up everyday. Now, you guys can choose what you want to do, but make sure to change it around. And if you do need me, I'll be over here. Now, I think you guys should just have the rest of the off and relax, ok? Now, go have fun!" They smiled and the girls each kissed his cheek before grabbing all their stuff and left.
Out by the lake, all the girls sat on their respective guy as the looked out onto the lake, all lost within their own thoughts. "Do you ya'll think it's going to be different this year? You know, with all the dancing? We get to really dance!" Payton shrugged as she looked over at Brittany. "Maybe. I mean, everyone knows now, or will know by dinner. Are we really ready for that. And what if Davis wants us to compete this year? We've never done that during school, like real school. It's always been in the summer or long breaks. Would he really do that?" They all knew the answer. Yes. But they would be fine with it if it came down to choosing. But they couldn't talk more on it, because soon, the school bell rang and it was time for next class, which was transfiguration. But they all knew one thing. No matter what this year held, they would go through it together.
-Well, that's my second chapter. I know it's not as good as the first, but it was hard trying to figurre out a way that everyone could find out. But this isn't all. There will still be a bit of that in the third. Just give me a little time! And to my lovely reviews, thanks! Thanks for the advice and you guys will just have to wait to see what happens! And it will be soon!
