Hermione led Ron by the hand through the throng of the people clubbing. The music was loud and the person so close together Ron felt like it was never going to end.
Hermione finally stopped in a tiny circular table in the second level of the club. "Finally, and empty table!" She said screaming at the top of her lungs, even though she could barely be heard because of the loud music playing in the background.
"Hermione, don't you want to go somewhere quieter?!" Ron asked trying to do the same.
"But Ron, don't you think this is fun?!"
"Hermione-"
She knew that he was going to protest so she took his hand again and led his once again through the crowed.
But instead of heading for the door, she led his to the dance floor.
"Let's dance!" She said, moving to the music.
Ron finally gave up. Even though he wanted to spend quality time with her, he knew that thid time was all he was going to get, for tonight anyway.
Ron finally came loose and started to enjoy himself. He was surprised at how well Hermione knew how to dace. Soon the music became much sultrier than when they had fist started.
Soon after Ron felt a tap on his shoulder. Thinking that he had stepped or bumped onto someone he turned around to apologize.
To his immense surprise, it was Lavender Brown smiling from ear to ear. "Hi Ron, I haven't seen in quite a while, how have you been?!"
Ron stopped immediately. Hermione was wondering why Ron stopped and she asked, "Ron is something the matter?" She walked up next to Ron to see what he was looking at and stared.
"Lavender?!" Hermione couldn't believe it. The music and people around them
seemed to go on 'mute' all of a sudden. Why
does this always happen to me? She thought heartbroken. Ron
is probably going to leave me for her. He'll
probably figure out that she's a better dancer and better date than
I am.
Lavender
turned to see who called out her name. If it took Lavender by
surprise to see Hermione there with Ron she knew how to hide it very
well.
"Oh, hi Hermione, nice to see you too." She
said in a monotone, looking at Hermione as if she wasn't worth
speaking to. She tuned back to Ron in a completely different light. "So people in the office tell me that
you're about to become
an Auror. Is that true?"
"Yes, it is." Ron answered, taking a step back to stand next to Hermione.
Hermione looked at him for a moment and smiled. 'He's taking my side. She thought happily.
"Congrats, maybe you can take me out that day to celebrate." Lavender said flirtatiously.
"Sorry Lavender, but when it happens I'm going to spend the night with my family and friends." He said, putting his arm around Hermione the latter was ecstatic.
"Oh." She said, as if it was nothing. "Then maybe some other time then. Aren't you going to ask what I've been doing recently?"
"I would but I'm out with Hermione right now, so I think it would be wrong if I start a conversation with another girl when I'm supposed to be with another. Don't you think?" He said, not trying insult Lavender but still letting her know that he didn't care for her.
"Oh." This time she sounded pissed off. "I see, well I'll leave you then. We don't want to leave Hermione to turn into a wallflower." She tuned on her heel turned and grabbed a guy that was sitting in a nearby table and dragged him further into the dance floor.
"Thank Merlin she got the hint." Ron said under his breath; he tuned towards Hermione with a whole different light.
"Do you want to keep dancing, get a drink…?"
"You know what? I think I want to go home. It's already two in the morning anyway." Hermione said, thinking that it was time to call it a night.
"Look if Lavender put-"
"No Ron, I just realized that I'm exhausted and that I should not have forced you to bring me here tonight. I'm so sorry."
"It's ok, I didn't mind, I needed the release I guess." He smiled.
Hermione sneaked into the flat not wanting to quake Ginny up, this was because she knew that Ginny was going to want information but she just headed towards her room and let herself fall. Soon she was in a deep slumber.
She forgot though to close the window, as the wind slowly flew into the room so did a barn owl. It dropped a letter next to the sleeping Hermione and flew out the same way it had come in…
