It was the day Hermione was due to film her routine for the movie. She'd spent an hour and a half in hair and make up. She was set to warm up now Draco would only be there for her to warm up and go through the moves with her once before the director took over. This was the biggest production she'd ever been in and she was slightly nervous.
After she'd gone through warming up Draco did something completely out of character, he kissed her and said to her, "You can do this sweetheart." After that moment of tenderness he was back in coach mode telling her to reach higher and be more dramatic with her facial expressions.
Hermione thought she nailed it. Draco did too though he didn't say as much he gave her a "Well done" and she was passed over to the director and they discussed very little.
She went through the routine with no music, the music would be added during the editing process so it was tricky to get the timing spot on. They filmed the whole routine all the way through with Hermione sticking her stunts with perfection and striking all the right poses. After she finished at struck her final pose the director yelled, "Cut!"
He congratulated her on a job well done and asked if she would go through again so they could different camera angles and she obliged.
Overall it was a long day of filming. She was there for eight hours before the director was finally satisfied with the material they had gotten. He thanked her and said she had a bright future ahead of her as a dancer.
Hermione blushed at the complement and thanked him for the opportunity to film with him.
It was about seven at night when she finally got back to the flat she and Draco shared.
She came home to a simple but much needed meal of spaghetti and meatballs. Draco wasn't a master chef and he only cooked for her on special occasions. She found him in the kitchen and wrapped her arms tightly around his muscled torso.
"How did it go honey?" Draco asked without turning around.
"Fairly well it's a lot different than dancing in competition or on stage. I did the routine what felt like a million times. I'm exhausted and I need to get this makeup off me." Hermione sighed and nuzzled into Draco's neck.
"Let's eat then we can clean up and go to bed."
Hermione released her hold on him and walked with him to the table and dug into her dinner. They talked more about Hermione's experience filming that day and Draco admitted that he'd missed training with her that day.
They rinsed their plates in the sink and left the dishes for morning. Hermione went upstairs to clean up and Draco wasn't far behind her.
They got into bed and Draco pulled Hermione into his arms and they stayed like that until the next morning.
Hermione loved to dance, but she loved Draco just as much some days more.
The sunlight peered in through their curtains and a new day greeted them and Hermione whispered into Draco's ear, "I love to dance but I live to love you."
