Midnight Dances

Hermione grinned mischievously at Ginny. The two of them were practicing dueling. They were only firing harmless spells and jinxes, but Hermione was having a blast.

Ginny sent a bat boogey hex at Hermione, but she quickly blocked it. "That's not fair love!"

Ginny grinned. "It's my trademarked spell, of course I had to use it!"

Hermione pointed her wand at the redhead. "Tarantallegra!" she shouted.

Ginny moved to block it, but was too late. The green light crashed into her, causing her to stumble backwards. "Hermione!" she shouted, her face bright red.

At once Ginny's legs began to dance uncontrollably! She tried to fight it, but couldn't.

Hermione started to laugh at the sight of her girlfriend moving around the room to a silent beat.

"This isn't funny!" Ginny cried. She was now tap dancing, although she had no idea how to tap dance.

"Ginny, this is the funniest thing I've ever seen," Hermione managed to get out between laughs. Her stomach hurt from laughing so hard.

But after a few moments, Hermione flicked her wand, ending the spell on Ginny. The redhead launched herself at Hermione, knocking her back to the floor.

"That wasn't funny!" Ginny said, her face bright red.

"It was hilarious!" Hermione countered. "You're just mad I thought of it first."

Ginny pouted for a moment before standing up. "Well you know Hermione, if you wanted to see me dance, you should have just asked."

She blushed. Getting to her feet, she held her hand out to her. "May I have this dance?" she asked, battering her eyelashes.

Ginny grinned. "Anything for you my dear." She placed her hand into Hermione's, moving closer. The Room of Requirement sensed their needs and changed the room into a ballroom, which soft music in the background.

Laughing, Hermione and Ginny swayed across the floor, dancing in time to the beat.

"I love you," Ginny murmured, nuzzling her face in Hermione's neck.

Hermione squeezed her. "I love you too."

The two of them continued to dance, holding onto each other. They stared in the Room of Requirement becaue it was the only place where they were truly free. The outside world was dangerous, with the War going on and everything… no one would understand.

So they danced in secret, allowing their love to blossom and bloom during the night.
