Theo knew everyone was staring as they walked into the rebuilt Great Hall. He held his head high as he walked, his date keeping step with him. It was obvious everyone was staring at them. How could they not? He had the most beautiful witch on his arm, the one witch that everyone should have been fighting over to begin with, it was only now that they realized just how amazing she truly was.
After the war was won, after the school was rebuilt, after it all, someone had decided a dance to show house unity was the best idea. Theo hasn't argued with that point. He agreed some unity was a good idea, after all, they'd been separated by their houses long enough.
Because of this, because everyone was encouraged to talk to each other, regardless of house, he'd done the one thing no one would have thought he'd had the courage to do. He'd asked Hermione Granger to be his date to the unity dance. He'd known Ron was planning to ask her, but he'd asked before Ron had a chance to stutter out the words, to remember that Hermione was in fact the most beautiful witch in the school.
That fact was never lost on Theo. He'd always seen her beauty, seen the way her eyes lit up when she smiled. Now, she graced his arm, smiling at everyone they passed. Her light blue dress sparkled as they walked, matching Theo's tie.
He wondered if the stares were getting to her, but if they were, she wasn't letting on. Instead, she only had eyes for Theo. Let everyone stare. Theo had found his courage and he'd found the witch he hoped to one day marry, if she would have him. For now, though, he was happy to just have her dancing with him in front of everyone.
