Chapter 7: Halloween Ball- Part 2
Malfoy had to sneak into the castle without being seen and down to the Slytherin common room to get ready for the ball. You see, he wasn't about to get caught doing something against school rules. Lavender and Ron were going to be going as Dracula and Dracula's wife. Harry and Hermione just had to laugh at the site of the two of them walking, hand in hand, down the marble staircase. "Oh, my, god. Look at those two Harry! Don't they just look hilarious? I bet Lavender made Ron wear that costume because I don't think he'd ever pick that himself." "Yeah, really. For as long as I've known Ron, he'd never, ever, pick that without someone's help." They shared a moment of laughter as they finished watching Lavender and Ron walk down the stairs. "Hey guys. What's so funny?" Ron asked once he and Lavender had reached them, still laughing. "Oh, nothing, nothing at all," Hermione lied. They only had to wait about 5 more minutes until Professor McGonagall made her way to the front of the large crowd so as to make an announcement before she opened the door to let everyone inside the Great Hall. "Attention, attention everyone." All of the students fell silent. "I'd like to announce to everyone that Professor Snape and Professor Lupin have fallen ill so they will not be attending tonight. Also, you will be allowed out onto the grounds but, only as long as you stay on the paths we have marked so as not to loose anyone. That is all." As Professor McGonagall opened the great, oak, doors she shouted over the noise, "Let the Ball begin!!!!" Everyone rushed into the Great Hall at once and had difficulty getting through the door. Hermione, Harry, Lavender, Ron, Chloe, and Aaron found a nice corner where they could congregate and dance where no one would be able to hear them. As Harry and Hermione were dancing near the corner, further from the rest of them Harry finally spoke important words to Hermione. "Hermione, darling, would you like to go for a walk outside? I have to talk to you in private where no one will be able to eaves drop." "Sure hun." Hand in hand, they walked out of the doors of the entrance hall onto the moonlit grounds under the starry sky. Harry lead Hermione over to the rose garden the teachers had set up over to the right of the door. It was there where Harry planed to present Hermione the ring and ask her to marry him over the summer. Meanwhile, back in the Great Hall, Malfoy was rethinking his plan to destroy the evening for everyone. You see, Malfoy seemed to be getting a softer heart and was beginning to not want to destroy the evening. Especially since Pansy Parkensins seemed to be enjoying herself. See Pansy had changed a lot since the last year. She was a lot thinner and more beautiful than ever. Malfoy had developed a crush on her and didn't want to ruin her evening she was having. Although, she didn't seem to have a dance partner so Malfoy decided against his plot to ruin everything and ask Pansy to dance with him. Hermione and Harry sat on a baby blue bench in the rose garden under the starlit sky, just gazing up into the endlessness of space. It was then that Harry spoke. "Um, Hermione." "Yes Harry?" And his speech began. "Hermione, you know that I love you very much and I have since the day I met you. That day when I first saw you on the Hogwarts Express. I was pleased to find out that we were both placed in Gryffindor house and that we would be spending all of our class time together. I knew that it was true love at first site and I was extremely excited when we became friends. Of course, Ron was the first and only to know what I felt for you and I waited 'til the time was right to tell you. It's been 6 long years since we first met and I've loved you every second of that time." "Sure, there was that time when I felt you didn't love me back so I made everyone think that I liked Cho when all I could think of was you. You were and still are, in my dreams at night and I was hoping that you'd be mine forever in reality too. So, Hermione Rose Granger, would you accept the honor of becoming Mrs. Hermione Rose Potter?" Tears were beginning to form in Hermione's eyes as she looked deeply into Harry's, thinking and re-thinking about how much she really loved him. "Yes Harry. It would be a pleasure to marry the man I truly love. And then, if you'd like to, we could go live with Sirius over the summer holidays, until we can legally buy a home to call our own." She was still faintly crying as Harry slipped the ring onto Hermione's petal soft finger. "Oh Harry, this is the most beautiful ring in the world and I absolutely love it. But how in the world were you able to pay for it? It must have cost a lot of money." "Well, my love, it didn't cost nearly as much as it looks. The heart shaped diamond and the band was my mother's. All I had to do was add the sapphires and ruby's." "Oh Harry.I love you so much!!" The shared a moment embracing in each other's arms before heading back to the Great Hall to finish the ball.
