This Last Dance - Part 04
By: Angela Graham
I'm back :) Please comment.
Harry stared daggers at Draco. He'd won everything... including Hermione Granger. He looked down at his hands, and felt his scar on his forehead. He noticed Hermione dancing with Draco in the far corner of the room, hidden in the shadows.
"Lets get some punch, shall we?" Draco extended his right hand, which Hermione took rather guilty of leaving Harry. She gazed around the room. 'Where is Harry?' She thought, glancing around.
Draco waved a glass of punch in front of her, breaking her from her trance, and disrupting her thoughts. "Here." She stared at it, then loooking into those grey eyes, which were (oddly) filled with a friendly and welcoming twinkle. Hermione took the glass with her right gloved hand, and drank it. All the dancing had worn her out, and she was thirsty. The punch tasted tangy and had a knack to it. Pretty soon she was on her fifth cup, giggling like an idiot. Finally she set her cup down, and practically clung to Draco's shoulder.
"Umm.." She hiccuped, with Draco gazing at her in a concerned manner. "I don't feel very well. I think I'll go now." He tilted her head towards his gently, and gave her a kiss. She picked up her bag, and took a step forward, rather shaken up. She swayed a little, until she was able to balance herself, and then repeat the process.
"I'd better take you back to your common room." He wrapped her in his arms behind her waist, and walked her through the corridors toward the Gryffindor Tower. The door was open, with a shivering Neville Longbottom in the corner, holding the portrait door open for them. Draco helped Hermione clamber into the Common Room, and up the stairs to her dormitory.
He gazed around the dorm, and then sat on the bed. She took of her tiara, and set it down on her oak nightstand, and sat next to him. "Look Draco. I wanna thank you for the lovely night." She looked at him. Their eyes met, and their lips drifted closer together. When they were about to kiss, Hermione whispered "I love you, Draco."
Their lips brushed against one another's and finally connected. A flame lit in each one's heart, and when they pulled away that flame remained flickering. "Me too." Draco whispered, smoothing out her hair. She leaned back on the bed, and laid down next to her, and they kissed in the darkness of the room.
Author's Note: I don't own any of the characters, but please review... Thank you Ms. Rowling for creating Harry Potter & characters. Also I'd like to comment that the D/H portion is almost over with a small portion in the next chapter, and then fate will decide. Here's a little preview:
Next Part: Harry becomes intensly worried about Hermione and Draco, and is determined to do something about it. The final day of the dance comes, (it's a three day dance) and the sanity is broken by a certain someone. Havoc reigns and Hermione must decide who to go with... A precious few chapters left, but I promise the next one will be longer.
