Bailamos
*Hermione*
I sat in my dormitory, feeling dejected. I was going to the Yule Ball alone this year. Harry and Ron were going with their girlfriends, but as always, I was single and alone. So very alone. I sighed and lied back against my pillows, thinking of the ridicule I would endure in a few hours. If only a certain Slytherin had asked me to the Ball, I wouldn't feel this way now.
*Draco*
I was in my dormitory, feeling alone. I should be used to it by now, but I'm not. All I want to do is take Hermione in my arms and tell her how sorry I am for the past six and a half years. I'm not sure when I started having these feelings for her, but I do. I'm not even sure she feels the same way about me, but I'm going to ask her to dance. And I know just the perfect song.
*Hermione*
I walked down to the Great Hall with Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Lavender. It's no surprise that they're together. Sorry if I sound cynical, but I'm not in a good mood. They drag me here knowing full well I don't have a date. "Well maybe you'll find someone there," Lavender suggested. Yeah, right. Sure, I looked nice with my sky blue robes and my hair in a French twist, but what does it matter? I saw Draco and my heart melted, but I knew I could never have him.
*Draco*
Finally, it was time for my plan to win Hermione once and for all. I saw her alone at her table. If this works, she'll never be alone, and neither will I. I walked over to the DJ and whispered my request. He nodded, promising me he'd play it in a few minutes. Fortunately it wasn't long before he announced, "All right, everybody! Here's a song sent out to Hermione Granger."
*Hermione*
Who would request a song for me? I knew Draco wouldn't do this for me.
"Would you like to dance?" someone behind me asked. I knew that voice, but it couldn't be.
My whole world was oblivious as I turned around, only to see Draco. "Are you serious?" I asked.
He nodded and held out his hand. I smiled for the first time that night.
Esta noche bailamos
Te doy toda mi vida
Quedate conmigo
*Draco*
These lyrics were true for me. I'm giving my life to Hermione. I want her to stay with me. I gazed into her eyes as we started to dance. She's my soul mate. I can't live without her.
*Hermione*
I looked into his eyes, feeling the emptiness float away. I knew I'd do anything in my power to stay with him. I want to be with him, always and forever.
Tonight we dance
I leave my life in your hands
We take the floor
Nothing is forbidden anymore
*Draco*
I held her close to me, like it was my last day on Earth. I breathed in her sweet vanilla scent, wondering why I never noticed it before. My father would kill me, but I don't care. This is my life, and I'll live it how I want to.
*Hermione*
It felt so right to be in his arms. I was safe, protected from everything in my life. I put my head on his shoulder, detecting his cologne. God, he smelled so good!
Don't let the world in outside
Don't let a moment go by
Nothing can stop us tonight
*Draco*
This song fits us perfectly. Nothing will stop us from being together. I love her, and nothing will change that.
Bailamos
Let the rhythm take you over
Bailamos
Te quiero amor mio
Bailamos
Wanna live this night forever
Bailamos
Te quiero amor mio
Te quiero
*Hermione*
If someone had told me my first year here that I would be in love with Draco Malfoy, I would've thought they were nuts. Everything finally made sense. His past behavior was just a mask, hiding how he really felt.
Tonight I'm yours
We can make it happen, I'm so sure
Now I'm letting go
There is something I think you should know
I won't be leaving your side
We're gonna dance through the night
I wanna reach for the stars
*Draco*
I will never leave her side. I love her so much, but she doesn't even know yet. I leaned a little bit towards her ear.
"Hermione?" I whispered.
"Yes?" she asked, gazing into my eyes.
"I love you."
She smiled. That was the smile that made me melt. "I love you, too," she said, settling back into my arms.
I knew my life would never be the same.
Bailamos
Let the rhythm take you over
Bailamos
Te quiero amor mio
Bailamos
Wanna live this night forever
Bailamos
Te quiero amor mio
Te quiero
*Hermione*
Love finds us in unexpected places, I guess. I finally heard the three words I've wanted to hear from him for awhile.
Whoa, tonight we dance
Whoa, like no tomorrow
Whoa, if you will stay with me
Te quiero mi amor
*Draco*
I wish this dance would never end. If we parted, reality would deliver a crushing blow. We would be separated, again. Truth was, the Sorting Hat wanted to put me in Gryffindor, but I refused to listen to it.
Quedate conmigo
Esta noche bailamos
*Hermione*
I knew it was true. I wanted to stay with him forever. I don't care what anyone says. Harry and Ron can stop talking to me, my parents could kick me out of the house, but I don't care. I love him and I will stay with him.
Bailamos
Let the rhythm take you over
Bailamos
Te quiero amor mio
Bailamos
Wanna live this night forever
Bailamos
Te quiero amor mio
Te quiero
Como te quiero
*Draco*
The song ended, bringing me back to reality. Everyone in the Great Hall was staring at us, like they couldn't believe we were together. I started laughing, and so did she. Hermione and I would always be together, no doubt about that. I honestly believe in love now and there's nothing you can do about it.
(A/N) So this was my first song fic, so sue me if it sucks! Anyway, review if you really want to.
