Chapter 6: Dinner & A Little Dancing
(Here's the H/H Romance chapter as promised!)
Harry was now in his room deciding on what to wear to dinner. Harry left Hogsmeade earlier than planned because Ron was making fun of Harry. Harry fell back on his bed. Potter, Potter, Potter! What are we going to with you? She's your FRIEND! You've GOT to remember that! Your going out to dinner with her! But then the friendlier, more welcome voice replied. It's a date! He's ALOUD to think that! So let him be! She likes him & that's all there is to it * Harry made the voices leave his head as he returned to picking out his outfit. He decided to wear a green & silver (A/N: I know! Slytherin colors! But I like the colors together!) silky shirt & khaki pants. Just when he was looking in the mirror, his mother popped in.
"Hermione is going to like that outfit!" She said smiling. Harry turned around!
"HEY!" Harry said. His mother just smiled.
She gave a fake sniff than said, "My little boy is all grown up!" She gave another fake sniff & whipped a invisible tear from her eye. Harry just rolled his eyes.
Hermione was having a hard time deciding on what to wear. She wanted to look PERFECT for Harry. He probably remembers me with messy, uncontrollable hair. A bag full of book slung over my shoulder. In my Hogwarts robes & everything else. She picked out a red dress that came above her knees. The strings in the back criss-crossed. Then she curled her hair into tight little ringlets. She sat down on her bed thinking about Harry. Just then the doorbell rang.
"I got it!" Her little brother, Matt, yelled. When he reached the door, Hermione was praying that he wouldn't say anything embarrassing. "Oh! Here for Hermione I see! I'll get her! Come in if you like!" Matt said. Hermione was grateful. He walked up stairs & opened her door. "Your DATE is here!" He said with a smirk on his face. Hermione glared at him. Before leaving her room, she grabbed her red coat that matched her dress.
Harry was stunned when Hermione walked down the steps. She looked like an angel, walking so gracefully. "Hello." She said smiling brightly.
"Hey!" He replied. When Hermione reached the bottom, Harry took her hand & lead her outside. "I decided that we would walk to the restaurant, since it is SUCH a beautiful night." He said staring into her eyes.
"Okay." Hermione replied looking into his. They walked down the street hand in hand. "Where are we going anyway?" Hermione asked not taking her eyes off of him.
"Nigro's. Some Italian restaurant." Harry replied. He smiled at Hermione. Hermione stopped walking. "Is something wrong Hermione?" Harry asked. She shook her head. Their faces moved closer & closer. Their noses were almost toughing. Harry leaned in kissing her on her lips. Hermione was startled but didn't protest. Harry withdrew from the kiss not sure of what Hermione's action might be. He was half expecting her to punch him! But she didn't. She leaned in for another kiss. This one more passionately than the first. When they withdrew from the kiss, they smiled at each other & continued walking.
When they finally reached the restaurant, Ron & Lavender already arrived. When they saw Harry & Hermione hand in hand & smiling passionately at each other, they smiled at each other. Their plan had worked!
When Harry & Hermione finally sat down, it struck them. They kissed each other! Harry fell back in his chair. He couldn't believe it. He was just snogging with Hermione! He just smiled at her. They both forgot that Ron & Lavender were with them.
"I'll be right back, Ron! I have to freshen up." She said. As she got up from the table, she grabbed Hermione's upper arm, & dragged her to the bathroom. "What happened between you two? I want FULL details!" She added beaming.
"Between me who?" Hermione asked innocently.
"HARRY & YOU! Come on! I want to hear details!" Lavender said not able to bear the tension.
"Oh!" Hermione replied smiling. "We just kissed. That's all!"
"That's all! THAT'S ALL!" Lavender yelled. "Okay." Hermione rolled her eyes. Lavender just laughed. As they walked back to the table, they saw Ron & Harry were absorbed in their conversation. They walked over quietly. Harry jumped when he heard Lavender walk behind him. "Jumpy, huh?" Lavender said.
"Whatever." Harry replied to Lavender. Just then, the waiter came over. Hermione, who was staring at Harry, broke her glance & looked at the waiter. He was quite cute. Once the waiter took their drink order, Lavender leaned over to Hermione & said, "Hot, that one! I'm telling you!" She said in a low whisper.
"Hey! I heard that!" Ron said glaring at Lavender. She laughed at Ron & gave him a hug. "Okay." He said.
After dinner, Hermione suggested that they go dancing. Harry wasn't to fond of the idea, but didn't protest because everyone else agreed. Hermione lead them out of Hogsmeade to a muggle town.
"The place isn't much further." She said.
"Good! Because these shoes are killing me!" Lavender yelled. Harry & Hermione laughed. Ron, not wanting her to yell in his ear again, picked her up & put her on his shoulders.
"Here it is!" Hermione said stopping in front of a worn down building.
"This is worse than my house!" Ron said looking at the building in discussed.
"Your house is bad Ron." Harry said in reassurance. Ron rolled his eyes. As the group walked into the building, the sound of swing music filled their ears. (That's for you Ally! HEHEHE!)
"I haven't been here for EVER!" Hermione exclaimed. She was snapping her fingers to the beat. Harry & Ron looked at each other thinking the same thing. 'How do you dance to THIS?' Harry looked worried. He could dance to regular music, let alone THIS! As they walked into the dance room, the tune slowed down.
"Oh! This is my favorite slow dance! Come on, Ron!" Lavender said grabbing his hand.
Hermione stood there not knowing what to do. Then Harry spoke up.
"Um... would you like to- to dance?" Harry asked nervously.
"Sure!" Hermione exclaimed. She took his hand & lead him to the dance floor. She put one of his hands around her waist & one in her own hand. She put her remaining on his shoulder. They moved slowly. Harry began to relax. He moved with the beat. His thoughts became lost as he started into Hermione's deep, chocolate brown eyes.
