"I own nothing I tell you….NOTHING!"
Essential, Chapter 9
It was the night of the Yule Ball and all the girls were getting ready to go with their dates. Hermione who had confronted Krum once again was happy with herself and thought about it no more. All the boys were downstairs in the common room. "How long will they still be!?" Exclaimed an aggravated Ron. Ginny peaked out of the room. "10 minutes!" But all the boys knew that when Gin meant 10 minutes it was actually 30. (A/N: Us girls are always taking so much time but…. it's too look good for you men! Humph!) The boys were all playing card games when the girls descended from the girl's dormitory. Harry's mouth dropped open when he saw Hermione come down first (Imagine all the girls being drop dead gorgeous I don't feel like explaining with mindless details oh yeh, remember the dresses too) 'Wow' harry thought to himself, 'I am taking the most beautiful girl to the Ball.' All the boys had their mouths dropping open when they saw the girls come down the stairs. Much to Lavenders liking Ron had his mouth drop open as she came down not as Parvati came down, which on the other hand Parvati took with much displeasure. All the dates took each other's arms and left for the Great Hall. As they entered they noticed that couples were already dancing on the dance floor. Much to the girls pleasure Muggle Music was on. The group sat down and ordered Butter Beer while chatting softly. 'I have to ask her to dance' thought Harry. It was a perfect opportunity to…it was a slow. It was "Things I'll Never Say" by Avril Lavigne. Harry asked Hermione to dance and they were now both on the dance floor staring into each other's eyes as the music swayed along. "Harry?" Started Hermione, "Remember that day in the common room when I asked you if you liked me and you said 'What do you think?'" Harry looked at Hermione and smiled. "What do you think?" He asked coolly. Hermione just said "I hope its yes because I love you too…" but before Hermione could finish what she was about to say, Harry bent his head down and kissed Hermione on the lips for what seemed an eternity to the two. This kiss wasn't like any other kiss, it was full of passion and love…everything that Hermione and Harry had ever felt for each other. Harry was the first one to stop the kiss saying, "I love you too" Harry and Mione remained on the dance floor until the song ended. As they walked back to their table hand in hand, they could hear whistling and clapping from around the room. It was now 10:30 and Ron had just come back from yet ANOTHER dance with Parvati. "You OK Man?" Asked Harry to his friend. "She won't stop dancing with me! It's horrible!" Said Ron panting, trying to catch his breath. After half an hour of taking a break one of Lavender's favorite songs was on. Unfortunately for her, Seamus was off some where with Ginny dancing. She was happy for the two but…it was her song. "I love this song" she sighed to herself. It was "Losing You" by Busted. Ron started moving towards her to ask her to dance when Parvati came up to him. "Where do you think you're going?!" Asked Parvati, Ron simply pushed her out of the way and asked, "Lavender will you dance with me?" Lavender took Ron's hand gladly and they headed for the dance floor. Near the middle of the song Lav and Ron had admitted their feelings for each other, and as Hermione and Harry they shared one long passionate kiss. It was a good night for everybody well almost everybody…Parvati, Draco, and Krum were now extremely pissed that they had lost the guy or the girl.
Harry and Hermione met at the pond at 12:00 pm and shared the most magical night they had ever had in their life. "There's no love without a magical feeling…" said Harry to Hermione before kissing her gently.
