The music began to play as I walked down the marble stairs where at the bottom Harry was waiting. He held out his arm and I took it. Together we entered the main hall, which was so beautiful, and grand there was no way of describing it. The music echoed all around and Harry took me to the middle where we danced.
"There's a calm surrender
To the rush of days
When the heat of a rolling wave
Can't be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight
It is where we are
It's a love
For this wide eyed wonderer
That we got this far…"
"Thank you Harry."
"Why are you thanking me for?"
"For saving me and always being there for me."
"It's alright."
"Do you think Ron and Hermione are a pair now?"
"Looks like it."
"There's a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twist in the kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn"
"Harry?"
"Yes?"
"Do you mind that Ron and Hermione are together?"
"No, why do you ask?"
"'Cause you liked her."
"No I didn't!"
"Ah, stop denying it!"
"I'm not!"
"Yes you are!"
"Andrea."
"What?"
"Shut up."
We danced the rest in silence in each other's arms. The song ended and the hall collapsed into applause. We joined Ron and Hermione who had sat down by the bar.
"Good music, eh Harry?" Ron turned to Hermione, "Who's the muggle who sings it again?"
"Elton John." The three of us say in unison before we all start laughing.
"Harry!" a boy suddenly shouts. "Harry, can I take a picture?"
"Sure Colin." The four of us get together and the camera flashes. A picture comes out of the front. Harry and Ron are at the back with Hermione and me in the front, all smiling happily and waving. This would definitely be a night I will treasure for forever.
"Would you like to keep it?" I look up after realising that Colin was talking to me.
"Me?"
"Yep."
"Thanks." And with that Colin walked away.

That night I stayed up looking at the photo. I couldn't help but laugh when Ron got his robe buckle tangled in Hermione's hair! She was so angry that she ran out of the picture with Ron following. I took one last look at the picture, placed it on my bedside table and blew out the candle for bed.
