sadly, I don't. The amazing genius JK Rowling does
A/N- it's dance time! I've had this planned for the longest time but I needed to get the other chapters done to be ready for this. I didn't have the patience to wait for the reviews either
Chapter 6-
It was finally the day of the Masquerade Ball. The girls were all running around the school giggling. After lunch that day classes were cancelled because they knew everyone wouldn't come anyway. Instead the girls ran straight to their dormitories to start getting ready for the ball. Hermione was in her room watching Parvati and Lavender run around the room in frantics.
"OH MY GOD! I can't find my shoes!" Parvati said digging through her closet.
"You are wearing them Parvati!" Hermione said as she looked down at her feet then smiled looking very embarrassed.
"Why aren't you running around?" Lavender said as Hermione was curling the strands of hair that were left out of Lavender's bun.
"Well we do still have four hours until the ball." Hermione said nearly burning her finger on the muggle curling iron she had.
"Four hours! That's it! Oh my God! Oh My God!" Parvati said freaking out even more.
Hermione used all her strength not to laugh at her friends scampering around the room. Parvati was wearing a dark blue dress with a light blue sheer shall. She wore her hair half up and half down with the part that was up in a bun with loose curls hanging down. Lavender war a crimson gown with a v-neck line with a bow in the back. Her hair was tossed up into a bun with spiral curls hanging down everywhere. Lavender and Parvati were spraying sparkles in their hair when Hermione went into her closet and took out a garment bag and walked to the bathroom to get changed. An hour and a half later Hermione walked back into the room.
Lavender and Parvati were stunned. She looked gorgeous. She wore a deep purple (she planned it to match the colors of the ball). It had a square neckline and the dress was tight until it hit her hips where the dressed flowed out. The back went low with criss crosses of gold going up her back. On the bottom of the dress there was a gold embroidered rose, which accented it perfectly. She straightened her hair and put an enchantment on it, which made it shine when the light hit it. She wore very natural looking make-up making her look like a princess.
"Do I look okay?" Hermione asked breaking the silence.
"You look great!" Her two friends squealed hugging her.
"Thank you, you both look amazing," she said smiling at them.
Suddenly packages appeared on each of their beds. Parvati and Lavender shrieked as they ran to open them. They knew these packages held their masks. Hermione assured them a million times that they would be beautiful and were made to match their out fits.
Hermione opened her box. Her mask was exquisite. It was made to fit over the top of her nose and around her eyes. It was covered in gold sparkles and on the outer edge were purple sequins. On the outside corner where her eyes were there were two rhinestones. She picked it up slowly and on its own it attached to her face. She turned around and looked at her friends.
"You ready?" Lavender asked her.
"Yep," she said as they exited their room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione, Harry and Ron met up in the Gryffindor common room. Even thought they were wearing mask they knew who each other were right away. The trio walked down to the Great Hall together with Harry and Ron staring at Hermione the whole time. They were amazed by how beautiful she looked.
"Ready guys?" she said turning around to them before entering the Great Hall. It looked magnificent. The ceiling was enchanted with fireworks booming all over but they were silent. Confetti was falling from the ceiling and disappearing just above everyone's heads. There were gold and purple streamers framing the hall with green and royal blue streamers dangling from the ceiling. The small round tables covered with purple, green, gold and blue table clothes were covered with mountains of Mardi Gras beads in those colors. It was truly a sight to see.
"This is amazing Hermione. Are you sure you planned this?" Ron said staring at the fireworks on the ceiling.
"Well Draco helped me," Hermione said as Harry got a disgusted look on his face.
Quickly the room filled with students who gasped at how amazing the Great Hall looked.
"It seems to me that most of us have arrived," Dumbledore said standing up at the staff table. It was transformed to look like a parade float. "I think we should all thank the prefect for planning this wonderful event for us," he said as the crowd roared with cheer and Hermione beamed. "Now let the festivities begin!" he boomed as a popular wizard dance song began playing. Hermione, Ron and Harry danced to the song and then decided to go get some food since they missed dinner. They left the buffet and chose to sit at a table draped in a royal blue tablecloth. The trio ate and talked for a little while and then the boys announced they were going to attempt to find their girlfriends among the masks.
Hermione sat alone sipping some punch when someone tapped her shoulder. She turned around to see who it was. A tall boy now stood in front of her. He wore a royal blue lined in gold. His mask was coved in blue sequins with gold sparkles glinting every once in a while. It matched his hair wonderfully, which was blonde and fell into his eyes, which were a slate blue that made her feel warm.
"May I have this dance?" the boy said offering her his hand. His voice almost sounded familiar but she couldn't place it.
"Yes you may," she said giving him her hand and walking to the dance floor with him.
The Cha Cha Slide by Casper was playing and the pair danced to it next to each other. Hermione's partner seemed very unsure of himself but she told him to just listen to the music and it will tell you what to do. Eventually he got the hang of it and once the song ended he wanted more. The next song was a slow song.
The other couples were dancing and they just stood there.
"Do you want to?" Hermione said looking up at him.
"Alright," He said putting his hands around her waist and she clasped her hands behind his neck.
~~All I am, All I'll be
~~everything in this world
~~All that I'll ever need
~~is in your eyes
~~Shining at me
The couple stared at each other. He knew who she was but she had no clue. But for some reason she felt like she knew him for her whole lifetime.
~~When you smile I can feel
~~All my passion unfolding
~~your hand brushes mine
~~and a thousand sensations
~~Seduce me cause I
Hermione for some reason felt so comfortable around him and she couldn't understand it. She became less tense and he pulled her body closer to him not removing his eyes from hers.
~~I do Cherish you
~~for the rest of my life
~~you don't have to think twice
~~I will love you still
~~from the depths of my soul
~~It's beyond my control
Hermione lost knowledge of what she was doing and she brought her body closer to him and lay her head on his shoulder and she so much comfort.
~~I've waited so long to say this to you ~~If you're asking do I love you this much
~~I do
~~in my world, before you
~~I lived outside my emotions
~~didn't know where I was going
~~'Till that day I found you
Harry and Ron were staring at her as they danced with their partners.
"Who's he?" Ron mouthed nudging his head toward the couple.
Harry shrugged as they watched their best friend dance with someone they did not know.
~~ How you opened my life
~~to a new paradise
~~in a world torn by change
~~Still with all of my heart
~~'Till my dying day
Hermione felt as if everything was perfect and she didn't want this to end. It was so strange, to feel comfortable around someone who's name you didn't know.
~~If you're asking do I love you this much
~~I do
~~Oh, I do
The song ended but Hermione and her dance partner still held onto each other. They eventually realized the song ended.
"Want to go take a walk?" he said.
"I'd love to," Hermione said taking his hand and following him out the door.
Even outside it looked marvelous. Fire works were shooting in the sky amongst the stars and all of the stone benches and railings were draped with Mardi Gras beads. They walked down the staircase and sat down on the last step. The couple sat for a moment before Hermione asked the question she had wanted to ask for a while now.
"Umm. may I ask who you are," Hermione said looking at him.
"I'd rather not say. But you could call me SAM, it stands for something. You will figure it out eventually Hermione."
That caught Hermione by surprise.
"How did you know my name?"
"I'd know who you are, where ever you are. How can anyone miss your beauty?" he said making Hermione's cheeks turn red.
Hermione eventually broke the silence (she hates it when it is silent). "It sure looks beautiful tonight."
"Yes, you do look beautiful," Sam said to her. She looked up and realized he had been staring at her. He leaned in to kiss her and their lips met softly and then parted. He went back in for a deeper, more passionate kiss. Hermione felt comforted as his tongue wiped against her lips. Firework in pink, red and purple erupted in the sky. Hermione felt as if everything was perfect and she didn't really know who this person was.
"I'm sorry," Sam said breaking away from the kiss.
"Don't worry, I don't mind," she said smiling at him. Suddenly they heard Dumbledore booming from inside the great hall.
"Now, to my dismay the ball is coming to an end and our final song must play,"
They heard a group sigh and decided to go and dance the last dance. The words seemed to fit what Hermione was feeling perfectly.
~~What if I told you
~~it was all meant to be
~~would you believe me
~~would you agree
Sam put his arms around her waist and she loosely put her arms over his shoulders.
~~It's almost that feeling
~~that we've met before
~~so tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
~~when I tell you love has come here and now
He slowly pulled her into his body and looked down at her honey eyes sparkling up at him.
~~A moment like this
~~some people wait a lifetime
~~for a moment like this
~~some people search forever
~~for that one special kiss
Hermione lay her head on his shoulder. It was ironic, but for some reason she felt as if she loved him, but she did not know who he really was.
~~Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
~~some people wait a lifetime
~~for a moment like this
He was so happy it could not be explained. This is what he had wanted for some time but he knew he couldn't have it. Now he had it and he wanted this song to last forever so she would never leave his arms.
~~Everything Changes
~~but beauty remains
~~something so tender
~~I can't explain
~~well I may be dreaming
~~but still lie awake
~~can we make this dream last forever ~~And I'll cherish all the love we share
Harry and Ron stared at their best friend. She was in the arms of a person they didn't know. They hadn't seen her almost the entire dance but for some reason she looked happier then she had ever been before.
~~A moment like this
~~some people wait a lifetime
~~for a moment like this
~~some people search forever
~~for that one special kiss
~~Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
~~some people wait a lifetime
~~for a moment like this
Hermione looked up at Sam and joined his lips in the most passionate kiss the ball had seen. It seemed like magic but they knew it was all natural. It was so pure and the song only heightened it. They both felt as if everything was absolutely perfect and nothing could change it. They were absolutely stunned that something like this was happening to them.
~~Could this be the reign of love above
~~I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall
~~so let me tell you this
~~some people wait a lifetime
~~for a moment like this
Harry and Ron stood there awed their best friend in the entire world was kissing this person they did not even know.
The song ended but the couple stood there holding each other.
"Goodnight Hermione," Sam whispered in her ear and ran out of the Great Hall.
"Wait, who are you?" she said trying to run after her version of Cinderella but he was nowhere to be seen.
She walked back into the Great Hall disappointed and was met by Harry and Ron.
"Who was that you've been with all night?" they said almost angrily.
"To tell you the truth, I don't know."
