Downstairs, guests were beginning to arrive by the dozens, carrying beautifully wrapped packages and flowers, coming to admire Hermione and her hard work. At the foot of the stairs leading up from the great hall, Ron sat, waiting for Harry, who had gone up to retrieve something to show Ron. Finally, Harry came down and sat next to him as he pulled out a beautiful diamond ring. Ron looked at him in disbelief. "Who-who for?!" Harry looked up. "A beautiful woman." He said dreamily. Ron looked disgusted. "Oh geez-pull yourself together!" Harry looked down at the ring. "I don't know if I should.I mean.she's going out with another guy." Suddenly, they heard footsteps at the top of the stairs and Harry quickly put the ring in the box and stood up. Draco was carrying Hermione in his arms and bringing her down the steps flirtatiously. They arrived at the bottom of the stairs and he let her down, as they walked hand in hand into the great hall.
Several guests were gathered in the hall, and it had somehow become magically decorated in red, gold, and blackish silver. Some soft jazz music was playing, and a few people were dancing, including Ginny and Seamus who looked quite cozy. Hermione looked around adoringly and spotted her parents. She grabbed Draco's arm and ran over to them to say hi.
"Hi honey!" her mother called. They walked over and handed her a rectangular package. "Happy birthday sweety," her father said. "We are so proud of you." She hugged both of her parents and stepped back. "Who is this handsome young man?" her mother asked with a grin. "Oh, mum, dad, this is my boyfriend, Draco Malfoy. We've been going out for 3 months now." She said while looking at Draco adoringly. "Nice to meet you Mr. And Mrs. Granger, it's an honor to see you at last." He shook their hands politely. "This is a wonderful castle, I can't believe we hadn't seen it before now." Said Mr. Granger looking around admiringly. Her mother nudged Hermione. "Don't you want to open the parcel dear?" Hermione smiled. "Of course." Slowly she took off the maroon wrapping and the fancy golden bow. It was.a book. "R.A.V.E., The Must-Have Handbook for a Teenage Girl." She read. She looked up at her parents excited faces. "Sounds..fascinating!" she hugged her parents once more. Draco tapped her and looked out in the middle of the hall. "Care to dance gorgeous?" Hermione beamed at him. "I'd love to!"
He grabbed her hand and led her out to the floor. He put his hand on her waist and the other in his hand while she put her other hand on his shoulder. Slowly, they began revolving on the dance floor. The room was buzzing with people talking, laughing, dancing, eating, and enjoying themselves, but Draco and Hermione were in their own world. It was right then that she realized how much she loved him. She had never really thought about it, but she did. A lot.
She laid her head down on his shoulder and continued to hug him and they continued dancing. Then she spotted Fred and George conversing with Harry and Ron. She realized that she hadn't talked to them, and gently let go of Draco, telling him she was going to go say hi.
"Hey you guys!" she called as she walked over. All four of them looked at her. "Hey Hermione," said Fred. Ron beamed at her. "Happy birthday Hermione, we hope you're enjoying yourself." Hermione couldn't help but smile. "Guess it wasn't anything that was going to jump out and get you was it?" said Harry as he hit her back in a friendly manner. "We would give you your packages from us, but we added them to the castle." Ron pointed over to a young woman who was carefully stacking the packages into a beautiful statue. "Oh, that doesn't matter. All I care about is that you came!" Draco walked up behind her. "Hey," he said softly. Fred, George, Harry, and Ron all gave him an approving nod. "Thought you'd like something to drink." And he handed her some pumpkin juice. "Oh, thank you." She drank it slowly, and felt Draco nudge her. "Well guys, I'm going to go..um.converse.with Draco. See you later I'm sure! " She winked at them and walked away.
