TRIP TO PARADISE
Chapter 11: Slow dancing: as sweet as kiwi.
Completely oblivious to Ron, Hermione was sweating, not physically , but emotionally.
Was Ron really asking know-it-all Hermione Granger to go with him to the Blue Bay? Even more, were those chocolate brown eyes looking deeply at hers?
"Now that if you don't want to.."- Ron said as Hermione appeared to be in the moon.
"I'd love to, Ron."- Hermione said shaking her thoughts, drowning Ron's voice.
Ron smiled, and Hermione did too.
"And since when Ron Weasley likes dancing? Because we'll dance all night, huh?"- Hermione said, breaking the silence. She may have appeared calm, but inside, she was just as happy as Ron.
"I've got moves you've never seen…"- Ron said jokingly, while Hermione burst into laughter.
"Here we are, room 234"- Hermione said, still smiling because of Ron's funny statement.
"What's up girls? Ready to go? I guess the guys upstairs are just waiting for you so we can leave."- Hermione said.
"We're-almost-ready"- Lavender said slowly, as she was applying some lipstick.
"And what is a gentleman doing in a girls-only room?"- Parvati said joking.
"I'm here cause a little red-head stole something from my boys-only room."- Ron said looking at Ginny.
"Sorry, Ron, but it was a time of need; I'm not completely used to this half-naked way of life. But I see you do…"- Ginny said smiling. – "And if I were you I wouldn't put it on if I was planning to get some ladies…"- she finished looking from the corner of her eye to Hermione, who defended herself turning away to face the window instead of Ginny's naughty face.
"I'm not planning to get ladies, Gin"- Ron said, unaware of what Ginny really meant.
"Look! Isn't that the bonfire we are going to?- Hermione said, pointing to it from the terrace.
It was. There was a large group of people there already. Ron walked towards the terrace where Hermione was standing.
"So, when are you going to be ready?- Ron asked the girls.
"Give us ten minutes, k?"- Ginny said while fastening her pony-tail.
"Then we'll see us up in my room in 10 minutes. Sharp. I'll go tell the guys. Ten minutes, Gin?"- he finished menacingly, knowing her little sister took a while to get all "pretty".
"Can we get to ask what you were doing alone with Mr. Ron Weasley?"- Lavender said mischievously just after Ron closed the door.
"You won't believe this, but…"- Hermione enjoyed the attention she was been given by her roommates.
"But…"- Lavender beckoned her to continue.
"He invited me to the Blue Bay tomorrow night!"- Hermione said happily.
"No way Mione, he really did?"- Parvati said and Hermione nodded smiling.
"And, how did he asked you, was it romantic?"- Lavender said. She was clearly happy now that she knew her plan really worked.
"Well… This is none of your business, or is it?"- Hermione said, toying with her friends' anxiety.
Ginny made a scowl which Hermione found very funny and Lavender pulled a sad-baby face which made her looked like an angry squirrel.
"Okay, okay, well he just looked into my eyes…"- as Hermione said this, the three girls were completely silent, waiting for the next part of the story. "…put his hands on my shoulders…"- Lavender's eyes were popping out with excitement- " … and after that, kissed me passionately like there was no tomorrow."
"What?"- Parvati said ecstatic, Ginny and Lavender were open-mouthed.
"I was kidding. You really looked weird when I was telling you what happened!"- Hermione said laughing.
"That was not funny, you know?"- Lavender said grinning- "Now, tell us what really happened."
"Well he did look into my eyes, put his hands over my shoulders, and of course he didn't kiss me, he just asked me if I wanted to go to the club with him. That's all. Are you happy now?"- Hermione said.
"But you wanted him to kiss you, didn't you? Come on, he looked hot with his shirt off!"- Lavender said.
"Lavender, you're crazy, you knew that?"- Hermione said changing the topic quickly.
"Admit it Mione. Isn't my brother a cutie pie?"- Ginny asked her naughtily.
"Oh shut up all of you! Now let's go before it gets too late."- so they left to the boys' room.
"She said yes!!- Ron told the boys after he closed the door.
"What are you talking about?"- Harry asked him.
"Hermione! She said yes! For one minute I thought she would say no but, well, she accepted"- Ron said happily.
"How to say no to that shirtless cutie?"- Dean said, imitating a girl voice.
"Shut up you crazy sotter lover!"- Ron said jokingly.
"It is soccer, you moron!"- Dean said laughing. Harry, Neville and Seamus were laughing too.
"Whatever. Now, what are we going to do when Hermione finds out what we did to Josh?"- Ron said somehow worried. The last thing he needed right now was picking a fight with Hermione.
"Easy; we'll just play along"- Neville said through a mouthful of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans.
"What?"- they all said, as anyone understood what he was trying to say.
"I said,"- Neville said clearing his throat- "we can just play along. I mean, I'll tell everyone that I am a squib, not that I'm dropping school of course, but hey, she won't be able to tell Josh I wanted to talk to all of you about my "concern" of being a squib, right?"
"Well, that might work"- Seamus said.
"We don't have another option anyway."- Harry said and some seconds after that, someone knocked the door.
"It's us, you prats!"- Lavender said because they hadn't opened the door.
"No need to get anxious my dear Lavender"- Seamus said, opening the door.
"Wow, you all look- great!"- Dean said as they got into the room. He said: "You all look great", but deep inside he couldn't take his eyes off Lavender.
Harry tried hard to look another way, any way but Ginny's, if he didn't want to start drooling all over the floor. She looked stunning to him, with her high pony-tail, and some nice clothes. She looked beautiful, cute and sexy, all at the same time, but without looking like she tried too hard to get that look.
And what can we say about Ron, who was literally bewitched, and Seamus who was practically open-mouthed.
Soon they were in the beach. The place was already packed with people dancing, some of them Hogwarts students. A DJ was playing great songs, both muggle and wizard, as Dean and Hermione could see. The atmosphere was great. There was a very big bonfire and all around it some people danced, and there were little bonfires around which some sat with their friends in the sand, some were drinking or eating, and some were walking in the shoreline, most of them couples. The place was dimly lit by the bonfire and some lights iluminated the place where the DJ was mixing.
"Where's Neville?"- Parvati asked them.
"I don't know, he was here a minute ago, wasn't he?"- Seamus answered.- "He must be looking for something to eat."
"Or maybe he's getting the drinks!"- Dean said expectant.
"The drinks? You know we aren't allowed to drink, Dean!"- Hermione said, as always, matter-of-factly.
"Ease up, Mione, they are just butterbeers."- Ron said.
"And Kiwi Chills."- Seamus stated.
"Kiwi chills?"- Harry asked.
"They are something like butterbeers, but cold and made of kiwi of course."- Seamus said.
"It's worth a try, anyway. Ginny, I think Vicky's calling you there"- Hermione pointed to a skinny, blue-eyed blond.
"Ginny, here!"- Victoria, Ginny's friend called her from the other side of the bonfire.
"What's up Vic, having fun?"- Ginny asked her.
"Yeah, I've been dancing like crazy, but what about you, hot chic? Lookin' good!"
"Thanks Vic, you look great, too. I've just arrived. Have you eaten something? I'm starving, really."- Ginny stated.
"Actually I was planning to get something to eat, too. Well me, Lauren, Brad, Glenda and Carlos. Who are you with?"- Vicky asked.
"See, there's Lavender,"- she said pointing at Lavender, who waved happily -"Dean, Seamus, Hermione, you know, the usual crowd. Though we don't know where Neville is."- Ginny said, looking around in the crowd to see if he was anywhere near.
"Neville, oh I've just seen him dancing with Sue."- Vicky said nonchalantly.
"Sue? Who's she?"- Ginny said puzzled.
"Oh, she's my cousin who lives here. Look, she's over there."- she said pointing to a tall, blond and very pretty girl who seemed to be 17 or so, dancing with Neville
"Wow, that really is Neville. The guys will be shocked, I'm dying to see their faces when I tell them!"- Ginny told her friend.
Now the group was sitting in the sand, around their own bonfire.
"Guys, you wanted to know where Neville was, didn't you?"- Ginny said, accompanied by some of her fifth year friends.
"Yeah, why?"- Dean asked.
"He's there, just next to that skinny brunette, see?"- Ginny said
"But- he can't – he can't be!"- Dean said.
"Wow, look at the girl she's dancing with!"-Ron said astonished.
"She's my cousin, Sue."- Vicky said proudly.
"Sue-eet!"- Dean said, making everyone laugh.
"And she seems to be enjoying it and all!"- Lavender said.
"Okay, okay guys, mouths closed and no drooling here, please."- Hermione said, after Dean, Harry and Ron wouldn't take their eyes off the blond.
"Anyone a kiwi beer? Whoa, is that Neville!? And who is he dancing with?"- he said. Parvati was looking there, too.
"Close your eyes Finnigan and stop staring like a jerk!"- Parvati said not quite happy.
"Is my little Patil jealous?"- Seamus said and kissed Parvati, so she didn't care much about the incident anymore.
"Can I try one of those kiwi things you talked about Seamus?"- Ron asked
"Sure, and I brought this, too. Thought you might like it."- Seamus told them as he took a slice of pizza.
They each ate some pizza and had some kiwi chills, which, in Hermione's opinion, were much better than butterbeers. After talking a little more, Ginny's friends got up to dance, then Seamus and Parvati did, joining Dean and Lavender who were trying some crazy moves.
Then a slow song started and Ron stood up. Hermione recognized it as "Iris", a muggle song she loved.
"Wanna dance, Mione?"- he said, reaching out for her hand and taking her to the place where Seamus and Parvati were already dancing.
He took her by her waist, she flung her arms around Ron's neck, both looking to each others' eyes, their lips just a couple of inches apart, and started dancing slowly.
--Will they kiss? *evil laugh* I'm the only one who knows! Please review, tell me what you'd like to see, what you don't. Tell me what you liked and what you didn't. Tell me your opinion: should they kiss?? Don't tell me, I know what you're going to say…
Anyway, please review guys!!!
