            "Are you sure this is going to work?" Hermione whispered to Angelina at lunch. It had been three days since the girls had confronted Hermione.  After only an hour, they had her convinced that she had made a mistake. However, Ron's feelings for Hermione had complicated things, but suddenly, he was hanging around Padma, Pavarti's sister. After having a conversation with him, Hermione felt a million times better, and she was ready to try to talk George into forgiving her. The song had been Ginny's idea…

            Their sparkled costumes had been overnight owled from Alicia's house and the song had been picked out by Katie. "It's perfect!" she had squealed while they were listening to the Wizarding Wireless one afternoon. The plan was set for Thursday night, just after dinner. Fred and Harry would walk with George up to the tower as the girls waited in the common room. Most of the Gryffindors were in on the plan, so they were helping the girls coordinate it all.

            "Hermione… it's going to be fine. Everything is going to be great, and everyone is going to love it… especially George," Katie whispered, leaning in so that she wouldn't be overheard. "Just go to class, try to forget about it, and then meet us here at 3:30… Fred will nick us some food from the kitchen since we're skipping dinner, and then we will get dressed! It's going to be so much fun!" Angelina said, throwing her arm around Hermione's shoulder. Hermione's face relaxed into a smile and she said, "Alright you guys… I believe you." Ginny smiled at her, reaching across the table and squeezing her hand.

            Hermione was nervous. George wasn't ignoring her, but he really hadn't been talking to her. Whenever she smiled at him, he smiled back, although the twinkle was gone from his eyes. "Please forgive me, George," she whispered to his image in her head. Taking a deep breath, she walked out of her last class and made her way up the stairs to the Gryffindor common room. As soon as she stepped through the portrait hole, Angelina screamed excitedly and grabbed her arm, pulling her up to the 5th year girls' dormitory. Ginny, Alicia, and Katie were standing around in their underwear putting make up on each other and experimenting with hair potions and charms. "Oh, Ginny! That looks great!" Katie screeched, pointing at the charm Ginny had just performed to make her hair sparkle like it was full of glitter. Hermione's heart started to pound and tears filled her eyes. The girls all noticed and immediately stopped what they were doing. "Hermione! It's going to be okay! We're here for you!" Alicia said, running over to hug her.

            Finally dressed in their red beaded dresses with their hair full of glitter, the girls walked down to the common room. They were greeted by good natured catcalls and cheering. Everything was all set up; all they needed was George…

            "I think I might go work on this Potions essay," George sighed as he, Fred, and Harry walked up the stairs. Fred panicked. "Uh, you can't! I've got something I want to show you!" Fred said in a rush. "Yeah!" Harry chimed in, "A new article in Quidditch Weekly!" George sighed, "Okay, I didn't want to have to go to the library anyways." Breathing a sigh of relief, Fred caught Harry's eye as they stood in front of the Fat Lady. "Lily of the Valley," they all said in unison and the portrait swung open and Fred climbed in first, holding George back so Harry could climb in second. At last, they let George in and the lights suddenly dimmed.

*Start the song now if you're listening along!*

I really wanna be with you…   (Fade in)  Katie, Alicia, Angelina, and Ginny came walking swiftly to George, singing and smiling. They grabbed him and drug him over to a chair that had been set up. The whole common room at been rearranged, he now noticed.

I really wanna be with you…

I really wanna be with you…

I really wanna be with you…     After shoving him into the seat, they bounced off, still singing, and joined a curly haired witch whose back was to the crowd.

I really wanna be with you…

Suddenly, the witch turned around and George saw a familiar face looking at him. It was Hermione!

You and I   Hermione began belting out as the crowd cheered in surprise.

-You and I  The girls echoed

Two of a kind

-Two of a kind   Echo

A meeting of minds  Hermione sang to George in her fullest voice. George stared at her in shock.

The time of our lives

The perfect night

Our sight

As I look in your eyes

Never felt so right

I really want tonight to last forever  All five sang together.

I really wanna be with you  (Clap-Clap!)

I really want tonight to last forever

I really wanna be with you  (Clap-Clap!)

I really wanna be with you… The girls sang as Hermione walked up to George and caressed his face, smiling seductively.

I really wanna be with you…  George continued to stare at her in shock. Harry was too busy watching Ginny to notice.

Night and day   Hermione continued to belt out, surprising everyone with her voice.

-Night and day   Echo

Come what may

There's always change

Nothing stays the same

-Nothing stays the same   Echo

Who can say?

-Who can say?   Echo

What will come our way

Leave it all to fate

Let tomorrow wait

I really want tonight to last forever   All five sang together

I really wanna be with you   (Clap-Clap!)

I really want tonight to last forever

I really wanna be with you   (Clap-Clap!)

Tonight, yeah

-I really wanna be with you   The girls sang in the background.

Tonight, yeah

-I really wanna be with you

Tonight, yeah

-I really wanna be with you

Tonight, yeah

-I really wanna be with you

Let the music play on top of life tonight

-Tonight…   While the girls sang, Hermione walked over to George and kissed him on the cheek, smiling slyly.

-Tonight…

-Tonight…

-Tonight…

-Tonight…

-Tonight…

-Tonight…

-Tonight…

The perfect night   Hermione said, charming her voice to sound far away.

Out of sight

As I look in your eyes

Never felt so right

Ooh yeah

I really want tonight to last forever   All five sang together

I really wanna be with you   (Clap-Clap!)

Yeah    Hermione wailed in her normal voice.

I really want tonight to last forever   (Clap-Clap!)

I really want to be with you

Ooh yeah, Tonight

The girls sang the chorus and faded it away as Hermione once again walked over to George and sang to him.

I really want tonight to last forever

I really want to be with you

I really want tonight to last forever

I really want to be with you

I really want tonight to last forever

I really want to be with you

I really want tonight to last forever

            After the song was over and the Gryffindors had finished screaming, cheering, and patting Hermione and George on the back, Hermione finally got to talk to George for a second. "You mean that? What you said?" George said, struggling to talk over the loud crowd. "Yes! I mean it!" Hermione yelled over the crowd, her eyes sparkling behind all the mascara and glitter of her makeup. George hugged her happily, giving her a squeeze as he let go. "You did great, you know! You were awesome! You're going to have to do a song with me and Fred sometime!" he said, still having to shout. "I would love that! I never knew that I had the nerve for singing, but I guess I do!" she said, smiling. "And the talent, Hermione, you have the talent! Your voice is wicked!" George said, smiling so big his cheeks had begun to hurt. "Thanks!" she said, burying her face in his chest. Sighing in happiness, George rubbed the smooth skin of her bare back as she leaned into him. For the time being, life was great.
