"Oh my god!" Hermione was totally awestruck by the fact that, this was it. There final day at Hogwarts, ever. They had the dance for Grad this morning and they would get a special ceremony first thing in the morning for awards, speeches, etc.
"I know what you mean. I mean I can't believe it, and I still can't believe that when we took our practice NEWT's, Dumbledore gave me the real ones for doing so well. I get to graduate with you guys," Ginny said, he eyes glistening with tears.
(A/N: I know highly unlikely but I didn't have it in my heart to make her spend an entire year without her best friends)
"I know. I mean, this is it. We all leave tomorrow morning and it'll be so weird knowing that we aren't coming back" Padma agreed.
The three girls were up in Hermione's room getting ready for the Grad. Hermione was even letting them do her hair and make-up out of her own free will. She had never been this excited.
They talked and did their hair, make-up, etc.all day. They hadn't seen the boys since breakfast that morning, when they had told them to be ready by 4:30, because they had something planned.
Dumbledore had allowed a special trip to Diagon Alley and Muggle London so that people could choose what they wanted to wear.
After much looking Hermione finally found what she was looking for. It was a black, strapless dress that hugged every curve and flowed from the waist to the ankles. Padma and Ginny put her hair in simple ringlets covered in sparkles and silver eye shadow with jet black eye liner. That was it. Nothing else. But she looked stunning nonetheless.
Ginny was in a pale blue spaghetti-strap dress. Her eyes shone baby blue and she had a glowing smile to match it. She had on light lavender eye shadow with a bit of blue mixed in and silver eyeliner on the top lid.
Padma had on a very pale yellow dress with gold threads woven in. It was sleeveless and flowed around her ankles. She had brushed a light layer of gold eye shadow and sparkles over her cheeks. They were finally ready and for the first time ever, they were ready early. They still had half an hour before the boys were supposed to pick them up from Hermione's room.
~*~*~*~In Blaise's room~*~*~*~
They had been ready for over two hours and were now discussing what they were going to do that evening.
"So the plans set then? I'm going to join you correct?" Justin finalized.
"Yeah, but remember DO NOT let on that there's anything going on until after the final dance this evening, ok?" Draco reminded them.
"We know, we know" Blaise replied, but looked a million miles away.
"Come on, it's time to get the girls so we can take them out" Justin told them, already getting up off the bed.
When the girls opened the door, Draco was blown away. Here was the girl he loved more than anything on earth, who he would do anything for and for the first time ever, he was speechless.
She was.stunning, for lack of a better word. He had forgotten that she could look so pretty, he had gotten so used to her normal attire.
"You look.Wow" Draco stumbled over his words.
"Thanks" Hermione had a smile plastered across her features, a rare occurrence, no matter what was going on. "You don't look half bad yourself you know" she smirked.
"I know," he answered before capturing her in a kiss.
When they finally broke apart, Draco held out his hand to her.
"May I be your escort, milady?" a twinkle in his eye,
"You may"
Blaise, Justin and Draco each led their date into the common room. Blaise picked up a small book off the table.
"Please, lay one hand on the book and you shall find yourself in the most magnificent dining establishment in the area" he said formally.
Each laid a hand on it and the next thing they knew they where standing in a completely disserted restaurant.
"Did I not mention that we get it to ourselves?"
They took the three tables in the middle of the restaurant and a waiter appeared out of nowhere, collected their orders and left.
They were there until about 6:30, when Dumbledore had set up the next Port key for. They landed back in their Common Room and headed straight for the Great Hall. There had been a huge dinner there, but being that they were the top students, Dumbledore had given them permission to leave as long as they were back in time for the first dance.
The doors opened for them and every one in the hall was standing there waiting for them. They were all gathered around the dance floor and were now facing them.
They made their way to the dance floor and as soon as they were ready, a song came on.
~*~*~
Never thought it would be me,
Living in a shattered dream.
Could this be the end for me?
What I wouldn't give to have
A life to live, a day to plan
Instead I'll be forever seventeen
Could have lived out every dream
I could have been most anything
Can some one wake me up?
I haven't lived yet
I'm only seventeen
God did you forget
I'm just a baby?
And I don't want to be
Forever seventeen
I'll never have a bed to make
A test to take, a summer day
I'll be always be forever seventeen
I could have had a family
If things had worked out differently
Instead I'll be forever seventeen
Could I have just one more day?
A chance to learn from my mistakes?
Can someone wake me up?
I haven't lived yet
I'm only seventeen
God did you forget
I'm just a baby?
And I don't want to be
Forever seventeen
In the matter of a moment
Life fell before my eyes
And now I'm looking at the meaning of
The miracle of life
Where are we going without even knowing?
The answer is deep in side
.Forever Seventeen.
So don't give up.
You have lived yet.
Your only seventeen.
And God did not forget
Your just a baby.

Draco hugged Hermione close one last time before letting her go. He went over and got a drink and when he glanced up he saw Harry and Ron looking at Hermione while she stood to the side with the others.
He could tell by the looks in their eyes that it was killing them to see her having a good time with someone other then them but yet they were glad to see her so happy. He knew that they longed to go and talk to her but they had made a promise to let her make the first move towards a renewed friendship and they intended to stick by it.
He turned his eyes to the girl he had brought with him tonight. He could see the difference in her in an instance. She was glowing and she had never looked so happy in all the years that he had known her. He gave her immense credit for coming out on the other side of this year without barely a scratch on her.
He loved her and there was no other way to describe the way he felt. He also knew that there was no other way to explain what he, Blaise and Justin were going to do. He headed back over to Hermione and handed her her drink.
He could feel someone's eyes on him and knew that it was the spy but at this moment he couldn't careless. He just wanted to treasure this carefree moment with his best friends and the love of his life.
