CH.2 "Dancing on the clouds"

Hermione was in her room frantically looking for her gold earrings, knocking things over and mumbling under her breath. She turned around and hit the lamp by accident. it fell over and made a loud crash that startled her. Hermione screamed and Ron rushed in her room.

"ALRIGHT WHOEVER IS IN HERE BETTER COME OUT BECAUSE I'M GONNA MESS YOU UP!" he yelled and looked around the room. seconds later Harry was at his side with a confused look on his face.

"What the HELL happened. were you attacked?" Harry asked looking at Ron who was walking around the trashed room looking behind the closet door. Hermione looked at them as if they were out of their minds.

"I was looking for my earrings and I accidentally hit my lamp, it fell and scared me, I screamed" Hermione said slowly

"Hermione, your earrings are on the kitchen counter" Harry said relieved. Ron stared at Hermione

"You know. I was getting ready to seriously kick some ass" Ron said shaking his head walking to her

"Yes, Ron.no need to worry really.thank you though" Hermione said hugging Ron. "And you Mr. Potter, I think you were a little late on 'saving' me" Hermione joked and walked over to hug him "but I forgive you"

"I fell running over" he confessed and rubbed his knee. Harry smiled at Hermione and kissed her forehead. "But, if I didn't fall, I would have been here before Ron" he laughed

*~*~* one month later *~*~*

"Harry, hurry up would you!" Lavender shouted impatiently waiting with Ron and Hermione. They were going to a formal party.Hogwarts was inviting their whole year to meet up again. Lavender was in a long, flowing black shimmery dress, low-cut, strappy sandals with her hair up in a French twist.Ron in a black suit, black shirt and a maroon tie, his hair gelled a bit (spiked). Hermione was in a black, strapless cocktail dress that had an emerald green ruffle slip (that made it poofy from the hips down) that showed maybe an inch, high strappy sandals that laced up to her mid calf. Harry finally came out in a black suit, emerald green shirt and a black tie.

"Honestly Harry, what took you so long?" Hermione asked

"Like you never take a long time to get ready" Harry joked back. what he was really doing was practicing to tell Hermione that he loved her. He gazed at Hermione, she looked so beautiful in her dress, her hair was straight for tonight, he took Hermione's arm, and they walked out the door.

*~*~*

When they got to the party, they were greeted by warm smiles and waves. Someone came over very un-expected. Draco Malfoy came over to Hermione

"Granger, hello how are you?" he asked sweetly. Hermione as well as the rest of them were very confused, was this really Malfoy talking to Hermione, being nice? No, I could not be.

"Umm, I'm fine thanks" Hermione replied hesitantly "why do you ask?"

"Can't an old classmate come and see how you are Hermione?" he asked. Draco just called Hermione.Hermione.what was up with that? She smelled liquor on his breath

"Draco, obliviously you wouldn't care less, if you weren't drunk" Hermione smiled and patted him on the shoulder. She took Harry's arm and went to the dance floor. They danced so many dances together. Now they were slow dancing and Harry finally got up the courage.

A/N: will Harry tell Hermione he loves her? Will she accept? Does she love him too? Find out I the next chap! Hehee
