YOUR TOUCH MAKES ME SHIVER

Chapter 29: Many memories to keep

"Very nice speech, my dear, congratulations!" Mrs. Weasley hugged Hermione.

"Thank you very much." Hermione replied.

"I have a gift for you, here..." Mrs. Weasley gave a box to her. "Open it, dear."

"Wow, this is very nice. You shouldn't have. This is expensive." Hermione held a beautiful dress robes.

"That is really for you. I saw that in Ron's room. With this..." Mrs. Weasley gave her the card.

Hermione,

Happy Graduation! I know you will be the outstanding student this year so I bought the dress robes early and I decided to give it to you tonight. I hope you like it. Wear it now in the farewell dance...I hope I will be the first one to dance with you.

Ron

"He bought that last year." Mrs. Weasley added.

"Ron...He..." Hermione didn't know what to say.

"He loves you so much, Hermione." Mrs. Weasley said.

"He even gave his life for me." Hermione answered.

"Yes, dear and that...makes me so proud to have a son like him." Mrs. Weasley sobbed.

"I'm very sorry, Mrs. Weasley." Hermione touched her shoulder.

"No, you opened my eyes that I have a son to be thankful of. Even he's gone, he's memories will always stay." Mrs. Weasley replied.

"Yes, he will be a big part of my life...our lives." Hermione said and Mrs. Weasley nodded.

"If he's here...he surely is eating and ravishing himself with the delightful dinner tonight maybe we should go now to the Great Hall and find Harry...Ron also has his gift for him." Mrs. Weasley said.

"We should, madam. So let's go." Hermione led Mrs. Weasley.

After the dinner, the farewell dance followed...

"As of tradition, may we call on the Head Boy and Girl to lead the Farewell Dance." Dumbledore said and the music played.

"Can I?" Draco suddenly came to her and asked.

"Surely" Hermione gave her hand to him.

Hermione was wearing the dress robe Ron gave her. It was a red velvet robe with gold trimming at the bottom. Draco was wearing his usual high-collared dress robe but his wearing now the crest of Slytherin.

Hermione traced the snake crest pinned in his chest. He didn't even bother to take his eyes off her.

"Congratulations, Draco." Hermione said.

"Same to you." Draco replied.

"You're a good dancer." Hermione said.

"You too." Draco answered.

"We are..." They both said in unison.

"Uhh..you first." Draco said.

"How are you feeling right now?" Hermione asked.

"I'm alright." Draco replied.

"Uhhh...I...miss you, Draco." Hermione said.

Draco just smiled. "I..."

The music stopped and applaused surrounded the hall.

Draco hugged her tight but he released her quickly. "Goodbye, Hermione."
