Hermione passed her NEWTs with flying colors as expected. She did
only a little better than Draco. Harry Ron and Lavender all passed with
average marks, but they were just glad they passed. All that lay ahead of
them now was graduation. They only had a couple days left. They weren't
afraid of saying goodbye to each other. They would all be family. But
they would have to say goodbye to everyone else. . .including Dumbledore
and the rest of the teachers. It would also be hard to say goodbye to
Hogwarts. This castle had been their home away from home. There would be
a ball to make the whole process a little easier. All years were invited
to say goodbye to the seventh years.
The group headed off to Hogsmeade. They were not buying any new robes for this ball, but it was one last time they would go as students. They wanted to cherish these memories as they would not come often in the future. The six walked over to the Three Broomsticks and sat down at a large table. Madam Rosmerta took their order for butterbeer and Draco ordered a lot more food as the rest just stared at him.
"What? I just thought my friends might be hungry so I thought I would treat them to some food" he said with a smile. The rest just smiled back at him. It was odd how he had changed his whole attitude after being with Hermione. He was becoming like them more and more everyday. The six sat at the table for well over an hour reminiscing about their past seven years at Hogwarts.
"Harry, remember our first kiss?" Ginny asked.
"How could I ever forget. It was raining and you came out for quidditch practice. You slipped and fell in the mud. You looked so cute how could I help but kiss you." Harry replied simply. She smiled back at him and he took her hand in his not taking his gaze from her eyes.
"Hermione? Remember our first dance?" Draco asked. "It's my favorite memory."
"We haven't had any ball, when did you dance?" Ron asked.
"You don't need music to dance. It was just me and Hermione. It was under the stars after I proposed. I sang her a song as we danced."
"Ooh what did you sing?" Lavender asked starting to giggle uncontrollably. He looked into Hermione's eyes and began to quietly sing the song.
" I look into your eyes I try to read your thoughts I ask you to go with me To a far off place You and me dancing the night away You can feel my heart beating so hard On a moonlit walk on the beach Watching the sunrise for the first time I'm in a trance Give me one slowdance"
"Oh Draco, that was beautiful" Lavender continued. But the couple couldn't hear her. Draco had pulled Hermione to her feet and they began dancing to the song once more. "That is so sweet. Look at them. They are lost in their own world. They really belong together." Lavender said.
"Makes you wonder why we were such prats about it" Ron continued. "I think he really has changed. I still don't like him, but he does treat her right."
Draco kissed Hermione once more and ended their dance. The two sat back down looking slightly embarrassed after realizing what they had just done.
"We should probably be getting back" Hermione said looking slightly pink in the face. They all stood up and headed out the door. They chatted the whole way up to the castle. Upon arriving at the entrance hall Hermione had an idea.
"Why don't all you guys sleep in our dorm tonight. It will be like a campout."
"Great idea Mione." Harry said. The four headed up to Gryffindor to grab some things then went back to the head dorm.
Draco said the password to the giggling portrait and they filed into the cozy common room. Immediately they all felt at home. They had started a fire in the fireplace and spread spare blankets on the floor. They each laid about the floor and formed a circle.
Lav suggested "Let's play truth or dare!"
"Uhh Lav, I don't know" Ginny said.
"Oh well you know we won't dare so it will just be Truth or Truth. Come on it will be fun".
"Fine Lav, go ahead." Ron said.
"Ok. . . let me think. . . ok I got it. Harry have you and Ginny. . . uhh. . well you know?"
"Lav!"
"Well I never hear anything but you must be doing something in that big bed".
"That's because I know how to do a proper silencing charm" Harry said with a laugh. They all giggled although Ron look slightly embarrassed.
"So the rumor about the silencing charm was true then?" Draco asked looking shocked that a Weasely was getting some action. Ron's face proceeded to a bright shade of red as Harry confirmed the rumor trying to suppress his laughter.
"Ok who's next?" Lav asked.
"I got one" Ginny spoke up. "Herm? Is Draco a good kisser"
"Rumor has it I'm even better than Potter" Draco answered with a smirk.
"Ok Malfoy, how many girls have you been with, and you know what I mean." Harry asked him. The game was getting intense.
"That's simple. Just one. I have quite a reputation thanks to all the girls that want what they can't have. I promise to you that Hermione is my first, last, and everything in between".
"Aww that is so romantic." Lavender said with a dreamy look in her eye.
"Well Drake, off to bed. My room or yours?"
"Let's go to mine. Potter and Ginny can have your room. I wouldn't want them to be here when Ron tries that silencing charm again" Draco said with a laugh.
Draco and Hermione went up the room and he quickly helped her out of her robes, vest, and tie. He threw her a t-shirt to wear to bed. She helped him out of his clothes until he remained in only his silky green boxers. He pulled back his green velvet covers and they snuggled into bed together. Draco gently kissed the top of her head and they both drifted off to sleep. He had a great day and he only hoped it could get better.
A/N: ok again it's short, but it's ok. I go to college in a week, so I will be done with this story before that. So I hope you enjoy this chap. The next one should be up soon.
