An Evening To Remember

The Christmas Dance was just a couple of days away and everyone seemed busy. The teachers were trying to put up all the decorations and teach students that didn't pay any attention. Meanwhile, the students were busy finding out who was going with who, what they planed on wearing, and if the boys were allowed to ask Professor Delacour.
Harry had asked Holly to the dance and she had said yes. She seemed happy that he asked her but her face had been pale and she looked a little sick. Harry had seen that look on someone's face before, but he couldn't remember whose. Hermione was going with Ron, but he didn't know that yet. He had written her letters a couple of times (given to her by Harry) and what he wrote made Hermione like him even more. In his letters he was so charming. And Ron was going with his secret admirer. Since he didn't know who it was, he didn't have much to go on. All he did know was that if this girl was anything like she was in her letters in real life, he would really like her. His thoughts always came back to what about Hermione? (grins)
Then before anyone knew it the Christmas Dance was here. Hermione had written another note to Ron, telling him to meet her in the Great Hall at eight, and Harry had also told Holly to meet him at eight.
At seven thirty Harry, Ron, and Hermione, headed down to the Great Hall. Harry was wearing dark green robes that went great with his eyes and he even attempted to tidy his hair. Ron was wearing dark blue robes that made his red hair really stand out. Hermione was wearing light purple robes. She had also straightened her hair and put it in a bun with a few strands hanging down; she really tried hard to look nice; all for Ron.
When they got to the Great Hall, they were amazed. Instead of the four house tables there were many small circular tables. There were also twelve tall Christmas trees decorated with everything you could imagine; candles, icicles, lights, candy canes, and much, much more. Even fairies were there, stopping every now and then over unexpectant couples, carrying mistletoe.
Harry soon saw Holly and went over to join her, with Ron and Hermione following. Ron however, was getting impatient.
"Where's my date? It's already five passed eight. You don't think she stood me up?" Ron asked, now a little nervous.
"Don't worry," Harry said smiling," she's here."
"Where! Where!" Ron screamed with excitement.
"Here," Hermione said, slightly blushing.
Harry and Holly got the hint and left. They decided to take a walk around the lake. After some time of silence, Holly said, "It's really nice outside tonight."
"Yeah," Harry said, looking up at the stars.
"Thanks for taking me to the dance," Holly said.
"Anytime," Harry said smiling. "And thank you for saying yes when I asked you to it."
"Anytime," Holly said, now smiling too.
"I was wondering if you wanted to do something next weekend." Harry asked.
"Oh," Holly said, "Um, well, next weekend I am going to go see my grandmother. She hasn't been feeling to well lately."
Wait a minute, Harry thought, next weekend was....................

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Ron & Hermione*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ron and Hermione were sitting at a table talking about the whole situation.
"So you're my secret admirer?" Ron asked.
"Yep," said Hermione, "but at least I didn't break our deal."
"True," said Ron," but I didn't get to ask the girl I liked."
"Who would that be?" Hermione asked.
"You."
"Are you serious?!" Hermione asked with excitement.
"Yea," answered Ron, his ears going slightly red.
Then before they knew, a fairy was above them, and holding mistletoe.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Harry & Holly*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Next weekend was a full moon! And when Harry had asked Holly to the dance, her face had been pale and she looked sick, and the next day had been a full moon. Then it hit him. Holly was a werewolf.
Holly was looking at him and saw by the look on his face that he had figured out her secret.
Harry looked at her and asked, "Holly are you a werewolf?"
Holly just nodded and then she said, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I thought that if I did, you wouldn't like me anymore."
"It doesn't matter to me that you're a werewolf," Harry said.
"Thanks," Holly said, "you don't know how much this means to me."
Harry then pulled her into a hug and they stayed in each others arms for the rest of the night.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Ron & Hermione*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hermione and Ron looked up and started laughing; they then looked at each other. Then Ron leaned over and kissed her. It was a quick peck on the lips and to Ron it tasted like raspberry lip-gloss, but to both of them it was amazing, no, more like magical. I mean how many people can say that they got a kiss from their crush? Not many.
"Would you like to dance?" Ron asked.
"Sure," Hermione answered, taking his hand.
They spent the rest of the night dancing in each others arms.
