Chapter 10

The Yule Ball

            It was the day before the Yule Ball. Lavender was able to leave the Hospital Wing. It was a joyous day. Ron was extremely happy that Lavender was fine. He did loose his temper once today; we were in the common room. Ron was sitting across from Lavender in a winged chair. He was staring at her, he seemed pissed off. Not everyone was back yet from vacation.

"DAMN HIM!!! IS IT MINE?? TELL ME IT'S MINE LAVENDER!!!" Ron screamed. He was crying again, and he threw himself on the floor and wrapped his arms around her waist. He put his face gently on her belly. "Is it mine? Is it mine Lavender?" Ron said in a whisper. Lavender lifted his face in her hands, one hand on each side of his face.

"The baby that is in me is yours; I can feel your soul, your heart beat, and your love coming from within me from this baby. Yes, it is your child, I know because I can feel a part of you inside me." Lavender said this in a serious tone. Ron cried again.

"I love you Lavender, I'm so sorry you had to go through what Malfoy did to you. I love you."

"I love you too Ron, thank you for being my husband."

I stood and watched this scene by the dorm stairs. Harry has been a bit nervous for some reason lately, so I decided to give him a little space. Harry came down the Boy's stair holding a small box, he hid it quickly.

"Hey love, what's going on?" Harry asked, he just came out of shower, the smell of his soap made me feel warm inside, I almost felt like dragging him back to his dorm and locking the door for about four hours.

I smiled and kissed him.

"Nothing much, I was wondering maybe we can hurry and get a quick Christmas Eve Lunch." Harry nodded. Ron had gathered himself together, Lavender was about three months into her pregnancy, she complained of her breasts being sore last night, Madam Pomfrey put a warm cloth on them, not wanting to us magic on her yet. Now, she was complaining of hunger.

"Yes, I know sweetie, you're hungry, c'mon guys." Ron said.

We left the common room, Ginny came rushing past them, and she looked upset.

"Ginny?" Ron asked worried, he grabbed her wrist.

"I swear Ron, I'm not stupid, but I think I love him, you can't tell me what to do, now let go of me!" Ginny, said looking pissed.

"Ginny…?" Ron let go of her. Ginny spun around.

"I know he's not all that great to you, but I think I love him Ron. He's the only person that makes me feel grown. He won't hurt me, he loves me. I gotta go." And with that, Ginny went through to the common room. The Fat Lady picture looked down at them, she shook her head slowly from side to side.

The Day of the Yule Ball

It was 6 o' clock, the Ball was about to start in half an hour. I looked in my mirror at myself. There were red shadows under my eyes from crying. I put some blush on my cheeks, the eyeliner, lipstick, eye shadow, and then my silver dress that Draco picked out for me. It accentuated my curves. Ron was still on my mind. All he wanted was to protect me. But I was not going to be treated like a child anymore. Draco helped me see this. I remember the day in the closet. He pulled me in, his hands on me was wonderful, it's like he knew exactly where to touch me. His kisses where gentle and exhilarating, his warm hands on my back, on my breasts, and my ass. He didn't rush me into sex, but, I knew that tonight would be the night.

I slipped inside of the dress; it was made of pure Chinese silk. There would be no bra tonight, and no panty lines either. I felt sexy, I felt, for the first time in my life that I was a woman, not a little girl. My hair looked beautiful; I had tight curls cascading down my back.  I put on my matching shoes and went down to the common room.

***

I looked at my clock, then at the mirror. Whoa….makeup, something I didn't use often. I looked at my cheeks, should I put on blush? Harry wouldn't notice, why bother? He loves me without makeup. I took out my lipstick and eye shadow and applied the makeup onto my face. Lavender was behind me putting on her shoes. She twirled in her lavender colored dress.

"How do I look?"

I looked at her in the mirror.

"You look beautiful Lavender that color really works with you."  She laughed, I returned back to my makeup. When I was done I stood up to put on my shoes, they were green heels, and it matched my dress. I walked to my bed and picked up my dress, I slipped it over my head and immediately the fabric stretched over my skin, but not too tight. My curves on my body were showing, I looked in the mirror, wonderful. I put a see through short green robe on. My hair was wavy and down my back. Lavender and I went down to the common room.

***

"So… are you feelin' nervous?" Ron asked combing his hair.

"Yes…definitely, what if I stutter, or drop it?" Harry was holding a small black velvet box. He opened it and inside was a engagement ring, the diamond was large and it glittered in the light.

"She'll love it man, it's gorgeous." Ron got up to sit next to Harry.

"She'll say yes, why wouldn't she? Right?"

"You're right, I love Hermione, and she loves me too, but I'm so nervous."

"Hey, it's a normal feeling."

"Yeah."

They left to the common room.

***

Harry looked fantastic tonight; he had on long red robes and a Santa Clause hat. He was so cute. Ron had on green robes and a green hat on. He held mistletoe above himself and Lavender, they kissed each other. Harry wrapped his arms around my waist and kisses me.

"Marry Christmas Honey."

"I love you Harry." I hugged him.

I felt so good tonight. I turned to say something to Lavender when I saw Ginny coming down the stairs. She looked amazing. She had on a long silver dress with matching shoes, the dress looked extremely tight, and I could tell that she wasn't wearing her bra, her nipples showed through her dress. Ron's face turned red. I could tell that he wanted to say something; he wanted to burst, grab Ginny and lock her in her room until she turned 35. But he couldn't, and wouldn't. He knew it was up to her to make the right choices about her life. She walked right past us without saying anything.

***

I walked past my brother and his friends. Not paying any attention to them. I realized that almost every male turned their head to look at me. I smiled and waved like I was a beauty queen. I left the common room in search of Draco. He was down the hall, dressed in silk black robes. When he saw me he grinned and slipped his hands down my front side and then my back to my rear end. I felt hot all inside.

"Not now." I said quietly, closing my eyes.

"Ok." He started to wrap his arm around my waist but stopped, he took my hand instead. I guess this gesture was strange to him. I smiled up at him. He looked down at me and said-

"You're Beautiful, and you deserve a man, not a little boy."

***

On the dance floor Harry was great, he surprisingly moved with grace. During the slow songs I would rest my head on his chest and listen to his heartbeat. I felt complete with Harry. I love him so much, the warmness coming from him made me feel sexy and wanted. I lifted my head to kiss him, his lips on mine felt heavenly. I loved the way his hands caressed my skin, the feel of his mouth on my breasts, the feel of my hands in his hair, the feel of him inside me, and the feel of him cuddled next to me, I loved it, I love him, he's my Harry. He bent down to say something to me.

"Follow me." Was his only words. He took me by the hand and led me out of the Great Hall, down the halls out of the entrance to the grounds. I looked up at the sky, the stars were out, and they were so beautiful, each twinkle made me shiver. Harry put a warming charm on us both. He pulled me into a hug, and looked down at me, I felt lost in his eyes, and then I felt safe and loved, I smiled.

"Hermione, my love for you is…beyond words. Every time I look into your lovely brown eyes I feel, complete and so much in love. Not even a thousand years of love would cover all of my love for you. When ever I see you coming down the hall toward me, or smiling up at me, or anything my heart beats fast, and I knew immediately what it was, it was love. And the first night we were together still plays over and over in my mind. God Hermione, you make me feel like the luckiest boyfriend in the world. Hermione, I want to love you forever, marry me Hermione?" Harry got down on one knee and pulled out a small black velvet box, he opened it and inside was a twinkling star. It was a large diamond ring. My knees felt weak and I feel to the ground in front of him.

"Oh Harry…Of course I'll marry you, I love you so much Harry!" I threw my arms around him, I was blinded by tears.

"I love you too, Merry Christmas Hermione."

"Merry Christmas Harry."

I stood in front of Draco, naked. He looked me up and down. We were in his dorm, it was empty, and he made sure the door was lock. I felt cold, his stare made me shiver. His gray eyes almost looked silver. What was I doing? I'm about to lose the most precious thing to me to Draco Malfoy. He moved toward me. He put his lips on my breasts. It felt so good. His sucked on them slowly. I moaned uncontrollably. He smiled. He reached out a hand to caress my ass; I flinched because his hand was cold. I wanted to scream, he made me feel so good. He was naked now, I wondered when that happened, but I didn't care. I explored his body; I thought it was silly that we were still standing, so I led him to the bed. I wanted to feel kinky even more. He lay on his back, his dick was hard. I wrapped my hand around it, he moaned. I put my mouth on it. I sucked, slurped and was damned good at it. He moaned and moaned in pleasure. I stopped. No, I wanted to have sex with him, not oral sex. I got up and sat on top of him. He grabbed my waist.

"Ok…We're gonna do this slowly, this might hurt, so, I'll give you a few minutes to adjust." He said.

"Ok." I prepared myself, I gritted my teeth. He eased into me, slowly. The pain sheared through me, I cried out, it felt like hell. In a few minute I felt better, I rode him to climax. When it was over, I felt so tired.

"Ginny, we have to go back to the Ball." He said getting up.

"Oh, but Draco, can't we just rest for awhile, maybe we might have a little more fun." I whined.

"I'm sorry, but I think your brother might go looking for you. Here, we'll take a quick shower, get dress and go back to the party. It's only 9. When the Ball is over we can sneak somewhere." He said this leaning over the side of the bed; he kissed me gently on the lips.

About half an hour later we returned to the Ball, as we danced, I whispered to him.

"I Love you." He looked down at me, searching my eyes, he didn't have to, the expression was all over my face.

"I love you too Ginny." He said, he was honest about it too, he's never felt like this before.
