The next evening Hermione was sitting there waiting for Neville. She had charmed her hair to be straight and black. She also charmed her eyes to be violet and was wearing a simple purple dress and had on purple eyeshadow.

"Where is he !" asked Hermione to no one in particular since no one was there. "He's already 30 min - "

She was cut off by the doorbell ringing. She opened it to find Neville there. Before she could say anything Neville started talking.

"I'm sorry I'm late Regina. My car wouldn't start and then I couldn't find the way here and - "

"It's ok, really. At least you got here. What time does the ballet start and where is it at?"

"It starts in exactly 1 hour and it's at the England Theatre.

"Ok. What do you say that we go walk around the town down there until it starts?

"Ok. Why not?"

They both get in Neville's car and take off for town. When they get there they look around in a flower/gift shop and a candy shop. Neville buys Hermione a rose and some chocolates that Hermione picked out. Hermione didn't want him to spend money on her but Neville insisted.

"Maybe we should go to the theatre Neville. It has to be about time for the ballet to start."

"Ok Regina. Your right. It's going to start in about 20 minutes."

Hermione and Neville go to the theatre and get seated right before the ballet starts. It is a version of Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. The play ends and Neville and Hermione go out for a light supper. Then Neville drives Hermione back to Ginny's.

"Thanks Neville. That was so much fun."

"Your welcome Regina. Please don't get mad at me but can I ask you something."

"Sure. Ask away."

"Do you mind if I kiss you?"

Hermione didn't know what to say and was slightly shocked. But she came out of it.

"Ok Neville. Yes, you may."

Neville leans over and kisses Hermione full on the mouth. They kiss for about 5 minutes and then Hermione pulls away.

"Bye Neville."

"Bye."

Hermione gets out of the car and Neville drives off. Hermione just stands on the porch and watches him drive away.
