Wohoo! Chapter 4! As a reward, I'm going to have fun with this one! *sly grin* Be prepared for this chapter to be a little, musical.

After ironically similar conversations in the different compartments, the train slowly came to a stop outside of Hogwarts. Hermione picked up her things, and motioned Ginny to follow her in her search for Harry. "Mione! Over here!" Harry waved to her. Smiling at the sight of her beloved, Hermione quickly arrived at Harry side and greeted him with a kiss on the cheek. The two looked longingly into each other's eyes feeling ecstasy with each passing minute, passion with every second.

"*Ahem*"Ron coughed. Shall we?" Ever sense the two got together, he was feeling more then ever like the 3rd wheel. Sensing he was uncomfortable, the three headed up to the castle.

Once they had entered the school, they took their usual seats at their table, and watched as the 1st years got sorted into the various houses. The sorting hat began to sing about the four different houses one could be put into, but then he added a very strange part to the end of his tune.

"Another year comes And another one leaves No time to do anything Or so it seems. We hustle about Doing things in a hurry Little do we know There is reason to worry. Excitement and new tasks Take over our lives And soon love to the old Is easy to deprive. Don't get caught in the lust And forget about love Because something so dear Is worth thinking of."

There was a confused, but still polite applause that came from the great hall after the hat had finished its song. "What was that about?" Harry whispered to Hermione. "Nooo idea." Hermione whispered back.

After the feast, the three headed up to their common room with the rest of the Gryffindors. Once they arrived, idle chatter filled the air. "That was a weird way to end the sorting hat song" said Ginny. "Don't forget about the love"? "What does he mean by that?" Everyone who was listening just shrugged and continued with their conversations. No one was really concerned about what the hat had said. "Well, I'm exhausted." Hermione yawned. "I'll see you all in the morning." "Night Mione." Harry said, and with a kiss, let her go off to her dormitory.

Before long, Hermione drifted off into a pleasant sleep, that is, until she heard the most hypnotic music. Without any consent from her brain, she got out of bed and was drawn to it, its volume increasing as she got closer to the great hall. She opened the doors to be greeted by someone, was it Lee Jordan? "Welcome Hermione! There's someone very special we'd all like you to meet!" He motioned to all the other witches and wizards around him. "Oh Gaston!?" "Gaston?" Hermione repeated. It sounded vaguely familiar. "Well who's this Gaston?" At this, an unexpected choir of voices sang

"NO ONE'S.. Quick as Gaston, No one's slick as Gaston, No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston."

"As a specimen yes I'm intimidating"

"My what a guy that Gaston!"

A very confused Hermione looked around for the owner of the soloist's voice, and her eyes were met of the most enticing man she'd ever seen. His eyes we're a deep brown that matched his curly, shaggy hair. He had the most dazzling smile Hermione had ever seen. He wasn't wearing wizard clothing, more muggle. He had on a short sleve shirt, obviously to show of his well sculpted, but not ripped body. It was enough to make her melt. The song continued:

"No one fights like Gaston Douses lights like Gaston In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston For there's no one as burly and brawny"

"As you see I've got biceps to spare"

"Not a bit of him scraggly or scrawny" (That's right!)

"And every last inch of me's covered with hair"

He gave her a definite wink, and slowly ascended the stairs to her side. Once he was there, he started another song:

"Look there she goes that girl is so peculiar
I wonder if she's feeling well
With a dreamy far-off look
And her nose stuck in a book."

Hermione was mesmerized, and before she knew it, she was dancing with this "beautiful stranger" and started singing herself.

"If I'm smart then I'll run away

But I'm not so I guess I'll stay

Haven't you heard?

I fell in love with a beautiful stranger

I looked into your face

My heart was dancing all over the place

I'd like to change my point of view

If I could just forget about you."

Gaston swept Hermione across the hall as if a magnificent dance floor. A feeling of pure bliss flooded over Hermione's thoughts and being. After what seemed a happy eternity of dancing, Gaston softly cooed into her ear, "I love you Hermione Granger." He gently kissed her, and waited for her response.

"I love you too Gast."

Light poured into the window above her four poster bed. She groggily rubbed her eyes and stared at the ceiling. It took her a while to recuperate. "It was only a dream" she said to herself. "Only a beautiful, wonderful dream."

Author's note: Ooooo look's like Hermione's got the hotts for a figment of her imagination. But is that really all he is? Stay tuned for the next chapter! Read and Review! ~me~
