A/n: Okay, it's been a very long time since I have updated my stories and I am so sorry. It's because of those evil teachers, NOOOOOOO! It's because they give us a lot of projects and homework so I don't have a lot of ideas. Hope you'll like this (",)

Chapter Three: After Graduation.

Harry was looking for Hermione and finally found her talking and shaking hands with all the professors and their other classmates. "Congratulations Miss Granger" is a phrase you would always hear if you would go near Hermione. And as soon as Hermione spotted Harry looking for something after shooing his fan club away and she immediately said

"May I be excused?"

"Yes you may Miss Granger however be sure to return in no longer that ten minutes."

"Yes Professor McGonagall." Hermione replied to the head of the house where she belonged. She walked past all of the students, who greatly looked up to her, like they where nothing, for all that mattered to her was. Harry.

Harry who found Hermione was now confused, one moment he saw her next thing he knows she's gone. "Shoot, if only Ginny and her fan club of the 'Great Gryffindor Seeker-Harry Potter' just left me alone I could have asked Hermione to dance with me." He muttered under his breath.

Suddenly he felt a pair of gentle hands covering his eyes and a sweet voice whispered to his ear "Guess who?"

"Um, Ginny"

"No"

"Parvati"

"Nope"

"Lavender"

"That's not me"

"Susan Bones"

"Guess again"

"A member of the 'Great Gryffindor Seeker-Harry Potter'"

"Na-ah, give up?"

"Nope, but give me a clue"

"I kissed you on your cheek when we were still in fourth year"

"Really? I don't remember anyone doing that."

"You don't remember" she had sadness in the tone of her voice and put her hands down

"Just kidding you, of course I do, Herm." Harry turned around to see the girl, no the woman he loved.

"Now what was that muttering 'I wish Ginny and her. Uh, what was that again?" Hermione said, as she got confused with her own words.

"Uh, uh, uh, n-n-no-nothing"

"Hmm." She looked at a shaking Harry from head to toe and touched his forehead.

"You don't seem like you have a fever. Now, what are you hiding from me?" She asked suspiciously

"M-m-me h-hide a-anything fro-from y-you? Ho-how did you get an i-idea as crazy as t-that? Y-you know I wouldn't." Harry replied with a red face and later thought

'Oh good one, Potter. Why can't you just say care to dance with me?'

"Potter, I knew you for let's say about seven years and you still think you can hide something from me?" And yet his innocent green eyes could always let him get away with it.

"Oh, all right just call me when you need me, the professors are waiting, bye." She bid him goodbye, which ended with a flying kiss and a wink.

"W-wait" he held her wrist lightly

"Huh?"

"Nice speech back there."

'Oh good one Harry James.' Harry thought

"Thanks, Harry. Well, see you"

"Stop!"

"What?"

"C-can you."

"Can I what?"

"Canyoudancewithmetonight?"

"The who the what the when the where the how and the huh?" (A/N: Okaaay. My classmate came up with that.)

"Canyoudancewithmetonight?"

"Put some space in your words, Harry."

'Okay Potter it's now or never.'

"Hermione, c-could I have the next dance?" Now Harry was as red as tomato, as he looked down and waited for an answer, but he stopped shaking.

"Uh-uh um I-I g-guess. B-but I'll have to t-tell the p- professors first." Now she was the one who was shaking.

Hermione went to the professors and asked them if she could be excused.

"Yes Miss Granger you may, but only for the dance there is something we need to talk about. It's about you and for the future of our world." Professor McGonagall told her most respected student.

'Huh? I wonder what the professor talking about now?' She thought as she said

"Thank you, professor"

"Anytime Miss Granger, anytime." McGonagall told her

"So I guess I'll see you later, Miss Granger, oh and may that be in Professor Dumbledore's office." She added

"Yes, professor"

Hermione neared Harry with a blush. "Care to dance, my lady?"

"Why of course, dear lad."

"Hey!"

"I know Harry just trying to make you look young"

"You know I'm older than you by exactly a month and eighteen days."

"Okay fine, whatever."

Harry warned Hermione before they danced "Uh, Herm, I have to tell you I'm not that good at dancing."

"Don't worry I'll teach you." Hermione reassured him.

"Just Follow me, and a one two three step. Ouch!" After Harry stepped on Hermione's foot they bumped into another couple that glared at them.

"Sorry, Herm. Look, maybe dancing just isn't my thing, so I'm sorry I brought you on the dance floor and just humiliated you in front of everyone." But she held his arm and led him back to the dance floor

"Wait, Harry. Come on it's all right I don't expect you to be good right away. You just started, and we both know it takes time to learn some things. Okay?"

"Well, I g- guess."

"Here, let's start one, two, three. And one, two, three" Harry was starting to get this dancing right

'Hmn. this was easier than I thought.'

"Harry, now you're doing it. See? I told you that you could do it."

"Yeah, I can" Harry said with much enthusiasm.

(A/n: Doesn't this seem familiar? *smirks* then looks at Squall and Rinoa*)

So they danced and danced until Harry led Hermione to the balcony. They talked there for about a minute or so, and then they got silent.

Harry looked at Hermione's face looking up at the fireworks and later she looked at his emerald coloured spheres.suddenly their faces came near each other. As their lips were about to touch Hermione turned away.

"What's the matter?" Harry asked and added

"It's me isn't it?"

"No, Harry! It's just that. I'm not ready to jump in to another relationship with another guy. Especially after you know, my experience with Ron."

"Well, don't worry.I'll wait." So Harry pulled Hermione into a warm, and friendly embrace. And Hermione did no action to show resistance. And all of a sudden they herd a scream

"Aaaahhhh!!!!"

A/N: Hehehe. A cliffy woo-hoo and I think I just added a little action and adventure to this story with a teensy hint of drama but still a romance fic!
