Secrets Unfold
Chapter 4
The Dance
When they got to the Great Hall doors, Ron muttered, "Did I tell you, you look nice," he muttered nervously. "Yes, Ron. Listen just relax, just have fun," she rolled her eyes, took him by the arm and walked in.
Right when they walked in they found Harry and Melissa dancing to a song no one knew. "How'd you get here before us?" Ron asked suspiciously. "Ya'll are slow," he muddled out of breathe. "Remember Ron we ran into Malfoy? That sorta slowed us down." "Oh, yeah, I just guess I tried to drill that out of my mind." Harry excused himself and pulled Ron to the side, "Have you seen Hermione?" Ron had completely forgot about that, when he saw Angela it sort of left his mind. "Uh, no and I hope I don't!" Harry gave a confused expression and Ron just wiped it off and went to Angela. At this time EvanEssance's song Wake Me Up was playing (I couldn't think of any "wizard" songs, sorry), "You wanna dance?" Ron asked. They walked into the middle of the dance floor and Ron found out Angela was a great dancer, "Where'd you learn to dance?" "Oh, being part muggle has its advantages. You're pretty good yourself." Ron's ears turned a little red, but it quickly went away.
After the song, Harry ran up to Ron and screamed, "DID YOU SEE WHO HERMIONE WAS HERE WITH!?!?" "I don't want to," he said honestly. "No, I think you ought to see this." And with that he pulled Ron to the very corner of the dance floor. Ron tried to get away, but Harry was a lot stronger than he looked. Then there on the dance floor was standing Hermione Granger holding the hand of CRABBE!!! "O-MY-GOD!" Ron said. Although he knew who it was going to be, he didn't want to see them together. Hermione spotted Harry and Ron and ran up to them with a grand smile on her face, dragging Crabbe along with her. "Hey, guys, now stop guessing! This is my date," she said as she pushed him forward. He gave a dumb founded expression and gave a chuckle. "Uh..I got to go pee," he exclaimed. "O-o-o-k," Hermione said disgusted. "Why!?!?" "I knew you wouldn't understand!" "We would like to!" Harry couldn't take it he left and went dance with Melissa. "I just like him, yeah he's got some brain problems, but he's a really sweet guy," she said as if trying to convince herself as well. "Ok, whatever!" "Wait don't go, I just wanted to see if you and Harry would let him be friends with us?" "We'll talk about it, but let us just have a good-night, so no fighting or anything, alright?" "Deal," a slow song had just come on and Hermione ran to find Crabbe.
Ron went to Angela and asked for a dance, of course she said yes, "So, how's your night going?" "Fine, but its only 8:30 we have 3 hours and 30 minutes." "Oh, that's nice," he said because he didn't really want to know how long the night was going to be. "So, where do you live?" "In the muggle realm if that's what you're asking." "Actually, I meant where in the muggle realm, cause I've been there a couple times," he laughed. "Oh! Well in that case, Number 7 Privet Drive." "Are you serious?" "Yeah?" "No, I just meant that that's where Harry lives, Number 4 Privet Dr." "Oh, cool, I didn't know that!" she exasperated. Angela put her head down on Ron's shoulder, while Ron tried to keep his hands from falling asleep and slipping.
When they finished, Ron saw Hermione and Crabbe just letting go of each other and Ron almost went barf again. "Ron, are you okay? You keep looking at Hermione." "Oh, sorry, it's just she kept a very bad secret from me and Harry and we just found out tonight." "Oh, ok," she forgave him and they both went to get some punch.
Later that night, at around 10:00, everything was still going smoothly, although Ron and Harry had frequent meets between songs to discuss Hermione. After another slow song, Ron and Angela went to get some more punch, when Ron glanced out the door leading to outside. There was a moonlit walkway leading to a bench surrounded by roses and fountains. When Ron took a second glance he noticed that Harry and Melissa were out there too. They were sitting on the bench and Harry was leaning in for a kiss, at that second Ron heard an, "Ow!" Melissa had just slapped Harry for trying to kiss her. "Oops," Ron muttered realizing that that was mostly his fault and took Angela back onto the dance floor.
"Hew," said Angela while she wiped her forehead, "I'll think I'll sit this one out." "Ok," Ron said a little too enthusiastically. He was sweating, his feet hurt, and he was very hungry. He looked at his watch to find out that it was 11:00 and the dance was going to end in an hour. Ron was a little disappointed, but then again happy. Again Ron went look out at the pathway, to see if anymore couples were out there, but instead he found, again, the one he didn't really want to see. Malfoy and Pansy were out there talking and Ron seen the same incident that happed with Harry happen again, but this time it was a lot funnier because the girl leaned into kiss Malfoy and Pansy fell on the floor as he backed away. When Pansy got up she smack Malfoy with her hand bag and came back in. When Malfoy looked his way, Ron smirked and stuck out his tongue. After Malfoy came in, Angela took Ron by the hand and led him out. "Ron, I just wanted to say, Harry told me that you heard me say I was expecting something," she said as they sat on the bench, "but I want you to know you don't have to if you don't.." Ron knew exactly what Angela was talking about (even though he didn't really hear them talking) and went for it. He kissed her! It last a couple seconds, but felt like eternity (Author's note: Yeah I know that sounds a little corny, but...).
They went back inside without saying a word to each other, but just danced to another slow song. "This was a wonderful night," Ron admitted. "I think so too." And again silence consumed them as they danced.
It was now the end of the dance and the only person not disappointed was Harry, who had been sitting by himself ever since that event with Melissa. Ron walked Angela to her dorm and was going to bed, until he stopped in the Common Room with Hermione and Harry. "What are ya'll talking about?" "Oh, just whether Harry would mind if Crabbe was my boyfriend." "Yeah, and as long as he's not as stupid as he looks then it's ok, but only because you like him." "Oh, thanks, Harry," and she gave him a hug, "And you Ron?" "Uh, I don't know. Of course I'll deal with him," he laughed, "But just don't hug me," he said hurriedly as he backed away from a pouncing Hermione.
