After ball delights
The next morning Harry woke early and left Hermione in bed so he could head
to breakfast as he had to get an early start on quidditch practise.
Practise was going well until Ginny got hit by a bludger and fell off her
broom; she had broken her arm so Ron escorted her to Madame Pomfrey. She
came back towards the end of practise and had missed out on two hours
training. For the rest of the afternoon Harry, Ron and Draco went to visit
Hagrid, Harry hadn't had chance to see how Sirius was as whenever he tried
to there were to many people around. At about six they left Hagrids and
went there separate ways to get ready. Harry knocked on Hermiones door.
"What Harry, I'm busy getting ready."
"I was just seeing if you're in." He replied feeling a bit offended.
"Sorry but please can you leave mi in peace of I wont be ready in time." Harry went to his room and got out his dress robes he soon remembered that he needed to shower as he was all sweaty. After his shower he got dressed, tided the room and made the bed he was hoping that tonight was going to be their night. At quarter to seven Hermione came down to the common room she looked stunning in her periwinkle blue dress. She had curled her hair and had it in a tight ponytail two little bits dangling down where her fringe used to be. "You look stunning." Said Harry pulling Hermione close to his body as he kissed her.
"Hey watch the lip gloss." She said pulling away.
"Yup we've got to keep your perfect, wait you're perfect enough anyway." He took her hand and led her down to the entrance hall where they met Ron, Janey, Ginny and Draco. "Wow you two look so cool together." Said Ron.
"Oh Harry, Hermione, looking at you two is like seeing Lilly and James again." Came a voice from behind them, Albus Dumbledore. They smiled and said "Thank you." The doors of the great hall opened, looking inside was like looking at a fairy tale picture. They had gone out on a limb and decorated with never melting icicles and crystals with ice statues of fairys dotted about the room. They went and found a table for six and sat down. As they were looking at the doors to see what people looked like they saw Parker enter with Tanya. His pink hair, matched her ghastly pink frilly dress. "Don't they match?" Laughed Draco.
"Hey that was you a couple of years ago with Pansy Parkinson." Hermione said remembering the look on Harry's face when she turned up with Krum.
"Herms, may I have this dance?" Asked Harry holding out his hand for her to take, which she took and replied. "Of course you can Potter." He led her onto the dance floor and put his arms around her waist. She put hers around his and rested her head on his shoulders as they danced in time to the music. They where soon joined By Ron and Janey, Ron looking a bit nervous dancing wasn't really his strong point. He seemed to be enjoying it though when Janey kissed him.
"I have just received word that the food is ready. You may choose what you like from the menu." Said Dumbledore sitting down in his seat at the main table. Harry and Hermione sat down at the table and looked through the menu.
"I think I'll have the roast beef and a butterbeer please." Harry said and no sooner had he said it a roast beef dinner appeared in front of him and his goblet filled itself with butterbeer. Hermione had the same as him as did Ron and Janey. Harry and Hermione only stayed till eleven, even though they where both still full of energy. They both had one thing in mind. It looked like tonight was going to be their night. They raced into Harrys room, Hermione literally ripping the clothes from Harrys back. But Harry very carefully removed her dress as they got into bed. Harry even though it sounded selfish he was really glad that he was finally doing it. He had never felt better and was glad that it was Hermione he had lost his virginity too, he felt so much love for her and in a way he felt he had finally got to show her how much. "Hermione, was that your first time?" He asked trying to feel brave. "No Harry it was my second." She said feeling bad and worried she had offended him. She even felt a bit disgusted with herself. Harry plucked up the courage and said. "Was Victor your first?"
"Yes." She said with tears in her eyes worrying that she was hurting him.
"But Harry, you where so much better, you where nice, soft gentle and worried about hurting me. Victor didn't care about me, he really hurt me he did."
"I'm so sorry Herms." He said running his fingers from her chin to her belly button. "What do you have to be sorry for Harry? I love you."
"I love you too Mione." He said kissing her on the corner of her mouth. They lay in each others arms and dozed off.
When Harry woke he looked out and saw that it had snowed all night and still was. The grounds where pure white with Hagrids foot prints leading up to the castle. He opened the window and scooped some snow up into his hands.
"Herms, wakey, wakey rise and shine." He said pulling back the quilt and dropping the snow onto her bare chest. "You pig. That's freezing." She screamed shoving the snow off her and onto the floor. She pulled the quilt back on and said. "So pain in the ass what's the time."
"Time you got out of bed so we can have a snow fight." Harry replied cheekily pulling on his jeans and jumper. "Ok." She said wrapping the quilt around her and waddling across the hallway to her room. Harry finished getting dressed and went to wait in the common room by the fire. Hermione came down ten minuets later all dressed in pink, she even had her pink, fluffy roxy boots on, with her cloak swaying behind her off the shoulders. "Shall we see if Ron and Janey want to come out, we can have a couples war?" Asked Hermione
"Great idea." Said Harry running out of the common room, through the tapestry and up the stairs with Hermione following him. With one more flight of stairs to go they bumped into Ron and Janey. "Snow fight?" Asked Ron.
"You read my mind, battle of the couples." Replied Harry, so they raced outside and made themselves bases. Despite Ron having an excellent throwing arm, Harry and Hermione won. Hermione bewitched the base so all snow balls repelled of it and went flying back at Ron.
"See you two at lunch me and Herms have plans." Harry said looking at Hermione, she just smiled at him. "Ok, what are your plans?"
"We're going to visit Dobby where we can get a nice hot chocolate." Hermione replied as she shoved some snow down Harrys back, he shivered and kissed her on the cheek. "Cool say hello to him for us, we're going to see Hagrid." Said Ron heading towards Hagrids hut with Janey clinging onto his arm.
"I was just seeing if you're in." He replied feeling a bit offended.
"Sorry but please can you leave mi in peace of I wont be ready in time." Harry went to his room and got out his dress robes he soon remembered that he needed to shower as he was all sweaty.
