Chapter 8: Christmas Ball Night
The next day everyone was excited about the Christmas Ball. Well everyone except Snape. He was annoyed by all the students talking about the Ball and not doing their work. He gave out more detentions that day than in three weeks combined! So by the end of the day, when Snape taught his last class (which Draco, Hermione, etc. were in) he was very angry. VERY angry. The bell rang at the end of class but Snape held them back.
"Where do you all think you're going? Sit down. I am not through with you yet," Snape barked at them. The students looked at each other and sat back down. Once they were all seated, Snape continued. "Now, just because the Christmas Ball is tonight doesn't mean I'm going to give you a little homework. I want each of you to do two essays, each one on a different potion. Tell me how to make them and what they are use for. It is like a research paper, if you will. I want each essay two parchments long and are due in three days. Now get out of my classroom!!!!"
The students obeyed and left Snape's classroom before they could say "Damn Snape!" Once they were away from Snape, Lavender grabbed Hermione's hand.
"C'mon, Herm. We gotta go. Have to get ready," Lavender said, pulling Hermione toward the Gryffindor tower.
"Hermione, I'll meet you outside your dorms!" Draco yelled at her.
"All right! Bye!" Hermione yelled back. The girls then ran to their dorms.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I did a good job. Hermione you look beautiful, "Lavender said as she looked at Hermione. It was true. Hermione's make-up, hair, everything was done. Hermione's lips and eyes were done in a soft pink to match her robes. Her hair was done in a beautiful bun with little pink flowers surrounding her bun.
"Hey you guys," Ginny said as she came into the dorm. "Wow, you both look great! C'mon, the guys are waiting for us."
The girls then walked out of the dorm to see Ron and Harry smiling at them. Once they were down the stairs, Ron took Lavender's hand and Harry took Ginny's hand. Hermione just stood there and watched her friends leave. After a couple minutes, Lavender stuck her head through the portrait hole.
"Hermione, what are you waiting for? Draco's outside already and may I say that he looks amazing," Lavender said, winking at Hermione.
Hermione took a deep breath. "Okay." She walked the portrait hole and looked around. A little ways from the portrait hole was Draco, leaning against a wall. He hadn't noticed that Hermione came out already. He was wearing midnight blue robes and looked absolutely gorgeous. She walked up to Draco quietly and tapped him on the shoulder. She smiled at him when he turned around and he smiled back. That was all he could really do; she took his breath away.
"Hi," Hermione said, little embarrassed. He said nothing but took her hand in his and kissed it. Hermione turned red.
"You look absolutely stunning," Draco cooed to her. Hermione turned even more red. Draco then pulled out a corsage. It had a yellow rose with pink tips in the middle with other little flowers surrounding it.
"Oh, Draco! It's beautiful!" Hermione exclaimed as he put it on her wrist. She kissed him lovingly. "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Draco replied. Then he held out his arm. "Shall we go?"
Hermione took his arm. "We shall." Arm in arm, they walked to the Great Hall. When they entered, everything looked amazing. The enchanted ceiling was snowing and then walls had greenery on them. One by one the students made their way into the Great Hall. Once everyone was inside, Dumbledore began his speech.
"Thank you all for coming," Dumbledore said. "I'd like to welcome you all to tonight's Christmas Ball. Now before we begin, there are a few announcements that I need to make. First, if you would like to take a walk outside you are more than welcome to do so. It has been charmed to be nice and warm and snow free. Let us all thank Professor Flitwick for his work outside." The students applauded toward Professor Flitwick, who smiled and nodded his head graciously. "Secondly, there are refreshments for all of you if you do get hungry or thirsty. Now I believe I've said all there is to say so let this ball begin!"
Instantly a fast paced song came on and people started to dance. Draco looked at Hermione, giving her a look that said "I don't want to dance right now." So they went and found an empty table and sat down. Draco and Hermione stared at some of the couples who were dancing, laughing at some occasional ones.
"Hermione would you like a drink or something?" Draco asked out of the blue.
"Sure, thanks." Then Draco left. A few seconds after he left, Ron and Lavender came up to Hermione.
"Hey, Mione," Lavender said. She pulled up a chair and sat next to her. Ron followed suit.
"So have you guys danced yet?" Hermione asked.
"No. Lav and I don't like this song. I don't see how people can dance to it," Ron told Hermione, which made her laugh. After a little while Draco came back with two glasses of pumpkin juice in his hand.
"Hi Ron, Lavender. Here you go, Mione. Lavender would you like some? You can have mine if you want," Draco said politely.
"No that's OK, Draco. Thanks anyway." Draco then sat down with them. Then a slow song came on. Immediately Ron and Lavender got out of their chairs and went to the dancing floor. Hermione and Draco laughed when they left. Then Draco got out of his chair and held his hand out toward Hermione.
"Hermione, may I have this dance?" he asked every so nicely.
Hermione blushed and took his hand. "Of course Draco."
Hand in hand, they walked out to the dancing floor. Once they were there, Draco put his hands on Hermione waist and Hermione put her hands around Draco's neck. And they started to move to the music. Slow dancing really isn't dancing at all. It's just swaying to the music. But to Hermione and Draco it was so much more. After a little while, Hermione lay her head on Draco's shoulder. Then after that Draco and Hermione's arms were around each other. Hermione closed her eyes and she swore she was flying. But the song ended and so did the couple's wonderful moment. Students clapped to the wonderful dance. Hermione Draco stared at each other and smiled. Then Draco to Hermione's hand in his.
"C'mon," he said, "let's go outside."
"OK." So they walked outside. Luckily no one was there. They walked over to a nearby bench and sat down. Once they were sitting, Hermione was the one to break the silence. "I had a wonderful time dancing with you Draco."
"Good." He then leaned in and kissed Hermione. He placed one hand at her waist while another was cupping her cheek. Hermione wrapped her arms around Draco's neck, making them come closer. Then without thinking, Draco ran his tongue along Hermione's bottom lip. Hermione was little surprised but gave him access inside her mouth. After a few more moments, they pulled apart, their foreheads resting on each other. Draco smiled and said, "Let's go back inside."
Hermione nodded and got up. As they walked back, Draco wrapped his arm around Hermione's shoulders. She smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek. When they walked in, they went to their table and sat down. Seconds later, Lavender and Ron came to them.
"Hi you guys," Lavender said cheerfully. They talked for a while when a cool song came on. Ron smiled and stood up.
"Hermione do you want to dance with me?" Ron asked her. Hermione looked at Draco, unsure if it was okay with him.
"Sure," Draco said, "just as long as I can dance with Lavender."
"Of course." So Ron and Hermione walked to the dance floor and Draco and Lavender followed them. All for of them looked like they had fun and they did. Ron twirled Hermione a couple times. Hermione smiled and laughed as he did. Draco and Lavender, however, were pulling off some pretty good moves. They looked like professional ball room dancers! Ron and Hermione saw them and watched them in amazement. When the song was over, everyone clapped for Draco and Lavender. Ron and Hermione made their way back to their table, waiting for Draco and Lavender.
"Wow, Draco you are really good at dancing," Lavender said as they walked toward their table.
"Thanks," he replied, a little embarrassed.
"You two should enter a dance contest sometime," Ron said when Draco and Lavender reached the table.
"That's okay," Draco replied. "It looked like you and Hermione had fun."
"We did," Hermione said, smiling. "C'mon Draco, let's dance!" Hermione then grabbed Draco's hand and dragged him to the dance floor. Lavender and Ron laughed.
Well like all good dances they come to an end. Everyone walked back toward their own houses. But before Draco and Hermione separated, they talked.
"Wait a minute, Mione. I want to talk to you," Draco said. He lead her to an empty hall.
"I had a great time, Draco," Hermione said.
"I'm glad. I did too."
"Well we'd better get going. I want to get a good night's rest."
"Yeah." Draco took her chin in his hand and kissed her ever so softly. "Good night."
"'Night."
"I love you, Mione."
Hermione smiled and said, "I love you, too." Hermione watched him walk off. I kind of upset her that she would be able to see Draco until tomorrow, but hey life goes on.
