June passed by with exams and unusually chilly weather. Harry had a
plan of how to get Hermione back though. The Friday before the ride home,
Harry walked down to Dumbledore's office and waited patiently for him to
come down. Harry thought about what he was just about to do. Was he mad?
He heard the grating of the stairs as Dumbledore slowly descended.
"Ah, Mr. Potter. How can I help you on this fine afternoon?" He asked as he walked into the hall.
"I need you to do me a favour professor." Harry said getting up.
"And what is this favour?" He asked.
"It has to do with Hermione..."
That night during dinner, Harry was antsy.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Ron asked him finally.
"Nothing. I'm fine." He said, looking over the heads of the other students and at Dumbledore. The old man looked at him with a kind eye. Harry sat back down and let out a long sigh.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Hermione asked with a concerned look. But before he could answer, Dumbledore stood up and the whole room hushed.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen. I have an announcement to make. We will be having one last dance before you leave this year on Saturday night." The same thing happened as it did on Christmas. Excited eyes were flying everywhere, but the students did not make a sound.
"This will be casual, no need to dress up, although feel free. All years are invited. That is all. Goodnight." He looked at Harry with a grin on his face and a salute before he sat down in his huge chair. The whole room lit up with conversation again as they all filed out of the big doors. Ginny and Hermione were walking ahead of the other two. Harry caught up to them and tapped Ginny on the shoulder.
"Can I talk to you Gin?" He asked.
"Yeah, sure." She replied. "I'll see you up in the common room." She said to Hermione as Harry dragged her to the side.
"What's up?" She asked, shoving her hands into her pockets.
"I need your help with something."
"Sure."
"I need you to make sure Hermione's there at the end of the dance tomorrow night."
"Yeah, sure. Why?"
"Listen. I was the one who asked Dumbledore to hold this dance. All I need to know is that Hermione is going to be there." He explained his plan to her and she almost had a heart attack.
"OH MY GOD! That is the sweetest thing in the world. I'm going to make her promise she'll be there." Ginny ran all the way to the Gryffindor house and up to her room. Tomorrow night was going to be super.
"So, are you going to go tonight?" Ginny asked Hermione. It was three o'clock in the afternoon. Ginny was getting ready. Lee had asked her to go with him again. She was wearing a white skirt and a pink tank top. She looked absolutely adorable.
"No, I'm not feeling to social at the moment." She replied. Hermione was curled up on her bed, wearing Harry's sweater.
"Oh come on Hermione. You have to come! It's our last night here." Ginny said with pleading eyes.
"Ginny..." She said with a moan.
"Come on. Do it for me. Pleeeeease?" She said with her little face.
"Maybe." Ginny kept on looking at her.
"Perhaps." Ginny kept on looking at her.
"FINE! I'll make an appearance. But only for the last while." "Promise?"
"I promise." "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is going to be great!" Ginny gave a squeal of delight as she gave Hermione a hug. She bounced down the stairs and into the great hall. When she got there, she ran into Harry and Ron. "She's coming! OHMIGOD SHE'S COMING! I AM SOOOOO EXCITED! YAY!" "So, she said she was coming down?" Harry asked. "YES! I AM SOOO EXCITED! HOLY COW! IM GONNA HAVE AN ANURISM!" She said, running into the hall. "What the hell is she on about?" Ron asked. "Why am I always left out of these things?" Ron kept muttering to himself as they walked through to the hall. There was a live band and bright, multi-coloured lights shooting everywhere.
The dance finally started and all was going well. But Hermione hadn't come down. In the middle of the dance, there was still no Hermione. Near the end, Ginny found Harry in the crowd of people. "Do you want me to go get her?" She asked him, a worried look on her face. Harry contemplated for a moment. "Mo, she said she would be here. She'll come." And sure enough, in came Hermione. She was wearing a pair of jeans and Harry's huge sweater. She had on a pair of slippers in the shape of caterpillars and her hair was stuck up with an assortment of pens and pencils. "Go." Harry said to Ginny, pointing her towards the stage. When she got there, Ginny whispered into a guys ear and all the lights came on and the music stopped. Everyone looked around and saw Harry making his way to Hermione. "What's going on?" She whispered when he reached her. "I need to tell you something." He said, taking her hand. Ginny gave a hand signal to the band and they started to play.
The grey ceiling on the earth
Well it's lasted for a while
Take my thoughts for what they're worth
I've been acting like a child
Your opinion what is that
It's just a different point of view, oh...
"Hermione, without you, I'm lost without a reason. I don't want to be lost anymore. I know I don't deserve you, but I care about you more than anything. Without you, nothing is as exciting as it used to be. The sun doesn't shine as brightly, and potions is even less bearable." Hermione chuckled and grinned at him. He placed his hands on her hips and put his forehead down to hers.
"Will you give me another chance?" He asked. She closed her eyes.
What else what else can I do
I said I'm sorry yeah I'm sorry
I said I'm sorry but what for?
If I hurt you then I hate myself
Don't wanna hate myself, don't wanna hurt you
Why do you choose your pain if you only knew
How much I love you (love you)
"Harry, I want nothing more than to be with you forever." She said, throwing her arms around his neck and beginning to cry. Harry let out a sigh of relief as he put his arms around her and rested his chin on her head. The two stood together in each other's arms as the rest of the song played through.
I wont be your winter
And I wont be anyone's excuse to cry
We cant be forgiven
And I will be here
Old picture on the shelf
Its been there for a while
A frozen image of ourselves
We were acting like a child
Innocence in a trance
A dance that lasted for a while
You read my eyes just like a diary
Oh remember please remember
Harry was just glad to have his girl back. She knew him better than anyone. All eyes were on them, but it felt like it was only those two in the room. Draco was standing at the back of the room, trying to look happy.
Well I'm not a beggar but once more
If I hurt you then I hate myself
I don't want to hate myself don't want to hurt you
Why do you choose that pain
if only you knew how much I love you (love you)
There wasn't a dry female eye in the room. Even McGonagall was welling up a bit. Although, Cho was in tears at the prosper of losing Harry again to the same girl.
I wont be your winter
And I wont be anyone's excuse to cry
And we cant be forgiven
And I will be here
"Are you sure you want me back?" Hermione asked, gazing into his beautiful green eyes.
"I've never been so sure of anything in my life." He said, bending down to kiss her.
And that's the end guys! That's the story. I'm thinking about writing a sequel so if you liked this one, you'll R and R, telling me to do the other one! I hope you enjoyed it! I love you all!!! (
