The rest of the week went by in a flash. Everyone was excited fro Friday, to see what the activity day was about. Classes had been let out early the day before to let the kids go to Hogsmead to get dress robes, since they were not told to pack any. People had been frantic to find dates in such short notice. Harry and Hermione were going, of course together, and Ron was asked by none other then Luna Lovegood. He said yes, thinking she would be his only hope for a date, and when a pretty Hufflepuff girl asked him later that day, he immediately regretted his decision.
Everyone woke up very excited. When they went down to the Great Hall for breakfast, the site they saw amazed them. Instead of 4 house tables, there was booths and stands all around the room. Some with fun looking games, others with sweets and all sorts of things. It looked sort of like a carnival, Harry thought.
The whole day was spent playing games, buying sweets, and winning prizes. Everyone had a great time. People kept coming up to Harry and thanking him or giving him a "Well done!".
At six o'clock everyone cleared out of the Great Hall and back to their dormitories to get ready for the ball. Ron and Harry went in their dorm with the rest of the boys to get ready and Hermione went in hers. Parvati was going to be doing her make up while Lavender was to do her hair. Her dress robes were a ruby red. They were a bit flashy for her, but she wanted to impress Harry.
Forty-five minutes later, Harry and Ron were back down in the common room waiting for Hermione. At ten till seven, Hermione finally came down the stairs. Harry couldn't believe his eyes, he could find no words. She was gorgeous. He couldn't believe she was his date, let alone his girlfriend. Harry took his eyes off Hermione and looked over at Ron who had his mouth open. He looked at Harry and said, "Congratulations mate! She looks beautiful."
When she had taken her last step down the staircase, and walked over to Harry and Ron she gave Harry a hug.
"You look stunning Hermione." Harry said, beaming at her.
"Thank you," Hermione smiled, "Shall we go?" she asked. Harry and Ron nodded in agreement and as Hermione grabbed Harry's hand, they were off.
"I'm supposed to meet Luna at the doors." Said Ron miserably.
"Oh Ron, I'm sure it wont be that bad. I bet she will look pretty." Said Hermione encouragingly.
They waited for a while, it was now ten past seven. Just as Ron was about to give up and go in without her, they saw her. She was coming down the hall wearing midnight blue robes, which made her steely eyes seem to pop out at you. Her lips were a peachy red and she had just a touch of blue eye shadow on that made her eyes look even more astonishing. She looked gorgeous. Ron couldn't deny it. Harry looked over at him, and again he had his mouth open.
"Wow Ron, Luna really looks pretty." Said Harry.
"See Ron, what did I tell you? I'm sure you guys will have loads of fun." Hermione added in.
Ron didn't say anything, but just stood there with his mouth open, not even bothering to close it as she approached.
"Hey guys! Wow Hermione you look beautiful." She said. Then she looked at Ron. "Should we go inside then?"
"Uh, um, y-yeah, sure." Ron said nervously and then mumbled something like "Youloobuaful". And his face started turning the color of Hermione's dress.
The Great Hall was decorated beautifully. There were bunches of sweet smelling candles everywhere and different colored banners and streamers, and the floor was covered in a sea of black balloons. In the back they could see where the drinks were set up, and around them were several tables and chairs. Music was playing from a band on the side of the room, and in the middle were people dancing.
"Should we dance or should we er-get drinks or something?" Harry suggested.
"Drinks sounds good, I am rather thirsty." Said Luna, and they all agreed.
They got some iced pumpkin juice and sat at one of the tables. They sipped their juice and talked amongst each other, well Harry, Luna, and Hermione were talking, Ron seemed to be at a loss for words. Just as they were finishing their conversation, the first slow song came on.
"Would you like to dance?" Harry asked Hermione playfully kissing her hand.
"Oh Harry I'd love to!" Hermione replied just as playfully, and they were off, hand in hand, onto the floor leaving Ron and Luna alone.
"Oh, er- Luna would like to dance?" Ron asked uncomfortably.
"Oh, yeah Ron, I'd like that." She replied with a smile, and they too stepped onto the floor. Ron couldn't stop staring into her eyes as they danced. He had a feeling he had never had before. In the pit of his stomach he had the sensation of a very large bug flying around, trying to escape. Her eyes were mysterious, but not in a weird way, but in a sexy way this time. Ron suddenly felt like he wanted to kiss her, but he knew he couldn't. The urge was almost unbearable. He was fighting with himself to keep cool when she said, "Ron, is there something wrong?"
He got even more nervous and took a breath. "I-er, I was looking at your eyes, I like them, they're sexy, I-I mean they're pretty, yeah." He felt a red hot blush rinse over his whole face and took a sudden interest in the their feet.
"Thank you Ron. Your eyes are pretty too. I like them.." she replied smiling.
Ron looked back up at her and smiled back. Before they knew it they had become lost in a kiss. Both of them not bothering to dance anymore, were just standing there kissing.
MEANWHILE
Harry and Hermione were dancing closely, Hermione's head resting on Harry's shoulder. Just as the song ended they gave each other a soft kiss and broke apart. When they saw Ron and Luna they stopped dead in their tracks, looked at each other, and broke out laughing.
"Um Ron? Er- The song is over now.." Harry said between chuckles.
Ron and Luna suddenly broke apart. Ron looked flabbergasted. His eyes were wide and mouth hung open. Luna gave a soft giggle and blushed. Harry gave another snort of laugher and said, "Come on guys, do you want to go back to our table?" They all nodded, and went to sit down.
They talked the night away, occasionally getting up to dance, but then going back to their table to finish conversation. When it came to the last slow dance they all went out on the floor and began to dance, when Hermione felt someone tap on her shoulder.
"May I cut in?" asked the person. Hermione turned around to see Snape standing there. He was wearing sky blue robes that brightened his eyes. He looked very handsome, in Hermione's opinion.
She looked over at Harry. "Do you mind?"
"Er-no, go ahead." He answered looking uncertainly at Snape as he stepped aside.
Snape stepped in, grabbed her hand in his and put his other on her hip as they began to dance.
"You look very beautiful tonight." Snape cooed.
"Oh, Thank you professor. You look very nice too." She said, blushing.
They continued to dance when Hermione heard someone clear their throat behind them. She turned to see Malfoy standing there.
"Do you mind if I take the rest of this dance?" he asked.
Hermione very confused looked up at Snape. He bowed and said, "Thank you for the dance my lady." And then walked away, letting Malfoy step in. He grabbed her hand gently and put his other hand on her hip pulling her very close to him.
"Why did you ask me to dance Malfoy? Is this some kind of trick?" Hermione asked cautiously.
"No Granger, it isn't a joke. I just figured what the heck? I mean next year is our last year, don't you think it's time we put everything behind us?" he said.
"Um, yeah I suppose.." Hermione answered. Just then the song ended and they broke apart.
"Do you want to go on a little walk?" Malfoy asked taking her hand.
"I really shouldn't, what about Harry?" she suddenly looked back to where he had been standing, only to find that he was gone.
"Oh don't worry, I'm sure Potter wont mind." He said as he pulled her out of the hall and into a courtyard right out side the school.
They both sat down on a bench side by side.
"You sure look good tonight, you know Granger, I'd even say you were sexy." Said Malfoy in a cool seductive voice. He looked straight into her eyes.
Hermione looked back at him. He did look rather handsome, she had to admit. "Oh, thank you Draco, you er- you look nice too." She replied.
Just then he took his hand and placed it on her cheek, leaned in and said, "You think I look good do you?" even more seductively.
"Er- Yeah..." Hermione suddenly felt very uncomfortable. "I should go. Harry's probably worried."
But as she got up, Draco grabbed her arm. "You're not leaving."
"Really Draco, I must. Harry's waiting." She said as she struggled to try and get free but he tightened his grip.
"I didn't bring you out here to exchange compliments and then leave. I had a bit more in mind." And he pulled her towards him, pressing his lips hard against hers. The more she struggled the more he tightened his grip. He forced his tongue into her mouth, she fought as hard as she could, when-
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL?"
