I'm tugging at my hair, I'm pulling at my clothes, I'm trying to keep my cool, I know it shows, I'm staring at my feet, my cheeks are turning red, I'm searching for the words inside my head, cause I'm feeling nervous, trying to be so perfect, cause I know you're worth it, you're worth it, yeah - Avril Lavigne
"Here they come," Ron said in awe, jerking Harry out of his memory.
Harry looked the way Ron had been gazing, openmouthed.
He saw Hermione in beige robes, and then he thought he was struck by lightening. Elizabeth looked like she was floating on a dark pink cloud.
"Whoa," Harry whispered, staring at Elizabeth.
"I agree," Ron commented, looking at Hermione.
Elizabeth gulped as she saw Harry. 'God, he's hot,' she thought.
"You look absolutely beautiful, Elizabeth," Harry said impressed.
"You don't look too bad yourself, Harry," Elizabeth replied with a smile.
"Shall we?" Harry asked as he offered her his arm. She accepted it, and with her heart pumping painfully, they entered the Great Hall, with Ron and Hermione behind them.
The way the Great Hall was decorated reminded Elizabeth suspiciously like the way to Room of Requirement was furnished when she was tutoring Harry on the combining curse.
They were in very low light, except for the special candles. The tables had red tablecloths on them and he chairs were wooden with red seats and backs.
The ceiling, that was bewitched to look like the night sky, was so clear, Elizabeth could tell where Mars and Jupiter were. The moon was full and looked rather large for what it was usually. Every star in the sky seemed to shine brighter. They sat down, and waited for the music to start.
Everything seemed so romantic.
They had an unknown source of music floating about the Great Hall. The first song was a slow song.
'Maybe it's intuition,
But some things you just don't question,
Like in your eyes,
I see my future in an instant,
And there it goes,
I think I've found my best friend,
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy,
But I believe,'
"Would you like to dance?" Harry asked Elizabeth.
She blushed, even though she was expecting it, and replied, "Of course," as she stood up.
'I knew I loved you before I met you,
I think I dreamed you into life,
I knew I loved you before I met you,
I have been waiting all my life,'
Elizabeth put her arms around Harry's neck as he put his arms around her waist. They started slowly rocking back and forth to the beat of the music while staring into each others' eyes.
'There's just no rhyme or reason,
Only this sense of completion,
And in your eyes,
I see the missing pieces,
I'm searching for,
I think I've found my way home,
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe,
I knew I loved you before I met you,
I think I dreamed you into life,
I knew I loved you before I met you,
I have been waiting all my life,'
They didn't notice, but as the song progressed, they moved closer and closer together. Elizabeth rested her head on Harry's shoulder, and sighed, trying not the think about what she'd just found out.
'A thousand angels dance around you,
I am complete now that I've found you,
I knew I loved you before I met you,
I think I dreamed you into life,
I knew I loved you before I met you,
I have been waiting all my life,'
As the last few notes of the old tune faded out, Harry and Elizabeth moved, inch by careful inch, towards each other to kiss.
When the song was over, they went to go sit down. Elizabeth didn't like dancing to fast songs, and though she related to this particular song, she didn't want to make a fool out of herself by dancing, and she just sang along.
'Well you can say I'm plain Jane,
But it's not the same, I ain't into,
Big names, but I like nice things,
I like boxin' matches and the football games,
I wouldn't mind bein' an actress,
But I love to sing,
I like going out, taken walks 'n' stuff,
I don't run with many girls cause they talk too much,'
Harry and Elizabeth danced every other song, talking deeply during the songs they didn't dance to.
(A/N: SORRY ABOUT THE LATENESS!!!!!!!!!!! I APOLOGIZE!!!!
MindyLou: I apologize for this chapter being so long in coming. My play took up a lot of my time and energy. Thanks much for reviewing again.
Tekvah Ariel: You wouldn't believe this, but the first time I wrote out this story, he was proposing...then, upon going over it, I realized that it was too soon and they were too young and stuff...The ring was actually 16 galleons on a regular day, which is about 128 American dollars. But because of the sale, plus half price day, it was reduced to one fourth of its original price. :-D. Pivotal Five is really cool, but it doesn't have it LotR chapter, yet, so you might be a bit anxious to read it. Here Without You is excellent, as is Why? Sadly, that sounds like boasting, but I, personally, love them. If they were anyone else's stories, I'd love them anywayz. Be weary of Harry Potter and Found Love. Who's John Ronald Ruel? That's way cool that you like LotR! Like I said, Pivotal Five will have LotR in it eventually. Thanks much for reviewing again.)
