Chapter 17: Dancing Lightly with a Heavy Heart
Disclaimer: don't make us do this...just let us dance!
Hermione's P.O.V.
We walked into the hall. It looked amazing. There were streamers and balloons and a million other decorations. We played for about a half hour before we took a break. Dumbledore told us to only play for 30 minutes at a time so we could also enjoy the dance. I walked around looking for Jake. I spotted him talking to Harry and Ron.
I made my way over to talk to him.
"Hey Jake" I said.
He quickly turned around and smiled.
"Hi Emma! You were great up there"
"Thanks" I was major blushing!
"Do you wanna dance?" he asked
"SURE!"
We headed onto the dance floor and danced to three songs before he wanted to take a break.
"You're a good dancer" he told me.
"Thanks, so are you" I said.
We just talked a little before I had to go back onstage.
"I'll see you later. Wait for me after the dance, you're going to be sleeping in my tower." I said as I left him. He quickly pulled me back and kissed me. I smiled and walked away.
"Oh my god, 'Mione, you were so good, and so is he" Judy said when I got back to them.
"Yea, you guys were so flirting over there" Lisa said.
"I am so wishing that I was you right now, you are so lucky" Rory said
"I know! I'm so excited! I think he likes me" I said.
"Just look out for yourself Crabs" Rocco said from behind me.
"She's a big girl, she can take care of herself" Judy put in
"Let's go back onstage" I said, pulling Judy away from her brother.
At the end of the dance, I looked for Jake, but I couldn't see him. I started to head for the common room when I heard some noise coming from a closet. I took out my wand because it was my duty as a prefect to make sure that everyone got to the common rooms safely. I opened the door and saw Jake and Parvati making out, about to hit third.
Her top was off and his face and exposed body was smeared with her lip gloss.
Tears started to roll down my cheeks as I ran back to the common room.
"What's the matter sweetie?" Rose asked when I got to her portrait.
"It's nothing, Crimson Ruby" She slowly opened the entrance hole and I ran into my bed crying. I cried myself to sleep, not letting anyone near me.
