"Eyes on me"

It was the Graduation Fest. Hermione was sipping punch blissfully unaware of Harry and Ron who had been trying to get her attention for the past hour when they finally gave up. A small part of her brain had registered the boys who had asked her to dance and the girls who had told her how pretty her dress was. No, instead Hermione was concentrating on finding someone, her eyes scanning the Great Hall.

Whenever sang my songs

On the stage, on my own

Whenever said my words

Wishing they would be heard

She finally saw him in the shadows and started to make her way to him through the mass of dancing students.

I saw you smiling at me

Was it real or just my fantasy

You'd always be there in the corner

Of this tiny little bar

He watched her across the hall in her beautiful blue dress. He of course had instantly seen her enter the Great Hall and had waited for her to notice him. His eyes never leaving hers, he walked outside to the balcony. Hermione followed him unconsciously walking faster as if she might lose him. She had been waiting for this night a long time and was not going ruin it.

My last night here for you

Same old songs, just once more

My last night here with you?

Maybe yes, maybe no

I kind of liked it your way

How you shyly placed your eyes on me

Oh, did you ever know?

That I had mine on you

She came to the balcony and saw him waiting for her with a strange look on his face.

Darling, so there you are

With that look on your face

As if you're never hurt

As if you're never down

Shall I be the one for you

Who pinches you softly but sure

If frown is shown then

I will know that you are no dreamer

"Severus." She said and smiled.

He gave her the rare smile only reserved for her and held his hand out for her. She took it, and he led her as they danced outside under the stars.

So let me come to you

Close as I wanted to be

Close enough for me

To feel your heart beating fast

And stay there as I whisper

How I loved your peaceful eyes on me

Did you ever know

That I had mine on you

They held each other tightly both of them hoping it wasn't just a dream.

Darling, so share with me

Your love if you have enough

You tears if you're holding back

Or pain if that's what it is

How can I let you know

I'm more than the dress and the voice

Just reach me out then

You will know that you're not dreaming

Hermione looked up to Severus' eyes and could clearly see the swirl of emotions in them. Neither spoke, yet a thousand words were said silently as they looked at each other. He leaned closer and Hermione closed her eyes when he kissed her tenderly.

Darling, so there you are

With that look on your face

As if you're never hurt

As if you're never down

Shall I be the one for you

Who pinches you softly but sure

If frown is shown then

I will know that you are no dreamer

Hermione and Severus continued to dance oblivious that the song had ended and that the others were going to the dormitories to get some sleep for the last time before they would leave Hogwarts in the morning. Some forever, some until the next year. For the dancing couple this wasn't the last night. It was the beginning.
