Harry and Lera walked side-by- side down to the great hall. They entered the great hall. The room was colourfully decorated. There was a band of wood nymphs in the corner, accompanied by a pixie singer. The sweet, angelic music reverberated around the great hall. Couples danced on the dance floor and around the room were tables set up for dinner. Harry, Lera, Ron and Hermione walked over to one of the tables and sat down.
Food appeared before them. Harry and Lera looked at each other and smiled. They started eating their meals.
After they had finished Ron and Hermione got up and danced. Lera could see them swaying to the gentle music. She knew they were no more than friends but they still looked really comfortable with each other.
Harry and Lera sat there. They looked at each other. Lera felt so happy.
'Are you having fun?' asked Harry
'Yeah. Are you?'
'Yeah.'
'Oh my god I love this song!' exclaimed Lera as her favourite song came on.
'Do you want to dance?'
Lera nodded and stood up, taking Harry's hand. He led her onto the dance floor. They got into position. Harry's arms around her waist and Lera's arms around his neck. They started to sway in time to the music.
I wonder how I ever made it through a day
How did I settle for a world in shades of gray
When you go in circles all the scenery looks the same
And you don't know why and I looked into your eyes
Where the world stretched out in front of me and I realized
They danced in time to the music. Lera was so close; Harry could smell her vanilla scent.
I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again, I wasn't really living
I never lived, before your love
Lera could feel Harry, so close to her. It was intoxicating.
I wanted more than just an ordinary life
All of my dreams seemed like castles in the sky
I stand before you and my heart is in your hands
And I don't know how I survived without your kiss
'Cause you've given me a reason to exist
For the entire duration of the song only two people existed in the world.
And I don't know why
Why the sun decides to shine
But you breathed your love into me just in time
And the song ended.
Harry and Lera reluctantly pulled away from each other.
Another song started. It was a song neither of them had heard.
They sat back down at the table.
Hermione and Ron were still dancing.
A boy Lera had never seen before approached the table where they sat.
'Hey. I am James from Hufflepuff. Um. Do you want to dance?' he asked Lera.
'Um. Sure,' she said. She shrugged at Harry.
'I'll be back later,' she said.
James led Lera onto the dance floor leaving Harry where he was.
Harry sat there for a bit. Looking at Lera and James who were twirling around the dance floor. Lera looked really happy and it made Harry so jealous. He could feel his blood boiling. He watched as this stranger danced with his girlfriend. He could see them talking, but couldn't hear what they were saying.
Lera twirled around with James. As they danced, twirled and dipped they talked.
James was really nice and he was a really good dancer.
'What year are you in?' she asked him, breathlessly at one point.
'I'm in 6th year. You?'
'I'm in 5th.'
'I haven't seen you around very often?'
'I came over from Australia about two months ago. My old school wasn't nearly as big as this one.' She laughed.
He dipped her.
'Do you like it here?'
'Yes. I love it.' She said as she twirled away and back in to him.
'Hey, do you want to meet up some time? I would love to get to know you better.'
' Sure.'
'That's great.'
The song finished. Lera felt slightly reluctant to leave but she had told Harry she would only be gone for a short time.
'Do you want to come and sit with us?' she asked him.
'No. I have some friends over the other side. I'll find you or owl you.'
James went over to the opposite side of the hall.
Lera went and sat next to Harry.
'Did you have fun?' he asked.
There was something about his tone that Lera didn't like.
'Yes. He is a good dancer.'
Harry sat there in silence for a minute.
'I might go to the bathroom. I'll be back in a minute.'
And he got up and left leaving Lera alone to contemplate what had sparked his new mood.
