Hermione, Lavendar, and Parvati entered The Three Broomsticks. As everybody, who was laughing, walks the three girls and drinking Butterbeer, they noticed that everyone was staring at Hermione as they passed. Did she really look that bad? Was there something in her teeth?
They made it to the far corner of the room and sat down at a table. Parvati turned to speak to Lavendar and Hermione. "Did you see them? They were staring at you Hermione!"
"I thought I was gonna have a heart attack as I passed everybody," said Hermione.
Just then Lavendar jumped up and turned pointed to someone. "Look Hermione, its Ron! He just walked in."
Hermione felt a fluttering sensation as she watched him many people clapping him on the back. Harry could be seen with Luna some fifteen to twenty feet away. They were in a deep conversation.
"Ron!" Seamus called battling through the crowd to get to him. "Did you see that hot girl that just walked in with Parvati and Lavendar?"
Ron was now interested. "Really? Where?" He said now looking over the heads of the excited crowd.
"She's in the back corner talking."
Ron managed to find his way through everybody. Then he saw her. She was the most beautiful person in the world. He's never seen her at Hogwarts. Did she even go there? How could he miss her? She had chocolate brown eyes and long straight brown hair that flowed to her middle back. And her face shined as she laughed with her friends. That smile was incredible. She had very straight teeth that hid behind those luscious lips that he ever so desired to kiss.
He snapped himself out of his reverie as he now noticed he was staring at an angel. He walked over to their table and went up to her. "May I have this dance?" He asked holding out his hand for her to take.
We were strangers,
Starting out on a journey,
Never dreaming,
what we'd have to go through,
Now here we are,
I'm suddenly standing,
At the beginning with you.
They just listened to the song and swayed to the music. It was a perfect song for them. It filled her whole heart up with longing and desire. This is what she really wanted. Hermione really wanted to be with him for the rest of her life. But the thing was that he didn't really know who she was. And if he found out he'd probably hate her.
No one told me
I was going to find you,
Unexpected what you did to my heart,
When I had lost hope,
You were there to remind me,
This is the start.
After a while of not speaking and just listening to the heaviest music Ron asked, "So how come I've never seen you before?"
That comment brought Hermione's hopes down. He had seen her before. Heck. He was even her bestfriend and he couldn't even recognize her. It took her a while to answer as she was choosing her words very carefully.
"You have seen me before! You've just never really noticed."
"I would definitely remember you." He said looking at her in disbelief.
And life is a role
and I wanna keep going.
love is a river,
and I want to keep flowing.
life is a role,
now and forever, wonderful journey,
I'll be there
when the world stops turning.
I'll be there
when the storm is through,
In the end
I wanna be standing,
At the beginning with you.
"No you obviously you didn't because you would know who I was. That's exactly what your kind would do. Always ignoring the academic type and just hanging around popular people." Hermione said after a while.
"Have you been hanging around my bestfriend Hermione?" He asked bluntly.
"She told me how you are. That you always do this. You find a girl that you're interested in and then you just ditch her for someone else to flirt with. Why can't you stay committed to one person?" Hermione asked with tears in her eyes.
We were strangers,On a crazy adventure.
Never dreaming,
how our dreams would come true.
Now here we stand,
Unafraid of the future,
At the beginning with you.
"I can to actually have one person in my life. And right now I want it to be you."
Hermione was now hot with anger. "Yeah now that I've told you what I was feeling. You're such a flip-flopper." (A/N: Sort of like Kerry in the presidential elections. No offense to any democrats out there.)
And life is a role,
And I want to keep going.
Love is a river,
and I want to keep flowing.
Life is a role,
Now and forever,
Wonderful journey.
I'll be there,
when the world stops turning.
I'll be there,
When the storm is through.
In the end,
I wanna be standing,
at the beginning with you.
"I'd really like to get to know you. Give me a chance please?" Those pleading blue eyes stared ever so longingly into hers. How can she say 'no' to a face like that? It seemed like he really did want to get to know her.
Hermione sighed, "Alright! But any funny business and I'm calling the whole thing off. Got it?" He nodded fervently.
Knew there was somebody somewhere,
And alone in the dark.
Now I know that dreams will live on,
I've been waiting so long,
Nothing's gonna tear us apart.
"So can I please get a name from you?" Ron asked trying to start off fresh. And learning her name was a good way to start.
Hermione didn't answer immediately. How could she have forgotten a name? She had to think of something fast... "it's... Collette.... Collette Jones!" She replied thinking of the first name that popped into her head.
"Hi Collette Jones!" My name is Ron Weasley.
And life is a role,
And I want to keep going.
Love is a river,
and I want to keep flowing.
Life is a role,
Now and forever,
Wonderful journey.
I'll be there,
when the world stops turning.
I'll be there,
When the storm is through.
In the end,
I wanna be standing, At the beginning with you Yeah! yeah!"So when do I get to see you again?" Ron asked sounding hopeful.
"I don't know!" It was Hermione's turn to sound blunt.
"And how am I suppose to find you?" He asked with a hint of foreboding.
Hermione opened her mouth and said, "you don't I will find you!"
Life is role,
And I wanna keep going.
Love is a river,
and I wanna keep going on.
Starting out on a journey.
life is a role,
and I wanna keep going.
Love is a river,
and I wanna keep flowing.

The song was finally over. Both Ron and Hermione broke apart. "I have to go." Hermione said now heading back to her original table to retrieve her coat.
Ron grabbed her arm, "don't go! Please?" He said pleading with those eyes once again.
Hermione (or rather Collette) stepped towards him and kissed him on the cheek. "I'm really sorry but there's some homework that I haven't yet finished."
"Ok! I guess I'll see you around then." He said sounding a little disappointed. And with that she walked out the door without a backward glance. She seems so familiar somehow. It's almost like she's channeling Hermione's spirit. Ron thought leaving the party himself.
Just then Cally showed up. "Ron! What a pleasant surprise. Do you want to dance?" She asked leading him onto the dance floor.
Ron pulled back and said, "Sorry I can't I was just leaving."
"Oh Come on Ron! Why are you leaving now?" She asked sounding a little rude.
"Because I have quidditch practice back at the school." He lied.
Cally walked over to him. "Ooh! Can I watch, I've always wanted to watch you in action?"
"Uh sorry! But Harry's doing this new secret training that he doesn't want anybody to see." He said leaving a rejected Cally behind as he walked out into the dew-drenched cold.
