Jk Rowling still owns the characters...


She danced, happily, freely…with no thoughts about the man she was already married to. Her distressed thoughts were pushed away as she had a fun time with her friends, dancing on the floor. She almost forgot about her marriage. After they had exited the church, none of them had spoken a word to each other unless they had to. The atmosphere was lively, as the music had set it. Everyone was on the dance floor except for the groom. Kind of strange Hermoine thought. He sat alone is chair, silently and intensely concentrating, trying to process everything that happened. He was just legally married almost three hours ago. Funny, how the tables turned. The scared person whom he had just met was now was as active as his grandmother who looked like didn't age at all for sixty years old. At least, she wasn't some boring woman who he thought he might die from. Now he looked like the scared rat ready to run any second.

"Uncle Harry…" Little Susie had spoken in a worried tone.

"Hi Susie." He lovingly lifted her onto his lap which was now shaking lightly…."How's my little girl doing? Why aren't you dancing?" He asked restlessly, tired from fighting with his own thoughts.

"I was, but you weren't dancing. I don't like it when you're sad. Everyone is happy."

Harry softly laughed. How he loved this little enough to want children of his own. Children he silently whispered…Oh God…

Hermoine took the liberty to take some silent glances at Harry. In a matter of an hour, she had already met and even became friends with Harry's relatives. They seemed like good-hearted people and she enjoyed their company very much, some who were even dancing with her at that very moment. She saw his forlorn and secluded eyes and couldn't help but ask.

"Does Harry hate dancing!" She screamed over the music, still moving to its fast beat.

His cousin, Lavender furrowed her brows.

"Harry? Oh lord no. If anything, no one could get him off the dance floor if he got started."

"Then why is sitting alone in his chair? He seemed glued to it the whole time we got here." She directly pointed, and this time let her stare settle onto him longer. She saw finally his abandoned figure and gloomy face brighten up, just like when she smiled to him after he reached for his hand while they sat in front of the altar. There was a little girl with him.

"It's just wedding jitters. He'll get over it sooner of later!" Hermoine couldn't help but stare at him a while longer.

"I will Susie. Go on now. Have some fun." He gently pulled her off his lap and nudged her towards the dance floor to be left alone again.

"Not if you come along." She sternly said.

How could I resist those little baby blue eyes? Geez…he certainly was a sucker for children…even if they weren't his own..and, Oh yes will he cherish and love his own

"Ok. Once dance ok?" He smiled for her and uncomfortably left the chair he had made a friend with.

She tugged onto his hands and twirled her. Eventually he ended up laughing along the way. Hermoine caught him in the act. She saw his dull state sink from the girl's vigor. She couldn't help but smile too. His loving eyes...his radiant smile that filled the room, just a moment ago..the smile that helped relieve her even when her own parents couldn't help her out of her bothered feelingss…the smile…..that was now looking at her! …she immediately looked away…

"Alright! all you lovebirds out there…specifically the two young newlyweds…Up on the dance floor. We're slowing the tracks down for you guys." The DJ warned.

"Ok Susie. I have to go. Thank you for everything." He bent down, the floor already abandoned.

He hugged her small figure, thankful that he was at ease and naturally kissed her forehead.

Hermoine was already standing near their two figures, catching him in the act.

"Ahem…"she coughed. "May I cut in?" she asked, trying to suppress her smile.

"Well, of course" he answered and held his hand out for her, which she gladly took.

Although their nervousness had subsided, they now had to face…the intimacy. Harry couldn't stifle his shaky hands from encircling her waist and she calmly wrapped her hands around his neck.

"Sorry if I'm a little shake right now. Y'know—"

"Wedding jitters?"

"Yeah actually.

"I could tell. Well, you seemed to get out of your unfortunate condition when you took your first dance with that little girl."

"Oh! Susie? Yeah…she's great. Hoping for children of my own cause of her…" Harry almost choked, died, or had a heart attack. He was getting too comfortable around her. Hermoine almost fainted at his remark. Just a while ago they couldn't even look at each other during the wedding, and now they were discussing about children.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it in that way."

"It's ok." She tried to recover with a forced smile. Although the uncomfortable comment was made, she couldn't help but have his words tug her heart a bit…she liked his placid character behind his tough figure.

He cleared his throat. "Listen. I know that this might be the most uncomfortable situation to be in right now, but we'll divorce in 6 months or so. And I swear, I won't do anything uncomfortable of some sort either. I'm just as scared as you are."

She stupidly nodded and found herself obliviously leaning into his chest. Despite the loud music, she heard his heartbeat and found it to be her favorite thing to listen to. It reassured his honesty once more. He held her tighter, surprised by her unexpected need of convenience, but he didn't complain..not once..and they both melted into the song.

Where do you go when you're lonely

Where do you go when you're blue

Where do you go when you're lonely

I'll follow you

When the stars go blue, blue

When the stars go blue, blue

When the stars go blue, blue

When the stars go blue

Laughing with your pretty mouth

Laughing with your broken eyes

Laughing with your lover's tongue

In a lullaby

Where do you go when you're lonely

Where do you go when you're blue

Where do you go when you're lonely

I'll follow you

When the stars go blue, blue

When the stars go blue, blue

When the stars, when the stars go blue, blue

When the stars go blue

When the stars go blue, blue, blue

Stars go blue

When the stars go blue

Where do you go when you're lonely

Where do you go when you're blue, yeah

Where do you go when you're lonely

I'll follow you, I'll follow you, I'll follow you

I'll follow you, I'll follow you, yeah

Where do you go, yeah

Where do you go, Where do you go
