Chapter 10

Around 8 o'clock (one hour before the dance), the girls' dormitory erupted in total chaos. Apparently Parvati accidentally got a lot of mascara on Lavender's dress and Lav thought it was the end of the world. Luckily, Hermione was there and knew the perfect charm to get rid of the stains.

Since 'Mione helped Lav with her dress, Lav offered to help her with her hair… and that she did… she made it look amazing! It was straight all the way down to the ends where it curled under slightly. She was wearing a baby blue dress that set off her eyes really well. The dress went all the way to floor and had diamonds around the ends of it.

At 8:30 (the time Harry and Hermione had agreed to meet) Harry and Ron came bounding down the stairs, Harry's eyes sweeping the Common Room for Herm… but there was no sign of her. Oh well… he thought. She's just running late…I bet that Lav, Parvati, and Ginny just HAD to fix her up for the "big night". Harry had let them all in on the fact that he was going to tell Herm he loved her that night. Some people might think that was not a big deal, but to himself and Herm, it would mean the world.

Suddenly, the girls' dormitory door opened, and out walked Hermione. She took Harry's breath away. She was absolutely gorgeous. He had never seen anyone as pretty as her, and he told himself that he had better not ruin it. She looked like an angel as she came gliding down the stairs.

"Wow…" He said. "You look…positively amazing!"

"You don't look so bad yourself." She said smiling up at him and giving him a wink. He did have to admit; he took extra care in getting ready for the dance.

"Ok, you lovebirds. We really need to get a move on because I told Luna we would meet her there at 8:40, and it's already 8:38. LET'S GO!" Ron said, trying to get them to listen to him.

"Ok, ok, ok…we're coming!" Harry said as he slipped his hand in Hermione's. They all walked down the stairs to the Great Hall, Ron leading the way.

When they reached the bottom of the stairs, Luna walked up smiling and gave Ron a kiss on the cheek. Even Harry had to admit, she did look pretty, but not near as pretty as his girl.

"Shall we go in?" Luna asked sweetly, never taking her eyes off Ron. It was like no one else was in the room when those two looked at each other.

"Yes, let's." Ron replied… he tried so hard to be gentlemanly when Luna was around…

So, they all entered together. There were a lot of weird couples there… but the weirdest of the night had to have been Goyle and Pansy Parkinson (or so they thought)…

The first few songs were a blast. Dean & Lav, Seamus & Parvati, Harry & Hermione, and Ron & Luna all formed a group together and danced. They also sat together at a long table. They were having so much fun that they didn't even notice that neither Ginny nor a certain other person weren't there yet.

Finally Harry and Hermione's song started to play. As the words to "A Moment Like This" by Kelly Clarkson begin coming from the speakers, the couple walked onto the dance floor. They wrapped their arms around each other and swayed in time to the music. Harry was very nervous, but knew he wanted to tell her this.

"Herm, there is something I have been wanting to tell you lately, and I think this is the perfect time." He whispered into her ear.

"Ok, what's up?" She smiled at him.

"Well, I just wanted to say that I… I… I lo-" His sentence was cut short by the doors to the Great Hall opening and in walked two people Harry thought he would never see together- much less holding hands…
