Its a date...

Draco and Hermione made there way out to the dance floor once again…Hermione was a little shocked that he just blew the whole thing off like it was nothing…but then again it was Draco and he didn't like to show emotion. As soon as they started to dance Ron walked towards them. "Can I cut in?" he asked in a civil tone.

Draco scanned Hermoine's face and she gave him a nod of the head. "yes, you can, but I am watching." He threatened. Ron chose to ignore the comment because he really didn't need to be getting on Hermione's bad side. They swayed slowly to the music.

"I am only doing this because Dee asked me too…don't even begin to think you are any where close to being forgiven."

"I know. And I am so sorry." Ron said apologetically. "For everything."

"I know. It is just hard right now Ron. I love you, I just don't know if I can ever forgive you." Hermione said as her voice cracked.

"I know that you can't forgive me now. And I understand it. I just never meant for any of this to happen. I never meant to hurt you. Ron said softly and kissed her forehead.

Hermione put hers arms around his shoulders tighter and rested her head on his chest. As she inhaled deeply, she recognized that smell that she had missed the last few weeks, the sweat, deodorant, cologne, and soap smell. He also missed his strong arms around her. Protecting her from everything else. She looked up into his green eyes and was caught up in the pools of green. And all at once her lips found Ron's, before she knew what she was doing. She pulled away. "Ron, I miss you."

"I miss you too." He said, leaning for another kiss, but Hermione backed away.

"But we need a trial seperation. Get to know each other and work on our whole relationship."

"I understand and I agree. We need some time."

Draco and Dee were watching the whole scene. Neither of them seemed pleased. They couldn't tell what was being said, but they both saw the kiss. Justin was watching the whole thing too. He had been watching the whole thing evolve. Even though he didn't know the whole story, he had been watching Draco and Hermione ever chance he got. The couple intrigued him, especially Draco. Draco was everything Justin was at his last school, and he was going to let Draco stop him from being that now. As the dance finished and Hermione and Ron started off the dance floor, Justin walked up to Hermione, right before Draco could reach her.

"Can I get a dance from the most bueatiful out here?" he asked. Hermione blushed slightly, and excepted his hand.

"so I haven't seen much of you, even though you are supposed to be helping me out." Justin said.

"I am sorry." Hermione said apogetically. "I have been really busy with homework and head duties and all."

"Well, why don't you make it up to me tomorrow."

"okay, what time should we meet and discuss everything. I can help you out with some of your homework and things also."

"Well I have quiditch till 10, but I was thinking that instead of going over school we could go out to Hogsmeade." Justin said, trying to win a date with her.

"I don't know Justin." Hermione said, waveringly.

"O, come on." He said flashing his best smile at her. "we need to get out and have some fun."

"Fine." Hermione said reluctantly. the smile absolutely won her over. It was cute and there was a little tinkle in his eyes. His boy-like face just absolutely captured her. 'Why haven't I noticed those beautiful blue eyes before?'

"Great, it is a date. I will pick you up at 11." They continued to dance to the end of the song.

She walks by, every head turns
You can see how
hot her fire burns
He didn't know what a good thing he had
It's too late, and that's too bad…

The music faded off. "Well thank-you for the dance and I will see you tomorrow."

She noticed Dee was talking to the DJ as she excaped from the dance floor. "Well, yall, we are going to start line dances now. Ya know that I come from the country so yall are going to get this from a real professional." Dee said as Hermione sat herself down on a hay bail. Draco came to join her.

"Arem't you just Miss Popular tonight? What did they all have to say?"

"Well, Ron and I are on a trial seperation."

"Is that was what that kiss meant?" Draco said sarcastically.

"Draco." She said exasperatedly. "We just decided it was best to hold off on our relationship. And Justin is taking me out tomorrow."

"So you get rid of Ron, and you are on to the next one tomorrow? And I thought that I was bad."

"Draco, its just going to Hogsmeade. We are going over some stuff and getting out. I haven't had time for any fun since school last year, and I need a break."

"well then can I have a "date" with you later tonight in our common room to discuss the dance and everything." Draco said, putting fingers up in quotations around the word date.

"yeah" Hermione said. "by the way, Thanks for everything." She leaned her head on his shoulder. Draco put his arm around her. They didn't realize how long they sat there, but soon the DJ was announcing the last song of the night.

They both stood up, but Ron appeared infront of them. "I know you said one dance, but I was wondering if I could get the last dance?" Hermione looked back at Draco and he nodded.

"Sure." While they danced, she noticed Dee was dancing with the hot guy that they bumped into on the platform. 'not bad, Dee' she thought. 'I must talk to her about that later.'

No other lover ever really cared
When I've reached out for you you've always been there
Now I'm so far away and baby I'm scared
I never knew lonely 'til you

You are my rock and the strength I need
To keep me sane in this life that I lead
Now I'm not with you and my broken heart bleeds
I never knew lonely 'til you

I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
I never knew lonely 'til you

I can't make up for the times I've been gone
But I'll prove I love you in the words of this song
Back in your arms girl it's where I belong
I never knew lonely 'til you

I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
Girl I never knew lonely 'til you

I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
Girl I never knew lonely 'til you

Draco was waiting by the side when the song finally ended. "Are you ready to head?" he asked when they walked off the dance floor. Hermione nodded. "so you want to go back to my dorm?" He said jokingly and winked at her. Hermione just smiled and rolled her eyes…

I send my love to all of you! Please review. Much love! Muah!
