Chapter 14: The Ball
Draco's eyes grew wide and his mouth was hanging open. Hermione entered and she looked a hundred percent beautiful.
Her dress was a halter kind and it was white and it fell all the way down to her toes while diamonds outlined it. It was a little bit tight in the upper part and it formed her beautiful body perfectly.
Her hair was tied in a bun while some strands were hanging around her face. There was like glitter on her hair that made it shine with every light reflected.
Her make-up was simple but it was perfect. She place a little bit of blush and simple lip gloss. In short, she looked perfect.
All the guys looked at her and obviously liked her body. Some of their dates were angry since the guys kept gawking at Hermione.
Hermione entered the hall and did a quick scan. She saw Draco seating alone while some girls kept gawking at him. He looked nice. His hair was around his face and she had to admit, it made him look more handsome.
She then saw Harry with Pansy and then Ron with Lavender. She walked over to them and said,
"Hi! I didn't know you two were going with each other."
"Which of us?"
"Pansy and Harry."
"Well, Harry asked me to go with him and I said yes."
"How did he ask you?"
"Owl."
"Nice job Harry."
"I was shy to ask her personally so I just owled her."
She then turned to Ron and Lavender. "Ron, why didn't you tell me you were going with Lav?"
"I dunno. I just wanted you to find out tonight."
"Okay. Finally, you two are together. I was waiting for the two of you to realize your sparks."
The two didn't answer but they blushed. Hermione didn't want to be a fifth wheel so she left and sat in another table by herself. She saw Draco was still alone so she walked over to him.
"Hi Drake!"
"Hey Mione!"
"I was wondering, can I sit with you?"
"Of course you can."
They were going to talk but a boy from Ravenclaw asked Hermione to dance. She accepted the offer and the boy led her to the dance floor.
After the song, Hermione went back to her seat. Draco wasn't there and she saw him dancing with a girl. He looked bored but she thought he didn't want to hurt the girl. Another boy went to Hermione and asked her to dance.
Song after song, a guy always asked her to dance and she accepted each one. She finally left the dance floor to go to the buffet table so that she could eat a little bit.
She looked at the time and it was 11:30. She became more excited about meeting the guy. She couldn't wait. This guy could be the one.
Time passed and it was already 11:57. They had planned to meet a minute after. The song ended and she was in the middle of the floor. The couples started to leave and a song started playing. It was a muggle one. It was Back at One by Brian McKnight.
She looked around and realized she was alone.
It's undeniable... that we should be together...
It's unbelievable how I used to say that I'd fall never
Draco went near Hermione and then he place his arms around her waist.
"Hey Hermione! It's me. I'm the guy who owled you." Hermione place her arms around Draco's neck and they stared into each other's eyes.
"So it's you? I should have known."
The basis you need to know, if you don't know just how I feel,
Then let me show you now that I'm for real...
"You look beautiful tonight."
"Thank you."
If all things in time, time will reveal...
Yeah...
They didn't talk at all but the silence was comfortable.
One... you're like a dream come true...
Two... just wanna be with you...
Three... girl it's plain to see... that you're the only one for me...
Draco leaned in while tilting his head. Hermione tilted her head then the two closed their eyes. There lips collided there emotions were expressed in that kiss. And the emotion was love. This kiss was their first kiss. The first kiss they experienced in their whole life.
It was perfect timing. The moment their lips touched, the snow started falling down. It was a beautiful scene. People envied the romance and the couples started dancing again.
Four... repeat steps one through three...
Five... make you fall in love with me...
If ever I believe my work is done... then I start Back at One (yeah)
They pulled back and they continued staring into each other's eyes. Hermione smiled and so did Draco. Hermione rested her head on Draco's chest while Draco place his chin lightly on Hermione's head and they continued dancing.
So Incredible... the way things work themselves out...
And all emotional, once you know what it's all about babe...
And undesirable... for us to be apart...
Never would of made it very far...
Cause you know that you got the keys to my heart
Cause...
One... you're like a dream come true
Two... just wanna be with you
Three... girl it's plain to see... that you're the only one for me
Four.. .repeat steps one through three
Five... make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done... then I start Back at One...
Say farewell to the dark night... I see the coming of the sun...
I feel like a little child... whose life has just begun...
You came and breathed new life
Into this lonely heart of mine...
You threw out the life line... just in the Nick of Tiimmmeeee...
One... you're like a dream come true
Two... just wanna be with you
Three... girl it's plain to see... that you're the only one for me... girl and...
Four... repeat steps one through three
Five... make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done... then I start Back at One.
The song ended but they kept on dancing. They didn't care what happened anymore. The world didn't matter as long as they had each other.
At the end of the last song, they kissed again. They went back to their dorm together while holding hands as if they were afraid to let go.
