Ok...so here I go again...P...first of all:sorry for taking 8 days to update...but I´ve got a really good excuse! There was something wrong with my computer and I couldn´t list my stories...thanks to that I´m only able to update my story at work (well, my father´s office to be exact...) and It´ll take a bit more for me to post new chapters...Before you can lay your eyes on this chapter I just wanted to thank the ones who reviewed the last one...P...On with the story!
"William!" Hermione searched blindly with her hands.
"Calm down...I'm right here." he grabbed her hands, making Hermione feel safe.
"Can I open my eyes?"
"Nope, just a bit longer..." he said, guiding her. Their shoes made a familiar tapping noise and a light breeze brushed against their faces.
Five minutes later, William finally stopped walking.
"You can open your eyes now..." he said with a smirk on his face.
Hermione took a peek and slowly opened her eyes, as well as her mouth, surprised. The green neon lights and the music beat that emerged from the place in front of them clearly informed Hermione that it was some kind of night club.
"W-where are we?"
"Hogsmead" he said simply, his face beaming with satisfaction from her surprised look.
"But...I've never seen this place before..."
"Well...you can't see it till your at least seventeen."
"Oh..."
"C'mon, let's go inside..." he said grabbing her arm softly.
William pushed the door open, bringing Hermione behind. She looked around the large room. There was a small bar and a stage, now occupied with a punk/alternative band that turned the public completely wild. She was amused to see a lot of Hogwarts among the crowd, like Pansy Parkinson, Anne Pratt, Lavender, Parvati, a bunch of Ravenclaws and, the one and only, Draco Malfoy.
What? I thought he went back to the common room...
"So...you like it?"
"Like it? Absolutely not..." she said with a sly smile. "I love it!" she said jumping on to William and hugging him. Seeing his surprised face, she let go of him, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. He chuckled at her and continued. "Wait there...I want you to meet someone..." he quickly disappeared in the crowd and came back with a long haired girl dressed in Slytherin robes. She looked a lot like him, except for her long straight hair and icy blue eyes.
"Hermione...this is Anne, my sister" William introduced her.
"Anne... this is Hermione, my...huh...friend"
"Hey!" Anne greeted her with a huge smile.
"Hi" she replied also smiling.
"Nice to meet you..." they said together and, stunned, they burst out laughing.
"Glad to know that you'll get along just fine..." William said crossing his arms against his chest.
"Sure...If you need me I'll be with Pansy and Draco, enjoy yourselves!" Anne almost yelled for them to hear, disappearing in the large crowd.
"D´you want something to drink?" William asked, turning to Hermione.
"Yeah...but, please, no more Fire Whiskey..." she answered, making him chuckle.
They headed for the bar, sat down and William asked for two butterbeers.
"So this is where you hang out all night while I sleep, hun..."
"Yeah, most of the times...but I also go to the Forbidden Forest at least once a week...you know...to hunt..." he said casually, trying not to scare her.
"Alone?"
"Nope...Anne goes with me..." he took a sip of his drink, making her smile. "What?"
"You know you don't have to drink that..." she chuckled, knowing that the butterbeer would almost taste like dirt to a vampire...
He smiled back, putting his bottle down on the counter. He then got up from his seat and bowed courteously at Hermione, offering her his hand.
"Would you care to dance?" he asked politely, trying to hold back a teasing smile.
Hermione took his hand and, copying his polite tone, she replied "Most certainly", and, with that, they headed for the huge crowd in front of the stage.
Everyone had a partner: Pansy had Draco, Hermione had William and Anne, Parvati and Lavender had found themselves some cute Ravenclaws; and till almost midnight they danced non-stop.
Hermione didn't have that much fun since...since…well, since she was born! No one had ever cared about her like William did...and no one had ever cared about William like Hermione did...(A/N: sights
It was midnight and everyone danced to the last song before the band could leave. The song soon had ended, but the lead vocals decided to sing just one more.
"Hey to all you guys and girls out there!"
The crowd went wild!
"Tonight we're gonna sing just one more song..." he said as the public went mad with excitement."...and this is a special one...couples only!"
William smirked at Hermione.
"Sorry, but I can't..."
"Just follow my lead" he interrupted her, gently putting her hands around his neck and his around her waist. Hermione's heart was beating violently and she knew that the vampire could hear it.
The lead vocals hit the guitar with some sweet notes and started to sing...
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends.
They were dancing slowly and Hermione was now calming down with the song.
Like my father's come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends.
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are.
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
(Guitar plays calmly)
(And then the drums join in)
Hermione was so distracted with the music that now her face was centimeters from William's...
(Another guitar joins in, rougher this time)
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Their faces were getting closer, and William's lips were brushing against hers...
Wake me up when September ends.
As the guitar started playing again he kissed her...They didn't care about who was around, they just wanted each other...They deepened the kiss...braking apart only to gasp for air...
Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends.
And then they kissed again, Hermione's fingers clutching his spiky black hair and his on her waist, pushing her towards him...
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
(Guitar plays)
Finally, as the guitar stopped playing, they stopped kissing, and Hermione's head was happily lying on William's shoulder, while they continued dancing.
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends.
Everyone applauded noisily as the song ended, but Hermione's head was still resting on his shoulder, and his hands on her waist, and they would happily stay like this forever...
"Hermione?" William called softly.
"Yeah...?" she replied, almost falling asleep.
"We better get going..."
"You're right..." she said lifting her head up. "Just give me a minute to go to the WC..." she added, heading off to the ladies restroom. Hermione got in and closed the door behind her. She turned around to discover that she wasn't in the girls bathroom, but at a dirty dark alley.
Oops, wrong door...
She spun around for the door but someone grabbed her violently and pulled her from behind - only this time it wasn't William...
"Hello there, cupcake..." a rough cold voice said, breathing heavily on Hermione's neck.
"GET OFF ME!" she shouted, trying to move.
"Rough, aren't you? Well, me too..." he whispered as his pointy teeth touched her neck, but he was violently thrown at the ground by someone else.
"What the?"
"Don't you get near her..." William growled at the vampire on the floor, showing his own pair of sharp teeth.
Hermione stood beside William, his arm around her shoulders protectively.
"Well, well...isn't it William...making friends with humans..." he said recognizing his face.
"It isn't your business who I make friends with, Varney..."
"You're right...just be careful...someone might take her away from you, that is, if you don't bite her yourself..." he teased with a sly grin, receiving a frightening growl from William as a reply.
William turned to Hermione.
"Let's go..."
"Goodbye William Pratt..." the other vampire waved teasingly at him, but this time William didn't care to reply.
They quickly got inside the club, now almost empty.
"Are you ok?" he asked Hermione, concerned.
"Yeah...but who...?"
"Did he hurt you?"
"No...who was...?"
"Are you sure?" he continued, checking her neck for any bites.
"Yes!" she answered annoyed "But who was that freak?"
"It doesn't matter now...we just gotta get to Hogwarts really fast and tomorrow I'll tell you..."
