Chapter 25: What love can make People Do
Hermione was in her room, burying her head into the pillow, as she cried her tears out, trying to figure out what she has left to do, when she heard music playing from downstairs
It was a very familiar sound, which she recognized when she was just a girl; her father would play that song from his old records which he kept in storage, she just never thought of hearing it for a long time now
She came down following the sound in the living room, where she saw her father and mother there, dancing like they did when they were in her age
Her mother would always tell her the story of how they met with her father, how they fell in love with each other at first sight, she thought it was all cheesy but it warmed her heart seeing them still sweet to one another
She watched them dance together, that made her smile somehow
When Harry came up from behind her, "Would you like to dance?" he asked bowing to her like she was a queen or something, extending his hand to her
"Harry…" she wanted to apologize to what she said earlier but before she could, he had grabbed her hand and pulled her going upstairs
"Harry, where are you taking me?" she asked trying to keep up with him, bringing her to the rooftop
Suddenly letting go of her and turned to face her, although she was still clueless why he had brought her there, it was still cold, the air was practically freezing but the moon was still shinning brightly
He took a step closer to her, taking her hand, placing his hand on her waist, and then placing her hand on his own waist, before she knew it he started slow dancing with her
She was speechless; they only starred at each other, she tried to look away once in a while but whenever she looked at his eyes, it made her stomach do flip flops
She followed his step as they danced, even if there wasn't any music, it didn't feel weird but it felt wonderful, "I never knew what a great dancer you were…" she said teasingly, blushing a bit
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me yet…" he said laughing, spinning her a bit
"Well, am impressed…" she added, when he suddenly bending his knee, making her loose her balance a bit, that's just what he wanted to do, as she almost fell, he caught her holding her waist, looking at her eyes like there was no tomorrow
She was mesmerized when he looked into her eyes, something about it just felt right, drawing his face nearer to hers, and she closed her eyes waiting for his lips to reach hers, before they can even touch
"Mione? James? Are you two up there?" Mrs. Granger asked from downstairs
"Yes mum! We're both here…" Hermione answered back, getting back up to her feet
"I guess…we better get inside…" Hermione said feeling a bit uncomfortable
"Yeah…" Harry said, as they headed back inside
Ginny was in her room again, starring at the green dress her mother had given her earlier, she was so unsure about going to dance
Remembering the gift Draco had given her, she took it out of her drawer, opening it slowly, her heart was racing a bit as she opened it even more
When she did, there was a small box, she opened it to find a silver heart shaped pendant, something was in graved on it, and she took a closer look at it,
"Love will always find a way to the two hearts that believe in it…"
She placed it around her around her neck, how wonderful it felt on her neck, remembering the words her mother had told her before
"Doesn't always mean that when two people are different…they can't be together somehow…"
How she wishes it was that simple, if only he wasn't a Malfoy, if only he wasn't on the side of darkness, what he said earlier about her not needing to love him rang on her head, how she wanted to tell him that she too felt the same way but something held her back
"Hey Ginny! Getting emotional again…is not going to solve whatever's bothering you on your mind right now, you know that?" Ron asked coming in without knocking
Making her pull the necklace off her neck, placing it under her pillow,
"Dosen't anyone know how to knock anymore?" she asked looking at him from the door
"Sorry…I guess it just slipped my mind…I was just wondering why you aren't you're usual self these days…" Ron continued leaning on the wall, facing her
"I just have things on my mind okay?" she said standing from he was
"Then I guess you'll follow exactly what Harry and I have said then?" he asked reffering to the fact that he wanted Hermione and her to just leave fighting Voldemort to Harry and him
She was just about to say something when she remembered Draco asking her to promise him to stay safe, she backed down and simply replied, "Fine…" she said facing the opposite way
"Good…" he said as he went out
What has come into my mind that I had actually agreed to back down from the war because of Draco? She didn't even promise him anything, what love can make people do is amazing...Ginny thought to herself
