A/N - Thank you all my reviewers! I'll do individual thank you's when I get
my own internet and enough time back. Like I mentioned before, I need
suggestions for characters and songs. Anything. Unless you want Dumbledore
to sing "Butterfly" Chapter um.. 53 I might have to divide this story. Like
after they advance in years or something. But still, I'll take any
character or song request as soon as I get it. No waiting list. On with the
story!

The entire great hall looked on speechless as Draco and Hermione entered together. All eyes were on them. It was rather discomfortable. Until of course the music started. And when it did, the dancing began. Draco and Hermione made the most perfect visible couple. Although, they were happy together, the people around them were not happy with them being together.
"I can't believe she would even go near him!" Ron stated.
"I agree with you Ron, there is something very peculiar going on here. Maybe the Imperious Curse?" Harry suggested.
"Please! Boys, always misinterpreting matters of the heart. Any one can tell they are in love." Cho , Harry's date, concluded the argument, "Just look at them. Any one can see."
~Tale as old as time~
"It's true love too, see how they stare deep into each other eyes?" Cho asked.
"Bull! Hermione could never love a jerk like that!" Harry insisted.
~True as it can be~
"He's our worse enemy! She is once again fraternizing with the enemy! Somebody should go to talk to that girl!" Ron told the group.
~Barely even friends~
"Ron, he loves her. You can tell by the way he holds her. He's not trying to do anything bad to her." Cho corrected him.
~Then somebody bends, unrepentantly~
"Come on Harry, let's dance. We might get close to them and then you'll really see what's going on." Cho ordered.
Harry and Cho danced across the Great Hall, until they reach a better viewing and hearing distance of Hermione and Draco.
"Hermione. I'm really glad you finally agreed to come with. I don't know what I would have done with out you." they heard Draco say.
"See! He loves her! See how kind he's being! He can be really sweet when he wants to!" Cho exclaimed.
~Just a little change~
"Draco, I must admit, I'm glad I agreed too. But what will Harry and Ron say when they finally see us together?" they heard Hermione ask.
"Don't worry about them, there nothing and you shouldn't worry." Draco told her.
Harry gave Cho a glare.
"Ok, so maybe he can be sweet *just* to Hermione." Cho consented.
~Small to say the least~
"Draco, won't your father disagree with this?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, but whatever he does. Oh, Hermione, this a big risk I admit." Draco confessed.
"Great! So now we have Harry, Ron, and your father after us!" Hermione gave an insane laugh.
Cho pursed her lips. How awful she thought it must be for them to have to be scared to be together.
~Both a little scared~
"That's it! I can't stand it anymore! I've got to talk to her!" Harry told Cho.
"Harry, give them some more peace, please!" Cho begged.
But Harry left Cho standing by herself to watch him go up to Hermione and Draco.
"Draco, what do you think you are doing with *my* girlfriend?" Harry stated.
"Harry I am not your girlfriend!" Hermione exclaimed.
Cho felt anger toward Harry. This was unexpected.
~Neither one prepared~
"Hermione is beautiful! You don't deserve her, Malfoy." Harry spat.
"Potter, I may be a beast in your eyes, but I love Hermione, and that's what matters. I think that if you are truly her friend, you'll let her make her own decision." Draco declared.
Both looked toward her for an answer.
~Beauty and the Beast~
"Harry." Hermione started.
Cho gasped. Hermione was actually going to choose Harry over Draco!
~Ever just the same~
"Harry, I want to be with Draco." Hermione finally said. Everyone was surprised by this statement.
~Ever a surprise~
"But Hermione." Harry started.
"Listen, Harry, we can still be friends. But you have to let me make my own decision about who I date." Hermione stated. Harry shook his head yes in confusion. Cho took this time to lead Harry away and let the couple continue to dance.
~Ever as before~
"See Harry, that wasn't so bad was it?" Cho asked.
Harry wouldn't reply, he just danced and stared off into space.
Hermione and Draco left the Great Hall and went to the Grounds to dance there. Cho sensed that Harry still didn't trust Draco, so she decided they would dance at a safe viewing and hearing distance.
"Hermione, are you sure about this? You know the risks. You know what could happen." Draco stuttered out.
"Draco, I love you. I think that will be able to get us through anything." Hermione stated.
~Ever just as sure~
Draco held Hermione close. The sun began to come up over the horizon. The few rays visible reflected off the lake.
~As the sun will rise~
"Awww isn't this Romantic?" Cho asked Harry.
"Sure is." Finally.. .Hary was responding.
"They look so cute together, don't they?" Cho asked.
"Not as cute as us." Harry told her.
~Tale as old as time~
"Hear that, Harry? That's my favorite song, dance with me please." Cho requested.
"Anything." Harry smiled.
And so they danced. Out the corner of her eye, Cho saw Hermione and Draco dancing as well.
~Tune as old as song~
As Cho lay her head on Draco's shoulder while dancing she heard Draco and Hermione talking.
"Draco, how long will we last?" Hermione asked.
"As long as we can." Draco replied and held her closer.
~Bittersweet and strange~
Draco lifted Hermione's head up to his own and kissed her. Cho was surprised. Draco could really be caring. More shocked was Draco himself.
~Finding you can change~
"I suppose I'm not completely right about Draco." Harry admitted to Cho.
"Of course not, but you'll get there." Cho told him.
"I suppose he really does love her and her him." Harry continued.
"Most likely," Cho smiled at him.
"I love you Cho, you know that right?" Harry asked.
"Now I do." Cho told him and they held each other closer.
~Learning you were wrong~
"Harry, does this mean we're going steady now?" Cho asked.
"I'd hope so," replied Harry.
Cho smiled. She could hear the almost exact conversation from Hermione and Draco.
~Certain as the sun~
The sun came fully up from the horizon. Everyone was called inside.
~Rising in the east~
"This year's Yule Ball has been quite a success," began Dumbledore, "I'm honored to announce this year's first King and Queen of Christmas."
"What in the world?" Cho wondered.
"It's a muggle, well I suppose now magic, thing," Harry explained to her.
~Tale as old as time~
Dumbledore continued, "Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger are this year's King and Queen. Would those two please come to the front and share the royalty dance?"
Draco and Hermione came up and danced.
~Song as old as rhyme~
And as they danced, Cho couldn't help be reminded of how the Beast like Draco fell for the beautiful Hermione. It was too good to be true.
~Beauty and the Beast~
"And now children, the Yule Ball finally comes to an end." Professor McGonagal announced.
Everyone trudged toward there dormitories after sweet goodbyes to their partners.
~Tale as old as time~
Hermione hummed to herself as she layed her head down on her pillow and began to sleep. She would never forget the music played when Draco and her were in the spotlight in front of the entire school. Together as one.
~Song as old as rhyme~
Cho wrote in her diary. She could not get over how love could cure the hardest hearts and beauty could charm the most rudest beasts.
~Beauty and the Beast~
A/N- Hoped you liked it. Tune in next time for Harry Potter's spotlight of Can You Feel the Love Tonight (*not* the one from Lion King). Part Of Your World from the Little Mermaid by Lavender Brown. Grow Up (Scooby Doo commercial) by Ron Weasley. Once Upon a Dream from Sleeping Beauty by Katie Bell. I'm In Over My Head from Titan A.E. by George Weasley. Unless of course, I get any requests. (By the way if you request something you don't have to request both things.)
