Chapter 27 Hanging By A Moment

"Why are there three Muggle suits here?" Ron asked.

"We wouldn't want you stuck with that horrid think you wore to the Yule Ball would we?" Harry said with a smile.

The boys got ready early and waited for in the common room for the girls to finish.

Twenty minutes to eight the girls came out of Hermione's room.

Hermione looked like a Muggle Prom Queen or so Draco thought. She was in a white floor length tube top gown. She had white stain gloves on her hands that went all the way up to her elbow. She was wearing beautiful glass slippers (Think Drew Barrymore in Ever After). She has light makeup on and he hair was done up in soft curls.

Next came Ginny, she was wearing a green halter dress with matching green gloves, her hair was done like Hermione's and she had light green eye shadow above, with a touch of lip gloss.

The three men stood speechless. They stood there staring for the longest time before Hermione's alarm went off and she handed Ron the potion.

"Well are we going to stand here all night or we going to the ball?" Ginny said with her hands on her hips in a very Mrs. Weasley like manor.

The three men snapped out of their trances and gave the girls their compliments. At 8:30 the party was just getting started, the dinner dishes has just been cleared and the DJ was just about finished setting up. The group of five was sitting around a large table reliving their last 6 years. All the pranks, the fights, Quidditch matches, the good along with the bad.

The DJ's voice was heard over the buzz.

"Attention your head Boy has some word for you."

Draco left a skeptical looking Hermione sitting next to her friends. He reached the stage and put a magnifying charm on his voice.

"Welcome to the Valentines ball! I hope you all have a wonderful evening. I would like to say a few things at this time." Draco's eyes said scanning over the crowd.

"Firstly, I may have been horrible to many of you over the years and for that I apologize, thought I do not deserve your forgiveness and I still asking for it.

Secondly, we all know the final battle is just around the corner, I urge you all to think carefully, about which side you are on, or should be on for that matter. Hogwarts has been good to us, we have been loved and protected, Blood means nothing, we are all witches and Wizards. The smartest of us a Muggleborn. Here I am Pureblood and I get down on my knees and ask Hermione, the Muggleborn, Harry, the Half Blood, and Ron the Pureblood to forgive me for ever making fun of them," he paused and Harry, Ron and Hermione all give him a thumbs up. The entire room erupted in applause.

Draco's heart felt light as a feather. Once the noise settled Draco spoke again.

"There is one more thing, Hermione, please come here I dedicate this song to you, my friend, my lover, my soulmate." Draco jumped down from the stage and held out his and asking Hermione to dance. The music started and his still magnified voice began to sing.

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me now...

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That can change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you...

Just hanging by a moment (here with you)
Hanging by a moment (here with you)
Hanging by a moment here with you

Everyone stood in awe; tears were streaming down Hermione's face. Draco dropped down to one knee.

"Hermione Jane Granger, you are my best friend, the love of my life. These past few months I have lived for the moment. Now I want to live for the future. I am now asking you, in front of all of Hogwarts if you will marry me," He said as he pulled out a box containing the Malfoy family ring.

The entire room was silent each person waiting with bated breath.

Hermione was in shock, she didn't move didn't breathe, the all of a sudden reality hit her, "Yes!" She yelled out. Draco slipped the ring on her finger, yelled of happiness were heard around the room.

Draco picked Hermione up and spun her around. For a brief moment he left him self dream, he left him self forget what he had to do.

The dance floor became full as the students began to dance around. For a few hours the groups of 5 let themselves forget about the war. The let themselves be happy.

Around 10 o'clock Draco pulled Hermione away from the crowd.

"Angel, I need you to promise me something," He said.

"Of course, what is it?" She asked hesitantly.

"The final battle is near, if I don't make it I want you to move on with your life, to have in love, and get married and have lots of babies," Draco said with a hitch in his voice.

Hermione was stoned she has not expected this. "Draco why are you saying this?"

"We need to be prepared for everything, just promise me love." He begged

"Draco I…" Hermione was cut off by an owl dropping a letter into Draco's hands.

He did not have a good feeling about this.

Master Malfoy,

If you wish to see your mother alive again, you will come to Hogsmeade at eleven, if you do not join my ranks your mother will die.

Draco stood frozen in fear, before adrenalin kicked in and he ran to the stage and cut the music.

"All 4th years and under follow your prefects to your common room and stay there until Hermione, myself or a Professor comes to retrieve you."

Everyone stood there gapping at Draco.

"MOVE!" Draco yelled.
