Thanks to everybody who reviewed, added this to story alerts or favourite stories. Special thanks to BellaSand, who read and reviewed to every single chapter, even though she started reading when it was up to chapter 3! Also to anyone who continued to read this, even after the huge gap in updates.

Thank you to everyone again; this wouldn't have happened without you! Seriously, it wouldn't have. I would have just given up a long while back.

I'm going to start work on a few other stories I have going now, but this time I'm not posting them until I've got them all typed out.

Recap:"You're my unicorn"

He couldn't say anything more, though, as he was cut off by her lips on his in a soft kiss.

They were oblivious to the growing crowd of students openly gawking at the unlikely couple. They didn't notice Harry and Ginny looking at them, happy for them. They didn't even notice Dumbledore smiling genially as a disgruntled Professor McGonagall handed him several golden galleons.

Epilogue

It was the day of the dance. Surprisingly, not many people knew about Hermione and Draco's relationship yet. The few that had seen them in Hogsmeade had been mainly first and second years, and no one else believed them. Harry and Ginny knew, but Ron still thought that Hermione was angry at Draco and that her reaction to his proposal to date was just 'a little tantrum'. He firmly believed that she would come around.

Everyone, however, knew about Hermione's dress. Not the dress itself, but the magical effect. Hermione had no idea how the entire school knew about the dress, since Ginny and Luna swore they hadn't told anyone. However the word got around, it meant that Ron was twice as determined to dance with Hermione.

Draco waited for her at the bottom of the staircase, wearing a set of new dress robes.

Hermione descended, looking like a fairy-tale princess. Her hair was tied up in an elegant bun, with copper-curled ringlets falling down her neck and framing her face. The dress hugged her curves, and he felt like the happiest man alive. He had eyes for no one else as he took her hand, kissing it softly and murmuring how beautiful she looked.

He led her to the dance floor, where soft waltzing music was already playing. He was blocked, however, by an angry Ronald Weasely. He was wearing his same old dress robes, but he had charmed them an angry red that, along with his hair, made him resemble a tomato. He blocked their way, and held up the procession of couples to the dance floor.

"Hermione, what are you doing?" he asked, his eyes locking on to hers.

She lifted her chin slightly, speaking defiantly. "I'm going to the dance" she said.

"With him?" he asked, the anger evident in his voice.

"Yes, Ron" she said simply. The next moment, he was out of their way, rubbing his burning arm furiously. Only Draco could see Hermione's wand lowering in her hand.

They continued, moving to the dance floor. The band played a romantic song, and they danced slowly to the waltz. Everyone pointed and gawked at the couple, some of the third years exclaiming that they had seen them in Hogsmeade. They were oblivious to it all, both of them in bliss as Draco cradled Hermione.

At the staff table, Dumbledore was moving up and down the seats, collecting his winnings from various disgruntled teachers. Snape handed over what looked like a year's supply of golden galleons. Only Trelewany didn't hand over any money, proclaiming that she had seen it with her 'Inner Eye'.

Ron stormed out of the Great Hall with his frayed and smoking robes. On his way, Lavander stopped him. She didn't say anything, but dumped her punch on his head. Parvati joined her and did the same, dumping her sparkling punch on the spluttering Ron.

Draco kissed Hermione as the song ended, some of the girls sighing at the romance of it.

They knew that this was their happy ending. Draco had found his unicorn, and Hermione had found her true love.
