4. This Dance We Do

The whole world's broke and it ain't worth fixing
It's time to start all over, make a new beginning
There's too much pain, too much suffering
Let's resolve to start all over make a new beginning

Draco slid his left arm around Hermione's waist, Hermione placing her palm on his left shoulder. They held each other's right hands and held it up.

Now don't get me wrong I love life and living
But when you wake up and look around at everything that's going down
All wrong
You see we need to change it now, this world with too few happy endings
We can resolve to start all over make a new beginning

Draco and Hermione gracefullyglided across the ballroom, dancing as though there is no tomorrow.

Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over

As they waltzed, Hermione and Draco leaned on to one another, taking in each other's hair's scents. Draco's hair smelled of some expensive hair perfume whereas Hermione's hair smelled of vanilla.

The world is broken into fragments and pieces
That once were joined together in a unified whole
But now too many stand alone There's too much separation
We can resolve to come together in the new beginning

The two were oblivious to everyone around. They were caught up in the moment, basking in each other's arms. Both didn't want the moment to stop.

Hermione looked around. People were joining them on the dance floor. Surprisingly, they were of different sides. Harry was dancing with Daphne Greengrass, Ron with Pansy Parkinson, Ginny with Blaise Zabini, Luna with Theodore Nott, Fred with Astoria Greengrass and George with Millicent Bulstrode. It was inter-house unity all right.

We can break the cycle - We can break the chain
We can start all over - In the new beginning
We can learn, we can teach
We can share the myths the dream the prayer
The notion that we can do better
Change our lives and paths
Create a new world

Draco noticed everyone dancing. Smiling to himself he reflected that how a small move by him had brought such a huge change. He felt pleased with himself.

And Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over

The audience (those who were witnessing this) was cheering, many more joining the dancers with their respective partners. Suddenly the party which seemed dull was springing to life, courtesy to Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger.

The whole world's broke and it ain't worth fixing
It's time to start all over, make a new beginning
There's too much fighting, too little understanding
It's time to stop and start all over
Make a new beginning

Now immersed in each other, Draco and Hermione enjoyed the time when no one was apart. Everyone was either enjoying, or dancing or eating.

Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over

The two realized that even though they couldn't be the best of friends, they still had a spark. A spark that they could have with no one else.

We need to make new symbols
Make new signs
Make a new language
With these we'll define the world

As the song was ending, Hermione and Draco smiled at each other. An unspoken understanding between them, they shared jokes, laughed and had their time.

And start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over...

As they parted, both looked at each other. Maybe they won't meet again but they will definitely never forget this dance. Little did they know how wrong they were…..

Astoria Greengrass furiously looked at Draco who was kissing Hermione's hand after the dance. She couldn't believe that he could stoop so low as to dance with a mudblood. "Anyways, he is mine. He will come to his senses and try to win me back." Thought Astoria as she stalked off to find Theo.

Meanwhile, Narcissa and Lucius had witnessed their son's actions and the impact it had on everyone. The smiled at each other knowingly, planning a move which would not just change many lives, but would shock the entire Wizarding World…
