Hermione's POV 4
So, tonight was the night. It was Slughorns party. I got the perfect dress, all of my makeup and hair done. I'm all set to get Ron back. For sure, Cormac is really going to make him jealous. Oh, it's almost 6 o'clock. Showtime!
As I walked into the common room, I could see lots of people all spiffed up for the party. Some girls were wearing elegant dresses, and some boys, just plain dress robes. When I took my first step into the room, everyone was gasping and staring at me. My dress was a nice lavender silk dress, with some waves at the end and a nice V-neck opening. My hair was curled up into a little bump and curls hanging from the bottom. All of the boys were staring at me in delight; actually I heard some whistling and some chatter. But then I heard a loud, "Stop it!" And the voice came closer, and it was Cormac.
"Wow, Hermione. You look gorgeous!" Cormac said in delight. "Thanks Cormac!" I said gleefully. "So, you want to head over to the party?" Then he held out his arm and I said, "Sure!" And I gladly took his arm and we walked toward the party room.
When we arrived, there were many of students, teachers, and some elves carrying trays all around with treats on them. We greeted Professor Slughorn and he said, "Welcome children! Please, go and socialize. There's plenty of food and drinks to go around!" After that, he was taken by one of the professors and went into a deep conversation about gnargles.
"Okay, Granger. Let's party!" And the music began to play, and we started to dance a little bit. I was gazing around the room, and I couldn't see Ron. "Hey!" I said over the music, "Where's Ron?" Cormac looked at me and said, "Oh Weasley? Yeah, he and Lavender broke up yesterday, and he was "un-invited" by Lavender I guess. "And he started to dance once again, "But don't worry about him, you have me!" Then he took my arm and spun me around and I landed in his arms. "Hey." I said to him as I got out of his arms. "I'm going to get a drink, be right back." Then I stormed toward the punch bowl.
I was getting punch then I saw somebody behind the curtains. Then I realized it was Harry. I crept into the curtains without anyone seeing me. "Harry!" I whispered to him. "What are you doing here?" Harry looked up from the ground and said, "Oh, hey Hermione." "What's going on?" Harry then said, "Oh, I'm avoiding Snape because I could tell he was up to something." I had a puzzled face and said, "Oh, okay. How's Ron?" "Oh, he's all alone in the common room. He just feels bummed and sad about him and Lavender." Then I had an idea. "Okay, see you Harry!" I said then ran out of the curtains.
I could see Cormac talk to his friends, so this gave me the perfect time to sneak out. I crept behind students, teachers, and some tables. Then I made it to the door, and left.
I was running down a hallway to get to the common room. Then, I saw someone else run down. The person then stopped, and ran toward me. I couldn't really see, so then I started to run back. "HERMIONE! WAIT, STOP!" the person shouted at me. I then stopped and turned around. It was Ron. "Oh, hi Ron." I said to him while panting. "Look Hermione," Ron said to me holding my shoulders, "I am really sorry for what I did to you. I was acting selfish and I had no idea what I was doing with Lavender. Just that, I'm sorry." He then took his arms off of my shoulders and started to take deep breaths. "You really mean it?" I said with a smile. "Yeah, and to prove it…." Ron said, and then he took my head and started to kiss me. I was so startled by it, but then I kissed him back. He put its arms around my waist and started to kiss me more. Oh my gosh, I said in my head.
A few seconds later, he then pulled away and said, "I love you Hermione Granger." My mouth dropped and I started to smile. Then, tears filled into my eyes and I said, "I love you too Ron." Then we hugged for a while, and then we went back to snogging. Then I heard some footsteps and I gasp. We pulled apart to look, and I couldn't believe my eyes. It was Cormac.
