a/n well the song that was in the last chapter was called I'm not ready to make nice by the Dixie Chicks. Sorry I forgot to mention it in the last chapter. Well thanks for all the reviews. I've been having a bit of a writers block but I knew I had to post so here it is, and to maybe get me out of the writers block maybe, just maybe everyone that reads this could review. I accept anonymous reviews, well I did the last time I checked so even if you don't have an account you can send a review. I would really appreciate it.

Everyone was waiting in the Entrance Hall. Malfoy and Hermione had decided to not have a masked ball, just a formal ball. They walked down the marble staircase and everyone in the Entrance Hall turned and looked at them. Hermione scanned the group and saw Harry, Ginny, Ron and Lavender standing over in the corner. Ginny was smiling at her, but Harry and Ron were scowling at her. Once they got to the bottom of the staircase they walked over to Harry and the others and Hermione let go of Malfoy's arm and walked over and stood beside Ginny.

"So what's this?" spat Ron

"Oh Weasle I'd watch your mouth if I were you," said Malfoy

"And what if I don't?" spat Ron. His hand went into his pocket and everyone could see that he was clutching his wand, ready for Malfoy to make the first move.

Harry's hand also went into his pocket.

"Well Granger over here won't be happy with you," said Malfoy

"And what will she do about it, stop talking to me, start calling me Ronald?"

"Just a bit of advice, her fist hurts," he finished. He walked over to Hermione and whispered something in her ear and she smiled and nodded and then he walked over to the Slytherins.

The rest of the school started talking again, all except Ron, and Harry that is. Ginny leaned over and whispered into Hermione's ear, "So are you dating?"

"What?" cried Hermione in complete shock

"Are you dating?" Ginny repeated

"Excuse me."

"Come on Hermione, just answer the question."

"No, god no."

With that Ron turned to Lavender and because the doors had finally opened the walked into the Great Hall. Harry walked over to the two girls and took Ginny's arm, and without saying anything led her into the hall. Harry didn't look back but just as they were walking through the doors Ginny looked back and gave Hermione a week smile.

Hermione was just about to walk into the hall when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Malfoy standing there, "Ready?' he said

Hermione's mouth dropped open and she said, "I thought we were just coming down here together to make an entrance as Head Boy and Girl."

"Well you thought wrong. See I don't have a date and I thought why walk in alone when you would also be alone, so ready?" he stuck out his arm and Hermione slowly took it and they walked into the Great Hall.

"So want to dance?" he asked her

"Sure," she replied

The band started up with the first song. It was a slow song.

I was standing at the end of my rainbow
With nowhere to go and no pot of gold in sight
All my wishes were just way too much to hope for
But when I saw you I knew I'd seen the light

And not a moment too soon
Without a minute to spare
You touched my heart
When I didn't have a prayer
In my darkest hour
With my world filled with gloom
Your sweet love saved me
Not a moment too soon

I used to think that love would never find me
And the one who cares was lost somewhere in time
But when you found me I knew I'd found forever
You rescued me just before I crossed the line

And not a moment too soon
Without a minute to spare
You touched my heart
When I didn't have a prayer
In my darkest hour
With my world filled with gloom
Your sweet love saved me
Not a moment too soon
Your sweet love saved me
Not a moment too soon
Not a moment too soon

After the song ended the two separated and walked over to their separate groups. Hermione walked over and sat down with Ginny.

Ron walked up and said, "So how's it dancing, slow dancing at that with your hand practically on his butt, and your head on his shoulder with the person that was suppose to kill Dumbledore and is our enemy and if that doesn't mean anything to you do you really think he's stopped being a Death Eater?"

"I just dance with him, we aren't getting married or even dating for that matter Ronald," cried Hermione

Everyone around them looked over at them and then went back to what they were doing.

"Yeah well whatever it is you were doing, stop okay or you aren't part of our group anymore," said Ron and he turned and walked away

Hermione flopped down on the chair just as the next song started up.

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime you might find
You get what you need

I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
Oh yes
You get what you need--yeah, oh baby

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

After the song ended Hermione said to Ginny, "That's exactly how I feel. I've finally made amends with Malfoy and now Harry and Ron hate me."

"Who says I hate you," said a voice

Hermione spun around and seeing who the person was she said, "You don't?"

"No," he replied

He sat down beside Ginny.

"What is with him?" Hermione cried

Harry and Ginny exchanged glances saying 'should we tell her?' Finally they decided to and it was Ginny who spoke first, "Well Ron still has feeling's for you," she said

"What," screamed Hermione, "But he agreed with me that it was time to move on."

"Well then he lied," said Harry, "Come on let's dance," he stood up and offered Hermione his hand. She took it and they walked out onto the dance floor.

Well we're coming to your city
Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song
We'll all be flying higher than a jet airliner
And if you want a little bang in your ying yang come along

Well we blew threw Cincinnati
And we all got really happy
Grabbed a bowl of that skyline chili along the way
Then we rolled on into Canton
Scared the hell out of Marilyn Manson
And the party started happening hey hey hey
And in the middle of a Charleston night
We ran into Jessica White
And a little moonshine got us bright plum smacked insane

And we're coming to your city
Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song
We'll all be flying higher than a jet airliner
And if you want a little bang in your ying yang come along

Well we broke down in Greeneville
In the middle of a hayfield
But a BudLight truck pulled up and helped us out
So we deadheaded up to Philly
Partied down like real hillbillies
Brought the music mafia and rocked it out
Oh and Chippewa's where we go
When we're up in Buffalo
Don't you know those Yankees drink enough to drown

And we're coming to your city
Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song
We'll all be flying higher than a jet airliner
And if you want a little bang in your ying yang come along, come along

Listen up
Now L.A.'s got the freaks and Pink's and fifteen-dollar drinks
And San Antonio's a wild wild rodeo
And in Phoenix Arizona
We drink way too much Corona
And we woke up by the river
In Jeff City, MO
And we're coming to your city
Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song
We'll all be flying higher than a jet airliner
And if you want a little bang in your ying yang come along

Yeah Yeah

we're coming to your city
Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song
We'll all be flying higher than a jet airliner
And if you want a little bang in your ying yang
If you want a little zing in your zang zang
If you want a little ching in your chang chang come along
come along come along come along
Yeah we're coming to your city.

After the song ended they went and sat back down. Harry took Ginny's hand and they walked back out onto the dance floor. McGonagoll came running over and Hermione stood up, "Professor what's wrong?" she cried

"Just follow me," she cried

She followed the Headmistress over to the group of Slytherins and grabbed Malfoy, then they ran out of the Great Hall. By this time a group of teachers were following them. All except the ones that had to stay and chaperone the dance.

McGonagoll led them up to the Astronomy Tower and she pointed her finger in the direction of Hogsmeade.

"What is that?" asked Malfoy

"Oh no," said Hermione

"What is it?" he said a bit louder…
