As
Hermione bent down to put on her shoes Draco bent down to her. "Have
you had your Hogwarts letter yet?"
"Yeah. I want to talk
to you about the new class. Can we talk at the end of the
lesson?"
"Yeah sure" Draco said.
At that point
Madam Fa-Toren came over.
"Hello you 2. Would you be able to
give my beginner class a demonstration of the Tango you are doing so
they can see what they may be able to do in the future?"
It
wasn't a question, more a command but Mione nodded and her and Draco
got up and walked to the middle of the room. The beginner class went
and sat down and Draco and Mione took up their positions in the
centre of the dance floor.
The music started, slowly at first but getting faster. They moved perfectly together. Seamlessly moving from one step to another. As the music got faster so did they until their feet were a blur of movement. The routine was complicated with a lot of lifts and spins. The music reached its climax and then started to slow. Mione span out and then span back in as the music ended and they finished with their lips almost touching staring into each others eyes with passion breathing hard. They separated and then Mione curtsied as Draco bowed.
The beginner class broke out in a loud round of applause and then left talking excitedly about what they had just seen and how they wanted to be able to dance like that in the future.
When they had all left there were 2 people left sitting. It was Luna Lovegood and Dean Thomas. They were in Mione and Draco's class and were the only others who knew Mione and Draco could dance.
Mione went to get a drink and sat down next to
Luna.
"I've heard about the new class at Hogwarts" said
Luna, "what are you going to do?"
"I have no idea.
We're going to talk about it afterwards."
"Maybe you
should just let everyone know but don't tell them outright."
"How
are they supposed to find out then?"
"Simple really.
Madam will definitely choose you for a demo as you 2 are absolutely
amazing and when she does you just show your true colours."
"I
don't know. Maybe, we will talk about it later."
"Ok,
we're starting now anyway."
They got up and walked over
to the boys who were standing in the middle of the room waiting to
start.
Madam switched on the music and they started a Rumba. Madam
sat down and watched them as she hardly ever had to
interrupt.
Finally, 2 hours later they sat down and changed their
shoes back to outdoor wear.
They all decided to go to Mione's house as it was the closest to talk, mainly about Hogwarts new class so they walked slowly along the street each engaged in their own private thoughts.
They reached her house and she opened the
door. The other 3 went straight up to her room as she went to the
kitchen to get drinks and snacks. When they were all settled
comfortably in her room the conversation started.
"So, what
are we going to do?" asked Draco.
"Well, Luna suggested
that we let everyone find out naturally when Madam picks us for a
demo as she undoubtedly will." said Mione.
"Yeah, you
guys aren't going to be able to keep this a secret any longer. Madam
will be expecting a lot from her 2 best students and she won't let
you get away with it." said Dean. "I agree with
Luna."
"Uhh!" screamed Mione in frustration, "I
had wanted this to stay a secret. I know that they would find out at
some point but not now."
"Don't worry," said Draco
pulling her into a hug. "It will turn out ok." she buried
her head in his chest, "I don't want them to find out. They will
think I'm a traitor and turn their backs on me and you will have
the same problem."
She started sobbing."Shhhhh" he
whispered rubbing her back. "It will be ok. We'll manage don't
worry. We will always have Luna and Dean. We will be fine."
"Yeah,
sorry." She sat up and wiped her eyes. "Thanks." She
looked into his eyes. His eyes were wonderful. She loved the way you
seemed to drown in the silvery grey of them.
He blinked breaking
the eye contact.
"We should go. School tomorrow and I
haven't finished packing yet." Said Dean. He glanced over at
Luna.
"Yeah same here," she said.
They got up. "Bye,
see you tomorrow." said Luna. She gave a small wave which Mione
returned and then walked out the door with Dean.
"I should
probably finish packing too." said Mione lying back on her bed.
"But I really can't be bothered."
"Hermione
Granger! Can't be bothered to pack for school! Shock horror! Is the
world ending?" said Draco with mock surprise.
"Oh shut
up" said Mione with a grin and she slapped him on the arm. He
grabbed one of the pillows from the bed and hit her around the head
with it. Hermione then grabbed one and they had a full blown pillow
fight. 20 minutes later they collapsed on the floor exhausted and
laughing.
