Chapter 20 :

I rummaged through my closet trying to find something to wear for our second and final dance lesson for before the wedding. I smiled when I put on a yellow backless sundress that tied behind my neck and flowed out to a little below my knees. It had white lace at the bottom, and at the top above my chest. I had straightened my hair, and put in a white ribbon, and wore a pair of yellow high heels.

When I walked into the living area, I felt like everyone's eyes were glued to me. Every one else was dressed just as nice as I was, since this was the final rehearsal before the wedding. It was coming up so fast, it was only just days away now. Draco wore a gray button up collared dress shirt, and a pair of tan dress pants. Ron wore a white button up dress shirt that was half open revealing a white undershirt, and black pants. Lavender wore a short purple mini shirt and purple halter top. Ginny wore a white silky sundress, with white ballerina flats, and Blaise wore an all black dress shirt and dress pant ensemble.

" Wow Hermione you look great" Ginny came over and gave me a hug, but then whispered in my ear ' Draco cant keep his eyes off you' I blushed and then turned to look at him, who did have his eyes on me. I glanced over at Ron who was glaring at Draco, and I took that opportunity to walk over to Draco and sweetly kiss him on the cheek, glancing back at Ron from the corner of my eyes. Draco noticed what I was doing and then wrapped his arm around my waist, and we made our way out of the door and the Madame Jezebels dance studio.

Jezebel stood outside of the studio waiting for us all to arrive. She stood by the door with her hand on her chin, looking us all over as we entered into the white room. We watched as it transformed into a dance floor with white lights over head, and an orchestra in the distance. Madame Jezebel Walked to the center of the room, and held out her hand.

" May I have the bride and groom front and center?" Ginny and Blaise looked at each other nervously. The first time that they had tried to dance it had been a laughing disaster. They slowly walked forward. And stood next to Jezebel. " Now I will show you all the fundamentals of the first dance. It is beautiful and an art." She pointed to the orchestra and they started to play a slow ballad. " Blaise you want to guide Ginny and let the music speak through your souls." I tried to hold back a laugh, she sounded quite loony going on about how spiritual and sensual dancing was, and if you let your partner guide you into a whole new world. " The two of you need to remember what we talked about last time, with guiding your partner." Blaise held his hand out to Ginny and she slowly took it and Blaise lowered his hand to the small of her back. " If you get lost remember to count." Jezebel instructed as she watched them trying to feel the music. Soon enough they were getting it and they were starting to look like naturals. " Beautiful!" She complimented watching them flow. " Now everyone join in with your partners , and really feel the sensuality of the music, and let it speak to you"

I watched as Ron began to dance with Lavender, Bill with Fleur, Mr. with Mrs. Weasley and Mr. With Mrs. Zabini. Draco held his hand to me and I swung into him. He pulled me closer and laid his hand on the small of my back, and I held on of his hands with my other on the small of his back as well. When we started dancing it was like we were one. We flowed to the music and were soon the envy of everyone else on the floor. Everyone had stopped dancing to watch us as we continued to dance. I looked into Draco's eyes and watched him smile back at me.

" Everyone's staring" I whispered to him, trying to fight the inevitable blush that came across my face.

" I hardly noticed" He smirked. " Too busy watching you" I laughed.

" Oh shut up" We continued to dance as the song came to an end. We stood there staring at each other for a moment, before everyone started clapping. I was not used to this kind of attention, so it was an un natural feeling, but it only fed Draco's already big ego.

" Now That" Madame Jezebel put her hand over her heart and pointed at us. " Was a dance!" Draco and I were entranced in what seemed like a spell, but it was just our longing stare.

As we were on our way out of the studio I heard someone clear their throat behind me. I turned around and saw Ron standing there.

" What Ronald?"

" I know you probably don want to hear it, but" He fiddled with his pants as he searched for the words to say to me. I could tell he looked nervous, and I felt anxious to hear what he had to say. " You really are different Hermione. Not in a bad way ,but in a way that I haven't seen in you in a long time. I know I'm not the most reliable person, or the most charming, but I think I miss you, miss what we were" I stood there staring at him with my mouth open for what seemed like an eternity. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Ron was telling me that he missed me and messed up in his own way, but it didn't feel like I had expected it to. I wanted it to be more satisfying. " Hermione? …Hermione please say something." He begged staring at me. I couldn't say anything, I just walked away, and pulled my wand out of the top of my dress and transformed my heels into running shoes and ran all the way back to the cottage.
