The Color Black

~Hogsmeade or Dancing Alone~

~Hermione's POV~

I woke up this morning getting ready for our monthly trip to Hogsmeade, I pulled out a button up jean shirt, with a pair of black leggings and my high heeled black books. I then did my make-up, putting on a light layer of black eyeliner and some mascara before applying a smokey blue eyeshadow. I brushed out my hair leaving it down before walking to the common room.

"Well, well, if it isn't the girl who got Ron arrested."

I turned around to see Seamus standing there, I shook my head at him.

"He deserved it, what do you want Seamus?"

He smirked, pulling me into his chest.

"Why don't you and I have a go Granger, think about it we could be good."

I pushed him away walking out and heading to the room of requirement. I closed my eyes before walking in and seeing an empty room. I grabbed my wand whispering a song listening as it played through the room, I took off my boots and started dancing. I felt two arms wrap around my waist, I turned around looking into a pair of gray eyes, as he looked at me.

"What are you doing?"

I stopped the music shaking my head.

"Everyone knows about Ron."

He let out a sigh holding me close, his chin resting on the top of my head.

"It'll be alright luv."

I shook my head.

"We need to get this underway so I can get back to being me."

"The ministry's coming today."

"Let's just hope everything goes well."

He nodded his head.

"Are you going to Hogsmeade with Harry?"

I shook my head.

"I was going to, but no, not really in the mood anymore."

He pulled me into a hug holding me as the next song came through my wand. We stood there swaying to the song I need you by Faith hill and Tim McGraw. I looked up at him and he smiled down at me, before kissing my nose, I smiled, shaking my head. When the song ended he took my hand in his only for me to pull away so I could grab my things before coming back and taking his hand. He led me down to the dungeon, we walked into his chambers and he grabbed two cups for tea. I smiled sitting on the couch as he handed me my cup. We sat there talking and laughing until we heard fighting in the hall. He gave me a confused look before we went to the hall to see Ron being brought out of his cell, I looked at him and he smirked at me.

"Come to watch the show baby."

The minister looked at me before taking Ron out, he looked at Sirius and I.

"I thought the students were supposed to be in Hogsmeade, what are you doing here Ms. Granger."

"I didn't feel like going, after everything that's happened I've kind of shut down."

He nodded his head, before looking at Sirius.

"Professor, do you think it appropriate to be spending time alone with a student?"

Sirius looked at him.

"Minister, I believe that my personal life is my business, and if I'm correct you were a professor who had a relationship with a student that wasn't like mine and Ms. Grangers yet you became minister. My personal life is none of your concern, nor is Ms. Grangers. Now if you'll excuse me I believe Ms. Granger could use some tea after her run in with Mr. Weasely."
