Books & The Full Moon (Hermione Granger X Fem Reader) Fourth Year

Chapter 21: Dancing

Welcome to chapter 21!

Start of recap...

Remus looks at the man he calls his with a look of pure admiration. "Is this how I am? "He questions in a low voice; Sirius gives the man a wry smile and holds his hand tightly.

"Yes, pretty much" Remus gives a humourless laugh, the two sit and wait until Y/Ns feels better again and wants to move.

It was not until hours later the three would go back to normal, Sirius and Y/N messing around while Remus watched from afar laughing at the two.

End of recap...

Third person pov...

The next morning has Sirius waking his daughter up early, eager to get started on teaching her to dance before the Yule ball.

At 7am on the dot the two Blacks are downstairs in the living room, Sirius used his magic to shove everything to the sides to create room for the duo to dance.

YN watches in awe as the furniture flies to the sides leaving a large area for the two to dance in, Sirius grins then walks into the middle flicking his wand, music from a record player filled their silence.

The man then holds out his hand to his daughter, sighing in defeat the girl takes his hand. "fine" his wines letting herself be pulled. "Now then let's see how much I remember from my hag of a mother teaching to dance" says the man.

"Stand facing your partner, shoulder distance away from them, and hold their hand or shoulder" mutters the man, he puts his hand above the girl's waist and her hand on his shoulder.

"Now we move in a box" he tells the girl, they begin dancing in a box, Y/Ns feet almost standing on her Papas as they dance, after many many sorry and stepping on feet she begins it dance.

Suddenly a flash is heard, the two leap apart glaring at where the sound came from, it was Remus. He had woken up to the soft sound of the waltz and the yelling of his husband and daughter.

Smiling he pulls Y/N in and kisses her head. "you've almost got it Cub" he tells the dejected girl, Y/N sighs "I'm never going to be able to dance with Mione now" she says looking down.

Once Remus joined in the teaching, she had started getting slightly better, they had been trying to teach her the dance for most of the day now, but Y/N just could not get the hang of it. She was always tripping over her own feet and getting frustrated.

"Come on Cub, it's all about grace and finesse" Remus said, holding out his hand for her to take. "I know, Dad, but I just can't seem to get it right,' Y/N sighed, plopping down onto the couch in defeat.

Sirius chuckled, "It is a good thing we have a few weeks left before the ball. We will keep practicing until you get it." Y/N could not help but smile at her Papas determination. Sirius was always the life of the party, and she knew he was looking forward to the yule ball just as much as she was.

Remus, on the other hand, was the calming presence in their household. He was patient and kind, always there to help whenever Y/N needed it, Together, they made a wonderful team.

After a few more failed attempts, Y/N decided to take a break and make some hot cocoa for everyone. As she was pouring the warm drink into mugs, she could not help but feel a wave of frustration wash over her. She was worried that no matter how much she practiced, she would never be able to waltz with her girlfriend.

But just as she was about to give up, she heard her parents talking in the living room. "I think we need to try a different approach" Remus said, sounding slightly worried.

"I know, but we cannot let her give up. We will figure it out" Sirius replied, his voice filled with determination. Y/N's heart swelled with love for her parents. They were always there for her, no matter what. She was grateful to have them as her guides through life.

Feeling a renewed sense of determination, Y/N marched back into the living room, declaring, "I'm ready to try again"

Remus and Sirius exchanged a look before standing up and leading Y/N to the centre of the room, Y/N closed her eyes and let the melody fill her ears. She paid attention to the rhythm, the beat, and the flow of the music.

Before she knew it, she was swaying and gliding across the room in perfect harmony with her parents, she opened her eyes to see Remus and Sirius smiling at her proudly. And for the first time, she felt like she was waltzing.

As they all danced together, Y/N felt like she was floating on air. She did not need to worry about the steps or making mistakes. All she needed to do was to let the music guide her.

when they finished, Y/N could not stop smiling. She was still a bit clumsy, but she had finally found her rhythm. "Wow! N/N that was amazing!" Sirius exclaimed, pulling her into a hug.

"I couldn't have done it without you two" Y/N replied, feeling grateful for her parents' love and support, she could not wait to get back to Hogwarts and ask Hermione to the Ball.
