You stand tall against the wall, beside you your best friend, (B/F/N), points to any girl or boy she sees."He's handsome," (he/she) says.
"'He's' Harry Potter. Good luck asking him for a dance," you laugh. (He/She) kicks you in the shin, and though it hurts you laugh.
You make eye contact with a teacher, and not wanting them to come over and start chatting, you grab (B/F/N) and head for the dance floor.
"Whoa now, I like you too but not romantically," (he/she) says as you place your hands on (his/her) hips.
"Shut up idiot. Would you rather dance with me or be in an awkward conversation with a professor?" You ask, standing still while the students around you dance.
(He/She) takes hold of your hands and you begin to dance, "I don't like talking to professors." (He/She) says.
You two make a routine, of spin, four steps, then a half spin, then four steps again - since both of you have no idea how to dance correctly.
While you are twirled by (B/F/N), you catch sight of bright red hair. (B/F/N) catches you and together you keep dancing. When the half-spin arrives, you turn and pause for a second. Ginny Weasley stands, staring directly at you.
She blushes heavily, and turns back to her date - Neville Longbottom.
You hear (B/F/N) giggle in your ear. "Told you she likes you."
You twirl back, and you two begin dancing again. Purposely, you step on (his/her) toe. (He/She) gasps, glaring at you. "What was that for?" They whisper angrily.
You grin. "Because you just embarrassed Ginny."
"So you like her back!" (He/She) says, a little to loudly.
The students around you stare at you, but you give them a snarl and they go back to their business. You step harshly on (B/F/N) toe again.
"Ow! That was the same toe!"
"I never said I like her back."
(He/She) spins you around, and you get a glance of Ginny dancing with Neville. You bite your lip, not conformable with her so close to the boy.
You step four times, and (B/F/N) half-spins you again. You then see Ginny dancing with Neville still, but her eyes are on you. You smile at her, and (B/F/N) turns you around again.
"You should ask her to dance," (he/she) says.
"No way!" You say, accidentally stepping on (his/her) toe again.
"Hey!"
"Sorry!"
You go silent for a few seconds, doing your dance, till (B/F/N) let's go of your hands. You give a confused look, your hands still up. (He/She) gives a petty smile.
"Please go dance with her. She won't stop staring," (he/she) groans.
You growl, turn around to find, yet again, that Ginny is staring at you. She turns away, looking at Neville - who has an annoyed look on his face.
(B/F/N) gives you a slight push. You sigh, and slowly make your way through the crowd and tap Ginny's should.
Embarrassment and worry grows in you as Neville grins and let's go of her hands, turns, and walks away. Ginny turns around, and she smiles brightly when she sees you standing there.
"H-Hi, (F/N)."
"Hello, Ginny. Care to dance?" You ask, mouth going dry.
Her eyes grow huge, and she gasps. After a few seconds, she nods, and takes hold of your hands.
"Sorry to inform you, but I can't dance - correctly or gracefully," you shyly say.
"I could tell," she laughs, slowly swaying her hips. "Just follow along."
Together, you two slowly dance in a small circle. Your feet are touching hers, and when she moves her feet you do too. She stretches her arms out, giving off a more graceful pose.
You find yourself trying to stay away from her body, as your stomach gets butterflies when you get close. You watch your arms shake, not only because they've been holding themselves up for a while, but because of her touch.
The songs stay slow, and for many dances you stay together. You slowly learn more how to dance, till she let's go of your hands.
"Thirsty?"
You nod, and you walk beside her as you head towards the drink table. You keep a reasonable distance all they way to the two chairs you sit at while drinking your water.
"You aren't a bad dancer once you get the hang of it," she says, taking a sip.
You slightly blush, "Thank you."
Silence settles around you, and you find yourself humming to the music. Ginny stares at her hands, which mess with her dress.
After a while, she whispers, "Don't you want to go back to your (boyfriend/girlfriend)?"
"Excuse me?" You say, "(Boyfriend/Girlfriend)?"
"Yeah," Ginny says. "The (boy/girl) you were dancing with."
You shake you head, grinning. "No. (B/F/N) is my friend. Not my (boyfriend/girlfriend)."
Ginny's slight frowns disappears, and her eyes shine. "O-Oh! G-good!"
You nod, eyes falling over of the kids dancing. You see (B/F/N) talking to Neville, smiling, and laughing. You watch as they both agree to dance, and you giggle when Neville steps on (his/her) toe.
"Will you go out with me?" Ginny says behide you, so fast you almost don't understand.
You turn back, and give her a big smile. "Of course."
A/N Ahhh, my toe hurts. I can't even walk on it. I also got up early this morning for practice, got to the feilds and guess what? Practice is canceled. Ugggh. The universe hates me today. I hope you're having a better day then I am. Thanks for reading!
