Harry's POV

I sat in the back of the room as people danced around me.

Everything seemed to slow down as a certain pale boy with blonde hair and mercury eyes twirled around his friends.

I watched in awe as beads of sweat dripped down his forehead as the music seemed to slow down. He seemed so happy and care free.

I pressed my lips into a fine line before glancing down at my blistered hands.

"What's got you all sad?"

I stiffened as my eyes landed on the girl next to me.

"I'm not sad."

"Harry."

I shook my head. "I'm being honest Ginerva." My eyes refocused on Pansy twirling around Draco. My eyes zoomed in on his hands that were on her waist.

"You're not even looking at me."

I turned to face her. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"Fine. If you won't talk to me, I'll get Hermione."

"You do that, then."

She clenched her jaw before shooting me a glare. "I will."

"Okay." I shrugged her off before refocusing on the pair of Slytherins glued by the hips.

I leaned back in my chair and gritted my teeth.

I don't even know if this is cheating.

How can he be all over her when we're kinda together.

I growled before running my fingers through my hair.

"If you don't want him all over Pugsy, go get him." I gasped as the chair shifted. I looked at Hermione with red cheeks.

"Like what?"

"Kiss him."

"That's too bold."

"Dance on him then."

"That's also too bold...there are way too many people out here..."

"Pull him aside."

"I-I dunno."

"Oh come on. Just dance with me until you've got the guts to bust a move on him."

"Mione-"

She put her hands on her hips as a slow song started to play. "..."

"Alright."

I got up and started to dance with her.

You say you got a girl

And how you want me

How you want me when you got a girl?

The feelin' is wreckless

Of knowin' you're selfish

Knowin' I'm desperate

Gettin' all in your love

Fallin' all over love, like

Do it to last, last

Hanging out the back, all up in your lap

We danced slowly as I listened to lyrics, a small smile on my lips as I thought about how much I was relating to it at the moment.
