"May I have this Dance...?"

May I have this Dance 2

,,Where have you been? We've missed you in the great hall..." Ron greeted her, when she came back into their common room... she was still smirking, from Narcissa's kiss on her cheek.

,,Why are you smirking so silly?!"

,,You are asking too many questions Ron... I was not down in the great hall, and that is everything you need to know."

,,What have I done wrong, Hermione?! You've told me, you like me!"

,,That doesn't mean, that I'm in love with you, or something like that! Actually you are my best friend, nothing less, and definitely nothing more..."

,,But why...?"

,,Because I'm lesbian, you idiot!" said she a bit louder, and it was the first time, she confessed it in front of him, and to herself... without another word she went upstairs into her dormitory, and sat down on her bed...

Teaching... the idea didn't left her mind...

Nearly every seventh year student was crying the next day, and hugging each other... exchanging addresses, and then there was Pansy... standing in the entrance of the great hall, staring into the unknown...

,,You could come back, you know?" Hermione said, stepping next to her.

,,I have accept a job in the ministry. But you should come back, Mione..." she said, looking at her, and Hermione nodded: ,,I'm thinking about it..."

They fell in silence for a few minutes, until Pansy asked smirking: ,,Do you remember? Our very first day? I was walking somewhere behind you, and you were staring at the ceiling, and said something about it... what was it again?"

Hermione laughed, and said: ,,I'm not sure... but I think, I've explained another girl, that the ceiling is not real... that it is just a spell, or something like that..."

Pansy laughed: ,,Yes... great Salazar, I hated you from that moment on... but then... I learned better." She took Hermione's hand, and said: ,,Perhaps we could meet us one day..."

,,Are you sure?! I mean... I'm just a Gryffindor."

They laughed, and hugged each other, before Hermione asked: ,,You know, that I'm not really interested in you?"

,,Oh... you realized that...?"

,,During the last weeks... yes..." said Hermione, and it was true... during her last weeks, she had started a friendship with Pansy, Draco, and a few other Slytherins... they parted, and Pansy was still blushing...

,,I'm sorry Hermione..."

,,No, no... it's alright... I like you, Pansy... but there's someone..."

,,Lucky woman..." Pansy smiled, and they turned, and left their second home...

A few days later Hermione sat at the dining table with her parents... thinking about Narcissa, while her parents where talking about holidays in France.

,,Mione?" Asked her mother, and ripped her out of her thoughts.

,,Sorry Mom, what...?"

Her mother smiled at her, and said: ,,You don't have to come with us, if there is someone..."

,,No... no... I do want to come with you to France..." said Hermione, and thought about, writing Narcissa... and perhaps she would have enough bravery to confess Narcissa in a letter, what she is feeling...

But it was, when they stood at the airport, that Hermione stopped, and her mother turned around, and smiled at her.

,,Mom, sorry... I... I just don't know what's happening..."

,,It's love, Hermione... you are in love with someone, and that's why it is so hard for you right now, to go with us... did you tell her?"

,,No... what?! Where do you know from, that I'm..."

Her mother laughed, and kissed her forehead: ,,A mother knows that. Now go... go to that woman, whoever it is, and tell her..."

,,But..."

,,No buts, Hermione... you won't be able to enjoy the holidays... I know that you are hiding it for almost two years now..."

Hermione sighed, and closed her eyes... her mother was right... her mother pulled her in an embrace, and whispered: ,,You could follow... alright?"

Hermione agreed, and they had to parted...

An half an hour later, she knocked at the door to Black Manor, and Draco opened the door...

,,Hi Draco... erm... I can't really explain it, but..." she hesitated, and he smirked: ,,She's in the library..."

Hermione looked in shock at him, and Draco laughed, and said: ,,I'm not stupid, Hermione... I saw how you were looking at my mother... and I've saw, how my mother was looking at you... and to be honest, I would have come to pick you up, if you wouldn't have had come here the next two days..."

Hermione blushed heavily, and Draco stepped aside.

,,Second floor. Fourth door on the left."

She nodded, and went upstairs... she almost run upstairs... and without knocking, she entered the huge library...

She walked along three book shelfs, and finally found Narcissa sitting in a chair... reading a book...

Hermione cleared her throat, and Narcissa looked up, and her eyes widened in surprise.

She stood up, and stepped closer...

,,What... what are you doing here...?"

,,I was on my way to France with my parents, but I turned back, and came here to ask you something really important..."

,,Really important...?" Narcissa asked, and smiled...

Hermione nodded, and stepped closer... reaching out a hand, she asked: ,,May I have this dance, Narcissa?"

Narcissa smirked wide, took the offered hand, and pulled Hermione closer... she leaned in, and whispered: ,,One condition..."

,,Which one...?"

,,Have dinner with me... in France, if you want..."
