The Yule Ball had finally arrived, and the students started to fill the hall with buzzes of chatter and excitement. Harry sat on a blue satin chair, anxiously waiting for Hermione to arrive. He looked over to see his best friend Ron, snogging the former Gryffindor, Lavender Brown. Grimacing, he turned around, wanting to see the bushy-haired girl more than ever. Suddenly, the hall went quiet and whispers could be heard, as a slender figure emerged from the marble staircase. Hermione. Her flowy periwinkle blue dress came down to her heels, as her chestnut brown hair cascaded down onto her shoulder, the curls bouncing lightly with every step she took. She looked radiant, and nobody could deny it. Harry stared at her in awe as she walked towards him, her chocolate brown eyes staring into his.

" You look incredible, " Harry said, looking at her once more. He saw her pale face turn a brilliant scarlet as she looked away shyly.

" Thank you," she responded in a small voice, clearly nervous that everyone was staring at her. The two smiled as each other, as Ron looked at them enviously. " Shall we dance? " the green-eyed boy asked as he bowed down and took her hand. A giggle escaped from Hermione's lips, as she nodded and took his hand. For a moment, it seemed as though nothing could ruin this perfect night.

They walked towards the dance floor, as the music started playing. Harry put one hand on her waist and took her hand, while she placed hers on his shoulder, as they swayed to the music. Their bodies were incredibly in sync, and in between steps, Harry lifted her up or spun her around. They laughed as Hermione occasionally stepped on his feet, but that didn't matter. This was a moment of pure bliss, and it felt as if they were the only people in the world. The music slowly faded out, as he took her hand and kissed it. A huge smile spread onto the bushy-haired girl's face, as she giggled and looked into his emerald green eyes. They spent the rest of the night dancing and laughing, having the most fun that they had in a long time. 

After an incredible night, it was starting to get late, as the students started to descend into their dormitories. " Shall we head back? " Harry asked, not taking his eyes off hers. " Sure," she responded, with a small hint of disappointment in her voice. She really didn't want this night to end. He took her hand as they walked back towards the Gryffindor common room, the cold brisk air blowing softly into their faces. They walked first to the girls' dormitories, where the two said goodbye. " I had a great time tonight, " Hermione said, still smiling. " So did I ", responded Harry. " Say, would you like to go to  Hogsmeade with me next week? " Harry asked, softly. The bushy-haired girl felt her face heat up as he asked her that very question. " I would love to, " she replied, smiling twice as big now. Harry grinned, as he nodded and looked at her. " Brilliant. " he finally said, after a short moment passed. " Well, thank you for such an amazing night, I'll see you tomorrow? " Harry nodded once again, and smiled. " Goodnight, Mione. " She felt her face flush again as he called her that. " Night, Harry, " was the last thing she said, before she leaned in and kissed him.
