Continue story (I copy and paste from internet) – Chapter 16 - 'LOVE IS THE CLOSEST THING WE HAVE TO MAGIC'
CHAPTER 16
Ginny was down there as well staring at Hermione as she stepped down the flight of enchanted stairs.
“Stunning Miss Granger.” She cheerfully said, admiring the beauty of the dress. “Yours is more stunning Miss Weasley.” Hermione replied back. A friendly argument was about to begun but Harry and Ron stepped in.
“Ladies…” Harry said, nodding at both of them. Eyeing Ginny carefully, while she blushed crimson.
“Harry…” Both girls began. Ron was still mute, unable to speak at all, with Hermione staring at him.
“Umm, want to dance?” Ron asked a deep shade of red creeping onto his ears. Hermione smiled happily. Finally, she thought. After seven years he asked. She was about to accept his offer, but noticed someone frantically waving their arms at her. Hermione quirked her eyebrow and looked. Malfoy was ten feet away from her, pointing to the clock. She glanced at the large golden clock and sighed. Of course, how can she forget? The first dance was with Malfoy, how great that is. She looked at Ron, which his hopeful eyes and nervous grin. She slowly bend her head and declined the offer, apologizing. He stared at her, crestfallen.
Than turned and walked off, without looking back at her. Hermione watched with interest, as he glumly sat down and Dean gave him a bottle of butterbeer to drink. Poor Ron, she thought as she walked over to Malfoy carefully. Malfoy and Hermione were about to begin to dance when the pace of the song changed into a slower one. Hermione’s eyes widen, at the thought of her and Malfoy that close to each other. But it had to be done. Malfoy gently grasped Hermione’s hand, and put his other hand on her waist. Hermione put her left hand on his left shoulder. Surprised at how strong and firm it was. Nearby Luna and Neville was slow dancing as well. Luna with a unique dress, a mixture of colors blended in throughout the patterns of her dress.
