"Okay now line up. Girls on that side, boys on that side" Mcgonagall instructs

I lined up right across Hermione. I could see the nervous look on her face as Mcgonagall stood in the center.

"Now I'm going to show you the proper dance technique, Mr. Weasley come here" She tells Ron who hesitates but then walks out to meet her

"Now place one of your hands on my waist and give me the other hand"

"Do I have to?" Ron complains looking around

"Do as i say Mr.Weasley"

I started to understand how to waltz and it looks pretty easy. She began dancing with Ron around the room, and it was actually pretty funny. You could see how embarrassed he really was. She told us where to place our hands and showed us how to move our feet.

"Now pick a partner and try it yourselves"

Hermione instantly ran to me and i followed exactly what professor Mcgonagall did. I placed one of my hands on Hermione's waist and grabbed her other hand. She then placed her hand on my shoulder and we began dancing around the room. At first we stepped on each other's toes, but we eventually got the hang of it.

"We can do this Harry. Now just look at me the whole time and your feet will do the rest" She says

"You're the one who said you were an awful dancer"

"Maybe I'm not as awful as i thought. Besides, I'm starting to remember those lessons i took as a child"

I looked around and I could just feel everyone looking at us, i tried not to focus on them and focus on her. I pulled her closer and we spun around the ballroom following the music exactly. I made sure not to step on her toes as we're dancing.

I looked in her eyes and I felt as though we were the only ones in the room. I twirled her and brought her back to me. Our feet moved perfectly to the music as the whole room watched, none focusing on their dancing. I looked at Hermione to see her staring back at me. The music seemed to move away from us, soon i heard the music begin to fade. I slowly dipped her and pulled her back up me. She looked at me with surprise but also admiration. We both bowed to each other, as instructed of course, which then ended the dance. We stood there staring at each other for awhile before I heard the sound of applause. I looked around to see everyone standing on the sides of the room with Hermione and I in the middle.

"You two did a splendid job. It looked fabulous. Now I want all of you to do as Mr. Potter and Ms. Granger did" She scolds the rest of the students

"Harry you are a great dancer" The professor says to me

"That's because i have a great partner" I compliment her, i saw her starting to blush.

"Mr. Potter I assume you are taking Ms.Granger to the ball? If not, i would suggest you do so" The professor asked

"Um. Just as friends of course. We haven't actually told anyone yet" I explained

"I won't say a word. I can't wait for everyone to see how wonderful the waltz really is. You two were splendid" Mcgonagall says happily

"Can we go now? I have to study for the next task" I asked her

"Of course. You two don't need the practice. Mr.Weasley move your hands up!" She yells before walking away

"Well I guess we can leave then?" I told her

"Please and I know just the place to go" Hermione walked out of the hall and i follow her

I already knew where she is going. She said she wants to be alone and the best place to do that is the room of requirement. We walked up to the fourth floor and the door to the ROR opened.

"So what do you want to do today?" I asked her

"Harry i got to choose last time. Why don't you?"

"I was hoping you'd say that. Since we can't have food appear in here, i have a surprise for you" I told her

I closed my eyes and opened them to see a romantic dinner. I thought it was the perfect time for our first date. I had Dobby make some food and i brought it up here awhile ago.

"Harry. This is so sweet" Hermione gushes as she sees it

"I just thought since we are alone. Rather than go to dinner, we could have dinner here alone. We haven't had our first date yet" I said grabbing her hand and pulling her to the table

Hermione's pov

This is technically our first date and it is so spontaneous and romantic. I looked around to see stars shining above us, there was light music playing in the background and the candles lit up the room making it brighter. It's the most perfect setting.

"Hermione let's eat. I got your favorite" Harry says as we begin eating this delicious meal of mac n cheese.

"How did you know this was my favorite?" I asked surprised

"Because i know you Hermione. Quick question, but what were you going to tell me before Ginny walked in?" He asks putting his fork down

"It's nothing Harry. It wasn't important." I said avoiding the gaze he was giving me

"I won't pester you. You can tell me whenever you are ready" Harry said

We spent another hour filled with flirtatious compliments and talking until it was nearly curfew. This of course meant we had to leave.

"I don't want to leave Harry. I wish we could stay here forever" I told him, I didn't want to leave

"So do I. This had been the perfect first date" I grabbed her hand and led her away from the table

After dinner we left the room of requirement and headed back to the common room.

"So did you hear? There is a trip to hogsmeade tomorrow, so make sure you get your dress robes" I reminded him

"Don't worry, i have it all worked out. I just feel bad for Ron. He still hasn't got a date"

"You are such a good friend. Now head off to bed, i'm sure the guys are all wondering why you weren't at dinner" I said giving him a quick kiss on the cheek before heading upstairs

"Hermione. You and Harry looked so cute together while you were dancing. I wish i could dance as well as you can. I don't even have a date" Lavender complains as she sees me walk through the door.

"Who do you want to go with?" I ask her

"I don't know. Well anyway goodnight Hermione" Lavender says turning off her light

I changed into pajamas and laid down. I'm still thinking about Harry. The way we danced made me feel like we were alone on the planet, there was no one around just him and i moving to the music. How can i sleep with that on my mind? I eventually fell asleep hoping to dream about this perfect day.
