She walked slowly down the stairs and i couldn't help but stare at her in amazment. She looked absolutely beautiful. She is wearing a gorgeous pink dress that shows off the curves in her body. I didn't even notice when she walked right up to me.

"Mione you look stunning, Beautiful....hot" I stuttered feeling the heat rising to my cheeks

She started laughing and pulled me in for a hug.

"Thank you and you look so handsome. I have never seen you so cleaned up....you look hot as well"

I held out my arm and she took it. We walked behind the rest of the champions and I could see Viktor looking at me. I knew he was probably upset, but right now i couldn't care less. Hermione is my date, it couldn't be more perfect. Mcgonagall walked out of the great hall and comes towards us.

"You two look lovely together. You two are the perfect couple. Now let's go in champions" Mcgonagall announces as the doors open

We walked in the great hall slowly hearing the sound of applause. When Hermione and i walked in most people looked shocked, and i heard the sounds of whispering conversations.

Hermione's pov

I saw all the girls look at me in jealousy as i proudly walked with Harry. I liked making these girls jealous for once, as they should be. I also saw a few boys staring at me, it seems they are finally noticing me as more than a bookworm. Although this makes me a bit more nervous now.

The champions all got in position to waltz. Harry placed his hand in mine and one on my waist, just like we practiced. As the music started he began moving to the music. We spin around the ballroom following the steps exactly. I couldn't stop looking down at my feet trying not to step on his shoes. I then looked around to see everyone staring at us. We have practiced already, I shouldn't be so nervous.

"Hermione just look at me. Don't worry about them....I'm here with you. I want you to focus on me. Okay?" He whispers pulling me closer to him

I looked into his eyes and i started to feel more relaxed as we glided along the dance room floor, it seems more magical than the first time. I felt like we're the only ones in the room as the music flowed around us. The room was filled with stars and crystals, the snow gently falling around us. It was perfect. Everything is perfect. The music soon began to slow down as we separated bowing to each other, ending the dance.

I heard the rush of applause and i took Harry's hand walking over to one of the tables. Just then Lavender walks up to us dressed in a nice purple dress.

"You two were so good out there. So you said no to Viktor for Harry Potter? Everyone is gonna be talking about you two. I know you two say you aren't dating, but even as friends, you two were perfect" Lavender says before walking away

"We knew people were going to talk if we came together. But at least they aren't making a big deal about it. I can't wait till Ron talks to us"

"I know. Harry tonight has been great and it's only just the beginning. No matter what happens tonight....i want you to know how much i care about you" I tell him, before he could respond, Ron came over to us

"Harry you could have told me you were taking Hermione to the ball. What if someone else wanted to ask her? Did you even consider how others might feel? What about her? You didn't even consider her feelings" Ron says angrily

"Ron. Harry asked me and i said yes. I don't understand the problem?" I asked a bit confused

"Oh forget it" Ron says before walking away

"Hermione do you want a drink?" Harry asks as i focused my attention on him

"Please"

As he walked over to the drinks table, i couldn't help but feel happy. Tonight has been perfect and no one can ruin it, not even Ron. Harry walks back over with my drink and we just spend awhile talking, many students have also come up and complimented our dance or started to congratulate us for doing so well. I saw a few odd looks when i mentioned we came as friends, but they seem to believed us.

"You two did splendid. No one could take their eyes off you" Neville complimented as he walked up with Ginny on his arm, she gave me a sad look before dragging Neville away.

"Thanks Neville" I called out to him, but Ginny already pulled him away

Just as we were alone again, of course the ferret had to come over and bother us.

"So i never thought anyone would take a mudblood to the dance, but I gotta admit, you look fine as hell Granger. I might have to steal you away from Potter myself" Draco says stepping closer to me

"Back off malfoy!" Harry yells placing his arms around my waist as i turned away from Draco.

"Watch yourself potter!" Malfoy hisses before walking back to his slytherin friends

"So do you want to go for a walk? I have a feeling you could really use one?" Harry suggests

"I would love to"

At black lake....

"Harry tonight has been perfect. I don't care what people say about us tomorrow, I'm just glad to be here with you" I tell him

"Do you still want us to be a secret?" He asks as we walked hand and hand by the lake

"I kinda like messing with people, and if they know how can we do this...." I says leaning in to kiss him

I placed my hands on the side of his neck pulling him closer to me. He kisses me gently before stopping.

"Why did you stop?" I whispered to him only millimeters from his face

"I love you Hermione. I always have. I just knew that i had to tell you, and tonight couldn't have been a better time to say it" He quietly says not moving his eyes from mine

"I love you to. I love you so much" I nearly cried pulling him to me once again.

The kiss starts slow but soon increases in passion as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Tonight is perfect. I know we are only 15, but I love you so much" I separated from him and moved my hand under his chin

"Yeah it is"

We both sat down on the grass and looked at the water below us. The moon was shining and I could hear the slight sounds of crickets around us. We stayed there for awhile just holding on to each other. I knew we couldn't be too long, or people would start to notice.

"We should go back to the dance. People will be wondering where their champion went" I stood up and wiped the dirt off my dress

"Being a champion is so boring sometimes" He stood up right after me and grabbed my hand

We went back to the dance knowing how much we loved each other, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
