Ron sighed walking around, dreading actually entering the dance. Just down the next hall, he saw Hermione standing outside the great hall.
‘She looks beautiful,’ Ron thought silently to himself, smiling. He stood to watch her for a moment. Hermione was talking to someone Ron couldn’t see, twirling the curl of her hair that wasn’t tied up in the bun with the rest of her hair. She laughed at something someone said, her laugh seeming to echo through the entrance hall, warming his soul. He turned the corner only to see her on the arm of Victor Krum, her smile lighting her face as she didn’t take her eyes off of him.
Wandering the streets, in a world underneath it all
But nothing seems to be, nothing tastes as sweet
As what I can't have
Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair
round your finger
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you.
Suddenly something stirred in Ron, and he decided today he would tell her exactly how he felt. He had gone through the speech in his head thousands of times since he met her, never actually allowing the words to travel into existence for anyone else to hear.
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
and cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
Forgive me if I st-stutter
From all of the clutter in my head
‘Cause I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem familiar, I've crossed you in hallways
a thousand times, no more camouflage
I want to be exposed, and not be afraid to fall.
“Hey, ‘M-Mione,” He begins, trying not to show his nervousness, hating himself for not remembering what came next in his well-rehearsed speech.
“Hello Ronald,” She says, her eyes still showing remains of laughter as her smile fades. He forgot she was angry with him. All he can do is stare into the depths of her chocolate eyes and be angry at himself for forgetting his lines. This wasn’t going how he planned.
“You look brilliant,” is all he is able to say before Krum whispers in her ear. She nods and suddenly he is alone, watching her back as she walks to the dance floor, glancing back only for a moment to send him a friendly smile.
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
Oh muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will<
For you I will
The night passes as Ron stands off to the side, his eyes never leaving Hermione. She’s always smiling, always looking at Krum and not Ron. The songs begin to slow as the night is beginning to end. Krum begins to leave with Hermione on his arm. Ron rushes after them, ‘Now or never,’ Ron realizes his chances are dwindling away.
“HERMIONE!” He calls out, catching up to her as she turns to look at him in surprise. He doesn’t notice the numerous other people who also turn to look.
If I could dim the lights in the mall
And create a mood, I would
Shout out your name so it echoes in every room, I would
That's what I'd do,
That's what I'd do
That’s what I’d do
To get through to you
“Hermione,” he mumbles once he catches up.
“Yes Ron?” she asks looking at him expectantly.
“Dance with me?” he asks gaining his composure. Throughout the room numerous ‘Finally!’ s and ‘About Time!’ s can be heard throughout the crowd.
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
Hermione’s face lights up into the biggest smile he’s seen all night and she’s never looked so beautiful.
“Of course, I didn’t think you were going to ask.” She says, turning to Krum as he nods for encouragement. Her hand finds his as they walk to the dance floor. She’s never seen him look so happy. And everyone else has never seen him walk so tall.
