She sat at a table alone, staring into her fourth glass of wine. This evening hadn't gone to plan. Not at all. She had barely spoken to Harry let alone managed to dance with him. Yet every other male in the room seemed determined to dance with her.
Everyone except Harry...and Ron.
Ron had been avoiding her all night. She knew why, and a few years ago she would have found that endearing. Now it just irritated her that he didn't have the guts to approach her...even though she didn't want him to.
"'Mione!"
She jumped as she heard Harry call her through the crowd. He squeezed through the people standing around the table where she'd plonked herself.
"'Mione, come on. You must be the only girl I haven't danced with. Wha'd'ya say? Save me from the admiring hoards!"
inglingly, she glanced past him,
"Where?" she grinned.
Harry looked around, feigning surprise.
"..she was here a moment ago! Come on, best pal..."
He held out his hand which she took, and they walked over to the dance floor.
It was quite a fast number - one that demanded dancing apart, but Harry held her as they twisted and turned without their hands breaking contact.
The song finished and changed to a slow ballad. Hermione looked up at him and before he could lead her off the floaid,aid,
"How about a smooch with your best pal?"
It was less than a moment before he grinned and moved closer, but Hermione felt her heart beat three times.
Again she felt his hand on her bare back as his body made contact with hers, and it sent shivers down her spine. He took hold of her right hand and bent his head so that it rested against hers.
They shuffled slowly round in a circle. Hermione's heart was racing as she felt the warmth of his body through her dress and her knees weakened as she allowed her mind to wander to the delicious moment when perhaps there would be no cloth separating their bodies.
"'Moine?" Harry whispered into her ear as they swayed together.
"Yes?" she replied, breathlessly, her mind still on fleshy things.
"You know I've had too much to drink."
"I wondered what that pungent bouquet was," she smiled.
"You're the sensible one. Will you sort me out if I get out of hand?"
She paused before she replied,
"Don't worry. I'll make sure you get to bed at some point..."
"Herrrrrrrrmione!"
A figure stumbled into them, knocking them apart.
"Ron! What the fuck..?" Harry was frowning at him. Hermione was desperately wondering how she could grab Harry again.
"Herm..(belch)..ione. You haven't danced with me yet. Come on..." Ron grabbed her and began slow dancing, his bottom sticking out as he bent his head to Hermione's level.
She looked at Harry - he was laughing.
"Can you only ask me when you've had a few drinks, Ron?" She snapped.
"Yep. You're far to lovely and scary otherwise."
Ron looked in ecstasy.
Hermione watched Harry walk away, and could have cried.

She managed to escape Ron's clutches, made her way back to the table and flopped down next to Ginny.
"Ginny! You're smoking!" Hermione watched her friend take a long drag of a cigarette.
"Apparently," said Ginny, closing in conspiratorially. "they're not real cigarettes."
Hermione looked at her.
"No?"
Ginny was definitely tipsy.
"No. Luna says they're made from the hair of the Frippaninnie Farting Flower...no wait...that doesn't sound right," she frowned. "Anyway, so it doesn't count!" Ginny hit Hermione playfully on the arm as she laughed in triumph. "Hey, Hermione. You don't look happy. Wassup?"
"Oh, nothing...just...you know."
Ginny studied her for a moment.
"Ohhh, I know what the trouble is, and I might just have the answer..." She dived to a handbag.
"Ginny, that's not your bag..."
"I know," Ginny giggled. "It's Fleur's. When we were in the toilets, I saw...this in her handbag..."
Ginny pulled out a small deep-pink bottle.
"Ginny!" hissed Hermione, looking around frantically.
"No, s'all right, she's dancing with Bill. They look pretty occupied. Look, it's muggle perfume. Have you ever heard of pheromones?"
"The mating scent? Of course but...oh, you mean there's some in this perfume? Why on earth does Fleur think she needs pheromones?"
"Beats me! Go on, put some on."
"Oh, no, I couldn't."
Ginny looked at Hermione straight in the eyes.
"Do you want him, or not?"
