Disclaimer: I don't know how many times I can say it but I must. JKR owns the world and I don't, well except this story plot which is mine. The song is I'll See It Through by someone named Texas. Don't know who that is but the song is from the movie soundtrack Love actually (great romantic comedy, a definite two thumbs up). The song is what Harry and Hermione are dancing to, so like always the song isn't dictating the story, but just complimenting it.

One of these (~) denotes a switch between POV (Hermione or Harry) and the lyrics to the song are in italics, along with some internal thoughts.

Enjoy and leave a review. Please tell me any spelling or grammar you pick up on. It's hard to proof your own stuff. ~ Pheniox_Girl

It was Ron and Luna's wedding and Harry and Hermione were about to take the floor for the bridal party dance following the bride and groom's first dance. This was to open up the dancing to everyone. The song Ron and Luna were dancing to came to an end, and Hermione looked over at Harry to see if he was ready.

He looked like he was the farthest thing from ready.

~

Harry did not want to do this. He hated dancing. The last time he had danced he had ruined the girls dress. Needless to say that relationship ended before it had a chance to take off. He looked at Hermione. God she looks beautiful. He certainly didn't want to ruin her dress, or embarrass her for that matter.

He looked back at the dance floor in time to see the last of the dance as the song ended. He felt Hermione look at him.

"Come on Harry, let’s do this." She took his large hand in her petite one and tugged at his hand.

Deep breaths Harry, deep breaths. "Ok, let’s do this." He lead her to the floor where he took one hand in his while the other one was on her waist; her other hand resting on his shoulder.

When you touch me

I feel as though there's nothing you could do to turn me away

And I know that

In the past you've had bad luck so I should help you stay

The minute she and Harry started dancing it felt.... right. It was like nothing else before. She had danced with Harry many times before it was nothing new.

Then why does it feel like this this time? Why do I feel like I could stay here forever?

~

Harry couldn't believe it. He was dancing the best he ever had. And this felt... natural. As though he should be doing it. It was weird. He looked down at Hermione and she looked back up at him and smiled. She put her head back down, only it made its way to rest on Harry's chest. He pulled her just a little bit closer, his hand making it's way from her waist to the small of her back; resting his chin on her head.

He took in the smell of her hair and softness of her hand in his rough one. All the little things he had never noticed before.

~

You're all I ever wanted

You're all I ever needed

It's you

You're all I've ever wanted

And Lovin you's the right thing to do

And I'll see it through

Hermione closed her eyes, listening to the steady beat of Harry's heart. It was strong and true, giving her a sense of comfort. She noticed that his hand had made its way from her waist to the small of her back. Soon his arm was totally wrapped around her waist, holding her close. She moved her hand that was on his shoulder up and around his neck. She felt Harry take the hand that was holding hers and bring it up to his chest letting it rest there. She let a sigh escape her. She had never felt like she belonged more in her entire life.

~

Harry had closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of Hermione in his arms. It was as if she should be there, always. He took his hand that was resting with hers on his chest and fingered her hair. It was the same mousy shiny brown it had been in there schools days, but now she tried to tame it. It was soft, and he loved the feel of it in between his fingers.

When I close my eyes

I think of you

And it takes me places that I’ve never seen

And the rain, It blows

You’re brushing up against my skin to wash me clean

Why was it now that I notice how good it feels to be with Harry? Hermione wondered as he played with her hair. She snuggled closer to him as they moved, trying to get as close as possible. He didn't resist, but tried to get closer too. She opened her eyes and for the first time noticed that other couples had started to fill the floor.

She looked up at Harry and realized for the first time that she loved him. She realized she always had, but why she was just realizing this now she didn't know...

She saw him looking back at her searching her face with his piercing emerald eyes. She saw something there. Something new she had never noticed...

~

Harry wanted her as close as possible, and when he felt her snuggle closer to him, he too tried to get closer. This felt right, so right that it scared him. He felt her lift her head off his chest and scan the dance floor. While she did he took the time to study her face and a sudden realization hit him.

I love her... He always had, but was just now seeing this. He saw her looking at him and He searched her face trying to see if she felt the same; trying to convey with out words how he felt. He saw the realization on her face and gave him a small smile. He returned it and the urge to kiss her overwhelmed him at that moment...

You're all I ever wanted

You're all I ever needed

It's you

You're all I've ever wanted

And Lovin you's the right thing to do

And I'll see it through

Hermione saw his face inching towards her and the idea that he was going to kiss her didn't dawn on her till the last few moments. She too started to inch her face forward to meet his...

~

It was now or never. He kissed her and their friendship was gone. Hopefully it would be replaced by something else. Something better. He was nervous when he saw she was just looking at him as he moved closer.

Then he saw her start to move to join him and he knew this was right. So right....

~

I'll show you the love in my heart

I'll show you the love that we have

I'll show you the love in my heart

Hermione had never had a kiss like this. The kiss itself wasn't different, but the way it made her feel was. She was breathless, utterly and completely breathless. Her knees felt weak, like they would give out at any moment. All the Muggle Hollywood clichés, she felt them in that moment. A moment that she knew had changed her life forever...

~

Harry was in complete bliss. With that one kiss he felt complete. A piece of his heart was put into place, a piece he hadn't known he was missing till that moment. The moment he realized he loved her, Hermione Granger...

You're all I ever wanted

You're all I ever needed

It's you

You're all I've ever wanted

And Lovin you's the right thing to do

You're all I ever wanted

You're all I ever needed

It's you

You're all I've ever wanted

And Lovin you's the right thing to do

And I'll see it through

Both had stopped dancing by now; wrapped up in their kiss. Everyone around them was oblivious to the fact that the best man and maid of honor were in the middle of the floor falling in love. That with this simple song that was playing two people had found what they were looking for in life. Love and they knew they would see it through.

A/N: Ok, not the bet thing I've ever written. I actually came out different then how I had imagined it. But I have no control over the muse; it’s what it wanted written so.... :) I hope you enjoyed.
