See Them Again (Hogwarts Reunion)

The Reunion

I own nothing! J.K.Rowling owns everything!

-----------------------

The Great Hall had been decorated similarly to the Yule Ball, that seemed to have been held aeons ago. There was a large banquet table running along one of the sides of the room, many circular tables were dotted around the room, surrounding the dance floor and creating an area to mingle. Where the teacher's table would normally be situated was a table covered in photos of memories made at Hogwarts and photos of those everybody lost in the war. Music was playing from an unknown source and people were grouped in their various gathering of friends, nobody was dancing so early in the evening. Everyone stopped talking and turned slightly as they heard or saw the doors open, to see who the new (and late, as the reunion had officially started only seconds after Draco had walked in) addition was. Collected gasps could be heard as they saw who entered.

Hermione walked forward with her head held high and her arms swaying by her sides, in a regal and elegant manner. Her side plait dangling over her shoulder and just touching her dress. The dress she had chosen to wear on this occasion was one that she had not released yet, a beautiful black halter-neck dress with an open back. It was long, and hugged her figure very nicely, opening up and allowing more movement on the lower part of the dress, which would allow her to dance with her husband. The material she had chosen was one that she had to enchant to get it just right, if you looked close enough one would notice that the bottom of her dress shimmers slightly, hiding the green flames that would be revealed and come to life whenever she twirls.

The women looked at her in envy, she looked fabulous and as if she hadn't aged a day, whereas the others in the room had subtle but tell-tale signs of ageing. Hermione smirked slightly as she heard her maiden name being whispered around the room. The whispers must have reached the Golden Duo, as Hermione could see a group of redheads and one jet black haired person move through the crowds towards her. Hermione looked behind her at Mel and Markos, both of whom dress in Gryffindor colours. Mel was wearing a red lace short sleeved dress that came down to her knees and had a gold ribbon in her hair. Markos was wearing a red shirt and gold tie underneath a black blazer, accompanied with black trousers and shoes. Both of them beamed at someone in front of them before running towards said person. Hermione shook her head slightly in amusement as she saw them run towards the first of the Weasleys to emerge, George Weasley - Pranking God.

Hermione caught the eyes of her best friend and started to walk towards her, but before she could to anything she got tackled by a grinning Ginny Weasley. Shooting her best friend an apologetic smile, she turned to face her old friend who appeared to have tears in her eyes.

"Hermione!" Ginny squealed, and then came the flood of questions. "How are you? Where have you been? What have you been doing for the past 15 years?"

"Woah! Gin, calm down. I just got here and I've already been attacked twice." Hermione raised an eyebrow and her hands in mock defence.

Ginny looked a bit sheepish, and pulled Hermione into another hug. "I'm sorry. I just missed you so much."

Hermione smiled slightly. "I missed you too."

"Did you miss me?" Hermione heard from behind her. Hermione grinned before spinning around and throwing herself at The Boy Who Lived.

"Of course!" Once she took a step back, she looked Harry up and down. "I'm surprised you're still alive. Merlin knows you wouldn't have lived past first year if it wasn't for me." She turned to Ginny. "You've done a good job, Gin, not a new scratch on him."

"Well, it hasn't been an easy task. At times, I myself have wanted to kill him and my brother."

"I'm sure." Hermione smirked.
