The Hogwarts Reunion!

The Departure...

The reunion was a week later, and Hermione had called over their friends to discuss their (the Malfoys') comeback into the Wizarding World. All of DraMione's friends had received the letter from Professor McGonagall; inviting them for the reunion.

The next evening, the whole gang had gathered at the Malfoy Manor. After a sumptuous dinner that Hermione herself had put up with the help of Honey, was done and dealt with, the real reason for the group to be there was broached upon by Pansy Zabini neé Parkinson.
"Mya (Hermione's friends' nickname for her), I think you have made a brave decision to attend this reunion. You had not done anything wrong, and it's high time you faced those who wronged you! Besides, we all would be there!", pPansy said, resting her hand atop Hermione's, who was seated next to her. Hermione smiled warmly at one of her best-friends, nonplussed at how much things had changed. She simply nodded her head in affirmative. Blaise, who had been listening to the exchange between his wife and sister-like-friend, like the others present, smirked as a plan of DraMione's reappearance into the Wizarding World, began formulating in his notorious mind. "I have a plan!", Blaise quipped in, with the smirk intact on his oh-so-handsome face; making all eyes around the table turn in his direction. The others raised their bows indicating Blaise to enlighten them with his genius plan and the guy in question complied. "So what we do is...", saying which he continued narrating his plan. Satisfied with Blaise's idea, Draco patted him on the shoulder as a sign of appreciation and Hermione smilingly thanked him.
lol Now that the whole strategy of DraMione's return was finalized, the ladies began discussing and the arrangements - like their attires and stuff - to be made for the reunion. They unanimously decided to wear something from the H.G.M. collection, for they settled for nothing less than the best; and Hermione's work was beyond excellence! Narcissa and Lucius had been informed of the plan, and the duo was up for it.

Hermione had nothing to worry about because she knew that she had been innocent all along; so did her family and friends. She knew that if anything would go wrong, she many people she could always count on, to be with her; and out of all, she had Draco and that nullified all of Hermione's worries; she wasn't sceptical about attending the reunion, just a bit edgy...she was going to face her past after a span of five years, and that made her a little anxious.

"Stop worrying love!", Draco said, wrapping an arm around his wife's shoulder, pulling her to himself. Hermione heaved a sigh and placing her head on her husband's chest, said, "I am not worried, just skittish!" Draco hmm-ed in response, saying nothing, as he understood what Hermione must be going through at the thought of seeing her 'friends.'

A week before the event, the ladies had been on a visit to Hermione's boutique. Having selected their preferred outfits and also for their better-halves, they made way to their favorite restaurant in muggle London. After finishing their meals and promising to get ready for the event at their former school, the ladies departed to their respective abodes.

At the Potters' residence, there was hustle-bustle for the upcoming get-together at their former school as well. "Do you-do you think she will be there?", Harry asked his wife - Ginny - as she got on to the bed. "I don't know; maybe, maybe not. And even if she is, I will make sure that she knows her place, especially after what she'd done to Ron!", exclaimed the red-haired witch. Harry remained silent; just like he had after whatever had happened with Ron and Hermione.

Harry still could not get his head around whatever Ron had told them about Hermione. He found it difficult to believe that Hermione could treat Ron in the way she apparently had. But unfortunately, he went by Ron, in the process losing his friendship with Hermione. And with the reunion coming up in just a week's time, Harry had an uneasy feeling about the possibility of everything and anything that could happen. Ron, on the other hand, was worried sick about his lies being revealed, and so was Lavender. It was going to be a mad reunion, that was for sure.

Before anyone of them could realize, it was the day of the much-awaited and the highly anticipated 'Hogwarts Reunion.' As they had decided earlier, Astoria, Daphne, and Pansy had gathered at the Malfoy Manor and so had their respective better-halves. Being a part of the fashion industry helped the witches to get impeccably ready within a short span of time.

After getting ready, the ladies met up with their husbands. "You look beautiful darling!", Draco complimented his wife sincerely. "So do you babe!', Hermione said, smiling warmly at him. The others complimented each other as well.

"Ready?", Draco asked Hermione as it was time to apparate to the Hogesmade, from where they were going to be off to their old school. Smiling at the people around her, Hermione answered, "As ready as I will ever be, with y'all by my side!" And thus, they departed for 'The Hogwarts Reunion.'
