Hermione ran out of her room after Pansy, hearing their loud heels collide with the polished floor. They made it to the stairs and began walking down them, looking around at all of the decorations in the room.

No one had arrived yet, so Hermione and Pansy went into the kitchen where the boys should be. As Pansy opened the door and entered, with Hermione trailing right behind, they saw that the boys were there like they thought. After hearing the kitchen door opening, both of the boys looked up and their faces lit up.

"Woah, you both look great." Blaise stated, leaning forward on the kitchen counter. Hermione just smiled and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, and Pansy just smirked.

"You too!" Pansy replied, going over and hugging Blaise. Draco made the first move and went over to Hermione, grabbing her hand and kissing it. Then Draco looked down at the small hand in his.

"That ring fits you perfectly." Draco mumbled, stroking over the beautiful promise ring on Hermione's finger. Then Draco looked up at Hermione's neck to see the necklace. "That looks beautiful too. Doesn't your boyfriend have the best taste in jewellery!" Draco smirked, kissing Hermione's cheek.

"Yeah, my boyfriend does have great taste!" Hermione exclaimed, smirking back at Draco. Draco went and grabbed the four VIP invites from the counter on the other side of the kitchen.

"Come on, the guests will be arriving soon!" Pansy squealed happily, grabbing hold of Blaise's hand and dragging him (literally) into the living room by the front door as the first few guests started to pile in, showing Narcissa their invites or VIP invites.

"Do you wanna dan-- oh my god, did my mother invite them!?" Draco yelled, looking behind Hermione at the front door. Hermione turned around and followed Draco's gaze until they landed on.. Them. The people who were apart of why Hermione was in Azkaban! Harry, Ron, Ginny, Neville and Luna.

Hermione strutted over to them like she owned the place and Ginny ran over to her with a smile on her face. Ginny didn't notice how Hermione had slightly narrowed her eyes at the youngest Weasley.

"Hermione!! Are you alright!?" Ginny yelled, going to hug Hermione but Hermione pushed Ginny's arms back down to her sides. Ginny looked confused and slightly hurt, she was speechless.

"No I'm not alright! I was in Azkaban and now I'm a freakin' wanted witch because I had to escape that awful place! And it was all because of your little army!!!" Hermione hissed angrily, finally getting all of her emotions out on the poor red head girl.

"Woah Woah Woah there! You sent a curse at my Dad!!" Ron screamed, walking over to the two girls. Hermione scowled at Ron and turn her attention on him, ignoring Ginny completely.

"I'll do it to you too if you insist!" Hermione shouted, not even regretting it. Ginny let out a loud gasp and Ron just looked taken aback with his eyes wide. When no one replied, Hermione decided to ramble on. "I hurt senior Weasley by accident, I was aiming at Remus! I was trying to protect someone I love, wouldn't you do the same!? I immediately regretted it so just... Please. Leave me alone." Hermione mumbled. Her anger melted away and was replaced by sadness.

What shocked Hermione next was that Ron didn't retaliate, neither did Ginny. Ginny just sighed and then smiled, and Ron just hugged her tightly. After hesitating, Hermione melted into the hug and hugged him back.

But what Hermione didn't know, is that the red ring that Harry had gone her was glowing a lot, and the ring had started to turn black as the ring stopped glowing. Ginny was the first to notice it.
