It had been 2 whole years since Hermione and Draco had seen each other. Hermione had split up with Ron-due to certain "differences". Draco had moved to New Zealand to carry out his studies and Hermione had gone to Oxford University to carry out hers. It was a Hogwarts reunion. Hermione was both excited but scared at the same time. Ron was going to be there, with his new girlfriend Lavender Brown (she hadn't died on the night of the fight, but was merely stunned.) Harry would be there with Ginny and all the others.
Draco couldn't wait to see Hermione. He had picked his favourite suit-black with silver buttons and a purple velvet inside also with inside pockets-and had sent it to the cleaners. His blonde hair was lighter than ever (thanks to the stuff his mother game him.) The HR was only 4 days away, so he had to look his best.

On the night of the reunion, Draco arrived at the Great Hall with Goyle. They were early because there was nobody else there. People started to enter the Great Hall, but none of them were Hermione. Hours passed, and still no sign. People were starting to leave,. Ron left before anyone else, and Harry left with the others.
