Wiping away her tears and breathing through the pain, Hermione rallied her courage to go back into the ballroom to tough it out.
She'd known this would happen. Draco hadn't needed to remind her they'd only been casual lovers. Heart-stopping sex in Muggle hotels for weekend flings wasn't a recipe for a grand romance, after all. Still…it had hurt to see Pansy hanging on his arm, wearing his ring, and celebrating their engagement.
What was it with winter-themed dances and heartbreak anyway?
Slipping her mask back into place and feigning indifference was going to be hard this around time, too.
