A woman stood not even a yard away from the front doors of 'The Three Broomsticks' . The woman sighed and pulled her coat tighter against her. Shaking her head, she turned sharply on the heel of a boot pulling a hood over her head, and making her way through the crowd.
"She's all right, isn't she mate?" She heard someone yell loudly. "'Eh, she'll do." She heard someone else say. "Miss, Miss!" She turned around to see where the suffocating yelling was coming from. "Good, I didn't think you'd know we meant you." A man with raven-hair and green eyes said making his way to her. "I-I didn't I was just tired of you yelling." The woman said stubbornly. "Oh, sorry. Look My friend over there-" The man started pointing to a red-haired man making his way through the crowd. "-is planning on playing a simple trick on his sister, and we could really use your help." He finished giving her a wide smile.
The woman looked back at the red-haired man. "How..childish! You two must be.." She started then looked between them. Raven-hair..red hair, how could she not see it! Of course, this was Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley. Figuring it out, she gave a mischievous smirk. "I'd say about 25? Honestly, people as old as you two are should not be playing such immature stunts."
"Excuse me, Miss?" Harry asked, stunned by her tongue lashing. "Oh please, you heard me." She responded, crossing her arms causing her coat to open. She looked at Ron who seemed to be studying her body, and by the looks of it, he was pleased. "I'd like to ask you to stop staring at me, or at least stop staring at anything below my neck!" The woman yelled at him catching him by surprise, almost immediately he started blushing. "You know, you're voice seems vaguely familiar. I'm sorry, what's your name again?" Harry asked, looking her up and down but not for the same reason's Ron did. "I never said it in the first place. I'm Hermione Granger" She said, only managing a serious face until she got to 'I'm.' This caught both males attention as their eyes shot up to her face. "Bloody Hell.." Ron yelled looking at her, his voice cracking a little bit. This caused Hermione's smile to widen. "Hermione..you've..grown." Harry said pulling her into a large hug. "Thank you, Harry." Hermione said laughing, hugging him back. "Holy hell!" Someone yelled from across the crowd. "If I didn't know better, I'd say that was..."
"Hermione Granger." Harry said smiling at her, finally releasing her from his grip. She looked at Ron who still seemed to be in disbelief on the whole situation. "Don't worry, Ron. I've never forgotten about you or you're family!" She said smiling, as soon as she finished speaking she felt him grip her in a warm hug much different from Harry's. This hug brought back memories from their seventh year when they were dating. Whenever Ron touched her she felt comfortable, and safe. It was this she needed.
She watched as another man walked up to her pulling her into a tight hug. "Hermione! We've all missed you so much! I'm a healer now!" Yelled the man as he released his grip. "Good for you..er-"
"Oh, Neville"
"Neville! Merlin Neville you look..good" Hermione said eyeing him, being back here made her feel like her old self. She felt good. "Thank you, oh I suppose you don't know. Luna and Myself just got married this past summer." He said cheerfully. "Oh that's excellent, Neville! I'm so happy for you."
"Thank you, I suppose Harry's already invited you to his wedding?" Neville split the words out, turning to Harry, Hermione smirked. "Wedding?"
"Er..yes, I didn't have the time to tell you.." He said directing his comment towards Neville. "Ginny and myself are to be married this Spring."
Hermione let out a small scream that seemed to catch the attention of half the crowd, throwing her arms around Harry's neck she laughed. "That's wonderful! I knew it would happen after I found you two in that classro-"
"Hush!" Harry yelled, pointing to Ron. "He still doesn't know about that!" Harry whispered to her. "Ooh" Hermione nodded and shut up about it. "What? Found you and Ginny where?" Ron asked dumbfounded.
