"Hermione you look great." Two girls said entering Hermione's room. The one had red hair that flowed to her waist. She was wearing a green dress that hugged her and showed of her every detail and highlighted her green eyes (Ginny). The other was a blond whose hair stopped at her shoulders. Her dress was baby blue to match her eyes and flowed instead of hugged (Luna).
"You're lucky Molly didn't give you a dress to match your eyes to."Luna said looking her friend up and down looking at the beautiful gown she was given to wear. "You look like Cinderella with brown hair" She added the last part with a smile. Hermione did look like Cinderella. Her dress was white; the top was like a tube top while the rest of it flowed down in kind of a fluffy fashion. Her brown curls were down and reached just past her waist. And her honey brown eyes held more life in them then they did a couple months ago.
The three friends took a last look in the mirror before heading down the stairs. Harry, Ginny's husband was standing beside Neville, Luna's husband. They both wore matching black tuxedos that had either a blue or green rose on it. When the three girls arrived at the bottom the guys were staring at them with their mouths opened wide. Ron joined their gawking when he walked into the room (same tuxedo with a red rose. Molly needs to stop dressing these people).
"Now don't all of you look great? Now here are you masks, black for the boys, green for Ginny, blue for Luna, and a lovely white for Hermione." Molly said handing out the last part of the costumes to the young adults. "Now off you go before Mr. Weasly gets back with a camera. They said their good-byes before leaving the house.
"Do you know how much fun this Masquerade Ball is going to be? Really fun, Neville watch out for that rock." Luna said as Neville tripped over a rock. As he stood up Luna cast a quick spell to remove the mud and Hermione added one to prevent other things getting on him.
"We got Hermione back; it's going to be the best." Ron said trying to climb in the driver seat of the flying car. Harry stopped him stating how they were instead taking a flying limo.
Hermione couldn't help but smile. She was no longer Hermione Quinn, but back to being Hermione Granger. You see two weeks ago Hermione got a divorce, making her free of her abusive husband that never even let her out of the house. She married Gregg Quinn two years after her seventh year at Hogwarts, she was only nineteen but she had thought she was in love (Harry and Ginny got married one year later, Neville and Luna two years). Everything had started out good. They lived in a house surrounded by a river. The house was a two story building that had been there for years.
One day though a business meeting went bad and ended in Gregg not getting a promotion. He got home and took his frustration out on Hermione. He took her wand and broke it in half, didn't let any owls give letters to her or let her send letters. Hid all her magical objects and they didn't have fire place so she couldn't floo anywhere. For one and a half years Hermione had to deal with his abuse. He gave her black eyes, broken bones, bruises, and raped her (she stopped wanting him in a sexual way once he hurt her). It ended when a new house elf reported it all to Harry. Gregg got five months in Azkaban because there was no real proof. But it gave Hermione enough time to file and get a divorce. She now lives with the Weasley's until she gets a house of her own.
"Hermione are you okay, you've been staring off in space half of the ride." Ginny asked bringing Hermione off the memories.
"I'm just fine Gin. I'm living in the glory of being free."Hermione said. The last part put a smile on everyone's face. Even the driver smiled who barely knew them.
"In other news, why did mom give 'Mione the lovely mask and we are stuck in plan, black pieces of shit?" Ron asked sending them into a laughing frenzy.
"We have arrived." The Driver said. They all pulled on their masks climbing out of the limbo. The boys exited first helping the ladies out after them. Hermione was the last one out and the other pairs of people outside the Ballroom gasped at her beauty. The group walked into the room together, envy clearly flowed off of ladies or men they walked by.
A/N: So how was it? I really, really tried to improve my grammar and spelling so please leave a review. Oh and in most of my stories I'm going to put pictures of outfits so look out for those.
