Thanks everyone for the reviews and follows on my other stories, its amazing to hear from you all and to have so many people interested in what I'm writting, considering it's just a passtime for me and not something I ever intend to do for any other reason than my own amusement.
That said, if you have any requests or challenges for me, let me know. I'm usually happy to accomodate and always up for a challenge!

Prologue
"All I'm saying is that she should let her hair down once in a while," Ron said.
"That's not fair; you know she did come along to the Ministry Ball!" Harry replied.
"That was six months ago now."
Hermione didn't feel the least bit guilty for eavesdropping on her two friends. The message stung a little to hear but the more she listened, the more she realised they were right. She'd done nothing but work for the last few months and hadn't intended on changing that until… Well, it was Christmas time and there were bound to be a few gatherings she should attend. Starting with that one at the Burrow, Molly invited the order every year to a get together for some nibbles and drinking. The place was large enough for them all to stay over and she had to admit, seeing the place covered in decorations and drinking the home made red wine was usually a pleasure. Slowly, she crept away, her mind already working out how she could have as much fun as possible in the next two weeks.
