Warnings: None

Fortune #3: Share important news, good or bad, with your family and friends

If there was ever a moment Hermione Granger wanted to cower, this was the moment. All eyes were on her in shocked stillness, and she felt her pulse gradually uplifting with every second that went by. She thought she might just get up and leave, but she felt the reassuring pressure of Draco's hand on hers and she stopped herself.

They needed to know.

"Ginny, Harry, Ron. . . I love him. And he loves me."

Silence.

She looked to her left, searching for those eyes she's grown to admire. They were smiling back at her, with such joy she couldn't help but smile back.

"Well, bugger! If he makes you that happy Hermione. . ."

She released a breath she didn't know she was holding and turned back to her friends with the most loving smile ever to cross her face.
