It had been several years since Hermione had been around or seen anyone from Hogwarts and now she was preparing to go to an event that Hogwarts had planned for the Alumni of year her year. With a sigh she looked herself over in the mirror and then with one final tweak of her hair she smiled. The dress she had picked out for the night a shade of light blue and pastel yellow, the heels were a soft white. With simple makeup on and bracelet from her best friend Cho she grabbed her purse and prepared apparate to Hogsmeade to meet up with Harry and Ginny. Calming her nerves she stood in the middle of her living room and closing focused on the Hogsmeade town square.
As they waited on Hermione to show up Harry and Ginny spent sometime looking around and talking. It had been five years since they had spoken Hermione. And that had been shortly after the divorce. So looking at her husband Ginny said "Harry dear, do you think she will be excited to see us?" Everyday that passed Ginny had sat at home and thought. Many people had asked her if she had heard from Hermione she was only able to them absolutely nothing.
Putting his arm around his wife Harry sighed sadly and replied "Love, I am not sure. She has said handful of words to me since the divorce. I have even had Malfoy ask me what is up? And that is weird. He despised Mione during our time at Hogwarts." In fact just recently Malfoy had approached him and said something very odd. But looking back the past few times Malfoy had asked about Mione his manurisms and behavouir had been abit odd.
As he paces around Honeydukes with anxiety and frustration Draco shook his head. It had been a few years since he had met up with anyone from Slytherin and even longer since he had really seen many of the others/ But the one person who he was hoping to see but was in the same breath most nervous to see was Hermione Granger. During their time at Hogwarts he had been down despicable towards her. But since the final battle he changed many things. Hell his son Scorpius was forbidden to use the term Mudblood around him. It still bothered him though that his exwife Pansy Parkinson used them term. But then again she had been a pain in his backside all through school and even after they got married. As he paced around Honeydukes knowing that people were watching him Draco rolled his shoulders hoping to release some of the anxiety.
As she traveled through the air Mione kept her eyes closed she worked on controlling her nerves. As she opened her eyes she shook her head and looked around. Hogwmeade had certianly added a few more bulidings since she had last beento this quaint little village. Looking around she saw Ginny and Harry with a deep breath she approached them saying "It is nice seeing you two. Ginny, you look marvelous. And Harry you look dashing as always." She really hoped that they couldn't see through her facade. Her nerves were causing her stomache to do somersaults. And she felt quite uneasy.
Turning to Mione's voice Ginny squealed and without thinking she immediately threw her arms around Hermione saying" Oh my God. Mione. How are you? Haven't heard from you in ages. I have been so worried about you."
With ease Harry pulled Ginny off of Mione and replied "Thanks Mione. It is nice seeing you." He looked at his once best friend and saw that she looked unusually thing and a little pale. He had watched Hermione who had been not only the smartest and most accomplished witch but also one the most beautiful witches in his years go through hell with his brother-in-law Ron. Looking at her he could see that she was still suffering from the after effects and trauma.
Swallowing her yelp and concentrating on breathing she quickly looked away from both of her friends and did her best to regain her fragile composure. With clenched hands she turned around and said "I am ok. And it has been a while." She could feel her resolve begin firm up again. However, she also knew that before the night was over she going to more then likely break down.
As the alumni began to file in Professor McGonagal looked around she noticed nearly all of them were smiling but setting eyes on her top student from bunch she noticed that Hermione Granger was in deed not smiling. In fact the closer that she looked the more she saw that Granger looked like she was about to leap out of her skin. The young witch looked like she had lost weight but more noticable was the way the young with witch constantly looked over shoulder. With a stern frown on her face she cleared her throat and with her usual amplifying spell said "Welcome, class of 2015. We are glad you all could make it. IF you would please please continue milling around and file into the Great Hall when you are famished." With a slight tug on her robes she walked over tapping on Granger's shoulder managed to startle the young witch and cause her slam her back into a wall.
Hearing the yelp from Mione Harry turned and saw the professor there looking at Mione with concern. Going to his friend he got into her line of view and placing his hands on her checks said "Breathe deep Hermione. C'mon you can do it. It was only Professor McGongal. Yes, that's it." Looking his shoulder his eyes conected with McGonagal's he nodded.
Breathing in deep as she felt her fear start to receed Hermione took large gulps of fresh. As she came back into herself her worst fear came to fruition and she broke down into tears. Shaking and unable to remain standing she slid down the hall and cried.
