"Well guys, we should really get going. We'll see you guys later," Hermione said to Harry, Ron and Pansy, who was sitting on Ron's lap. They waved as they left. As they walk to Hogsmeade, Draco took Hermione's hand and squeezed it.
"Draco, I wanna check out a new robe shop here in Hogsmeade. Lavender told me it was full of beautiful robes."
"Ok, which one?"
"I think it's Olivia's All-Occasion Robes." (A/N: Totally made up because I dunno if there really is a robe shop in Hogsmeade. If there is and you know, send a review to let me know.)
"Ok, well, it's right ahead. Let's go," Draco said.
They walked in to the shop and Hermione's jaw dropped at the sight of all of the magnificent robes. It really was robes for all occasions. She walked over to the section labeled "graduation robes" and her eyes rested on a baby blue set of robes. They were floor length that had on button in front. They resembled their school robes except there was no crest on the front left hand side.
"Draco, these are beautiful!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Well, try them on and see," Draco said. Hermione found a set that was here size and went into a dressing room and tried them on. She felt like a princess! The robes fit perfectly, so she went out to show Draco.
"Wow Hermione, you look stunning!"
"He's right, you do," came the store owners voice. "Hi, I'm Olivia, the owner of this store. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Yes, I would like to buy these robes," Hermione said. She went in and took them off and redressed. Then she placed the robes on the counter for Olivia to check them in.
"30 Galleons, 9 sickles and 12 knuts," Olivia said.
"Wow, that's a lot of money," Hermione said, handing Olivia the money. "But they are beautiful robes so it's worth it."
Olivia put Hermione's robes in a bag and they headed out the door.
"Draco, did you want to stay in Hogsmeade for a bit or go directly home? I mean, we haven't been here in so long," Hermione admitted.
"Well, I guess we could go to the Three Broomsticks and have a butterbeer," Draco said. So they did. They walked to the Three Broomsticks and Draco ordered two butterbeers. He and Hermione sat at an empty table and began talking.
"It's nice what you done for Ron," Hermione said.
"What?" Draco asked.
"Setting him up with Pansy," Hermione said.
"Oh that. Well, I knew Pansy liked him and I wanted to do something nice for him to make up for all the time I spent teasing him and stuff."
"Well, they looked so cute together. And they both look so happy. But did you see the look on Ron's face when I told them that the person you take to the grad you have to sleep with? I thought he was ready to fly at Harry and kill him!" Hermione said.
"Well, if Potter does sleep with Ginny, I think Ron really will kill him."
"Yeah, I think you're right," Hermione agreed.
They finished their butterbeer and left. They Apparated back to the house. Hermione hung her dress robes in her closet so they wouldn't get wrinkled. Then Draco suggested going to Diagon Alley for the rest of the day. Hermione agreed and went upstairs and got Meeshca. She got her changed and held her tightly as she and Draco Apparated to Diagon Alley. Hermione went to Flourish and Blotts' to find a book on quick hair do's and makeup, while Draco went to Madame Malkins Robes For All Occasions to get his robes for the graduation. Hermione found the book she was looking for and continued to look around while she was waiting for Draco.
She came upon a book called "Magic For Expectant Mothers." She started to flick through it and her eyes widen at the type of spells and potions that the book contained: potions and spells to reduce your belly size, spells to make the delivery less painful, potions to speed up the length of your pregnancy and all kinds of other interesting things. She decided to buy the book incase she became pregnant again. She had just finished paying for the book when Draco walked in.
"Did you get your robes?" Hermione asked Draco, noticing that he wasn't carrying any bags.
"Yes, but I got Madame Malkin to hold on to it for me so you could see it first," he answered.
"Ok, well, let's go. I'm finished." They walked back to the shop and Draco went in to try on the robes he had picked out. They were dark blue and similar to the ones Hermione had bought (only they were for a guy obviously). He came back out.
"You look so handsome Draco, you have to get those."
"Ok, gimme a sec and I'll be back out." Draco went back in and changed, and came out and paid for his robes. They decided to walk around before going home.
The next week went by uneventful and before Draco or Hermione knew, it was time for them to return to Hogwarts. They quickly showered and got anything and everything they needed for that night. Hermione went upstairs and kissed her parents and Meeshca. She made for sure they knew how to get to Hogwarts the way Dumbledore told them. They told her to stop worrying and go before they are late. They Apparated and when they got to Hogwarts, they went directly to the Great Hall where most of the students were. They found Ron, Harry and Pansy and went to sit with them.
"Hey guys," Hermione said.
"Hey," the three said in unison.
"So, what are we waiting for?" Draco asked.
"Dumbledore needs to tell us what we are working on and how to go about doing it. Then we can get started. There are also a few Slytherins that haven't showed up yet," Pansy said.
"They're coming now," Ron said, noticing the door open. The Slytherins took their seats and Dumbledore stood up.
"The time has finally come for your graduation. Most of you have been waiting for this day for seven years; the day that you would finally become legal witches and wizards. The theme for this graduation is unity, so I would like you all to work together to make this graduation as memorable as possible. There is a list posted on the door of what each of you will be doing. Find your name, and if you are unsure of what you are supposed to do, come and see me," Dumbledore finished. "And no magic is allowed, except for those who are bewitching the ceiling." As Dumbledore finished this, every decoration needed, magically appeared in front of them.
Everyone rushed over to the door to see what they were supposed to do. Hermione, Lavender, Harry and Draco all had to write speeches for the graduation. Ron and Pansy, along with Neville, Dean, Pavarti and Padma, had to set up the tables. Hermione and Draco went to the library to write their speeches. It had taken them quite some time to come up with their speeches, but they eventually got them finished. They then returned to the Great Hall to see how the decorating was coming along.
It looked magnificent! Where the teachers table used to be, there was now a small platform and podium. The house banners were all hanging from the ceiling in front of the platform. There were individual tables to fit 12 people, along with a long table for the Head Boys and Head Girls (Draco and Harry and Hermione and Lavender. I don't think I mentioned that before, but that's why they both had to write speeches), prefects and Professor Dumbledore.
Around 7:00pm, the Great Hall was finished and everyone was excused to go and get ready. Hermione had went up to the girl's dorm and use the book she had bought in Flourish and Blott's to do her hair and make-up. Her hair was put up in a bun with strands of hair falling down and two strands in front on either side of her face. She had on a little pink blush and light blue eye shadow. She also had on a clear lipgloss She put on her robes, made for sure she had her speech, and walked down to the common room.
The three guys were waiting when Hermione came down.
"You look beautiful Hermione," Draco said smiling.
"Yeah Hermione, you look amazing," Ron said.
"Thanks guys, Harry, Ginny told me she would be down soon, she is just fixing her hair," Hermione said.
"Ok Hermione. And you do look stunning," Harry said.
"Well Hermione, Dumbledore told us to go down early, so we better get going," Draco said.
Hermione nodded, as she took Draco's hand and walked down to the Great Hall. They took their places as Dumbledore gave them a few words of encouragement.
"Hermione, you're parents and daughter have arrived, along with your mother Draco. Would you like to go and see them?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes," Hermione said. Hermione and Draco's parents (well, Draco's mother) walked in. Hermione's mother was holding Meeshca. Hermione ran over to her mother and hugged her tightly.
"Hermione, I'm so proud of you. I always knew you could do well. Congratulations Hermione!" her mother said.
"Thanks mum!" Hermione said, a tear running down her cheek. "I'll see you later. I have to go and sit down. Everyone is starting to come in. See you!" Hermione said, briefly kissing her mother on the cheek and going to sit down.
Everyone started to come in and sit down. Once everyone took their seats, Dumbledore stood up.
"Sadly, another year has come and gone. But I am pleased to announce that this group of students have been the best group that Hogwarts has seen in a long time. Most 7th years are very anxious to get this happy event started, so without further ado, let us begin with this year's graduation!"
A/N: The reason I have Draco and Hermione as Head Boy and Girl was because they were the original Heads, but then when they left, Harry and Lavender took their places. Now there are two head boys and two head girls. Sorry if that confused anyone. Also, if you wanna know how much money Hermione's dress robes were, they were $200 Canadian and $147.32 US
"Draco, I wanna check out a new robe shop here in Hogsmeade. Lavender told me it was full of beautiful robes."
