Hermione woke up from the sunlight shining down on her. Yawning, she got out of bed and headed for the bathroom, where she stripped down and got into the shower. As the hot and cold water hit her body, her thoughts went back to her dream
The Dark Lord's evil eyes laughing down at her, broken down on her knees. Everyone had deserted her. She was all alone
"So finally, I have the pleasure of killing the brains behind Harry Potter," laughed Voldemort as he raised his wand, "And without you, Harry will be broken, easy to kill"
Hermione struggled to sit up, but she felt the pain of broken ribs and fell
"Ha, ha, how pitiful, I expected you to put up a fight, mudblood"
She looked around and saw her wand, but it was out of reach. Voldemort flicked his wand and was about to say the spell, when…
"STOP!"
It was a powerful commanding voice. Hermione looked around to see someone walking towards her. She couldn't tell who, as his face was hidden behind a grotesque mask. But when she saw his grey-blue eyes looking down on her, she felt a calming presence wash over her. Like she knew she could be safe with him
"How dare you! My personal right-hand man. You should be ashamed,-"
She never got to hear his name, as she always woke up right about then
Hermione's eyes flickered open, bringing her back to where she was. In the shower. She turned it off and got out, drying herself off and heading back to her bedroom to get dressed. After choosing a navy long-sleeved shirt over dark blue jeans to wear, she made her way downstairs to the kitchen, where she was met by her three best friends in the world
"Morning, 'Mione, you're looking good today," greeted Harry
"Morning, Harry, Ron, Ginny"
Ron was looking at her strangely. Ginny noticed and elbowed him
"Breakfast?" asked Ginny
"Definitely"
As she ate, Hermione noticed Ginny wanted to say something
"What is it, Ginny?"
"I got my dress today, this morning, and you should see it!" she burst out
Hermione looked over at Harry, who grinned sheepishly
"She hasn't stopped going on about it. It's driving us insane"
Hermione smiled. The wedding for Bill and Fleur was tomorrow, at nine in the morning. And Ginny was positively beaming about it, despite her dislike for the half-Veela
"Probably because she gets to wear a stunning dress?"
As soon as she finished breakfast, Ginny was hauling her up the stairs to her room and showed her the dress
"Oh my God, Ginny, it's beautiful," gasped Hermione
It was a long, read strapless dress, flowing from the waist down, with a black sash around the waist and a white rose on the right breast. With it came black, silk gloves that went up to the elbow and a pair of red high heels. Ginny was beaming at Hermione's delight
"It is beautiful, but not as good as your dress 'Mione"
"Oh don't be silly. Harry will fall head over heels when he sees you wearing this"
Ginny grimaced. She was still hurting from the break-up, even if it was for a good reason. But Hermione didn't noticed as she continued staring at the dress in fascination
"It's absolutely stunning. Both of us will be the envy of the wedding," gushed Hermione, "have you seen Fleur's dress?"
"No, but we'll find out tomorrow, won't we?"
"Suppose so"
She handed Ginny her dress back so she could put it away. Humming to herself, Hermione left the room and headed to her own. When she went to bed that night and closed her eyes, the first thing that entered her dreams was a pair of pale blue eyes, looking down on her, wishing her happiness. And then, the dream came again
