The door creaked open, revealing the hallway behind it. The walls on both sides were covered with pictures; of everyone. Herself, Harry, her friends and relatives, and a few pictures of Harry's parents and members of the Order. Hermione looked at them all as she passed by.
The first one she saw was of herself and her parents. They were both standing next to her, one on each side, with a hand on her shoulder. All three of them looked happy. Hermione was 11 then, her hair very bushy then; less so then now, which she was fairly thankful for.
The next picture was of her very good friend Ron. He was standing in front of Hogwarts on their last day before graduating in their final year. He was smiling, but his eyes seemed to tell a different story….they looked deeply sad….and then she remembered how she had felt too. Happy that she had made it and was graduating, but very sad to be leaving it forever. Hogwarts was so very special to all three of them; it was hard to think that you would probably never see it again. Hogwarts was where Harry Ron, and Hermione had met….where they had become best friends for life…..and where, on the very last day of their Seventh year, that Harry had proposed to Hermione. They had started dating over the summer, and everything was perfect. And when Harry proposed to her, Hermione was in absolute bliss.
She tore her eyes away from the picture to look at the next one. It was a baby picture of Harry. Another memory cam flooding back to her. She and Harry were looking through old boxes they had found undamaged when they went to Godric's Hollow so long ago. Hermione had found this picture at the very bottom of a box full of baby toys, and had decided to keep it.
The next picture was of Ron and Luna Lovegood, another friend. Ron and Luna were engaged, and were getting married soon. They had gotten engaged the summer after seventh year, and had started dating the summer before, just as Harry and Hermione had.
The next picture she came across was of Harry's parents, Lily and James. They were standing in front of their house in Godric's Hollow. Lily was holding a baby Harry in her arms, and James had his arm around her shoulders. Hermione sighed. She felt so bad for Harry, having to live most of his life with his horrible aunt and Uncle, and not even being able to remember his parents hardly at all…she would have liked to meet them too.
The next picture was of Ginny Weasley, and Draco Malfoy. They were currently just dating, but Hermione had a strong feeling that Draco was going to propose any day now. She and Ginny were still really good friends…still best friends…but they didn't see each other as often as they used to, since the war had started up. Everyone was divided, so it was hard to even have dinner with anyone.
The second to last picture was of the Order of the Phoenix. Everyone was in it. Tonks, Lupin, Mad-Eye Moody, Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley, Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Draco (he had turned over to the good side, and was now helping the Order a great deal), Luna, Ron, Charlie, Bill, Fleur (much to the displeasure of most of the girls), Luna's father, Kingsley Shacklebolt, and many others. It was the most recent picture of the Order. The trio and the rest of them were finally allowed to join in seventh year.
And at last, Hermione turned to the very last picture on the wall. She didn't recognize this person. It was a little girl, no more than four or five years old. She had brown, bushy hair, and emerald green eyes…. "Who is she?" thought Hermione.
