Just when she put her first step on the deck, a bald man came up to her and asked "Your name Miss?". She smiled and told him her name was Hermione Granger. He checked a list of names he was carrying an after he found her name on it, asked her to follow him. He led her to the reception area an lefg her there. She saw a very young man with bright amber eyes and dark brown hair standing behind the desk and smiling at her. The was he smiled made her insides squirm and she had to check herself before she went up to him. He introduced himself saying, "Hello mam, I am Ivan Murray and I'm the coordinator of this tour. I will be accompanying the guests on this journey. I hope your experience with us will be memorable." He spoke with such a strong Irish accent which made it obvious that he was from Ireland or had Irish in his blood. He called a bell boy and sent her luggage with him to her room. After showing her the details of the jouney he walked her to her room and bid her goodbye. As she watched him walk away, she couldn't help but smile. Her old fetish for Irishmen with bright eyes made her feel butterflies in her stomach.
After she settled herself in the room amd rexaled for and hour or maybe more, a note was delivered to her door inviting her to a party that night. The note said the party was to introduce all the guests to each other and the crew and to celebrate the first night on board. The prospect of meeting new people excited her. She started preparing for the party as soon as she finished reading the note. She selected her dress and accessories to go with it and then not-so- successfully tried to tame her wild hair. After she finished, she eagerly waited for the night to come.
