Hermione pursed her lips as she sat down beside Cormac at the Slug Club's New Years party. She hadn't really wanted to come along with him, but he had sounded pretty hopeful when he had asked her to go along as his escort.
Though, she couldn't help but notice that Cormac looked a lot better in dress robes rather than his uniform. He didn't look like the overgrown schoolboy that he really was. He looked like a young man.
It was just a few days after most of the student body had returned from their Christmas holidays. Hermione hadn't expected Professor Slughorn to want to continue celebrations, but she was apparently wrong. "So...are you happy to be back at school?" asked Hermione, straining desperately for conversation.
"Oh yes, it's great to be back at school," Cormac muttered, whilst tucking into a large bowl of ice cream. "I was getting so bored of sleeping in and enjoying life."
This only caused Hermione to purse her lips more. She could only hope evening would go a little faster.
