This year, on the fifth anniversary, Hermione's old flat had been chosen as the location. Only a couple of people knew about it, and she trusted them explicitly. If they turned on her, they might as well all give up now. So Hermione had spent the last few weeks preparing. It hadn't been easy. Ron was watching her more closely now, asking more questions. He knew what she was up to, not that he'd attended the party in the past three years. Not since his promotion.
