Thankfully, the dinner went by peacefully. Pansy welcomed everyone into the ballroom for the final part of the wedding. Hermione slipped past the crowd and went to her room. The silk dress was nowhere to be seen, even though Pansy promised to leave it on the bed. A realization slipped into her mind. She carefully pushed the door into Malfoy’s room. It was empty. Hermione picked up the box from the bed and quickly left. She slipped into the dress like it was her second skin. The silk felt soft against her body. Hermione took off the veil, trying not to ruin the hairstyle that Ginny did.
