The reception area was adorned with posters of popular muggle attractions, their vibrant colors clashing with the subdued ambiance of the room. Draco approached the reception desk. Just as he was about to speak, a petite witch with curly hair and warm brown eyes stepped out of the room off to the side and greeted them, her smile seemed genuine as she welcomed them. Draco, momentarily taken aback by her familiar face, quickly regained his composure. He had not seen Hermione Granger since their Hogwarts days, and he had no inkling that she had been the one to bring his twisted plan to life.
