Ginny was the one who figured out who Hermione was first when she heard the muted giggle from under the mask. Her eyes became as large as saucers and tears began to run down her cheeks. She had always hoped to see Hermione again so she could admit her attraction to her friend. But, she had been convinced by those around her that Hermione was dead. After all no ransom demands had been made by the side of the dark. Surely, her friend would have been the perfect bait to lure Harry into a trap to be murdered.
