Hermione regretted her decision not to wear her blood-red dress. She saw Harry who looked worse than death itself, the bags under his eyes and his disheveled appearance made him look like he was on the verge of complete break-down. It brought satisfaction to Draco."This is too depressing even for my standards." Draco whispered in her ear and she had so stiffen her smile into his shoulder. She had to play the part, after all, the show wasn't over quite yet."Please be seated." They went on about their usual speech, the how's and what's of the process, boring stuff that Hermione already researched. She never went blind into a fight. Everyone tensed when they brought out Ron, who looked like a deer caught in the headlights.
