The night went on with plenty of well-wishes and skeptical acceptances of their relationship, while Remus cringed every time one of his former students called him "professor". Hermione left Remus and Draco to get more drinks while she made her way over to chat with Hannah and Neville who had been talking quietly at the other end of the bar. Neville held her tight for a moment before letting her go and she peppered him with questions about how his last year was shaping up at Hogwarts. He was not only named Head Boy, but was pursuing an internship with Professor Sprout, and she was so proud of her friend. He graciously gifted her a potted plant for her birthday, and she was about to pick his brain on the pros and cons of growing versus purchasing Aconitum, the plant that gave the Wolfsbane potion it’s name, when the doors to the Leaky flew open.
