When the day of the first trial came, Hermione felt all jittery. The courthouse was full and overflowing, Hermione hadn"t seen so many people in one place in a lng time. She never considered herself to be a socially anxious person, but now she definitely was. There were people that were complete strangers to her, many of them journalists, but quite a lot of them she did recognize, a few of them none other than the surviving Weasley family members whose eyes on her were no less than judging and condemning. The only person in the whole courtroom that Hermione felt comfortable with was Amita, whose extroverted and optimistic personality made Hermione feel better when the seats all around got filled with people who most definitely came here to behold Draco Malfoy"s downfall. Hermione must"ve been the only one in the entire world hoping to take him home.
