The teenage girl busied herself with the papers sitting on her desk. She flicked on her muggle radio, letting the music flow around her. Sitting down on the desk, she sighed, the stress of her work nagging at her.

What hurts the most was being so close and having so much to say and watching you walk away. And never knowing what could've been and not seeing that loving you is what I was trying to do. Not seeing that loving you is what I was trying to do.

I twisted my head towards the radio, and switched it off. The song ended and I quickly jotted the title down on a piece of parchment. I ran my fingers through my long black hair as I stood up, tucking the piece of parchment into my jeans pocket. A knock at the door sounded through the house and I walked over to it, expecting it to be Padma.

Opening the door, I saw exactly what I expected. "Hey, Padma!!"

Padma took my hand and dragged my out of my house, closing and locking the door behind me. Padma grinned as she dragged me down the street towards one of the ministry's cars. How she got it, I really wouldn't know.

We hopped in and I took the piece of parchment out of my pocket. "You ever listened to this song?" I questioned, waving the paper in front of Padma's face.

Padma snatched it and slowly nodded her head. "Oh, yeah! It's Amber's favourite song! Um... Why?"

I nodded my head. "Oh. No reason really."

Padma nodded with a look of disbelief. "Ok. Right. Whatever you say."

Later that day

I wandered alone through the streets of Diagon Alley when a girl with curly brown hair stopped in front of me. "Hello," she said, a smile forming on her lips. She lifted her left hand and ran her fingers through her beautiful curly hair. I saw an engagement ring on her ring finger as she lowered her hand.

She gasped, noticing I had seen the ring. "You weren't supposed to see that. Nobody's knows yet." She turned pink and sighed. Putting her arms around me, she said, "It's so great to see you again!! It's been so long!" I laughed to myself, realizing it was Hermione.

"I didn't recognize you there at first," I replied as she pulled away from me.

Hermione giggled. "It's the hair, isn't it? I managed to tame it. You like it?"

I nodded my head frantically then pointed at the ring on her finger. "Ron?"

She grinned widely, blushing. "Of course! Can you believe after all that bickering, we're together?"

I shook my head, no. "It was kinda obvious you liked each other."

Hermione glared at me. "And no one told me? Oh, whatever. Anyway, you been to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes yet? Oh, speaking of that. You should go to Hogsmeade with me!"

"I haven't been inside the Weasley's Wheezes yet." I looked at her hard. "What's in Hogsmeade I should see? And, after I see the Wheezes, I'll go with you. Only because of my curiosity."

Hermione grinned and she took my hand, leading me towards the joke shop.
