There's nothing that Hermione's wanted more for this day than to be surrounded with friends and watch everyone share smiles and laughter. Having worked hard to keep the feel of the wedding natural and casual, Hermione begins to breathe more easily once the reception is well under way. Nothing's blown up, the food hasn't run out, and the music continues to play in the distance, soft and fitting for the occasion.

She's abandoned her shoes long ago in favor of more comfort as she goes around to greet her friends. Kate's dress immediately stands out in the crowd, and Hermione makes her way there with a smile. "Kate," she says, smile wide as she makes her way over. "Oh, Kate, you look gorgeous. Thank you so much for coming today."
