At first, when Hermione spots the young woman lingering by the side of the gathering, she assumes that Elle's gone inside to change outfits, perhaps because of a spill, or something for the opportunity to wear another lovely dress. But after a few seconds, Hermione realizes that the young woman isn't quite as tall as Elle, and that there's something different in her expressions. Younger, bright, her enthusiasm barely contained.

Curious and still feeling as though she's floating on cloud nine, Hermione makes her way over to greet the lady, offering a smile and a nod of her head.

"Hi there," she says, beaming. "Thank you so much for coming to the wedding today. I don't think we've met personally — I'm Hermione."
