Hermione had her ring in her pocket, and her hand kept slipping into it all night long to play with the gold between her fingers. It was really distracting to have it, but not be able to wear it. She would have to talk to Ron about when it was time to tell the rest of the family about their engagement. Soon, she hoped. Things seemed to be going so well, she was having a wonderful time. Even through her distraction, the night was going wonderfully.
Hermione wandered into the living room and settled on the arm of the sofa. She was going to strike up a conversation with Audrey about the bakery when Ginny made her announcement. Hermione was floored. Nervous and excited, and incredibly happy for her friend, she stood from her position on the sofa to cross the room and hug Ginny. It was hard to tell from the expression on Ginny's face if she was happy or nervous or...but Hermione could be happy for her. And Harry, too. "Congratulations!"
Did that mean they were getting married? Perhaps Hermione and Ron would have to put off telling the family about their own engagement.
