I was just waking up and I didn't know where I was. Was I even in the dorms? Where was I? I rolled over and saw I was in the Gryffindor Common room and my face was planted in a book. I don't remember reading. I must have been really tired. Wait. I don't remember what I did yesterday. I last thing I remember is going to Herboligy, but that's where I draw a blank.
"Hermione?" Ron called down the stairs at me. "You ok? You didn't seem yourself at Herboligy."
I yawned and realized I was still really tired.
"I'm fine," I said. "I was just tired."
I know I lied and I felt really bad, but forgetting things in the wizarding world might mean you were under a spell. Spells like these need dark, dark magic. I was going to tell Harry as he came down, but something stopped me. I needed to tell Dumbledore, or McGonagall.
"I'm going to be right back." I said and exited the common room.
I swear as I started to turn around, Harry's face turned red. I headed down the corridor and turned right. I jumped the trick stair and went straight to Dumbledore's office. I said the password and entered.
"Headmaster!" I called into the office. "Headmaster, I need to speak with you!"
Just as I said these words Dumbledore apparated into the room.
"Ms. Granger," he said to me. "Take a seat."
He gestured at a chair and sat down in the chair in front of it.
"What is troubling you?" he asked me.
I hesitated and I started to tell a lie, but the truth came pouring out. I started to cry and I closed my eyes trying as hard as I could to hold back the tears. Harry burst into the room.
"Headmaster-" he started to say, but stopped as his face turned red. "Um..." he shifted uncomfortably. "I'll come back latter."
"No, no," Dumbledore said. "Take a seat next to Ms. Granger."
Harry uncomfortably walked over and sat down hesitantly. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. I started to cry a little, again.
"Ms. Granger," Dumbledore said to me. "Can you walk yourself down to the Hospital Wing?"
"Yes." I said a I got up and left. I started to walk down, but I heard Ginny Weasley crying. I went a little closer to the noise, but stopped. I heard a male's voice trying to comfort her. It was Ron's.
"Ginny," he said. "It's ok."
I started to fall.
