January 2nd Dear
I can't believe Dumbledore left. With him gone nothing is safe. Especially since Umbridge took over. That women is making me mad. Did you get that Quibbler magazine with Harry's story in it that I sent you? Do you believe Harry? Oh, Viktor. I miss you . Please write back soon.
Love,
Hermione
Hermione had just finished her letter when Harry walked into the Common room, arms filled with books and parchment. " Detention with Umbridge?" Hermione asked as she jumped up an ran to Harry to help him with his heavy load. " Yeah" mumbled Harry. It seemed to Hermione that since Dumbledore had left it was nearly impossible to communicate with Sirius, Harry had been quite grouchy and annoyed. I've got to find out what's going on in his mind. At that thought Hermione found out that she could use Leglimency on Harry. But with the look on his face she better not. Hermione hadn't noticed that she was staring into Harru's face while she thought tha until Harry said " Hermione are you there? Hermione? HERMIONE!" Harry was at the point of yelling at her from his horrible detention in which he wrote in blood again. Hermione snapped back to attention . " Oh... Sorry." Hermione said quickly since the look on Harry's face looked even grouchier than before. He kind of looks like Ron when he accidently heard Malfoy say something bad about his family and then Goyle pulled his trousers down. " Um... I have to send this out." said Hermione indicating to the letter " I'll be in the Ow,ery if you need me." Hermione walked out of the Common room and into the hal l. Once in the hall she began to run. She didn't care if she got in trouble at this point. Hermione was almost at the Owlery when she ran into Ron." Why are you in such a hurry?" he asked. I have to deliver this letter." said Hermione " Is it for Vicky? " Ron said with disgust. "As a matter of fact it is." said Hermione cooly." That was obvious." Ron mumbled to himself. Then , with rage, Hermione slapped Ron across the face." How DARE YOU!" she yelled and ran even faster towards the Owlery." What was that for?" Ron asked annoyed. Ron got no reply and headed to the Gryffindor Commom room to finish his work.
