Chapter 2: Iratus!
After two hours of planning, Hermione gathered all of her belongings and dashed up the stairs, back to her dorm. It was now nearly 7:00 but she thought it would be helpful if she at least had an hours sleep before she had to get up, once again, to go down to breakfast in the Great Hall.
As soon as her bushy hair touched her pillow, Hermione fell straight away into a deep sleep. She dreamt about house elves running away from socks and garments of clothing that were being thrown by a young man, a young man in which Hermione loved so dearly.
But the dreams came to a halt when the rambling voice of Lavender Brown interrupted and caused Hermione to wake up with a start.
"Mione it's 8:30! You've missed breakfast! I was going to get you up but I thought you looked tired so I left you, then I came back from the Great Hall and you still hadn't woken...I'm so sorry."
Hermione had rushed out of her bed and hastily began to swing her school uniform on, she had barely five minutes until transfiguration and McGonagall would kill her if she was just one second late! Al she could hear was the continuous apology from Lavender and this did not help her frantic search for her school shoes.
Finally, having found her shoes underneath the common room table, Hermione ran as fast as she could through the portrait of the fat lady; she had a minute to spare, then it would be detention. At last she was down the corridor and could see the classroom in view, one more glance at her watch told Hermione that she had ten seconds to spare. She hurtled to the end of the corridor and gasping, entered the transfiguration room.
"Heavens, you're cutting it fine Miss Granger." McGonagall said as the bell rang in the distance and Hermione swiftly found her seat and settled down.
The rest of the lesson came as a bit of a blur for Hermione. For the first time in her life of schooling, she had not understood a word that McGonagall had told the class as her terrible lack of sleep. In Hermione's opinion, four hours of sleep did not satisfy the mind of a seventeen year old girl.
"Hermione, are you alright?" Harry asked as they were making their way to DADA.
"Huh?" Came her reply. She had been daydreaming... once again.
"I just asked you if you're alright, you didn't answer any questions at all just now!" Grinned Harry.
"What's got into you?"
"I'm just tired, that's all." Hermione answered.
"Well yeah, I can see that." Harry said."You coming to Hogsmeade tomorrow?"
"Well I was but I would have to go on my own seen as you and Ron will be going with your girlfriends and besides, I've got other business to attend to."
"Whoa! No need to be snappy, Hermione, I was actually going to say that you should bring Neville so you could both join me and Ginny."
"And why would I want to bring Neville exactly?" Shrieked Hermione.
"We are friends Hermione, that's why! It's not like he fancies you cause he's going to ask out Luna at Christmas."
And with that, the fuming Hermione stalked off for free period.
"Iratus!" Shouted to the Fat Lady who swung forward to permit Hermione to enter the common room whilst saying:
"I can see dear." (IRATUS MEANS 'ANGRY' IN LATIN BTW )
For one hour Hermione added to her plan for SPEW. She was going to show everyone at Hogwarts what she thought of the enslavement of house elves and then they would realise what they had been doing wrong.
Easy. Thought Hermione to herself.
Although, that's what she thought.
