Houses ChallengeHufflepuffYear 2Drabble - [WC = 328]Prompt: weather- overcast
.oOo.
It was a Saturday in August, which were normally filled to the brim with shopping, catching up on correspondence, meeting friends, or getting ready for events like weddings. This particular Saturday, however, Hermione Granger blissfully had nothing pressing to attend to.
Stretching in her bed to wake up tired muscles, she glanced over to the clock. She had to rub the sleep from her eyes before she believed it. Somehow, she had slept past ten AM. That hadn't happened since her days at Hogwarts when she was going through her final growth spurt, or catching up with sleep after being on the run during what would have been seventh year. A soft light filtered through the sheer white curtains over her bedroom windows.
After getting out of bed, she pulled the curtains back to reveal an overcast day. Rain was not in the forecast, so this must be one of those rare summer days that was simply gloomy. Deciding against making her bed, another anomaly for the day that brought the total up to three, she made her way to the kitchen to make a pot of tea and grab some biscuits to nibble on.
Crookshanks wound around her legs as she levitated the tray laden with all the snacks a young witch would want if she were planning on spending the entire day in bed, which she was. Placing the tray on her bedside table, she pulled something off the shelf that she hadn't had a chance to read.
She transfigured one of her pillows into something that would support her back and neck for the long day of reading that lay ahead. Thankful for the gloomy overcast day, Hermione cracked open the cover of her newest mystery novel and settled in for a long day of reading. Her ginger half Kneazle curled up next to her knees and the loud rumbling purrs were relaxing to the witch.
This was shaping up to be an amazing day.
