Hermione didn't actually know where she was going. She just went on walking on the path that lead to the center of the city.
Why wouldn't Fleur believe me? Since when had her hopes die? I'm not sure it was just in a short time. Why doesn't she have faith in our hopes anymore? Where can I find enough facts to make her believe me? If she won't be contended with muggle facts, then where can I find the facts she wanted? These questions bothered Hermione so badly. She was determined not to go back to their vacation home unless she has the proof Fleur wished.
While walking in the streets, she noticed that the day was starting to loose its brightness and suddenly began to be cloudy. Her heart began to race as an idea came into her mind. She just remembered; she already heard about a book about a spell that made the season change. If only she remembered what book it was, what category and what you need to do. The only thing she remembered was that it was found at Hogwarts. She didn't know which part since she just overheard two portraits talk about it but she was willing to find out.
Just as she was going to pull out her wand from her pocket, she just remembered that she had left it in her drawer and then decided to go home and get her wand.
When she arrived home, she saw that Fleur was still awake writing a letter in the living room but she disregarded this and went upstairs to get her wand. As she was climbing up the stairs she realized that she was very sleepy already and so decided to go to bed instead. " Oh well, I couldn't get those stuff on my mind with this sleepy head on. Better go to sleep." She said to herself.
Just as she was starting to doze off, she heard the creaking of the door and saw Fleur enter. "oh I see you have arrived. I haven't noticed" she said " If I were you, I'd change before going to sleep. Trust me it's going to be hard sleeping with a skirt."
Hermione took Fleur's advice and transfigured her outfit to a plain blue shirt and white pajamas then told Fleur " I'm very sure snow will fall this Christmas. I know a way. If only I can get that charm then I'll have the work done by tomorrow."
Fleur just raised her eyebrows. "Before Christmas? I'm not sure about that." She looked up just to see Hermione having a puzzled look " Aren't you forgetting? Today's December 23rd. The exact day before Christmas eve."
"Well then, I'll have the work done by tomorrow. I promise"
" If you can get the snow to fall by 5 p.m. in the 24th, I'll believe you. But if this doesn't happen, I assure you I'll throw my hopes away."
This seemed pretty fair for Hermione and so agreed. Actually, she was confident about this and didn't even think twice.
"Goodnight Fleur. I'm pretty sure snow will fall on the time you want it to. The job might be hard but I'll try my very best to do it."
" I'll have your word on that. Goodnight "
And the ladies climbed up in their beds, pulled their covers and began to sleep soundly after an exhausting day.
