DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER!
I KNOW IT'S TAKING FOREVER TO UPDATE BUT IM BUSY BUT HOPEFULLY IT WILL PICK UP IN A FEW WEEKS BUT RATHER THAN GIVING YOU NOTHING THIS WILL JUST BE SHORT.
Hermione was beaming and bouncing in her seat as she told the adults all about the books! She was just so happy to be learning new things. She had already finished reading and memorizing all the books in the Hogwarts library ages ago so this would be a good thing. Though Ron would be upset by it but his abandoning Harry makes his opinion even less important than it was before, and that was not that much mind you. So to say she was thrilled would be the understatement of the century.
Harry was just watching Hermione with a bemused expression on his face. It was nice to see her so excited. So he simply sat without fidgeting too much. He sat in the identical chair as hers just a few feet over from hers. They were the only two on that side of the desk, too.
Dumbledore sat in his chair opposite them behind his desk with McGonagall and Madame Pomfrey on either side standing.
They asked if they had found what they were looking for in any of the books they had read so far. That question was met by a long silence before Hermione was about to burst with tears since she was so frustrated since she hadn't found it nor had she been specifically looking for it. That is when everyone noticed that Harry was smirking.
"What?" he said when he noticed all their eyes on him?
"Why exactly are you smirking, Mr. Potter?" McGonagall asked him since no-one else spoke up.
"Oh, come on! You guys really think I'd leave there without at least a clue for figuring out about the veil to know if we could you know…" he stated as he trailed up at the end. He still hadn't quite mastered saying his godfather's name or much of anything about it without getting all choked up and emotional.
The Headmaster cleared his throat to clear away the awkward silence.
"Well, yes, um quite. Our bad, um mind sharing that information?" Albus Dumbledore asked, stuttering over what to say slightly.
They all watched as he pulled out an old tome from the pocket in his robes.
He handed it over to Hermione because he knew of all people she'd probably be the best to interpret and care for such an old tome. He also felt kind of guilty for keeping it a secret from her. She reached her hand out and took it from him, meeting his eyes. She saw the guilty in them and so she conveyed through her own expression that all was forgiven, but just to make sure he got the message she whispered, "It's all okay".
Immediately she knew that he understood so she took the book and flipped through it.
"Any specific page you found knowledgeable?" Hermione asked Harry since he had to have picked it up for a reason and its title was not much help.
It was titled: Visits Here and There.
The author wasn't even named it was so strange.
Harry simply said, "Page 394 is the beginning of what I believe is a section based on the Veil"
I looked at him surprised he actually remembered the exact page number. It was also hilarious that the number was the same number werewolves were on in our third year Defense Against the Dark Arts book. The one that not many people turned to earning glares from Snape since he had been subbing. I was smiling think about that year and with Professor Lupin.
I opened up the book to the previously stated page number. I then began to read it out loud for everyone to hear.
