To Jackie Pappillion: I know it was strange for Lavender to accept it, but I think Lavender just does those things without really needing anyone to explain things. But Hermione had to.

Chapter 29: Theories And Lupin's Absence

Professor Dumbledore had the students return back to the Great Hall. They were soon joined by students from Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin who all looked confused. The Gryffindor's waited no time telling them what had happened. Hermione looked at Lavender, who looked scared about the thought of Sirius Black running around the castle.

"So how do you think he got in?" Lavender asked the next morning.

"I don't know," Hermione said. "But I trust the Professors will be able to capture him the next time he gets into the castle."

Lavender shook at that.

Of course everyone was worried about Harry being the target of Sirius Black. It seemed that everyone knew something that Hermione was determined to find out. Professors were walking with him and Hermione noticed that Percy was watching Harry very closely. Naturally this meant that no one was even thinking about all the strange things that had happened and that meant that Hermione could go after the cards. This was proven when she received a letter from Professor Snape, telling her that Dumbledore was now more concern about Sirius trying to attack Harry then about the strange things that had happened.

"Does this mean that you can capture the cards without any worries," Lavender asked.

"I hope so," Hermione said. "But I'm not going to take any chances. Especially with the fact that Li is hanging around."

Lavender got a little upset when Hermione mentioned Li's name.

"He's worst then Malfoy!" Lavender commented. "He thinks he's so special!"

"And that's is why I've got to keep him away from the Clow Cards. I've got a bad feeling that if he gets one then it might make things difficult."

"I hope not."

"Me either," Hermione said.

As the days past the weather, which had been okay, was starting to worse. Hermione had a bad feeling that this storm wasn't normal, like it had been waiting for something like this. Lavender also had a feeling that this wasn't normal.

"Do you think it's another card?" Lavender asked.

"I don't know," Hermione replied.

"It is," Kero said.

Hermione looked at him.

"What kind of card is it?" Hermione asked, hoping that it wasn't a hard one.

"The Thunder Card and the Storm Card," Kero answered. "The Thunder Card has the power to do exactly what it says and the Storm Card is the reason why we're having this storm."

"So its two cards in one," Lavender said.

Kero nodded. It surprised Hermione that Lavender hadn't freaked out when she had met Kero.

"So how is Hermione suppose to capture both cards?" Lavender asked.

"Don't look at me. If I had all the answers do you think I would look like this."

Hermione chose not to answer that.

"Do you think that Li will use this to capture both cards?" Hermione asked Kero.

"Could, if the little jerk thinks that he can overpower both cards," Kero said. "But, I don't think he'll be able to do so. You've got some of Clow Reed's powers and they'll answer only to you. We'll see what happens the next time it's really active."

Hermione had a bad feeling that would take place during the first Quidditch match of the season.

The day before the match the tower that Professor Trelawney had her classes in was struck by lightening. The Divination Professor screamed and ran from her tower. When Hermione heard this she knew that she would have to capture it soon before someone got hurt. Of course she had Defense Against the Dark Arts first to think about and then she could focus on the card.

Today's lesson was taught by Professor Snape. When Harry arrived Hermione got up and made her way to the front of the class. Harry asked Snape where Professor Lupin was at and Snape told him to go to his seat.

"I just want to know where he's at, that's all," Harry said.

Snape glared at him and then Hermione saw him looking at her. She shivered with fear and he turned back to Harry.

"I asked you to go to your seat," Snape snapped. "If you don't I'll take fifty points from Gryffindor."

Harry sat down at once and the lesson started.

"Are you alright, Hermione?" Lavender asked when the lesson was over.

"No," Hermione answered. "I still feel the evil coming from Harry."

Lavender stared at her.

"Are you sure that's what it is?" she asked.

"Yes, I'm sure," Hermione replied. "And I'm not a fan of not talking to Harry. I just can't stand the idea of being around him. Not until that thing is gone."

She shivered again.

"Lets hope that Kero has an idea on what to do."

"I hope so," Hermione said.
