Chapter Twenty-four: Hogsmead
Sunday September Seventh one week.
Mione woke up that morning on the couch out in the main room; Hanna Draco and Tom were there was well.
Wasn't it ironic how she was always the first to wake? Well for the best of the last six years, Mione had to sleep late and wake early, so she was used to it. But today was the Hogsmead weekend before her birthday!
So naturally, she woke everyone up.
Touching her wand to her throat, she recited 'sonorous' and yelled "THIS IS YOUR WAKE UP CALL!"
Thus causing the entire room to jump.
"MIIIIIIIIIIONE!" Hanna whined "ITS Suhday, les hush sleeps!"
Draco moaned as he stood up, and then fell back down, sleeping.
Tom was wearing ear plugs to he just jumped and went back to sleeping.
"you guys are no fun."
They moaned again, and she left.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When she entered the Great Hall, there was only one person there, Harry.
"Morning Harry!"
"Morning Mione, whats up?"
"Nothing I'm usually up at this time, why are you up?"
"Couldn't sleep."
Her smile frowned and she sat down beside him, "Care to tell me about it?"
"Just, another weird dream that's all."
"Harry, a lot more than a bad dream is bothering you. Tell me."
Silence.
"I feel, like I don't know you anymore." And he looked away from her.
"Harry.. ."
He looked at her and stood up, extended his arm, and spoke "My Name is Harry James Potter, Son of James and Lilly Potter; it's a pleasure to meet you."
Mione looked at him oddly then stood up and took his hand "My name is Hermione Elizabeth Granger, daughter of Christine and Robert Granger, muggles."
"There, you know, I never knew your mum and dads names?" they sat back down.
"Really?" Mione looked shocked.
"You don't tell me a lot about your home life, I hardly know more then what Malfoy could tell anyone, and thats pathetic, considering I'm your friend."
Mione mumbled something that sounded strangly like 'not with the info he knows.'
"What?"
"Oh! Nothing!" she recovered.
"What did you and Ron discuss yesterday?"
"Friendship."
"what about it?"
"That I'm not acting like much of a friend to you." Her eyes dropped. "You know Harry, you aren't the first person to go through this hell, you know?"
"WHAT?"
Mione looked up. "did I say anything wrong?"
"How do you know what I'm going through?"
"I know because I'm the one making you, now shut up for a second ok?" she snapped. Then calmed down. "Sorry, shouldn't have snapped."
"alright, so what do you mean when you say I'm not the first?"
"I have two friends at home; I had to force them into this too. They, as law states, can't know I'm a witch. But they are very clever, and quite smart. So whenever I have to lie to them about my schooling and where I am during the year, they have the capability to find out I'm lying, and they did." She took a breath "So you could say I'm used to this, though I don't like lying to you Harry, so I'm slipping quite a bit. Ron notified me. I'll tell you Harry, what I'm keeping from you, when the time comes when you need to know it. It will be before this years over, its just.. ."
"Just what?"
"I hate lying to you, but.." a tear formed and fell. "I don't want to burden you with this until you have to be, but I'm burdening you by not telling you, I don't know what to do."
"Just tell me."
"I can't not now, you aren't ready, neither am I for that matter."
"Alright, later then, thank you Mione for at least speaking with me."
"No problem, after all, you're my friend."
"Let's stop talking about that, what about Hogsmead, care to come with me and ron?"
"SURE!" and she hugged him. "wouldn't miss it."
"Glad, I've missed you Mione."
"Oh and Harry?"
"Hum?"
"Next weekend, I'm going to be a bit edgy, so, yeah I figured you should know in advance."
"Time of month?"
And she smacked him.
"HAY I was just kidding!"
"Don't kid about that!" she tried to sound serious, but a giggle came out, followed by full out laughter. Harry joined in.
From the shadows, someone watched.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When Mione got back up to the Head Tower, the other three were up. "Finally, you know you guys are horrible conversationalists in the morning?"
"Yeah, well don't blame us!" Hanna chided, "my brain doesn't work well until I've taken my shower!"
"And I just was to tired to get up."
"I need my sleep." Tom finished.
"Oh well, look what I got!" and she slammed the big library book down onto the table.
"Library? Our Mione?" Tom shook his head. "We almost broke her guys!"
"Ha, ha." Mione said Dryly "Any way, get out your cards!"
Hanna ran to her bag, tom got his from his back pocket and Draco from his sleeve. Hermione opened the book to the page.
"This is a charm, the first of many we'll be adding to our calling cards, this one allows us to call each other, and know when ever any of the others are in danger. We pick a color for calling and one for danger. So for example, I choose my color for calling to be gold, and for danger, Red,"
She recited "aureus et rubius narro!" and tapped her card. "Now you all do the same, it's calling color 'et' danger color then 'narro' in latin or Italian, which ever you know better."
" can we say it in English?" Hanna pleaded "I don't know either of those!"
"Umm." Mione flipped though that book, "It does say anything aginst it, so I say we could try."
"YEAH!" And hanna tapped her card saying "yellow et black narro."
Draco shook his head " Verde et Agus narro!"
"show off." Hanna mumbled.
"Sapphire et Bronze narro!" Tom tapped his card.
"Now we all say 'convenio' to join them..one..two..three.."
"CONVENIO!"
The cards flashed. "There, all done. We should check Hanna and toms cards though, just in case. Hold them and vision either me or Draco in your mind."
Hanna closed her eyes and held the card between her hands, in a praying fashion. Hermione's Card glowed yellow. "It works."
"Now I will call you back." Mione held hers between her forefinger and her middle finger. Hanna's card glowed gold, the color gold of the power that embraced Hermione before. "It seems to work for you Hanna, now tom your try."
He held his card in his palm with his thumb over it, and Draoc's card glowed a deep blue. Draco cupped his card and Tom's glowed a deep emerald.
"This is all just fine and Good Mione, but how do we actually talk?"
She flipped the pages, and pointed to a paragraph. "We talk though our minds, the cards are just used for calling, no communication can be placed on them, but through them, then we can talk. However, when one of us is in danger, no communication can be made." She recited.
"Alright, if one of us gets in danger, how will we find them?" Tom asked.
"I don't know, that page is missing." She pointed to the rippedplace where a page used to exist. "But lets not worry about that, I have to return this to the restricted section."
"Restricted section?" Draco asked, in awe. "how did you get in during the day?"
"Snape gave me promission from the potions thing I'm in."
They all looked very schoked. "He must trust you a lot." Hanna Broke the silence
"I suppose so." And she lifted up the book. "Also, I'm going with Harry and Ron to Hogsmead, so if you need me, find them." She winked. "Maybe you guys can do what you can't next week hum?"
And she left.
"Wow." Tom sat down.
"I didn't realize she could go in there." Draco looked at the entrance with awe "This might make things later on, much easier.
They all nodded in agreement.
"Now, what to get Mione.. ." Hanna started.
