Since school started back up in September, Hogsmeade visits once again became something to look forward to.
There was the 2nd week of September and then, luckily, one on Hermione's Birthday, just in time to buy her something nice.
Things the next month were the same as usual; Harry and Hermione wandered down Hogsmeade together, walking past Scrivenshaft's and Zonko's, effortlessly ignoring Madame Puddifoot's as they entered the book store.
Harry was buying the latest defence book as Hermione finished her browsing and came up to the counter.
Harry laid out a few galleons for the book and began counting out knuts for the remainder. As Harry counted out the equal of 40 sickles in the small bronze currency, Hermione came up behind him and asked what he was doing. "I'm trying to get rid of all this change, Hermione", he said.
"But why, Harry? You're taking too long to finish" Hermione asked.
Harry just peers at her over his glasses, gave her a firm look and said,
"Come on Hermione, you should know this. It's No Knut November".
