After dinner we got up from the table, scraped our plates and trudged up the stairs. The boys headed to their rooms and Hermione and I headed into my room. Once our teeth were cleaned and we were in our nightdresses we hopped into bed.
"Hey
Hermione," I said.
"Yeah?'
"We
don't have to go to sleep right away you know. Let's tell secrets," I said.
That
sentence probably makes any one who heard it think I was a bit ditzy. The truth
is I thought I could trust Hermione and if she thought I was telling her one of
my deepest secrets, she'd have to tell me something interesting as well.
"Okay,"
said Hermione, maybe a teensy bit reluctantly.
"
Ok, I'll go first," I replied, " I've been saving up for ages so when I'm in 4th
year I can buy something, like an invisibility cloak," (Hermione seemed a
little bit surprised but she recovered) " Or something really, really cool like
that"
I,
of course, hadn't told Hermione something really secret, I had just made it
seem like that.
"
Well," Hermione started, " In 2nd year we brewed a polyjuice potion
in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, so we could grill Malfoy about the Chamber of
Secrets. Ron and Harry turned into Crabbe and Goyle. I was meant to turn into
Millicent Bulstrode but you see you need a part of the person for the potion.
In dueling club there was a bit of hair left on my robes so I assumed it was
hers. But she must have had a cat and the potion wasn't meant for animals. And
that was why I was in the Infirmary. I had cat ears, eyes and tail!"
She
started to laugh and, as laughter is infectious, so did I.
"Night,
Hermione,"
As
I drifted off to sleep, I thought to myself, I guess that Hermione didn't
tell me a big secret either; Harry, Ron and Hermione must have a lot of
adventures.
