Hermione opened her eyes. A pair of green ones were staring into hers.
Hermione gave a little shriek. She saw Harry and Ron smiling at her, with
presents in their arms.
"Happy Birthday!" They yelled. They started to sing 'Happy Birthday to you'. They sang horribly, but it was the gesture that counted. She smiled as they finished.
"You shouldn't be here, this is the girls' dormitories and you know I'm a prefect now," said Hermione, still smiling.
"We thought we'd make an exception. Lavender and Parvati are already up," said Harry. He gave her the present.
"You guys are so sweet," she said. Harry and Ron grinned. After she hugged them both she opened her presents. It were books, as she expected. Harry got her a very old book, about ancient spells. It must have cost a fortune. Ron had bought her a book also, but this one much cheaper, but she thanked him too. "Now let me get dressed so that I can go downstairs."
Harry and Ron shut the door behind them. They really were the best friends she ever had and many times full of surprised, most of the surprises she didn't like.
She took a quick shower and got dressed in clean robes. Hermione went down the stairs to the common room. Harry and Ron were chatting with Fred and George. Hermione hoped Fred and George didn't have any surprises for her, or she had to take points of Gryffindor.
School had started a couple of weeks ago, and Hermione was very busy with her schoolwork. Hermione decided that she wouldn't do much today, because of her birthday, or Harry and Ron would have a fit.
The rest of the day Hermione, Ron and Harry only did fun things. They walked around the lake and visited Hagrid. He also had a present for Hermione. It was a little animal, that looked like a rat, but was a bit smaller and fluffier. Hagrid said it was just a baby now and it would grow up to be twice as this. Hermione thanked him, even though she didn't even know what it was.
At the end of the day, after dinner, Hermione brought the small animal upstairs. Then she could take her books to study a little more.
Crookshanks was lying on Hermione's bed, sleeping. Hermione put the rat- like animal on the bed. She draw her wand and turned her pillow into a cage. She would find a better cage for him later. She picked up the book Harry bought for her. Tomorrow it was Sunday, so she could make her homework then. This book Harry bought looked very interesting and old. Maybe there were a couple of interesting spells in it.
Hermione gave the fluffy animal another look. He was as white as snow and very cute. Crookshanks was sniffing near the animal and looked approving. Crookshanks knew when an animal was evil or not. Hermione smiled. It had been a nice day.
Hermione would be behind her schedule, but she would do all her homework tomorrow. She sat on her bed, beside Crookshanks, who seated himself and fell asleep.
After hours of reading the spell book, that seemed to be very interesting, she fell asleep on the old pages. Her dream was very strange, but she couldn't remember what it was about.
It was just six o'clock when she woke up, but she decided to go strait to her homework. She had to get a book from the library.
While she was almost at the library, Hermione felt something weird in her head. Suddenly her head felt like it was going to explode. The pain was so terrible, that she wanted to scream as hard as she could, but the pain was already gone. Just as suddenly as it started, it ended. Her head felt normal and Hermione lowered her hands. There was something seriously wrong. Maybe it was because of sleeping so little.
Trying not to think about, she walked into the library.
Hermione started to read a book in the library about transfiguration. She had to read all of it within a couple of weeks. It was about very experienced transfiguration and it was really difficult.
Hermione concentrated as much as she could, not thinking about other students walking in and out of the library.
Hermione felt a hand on her shoulder. Hermione looked up and saw the strict face of the librarian.
"I'm calling you for ten minutes now, but you were to much in your book. I'm closing, it's already ten o'clock!" She said.
Hermione's mouth hang open. Ten o'clock? How could this be? She looked at her book. She had almost read the whole book, only ten pages not. This book was about five-hundred pages!
Taking her books with her she walked out of the library. What was going on?
