(I don't own Harry Potter)
Chapter Two : Water
When Mione made it down to the hospital wing, Madame Pomfrey was already starting. "Oh there you are dear, come over here and hand me the bottles as I ask for them."
"Alright." And she put down her stuff and proceeded to help.
As soon as they were done, Mione was about to leave when Ron came in panicking.
"Ron! What's up?" Mione asked sweetly.
"No time, Madame!" he called. Madame Pomfrey came out of her office quickly. "Harry collapsed in Divination again and this time, he's twitching, and not responding to anything!" Ron apparently was frazzled.
"I'll help." Mione offered.
"Alright dear, go fetch Dumbledore while me and Mr. Weasley go get Mr. Potter."
"Alright Mame." And The two ran out of the room leaving Mione alone. She turned and went to the window, she sat on the ledge and fell out it.
She felt the wind, and before she knew it she was climbing in Professor Dumbledore's window.
"Getting exercise Ms. Granger? Or perhaps you lately have a longing for entering room by way of window?" Dumbledore asked as she dusted herself off.
"Madame Pomfry wants you in the infirmary, Harry Collapsed in Divination again, and isn't waking up." She said simply then did a back flip out the window again.
Dumbledore just smiled as his eyes twinkled. He then stood up and proceeded to the hospital wing.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
Harry was in a deep sleep, he wouldn't wake. Everyone, meaning Ron Mione and the entire staff watched him in intervals, while Pomfrey nursed him. Four eyes are better than two they say.
It was Mione's Lunch watch and she was getting anxious. Because of Harry she hadn't been able to get to the Astronomy tower lately. But he was worth it, no matter how much she had to pace to keep her energy from driving her nuts.
One day Pomfrey got fed up, and exploded. "MS. GRANGER WILL YOU STOPP FIDGETING?" she took a breath "I'm sure you want to go to the library or something, but you are here to watch Mr. Potter, if your pacing, your attention is else where, and you're starting to irate me."
"Oh its not that."
"Then what is it?" she asked annoyed.
"Its just I can't feel the wind in here, that combined with my worry for Harry, is just building up in me and I have to release the tension some how. Moving helps."
"the wind, Ms. Granger?" And the lady raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah." Mione moved over to some bars and started to do a hand stand on them.
"You had best go to the Astronomy tower and plan on not helping here, with Harry."
"Why?"
"Ms. Granger, how often on a normal Basis do you go somewhere to just feel the air?"
"Five times a day mame. Before and after breakfast, lunch, and before and after dinner. Then any other time I can manage. " she said lowering herself from the bars.
"Can you fly a broom?"
"Not very well."
"I see, yes I expect to see you after Dinner Ms. Granger, I will make arrangements with the professors. Go now and relive your tension."
"thanks!" and she hugged her. "You sure it wont be any problem?"
"Not at all, this is better then you being here, I can manage for a day."
"You mean I still have to come back?"
"No, you will not come back, I will arrange with the other professors some ulterior plan. Go now before you give me a head ache." And Mione left.
*~*~*~*~*~
Soon after she was gone, Poppy went over to the fireplace in her office and though powder into the flames. "Severous! I need to talk with you!"
Soon Professor Snape walked out of the flames.
"What's wrong you know this is my planning hour."
"I need you to take Ms. Grangers time. She'll take yours instead."
"But that's after hours!"
"And she is of no help at this time, you should have seen her!"
"Granger? She's the perfect student what could be wrong with her?"
"I will tell you once I find out, but if you insist on knowing her actions go up to the astronomy tower, you'll find her on the roof."
"Why in hell is she there? She's supposed to be watching Mr. Potter!"
"I told her to. Now go, I'll watch Harry for now." And he left too.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ms. Granger!" Snape called once up in the tower.
"Up here Professor Snape!" she called, just as Madame Pomfrey had guessed she was on the roof.
Snape climbed up and saw Hermione balancing perfectly on the very tip of the pole that was in the top of the roof. What made this feat truly amazing, was the fact that the wind was blowing very hard, and she had her arms outstretched.
"What in blazes are you doing up there Ms. Granger?"
"shh! Listen." She smiled. "Can't you hear it?" she asked and looked down at him
"Hear what?" he drawled, "the wind booming in my ears, yes I can hear that."
"No, the voices. The students are having a fun lunch. Ron is sad because me and Harry aren't around and he has to talk to Ginny and Lavender!" She laughed "Mafloy is having such a tantrum! I wonder what could be bugging him like that?"
"What are you talking about Ms. Granger?"
She looked down at him shocked. "you really can't hear it can you?" she thought. "Perhaps you need to be up here, and she jumped down and landed next to Snape who was looking at her in awe.
"Don't you ever worry about falling?!" he shouted!
"No, if I do I just end up in my room." She said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"I'm leaving now, I'll see you tomorrow in class and you are taking my watch, in exchange I'll take yours." And he left.
Mione shrugged and continued to look into the wind wondering what had prompted both of the people who would care the lest, to come up and check on her, and why they seemed to be the only one's who figured it out.
She shrugged it off and went back up to her look out to listen to the lunch hall talk. Another thing that bugged her was the fact the Snape had seemed honest when he had said that he didn't hear anything. But how couldn't you when up here? The Voices boomed in your ear like each person was talking individually to you.
"E.S.P" that's what Mafloy had called it. Was it indeed that?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When Snape got back down to the Infirmary Madame Pomfrey was still doing her usual cleaning and organizing. She looked up and smirked as he entered.
"you see?" she said.
"What precisely was Miss Granger doing while in here?"
"Fidgeting, Acting like she really needed to be somewhere, almost as if she was addicted to the wind, and needed it badly to continue to act sanely." Poppy answered simply.
"She told you it was specifically the wind?"
"Yes, she says that she on a regular basis goes on to the roof of the astronomy tower."
"I see, Poppy, you can handle potter for now?"
"Yes, why?"
"I need to talk with the head master about this." And he left by way of floo powder.
"I guessed as much." And she went back to work.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione made a note to make sure that she went to Potions today, everyone seemed to have their eyes on her, and skipping the class would be hard to do.
When she got down there, Ron greeted her, and they waited for Snape to arrive. When he did that first words out his mouth were "Miss Granger we will talk after this class." And he went on taking away points from Neville and teaching as usual.
She made it though the class with little hardships. At the end she said bye to Ron as he went up to the Hospital wing, while she stayed behind.
Once all the students were gone, she noticed Snape suddenly looked highly exhausted.
"You alright Professor?" she asked innocently.
"You, Miss Granger will not take the after hours watch, without knowing a few things, first of all the entire staff knows of the change, but they don't know why, Dumbledore wants to keep this form as many people as possible. Second, you are not to take advantage of the situation. Third, you will not Fidget any more while in the room, you may do homework, if you want. Fourth, you are not allowed to go near theastronomy tower without a teacher in tow do you understand?"
everything prior to the last statement she was fine with, but not allowed to go to the astronomy tower?
"Why?" she asked near tears.
"Its not safe. The head master has ordained this not me. Personally, I believe you quite capable of being up there by yourself, so talk with him. Also, Mr. Malfoy has been in fits, you may want to talk with him."
"Malfoy? What does he have to do with any of this?
"Just talk with him, it will save most of us from unnecessary head aches." He stood up and waved her out of the room "Go now before I take points."
And she left.
Something was going on, She didn't know what, but she made a note to figure it out. Possibly Malfoy knew something. She decided to take Snape's advice and talk with him.
But he had Charms. It was her off hour so she went outside of the school and to the lake. If she wasn't allowed on the tower, this would have to do.
She sat down by the edge of the lake and put her hand in. The cold felt nice. She shut her eyes and swirled her hand around in it.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
AN: yes I know cliffy, sorry!
But it may be worse then it seems, it may be a while before I post the next chapter.
Ayah, I'm working on three stories simultaneously! For give me if the next one doesn't come out for another month!
