Hermione sat on her bed crying. She had been like this since Ron had. . . Passed away. She was so depressed. Her grades were slipping, she was looking paler and thinner every day. Harry tried to comfort her, but to no avail. "Hermione, please don't cry." Harry said trying to be as comforting as possible. "How can you say that?" she asked angrily. "You don't understand how I feel! He was more than just a good friend to me! He was my soul mate!" "I know you liked Ron, Hermione. But he's gone now. There's nothing we can do." Hermione was skipping classes and the teachers were getting really mad. But Hermione didn't care. She just missed Ron. Every night she prayed that he could somehow come back to her, and she was beginning to lose faith. Then the it happened on that one miraculous night. ***** She was up late, staring out the window at the sky. She was looking at the stars when she saw a very bright one. Hmmm. . . must be the North Star, she thought. Then she realized she was on the west side of the castle. She took out the mini telescope Ron had gotten her to help her study for astrology. Then she saw it was no star. It was some strange ball of light, and it was headed straight for the castle! Of course Hermione saw no problem with this. For all she cared, she could die as it hit her. So she could join Ron, wherever he was. But the ball of light wasn't that big. Only about five inches in diameter. It came toward her at lightning speed! . . .and hit the window in front of her. It looked like a fly as it bonked off the window six or seven times, trying to get in. Hermione let it in, with nothing to lose. It began to bop around in front of her in mid air, obviously wanting her to follow it. "What? Did Timmy fall in the well again Lassie?" she asked sarcastically. But despite her cynical response she followed the little ball of light. It took her down a long corridor. It began to pick up speed, so she chased it down the hall. "Wait up!" she cried. It stopped in front of a door to a classroom. She finally caught up to it and caught her breath. "Need me to open the door for you?" she asked the little light. It shook from left to right as if it were a head shaking no. Then it shrank to about the size of a piece of dust and flew through the keyhole. Amused, she opened the door and looked at the ball of light, smiling. "Why didn't you do that to get through the window?" she teased. But soon she wasn't looking at a ball of light.
