THE WORLD'S HERO
Hermione sat next to Ron at the Gryfindorr table, her elbow upon it, her hand supporting her weary head. She looked lazily to Ron who was busy chompin' up a peice of jellyed toast. Hermione yawned and let her eyes close. She hadn't been getting much sleep the past two weeks. Ever since Harry got peirced by the four shards of the large bay window, Hermione felt the over whelming urge to go to him at night. To slip into his bed and hug him possessivly to her body, craddling his head to her chest.
"Ouch!" she cried and opened her eyes, both her hands covering her nose. She focused on the bundle of white feathers infront of her.
"What did I ever do to you Hedwig?" the bird ruffled its feathers and flew away, leaving behind a small blue letter. Hermione picked it up cautiously.
"Ron. Why would Hedwig come here to deliver a note? Harry Didn't send it. He's..."
Ron turned and looked at her, his expression concearned.
"What are yea talkin' on 'Mione? Whatcha got there?" His eye brows nudged in the direction of the note.
Hermione looked tward the doors to the great hall.
"I was dreaming and Hedwig," She pointed twards the doors, "bit me on my nose and left this." She held up the blue envelope, completly devoid of writting. "And then she flew off."
"I didn't see her, or hear her, 'Mione."
Hermione frowned, tears of frustration and lack of rest welling up in her eyes. Ron caught this and went for the save.
"But, obviously she was. I was just to engrossed with my toast. Come on then. Open it up."
Hermione sniffled and let out a loud sigh. She opened the letter messily, tearing the corners off, the past few weeks leaving her to tired to care about neatness. She pulled a peach of tanned parchment from the envelope, opened it and read it.
ASTRONOMY TOWER. MIDNIGHT.
Astronomy tower? Why? She handed the not to Ron, who immediatly begain lookin it over.
"What about the astronomy tower?" His gaze was traveling all over the parchment, searching for something.
Hermione pulled the parchment down and pointed to the words.
"IT says just there that im supposed to go to the astronomy tower at midnight."
Ron blinked. "Uh, 'Mione? Where?"
"Just there." She again indicated the spot.
"The parchment's blank..." Ron trailed off, then picked up again. "You feelin' alright, 'Mione? You should get some rest. I don't think you've stopped since the accident."
"It was not an accident. And I'm fine." With that she stood quickly and left the great hall, leaving a worried Ron behind with nothing but a mouthful of toast.
