Harry Potter and the Love Potion
Part XIV
By: Sapphire Rose

Now if you were paying attention carefully throughout the morning no one has seen or heard of Hermione. If you walk down a few corridors and climb a few stair cases you would find her in one of the bathrooms. As a matter of fact she was in Morning Mertil's Bathroom. No one goes in there anymore because the ghost of Morning Mertil haunts it. Day and night the ghost morns. This was a perfect place to hide something or keep something hidden. Hermione was locked up in one of the stalls hovering over a cauldron. She was preparing a potion and there was a huge smile on her face. All day she has been working on this waiting for it to finish. Along her right side leaned up against the wall was a book that was open to a page. The book looked old and moldy. It just happened to be one of the books from the Restricted Section of the library. You needed a signed signature from a teacher to get a book from there. Hermione kept on stirring the contents in the cauldron and checking the potion book to see if she was doing it the right way. Right now she was thinking about something.

Morning Mertil was in her usual stall crying her eyes out over something or other. But hearing a noise coming from another stall caught her interests. She wondered who could have wandered into her bathroom since she rarely had any visitors. Someone was laughing a few stalls away, and the laughing was pretty loud. She checked it out and realized it was none other then Hermione Granger. And once again she was brewing something in a cauldron only this time she was by herself and wasn't accompanied by either Ron Weasly or Harry Potter. Mertil thought this was very strange. Hermione turned in Mertil's direction and she was a bit shocked at first but she maintained her composer.

"What are you working on Hermione?.Where's Ron and Harry?"

"Oh.hi Mertil, I'm not working on anything special, just something I'm doing on my own time."

She tried acting normal so Mertil wouldn't realize she was up to something. Hermione closes the Potions book so Mertil couldn't see what she was working on. Mertil wasn't sure but something didn't seem right. Hermione wasn't acting like herself. Mertil started to become very suspicious of Hermione's actions.

"Well.what's in the cauldron?"

"Nothing really."

"Fine if you don't want to tell me anything I'm leaving."

Mertil floats away and heads back to her stall where she starts crying once again to Hermione's distaste. Hermione then goes back to working on her potion.
