At Long Last

Hermione and Ron had reached the screaming voice in record time.

Ron was wheezing at was leaning on the wall for support. Hermione

paid no attention but directed full attention to the person standing

in front of her with fury shaking him from head to foot.

"Harry? Harry...what's happened?" Harry didn't look at her. He kept

walking, in fact, as though nothing had happened at her was merely

angry at himself. She didnt' follow at once, as she might've under

normal circumstances...Instead, she surveryed the situation as Ron

began to stand on his own.

There were just outside of...west wing...near...

"Ron! This is Ravenclaw commonroom!"

Ron seemed unperplexed. He was staring after his best

friend with a loyalty look of wanting to get back to him. Hermione gazed at

him a moment with a bemused look mingled with blissful confusion.

"You keep an eye on him. I'll catch up soon." Ron seemed to understand although

he hardly seemed to be listening. Ron started to stride off down the corridor

when Hermione remembered something.

"Ron?" Hermione asked quietly. "Yeah?" He asked not looking at her. "Be gentle and-

think of it as if it were you."

Ron nodded. "Act like I have passion- right." He took off running and the soldier next to

where Harry'd been standing cracked open horizontally.

Hermione shook her head. 'Passion' for a password...Must've been Cho's idea.

And so, with slight faded enthusiasm, Hermione stepped through the Knight...

she felt like a fleeting triumph for a moment. She was, after all, doing her duty by entering now.
