Chapter 9: Illic (at that place)
Thanks again for the reviews! Reviews keep me alive!
O, sorry I didn't update yesterday. I put on another fic, a short songfic
called Promise, so I got run of time.
Harry awoke. He realized it was a Hogsmeade weekend, but he didn't feel like going. He looked at Ron's bed. It seemed he was up already. Wondering if Ron was planning to go, Harry dressed and entered the common room. Ron was sitting across Ginny. They were in a conversation about Hogsmeade.
'Why not?' Ginny asked, slightly annoyed. 'Because I can't! I'm really not in the mood to go!' Ron replied brisk. Harry sat down next to Ron. 'I am not going to Hogsmeade,.. what about you?' asked Harry. Ron shook his head. 'Me neither'. Ginny stood up, looked from Ron to Harry and sighed. 'You two need to forget Hermione! There is no way she will return!' Ron stood up, making fists. 'And you call yourself a FRIEND?' Ginny took a few steps back. 'H-hold it,.. I-I' she began. But Ron was mad like hell. he pushed her aside and walked over to the door. He opened it and looked at her with fury in his eyes. 'You have 3 minutes to go, if I return and you're still here, I won't be able to keep myself in controle!' he shouted before leaving.
Ginny left immediatly after him, leaving Harry alone with his thoughts. There had to be a way to get to Hermione,.. they had to find out where she was. He slowely flicked his wand in his left hand. Somehow, he had to do something. His eyes looked round the room. There was no one there. He was alone.
Hermione closed her eyes in protest to wake up. But her hands pushed away the blanket. Shivering she got up. The light shining through the curtains was blinding. It was as if the sun was right in front of the school...
Suddenly, Hermione walked over to the window, gazed outside and clapped her hand in front of her mouth at the sight of two girls who read a magazine. Of course! Why hadn't she thought about it before? This was probably the same place where the Quibbler was printed, because Luna's father was the editor! She quickly grabbed one of the Quibbler magazines from her trunk and opened it at the first page. There, in small black fonts; The Quibbler, printed at Soleil School for Sorcery, Labores Solis 22.
within seconds, Hermione had rubbed her hand and contacted Harry. 'Harry, it's Hermione,... I know where I am!' Harry almost fell of his chair of surprise. 'You know? Where? Where are you?' he replied quickly. 'I'm at Labores Solis 22,... use the Book of Wizarding Ways & Places to find it,...' Hermione said. Harry looked around. He knew that he had seen the book around somewhere. 'I'll look it up. Talk to you again.' He finished, quickly getting to his feet and searching for the book. There it was, on one of the shelves, between the books 'Gryffindor; a history on succesfull Quidditch matches' and 'The Lion within our hearts'.
When Harry opened the book, Ron came walking in, looking around to see if Ginny was anywere. 'She left' Harry informed him. Ron sighed and sat across him. 'What are you searching?' he asked, his eyes reading the title of the book. 'I'm searching for Labores Solis,.. the place where Hermione is' Harry said simply. Ron's mouth opened in surprise. 'Really is she? Really is- wait a minute.' Ron sat up and straightened his back. 'How would YOU know?' he asked suspicious. Harry grinned. 'That's something between Hermione and me. Well, are you planning to help me search or do I have to rescue her myself?' Ron got up immediatly.
'Here it is' said Harry, after searching for about 2 hours. 'Labores Solis,.. it's pretty far away,...' Ron bend over to look at the page. 'It is,.. that place is not far from Azkaban...' he added. Harry got up, carefully carrying the book across the room to the table where he lay it down. 'Are you ready?' he asked Ron, turning around to face him. Ron raised his eyebrows in question but then nodded. 'Yeah, let's go.... but how?' Harry's smile faded. That was another problem... how would they get there?
