Whether she wanted to do it or not, Hermione knew she had to do what Harry had told her, so early in the morning, careful not to wake Severus, she crept out of bed, got dressed and walked to the owlery, clutching at the quill and parchment in her hand. Climbing up the stairs seemed so familiar, but now she was alone, no longer were Harry and Ron by her side. Perhaps Ron would return to help but things would never be the same. The familiar melancholy feeling washed over her, and too weak to fight it, Hermione decided not to even try. Finally, pushing open the dark brown, mahogany door, she sat at the desk and wrote the letter:
Dear Ron,
How are you? Fine I hope. You may have heard that I'm teaching at Hogwarts now, Defense against the dark arts, funnily. Its not like I've had any experience! I hear you are working for the ministry. Its great that your dad is Minister. Its all we could ever have hoped for him, no-one deserves it more!
Anyway, to the point, I'm sure you have heard about these muggle killings going on and have been told to keep an eye out. I had a dream about it last night, in which Harry told me that I needed to contact you and he told me that Lucius Malfoy is behind it. Dumbledore believes that Harry will contact us through dreams if need be so I think it may be a genuine lead. Please respond if you have any news, or even just to let me know how you are. I do think about you, and worry, an awful lot, Ron, so please get in contact!
Love to everyone,
Hermione xxxx
Hermione picked an owl, tied the parchment to his leg and sent him off, commanding him to go to Ron Weasley, at the ministry of magic. Just as she was leaving the owlery, an owl flew through the window, straight into the door, and Hermione recognised it as none other than Pigwidgeon! She ran and found a letter addressed to her tied to his leg, unwrapped it faster than she ever had before and saw that at the bottom, it was signed Ron. Her eyes scrambled to the top to top of the piece of parchment to read the whole letter:
Dear Hermione,
How are you? Fine as ever, i'm sure. I'm alright, bit buggered under all the work I get at the ministry. Not sure that you knew I worked there, but I do and Dad's the minister now, which you must know 'cause its kind of hard to miss in the daily prophet every day! The rest are all right over here, George and Fred still making practical jokes for the shop as ever. I heard you are teaching at Hogwarts. Stuck with Snape again then (Hermione smiled at this!). Rather you than me!
I'll stop putting off the inevitable. I had a dream last night about the muggle killings going on, and Harry told me that it was Lucius Malfoy, stupid git. If it is, its just the excuse my dad needs to lock him up again, Merlin knows Fudge was too lenient. Harry told me to contact you and get it under control soon. Lazy ass, can't he do it himself?! Hope to hear from you soon.
Hope all is well
Ron
Shocked yet happy at this unexpected letter, Hermione wondered how she could be so stupid to think that Harry was visiting only her in his dreams, it seemed so obvious now. She made her way to Dumbledore's office to make him aware of this new information and reaching the outside of his office, said the password, "Black Bullets", the statue moving to let her in. She edged up the stairs, a little nervous, though why she didn't know because there was no-one she trusted more than Dumbledore. She tapped softly on the door and heard the voice tell her, "Enter". She pushed the door open and made her way forward to Dumbledore who was sat in the tall backed chair.
"Is this about your dream, Hermione?" His eyes sparkled over the half moon glasses perched on his nose.
"How did you know, Professor?" She queried, a little confused.
"It seems Mr Potter doesn't just visit yourself and Mr Weasley. He told me to expect you this morning, and perhaps an owl from Mr weasley, which hasn't arrived yet though it seems he has contacted you. Very good. To my understanding, it is believed it is Lucius Malfoy behind the muggle killings, which is of little surprise to me. No doubt Draco is involved as well."
"But what you we do, Professor?" Hermione asked.
"I have ways of watching over Mr Malfoy, but it is yourself and Ron who must go after him." Dumbledore responded gravely, just as Snape woke up to find the space next to him empty, knowing something was very wrong.
