Chapter 4

The Announcement

"Excuse me?" Hermione asked when I woke up the next day. "What exactly did you mean last night?"

I had ignored all the rest of her questions and went to sleep. She apparently was looking for an answer to her questions.

"Maybe you could be more exact with your question." I pleaded, "I'm still sleepy an not all awake yet. Unlike YOU!"

"First off, why are you here to protect Harry from.....well, you know who?"

"I can't tell you, I already told you to much."

"Oh come on!"

"You will find out any way when Dumbledore tells you."

"Well if I'm going to find out any way, just tell me now not later."

"Nope, now go away." I said as I levitated her onto her bed, while still holding my pillow over my head.

"Fine!" she said, "I'll, leave you to sleep in until your next class. Which by the way is in the next 10 minutes." She stomped out of the room and slammed the door behind her.

Suddenly I got up and put on my robes. I ran down stairs to the Great Hall. I hoped I wasn't to late for class.

Then I saw Hermione, Ron, and Harry sitting down at the Gryffindor table. I sat down next to Hermione and casually ate some french toast.

I looked around at the girls around me, I would never be as lucky as them. To be able to learn so much more than I would about the world around them. I could only understand the way of life in a forest, but I guess that would be helpful knowledge to have in the time to come.

"Silence!" Dumbledore hushed interrupting my thoughts, "I want to remind everyone that winter break is coming up, and in honor of the holidays we will be making one last trip to Hogsmead tomorrow before the break." Everyone cheered.

I knew this was it, I knew that tomorrow Dumbledore would tell them. All I had to do was wait, and then I would get to see the look on all of there faces.
