Chapter 3: Enjoyment and puzzlement.
It turned out Hermione was correct (as usual), she was correct about one of the things she thought being a bouncy-castle. And after an hour of bouncing round on it, we finally had begun to feel sick. So we decided to go for a walk round and explore some more things. When Hermione called us over to a very boring looking object. We all gradually drifted over to her with much reluctance. We all recognised it as a type of telephone, except it looked a bit different. It was a lot larger and where you would usually talk into there was a few long tubes so a number of people could talk at once into it. Ron walked over to it and flicked it, the large speaker like object above us stayed silent. So I walked over and said, "Hello, my name is Ginny". The speaker suddenly began to respond. I was very surprised to hear Dracos voice snarling back. Colin jump back in fright. He was complaining about how stupid this whole idea was, and about how his father would be having a word with Dumbledore. We all looked around confused. After a while we decided we would move on and ignore it.
After just a few seconds we soon started to amuse ourselves again with a giant slope made out of the same stuff as the bouncy castle. It was very bright! Just as I remembered. We climbed to the very top of some very bouncy stairs (which was very difficult but fun, believe you me). When I got to the top I took a deep breath and lunged myself forward on my belly. It was incredibly scary as the drop was quite deep. We all had just two goes each and moved on again. We spent the rest of the day wondering round, watching things called films (which were new to me) under a tent, and testing all types of food some of us had never before.
When we begun our way back to Hogwarts it was quiet dark and it had begun to rain softly in the big star-filled sky. We spotted Hagrid on the way and made our way towards him, he didn't seem his cheery self and hurried away pretending not to see us. We looked at each other puzzled for a few seconds and begun once again towards the castle. When we arrived there I went straight to the girls dormitory and changed. When I came out to get a drink of water I spotted Harry, Hermione and Ron all huddled round a very upset Neville. I walked towards them and said in a worried voice "Neville, what wrong, are you ok? When Ron interrupted me and said, "Not meaning to be rude or anything Ginny but shift it". Slightly taken back gave him my I'm telling mum look and walked in to the dormitory puzzled.
I'd planned on reading for a while, but as I lay there I drifted into a dream about Neville crying. I had the strangest dream ever. I dreamt I seen Gildroy Lockhart in a type of prison cell, he was sobbing and muttering something to himself. He seemed quiet distressed. But before I knew it I woke up instantly and with a fright. Hermione was pacing up and down looking terribly sad and she also started with fright. There was a moment's silence in which we stared continually at each other. Until we both simultaneously said, "You ok?" I quickly replied yes, and so did she. This left me feeling very confused. This whole day had been very confusing in-fact ever since we seen Hagrid looking down.
I didn't really know why I didn't tell her about the dream I had just had, but I had a bad feeling about it. I drifted into an uneasy sleep, during which I woke up and fell back asleep countless times. So by the time the morning came I had bulky bags under my eyes and decided to pull the duvet back over my head, I fell asleep instantly, strangely enough. Until I was woken by Lavender (a girl in Harry's year). She asked me if I was ok as I was usually an early-riser and informed me that it was half past 12! I groaned and thanked her, and slowly found the will power to get up and changed. I walked down in to the common room for another magic-free day.
