The next day, Hermione woke up, and looked at the other end of the room, where Yurin's bed was, just to find it empty. Sighing, she swung her legs out of bed and made her way to the bathroom to get ready for another school day. After, she made her way down the common room to find Harry and Ron playing chess. Judging by the frown on Harry's face, anyone can tell that Ron was winning again.
She cleared her throat, which caught the guys' attention. She made her way to them and sat down on one of the couches.
"Good Morning 'Mione" Harry and Ron said in unison, bringing their gaze back to the chess bored. Ron grinned and moved his queen and said, "Checkmate! You lose again mate!"
Harry rolled her eyes and put the chess pieces back to their case, much to their protest. After storing it back to the boy's dormitory, they made their way down to the Great Hall and ate breakfast. Even though its just Wednesday, people are already planning about what are they are going to do for their fist visit at Hogsmeade. For Harry, he wasn't exactly looking forward the trip for every time they're at Hogsmeade it just reminds him of the time they spend with Sirius in his animagus form. Remorse filled his eyes but he was determined to shake it off, the last thing he needs is pity.
He could hear the girls giggling, obviously talking about boys, and third years ranting excitedly about their first visit to the magical town. He saw Ron trying his hardest not to snap out at them, for he had to admit, it was getting annoying. They still have tomorrow and the day after that to worry about it.
After two bites of toast, half a glass of pumpkin juice and 2 pieces of grapes, they made their way to the first class of the day, Charms. All of them were glad that they were just doing review and not actually doing any new work. They reviewed basic charms like the Levitation Spell, which, every time Ron pronounced wrong, Hermione corrects him. Harry looked at them in great admiration, his mind flashing back during their first year.
Before the class was over, they were able to review another lesson, the Cheering Charms, and sure enough, everyone exited the classroom, all happy and full of glee.
Next they have Potions and even though they had the Cheering Charm cast on them, they felt it wore off and replace their feelings with utter disappointment.
Entering the classroom, they found almost all the student both Gryffindor and to their disgust, Slytherin, all settled at their seats. They settled to their seat and were so lucky to find it next to each other, except for Harry who had to sit next to Millicent. He knew it was for the best, because he didn't want a reoccurrence of what happened on their second year during the dueling club where Millicent had Hermione in a headlock.
Just like what happened at Charms, they only reviewed different ingredients that they will use to make potions. He also mentioned that the only people that are going to be able to go to his NEWT class in seventh year are the people who were able to achieve Outstanding to Exceeding Expectations.
Luckily, Harry, much to his surprise got 10 owls, including Potions but not, Divination for her refuse to predict his own death and Herbology because he didn't like plants at all, he had to much of it at the Dursleys already. Ron had 9, but was still in Potions and Hermione of course had 12.
After Potions, they continued their way to went out to the grounds and proceeded to Hagrid's Hut where Care for Magical Creatures are being held. Harry, Ron and Hermione were expecting to see Hagrid, but all they saw is Professor Grubbly-Plank and they were greatly disappointed. Maybe Hagrid hasn't come back after the Aurors chased him out of his hut after that hag Umbridge ordered them too.
Just like last time, when Grubbly-Plank first took over, she taught about Unicorns but more advance. Once again, the girls were trilled to see two unicorns come out, one silver, and the other one gold. Hermione, being the curious one and always eager to learn more were one of the people who were watching the Unicorns and listening to the professor. But Harry and Ron didn't bother, they want Hagrid to be their teacher, no matter how... dangerous, as you put it, is.
Time passed slowly, but they were glad class was over. They made their way to the Great Hall to get breakfast, plus Ron keep annoying them on how he was so hungry he can eat a hippogriff. Harry and Hermione just rolled their eyes, and continued their way, they too are really hungry, but not as hungry as Ron that would want to eat a hippogriff.
While eating they talked about different stuff, like Quidditch, much Hermione's disgust, until the conversation landed about Hogsmeade.
"So guys what do you want to do?" Hermione said
"Anything, we can go to Three Broomstick I prefer that instead of that nasty tea shop," Harry said shuddering with a grin on his face.
"Yeah, or we can go to that caves where we and Snuffles usually..." Ron said trailing off, looking at Harry guiltily to see his best friend's grin fading
"Oh, sorry my mate, I didn't mean that, what I meant to say-" Ron started to ramble, but Harry cut him off
"No. Ron, its okay, you can talk about S-Snuffles if you want to, I'm not made of glass you know" Harry said his voice low
"Alright mate..." Ron said and after that silence ensued. Everyone was affected by the death of Sirius,not only Harry but also Ron, Hermione and many others. Remus was thoroughly affected and now he's staying in 12 Grimmauld all depress and sulking. He was crushed that he's best friend, last of the marauders, fell through the veil no to comeback again. Ron unconsciously pulled up his sleeves to see marks that were made by the mutated brain in the Department of Mysteries while Hermione touched her chest, where a Death Eater slashed her with a spell.
Neville was also affected for he faced the Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange the Death Eater responsible for the torture of his parents, who are in St. Mungo's because they were tortured to insanity. Not only is Lestrange responsible for the insanity of Neville's parents, but he is also responsible for Sirius death. Ginny, Ron's younger and only sister, was also with them that night. She was able to show them that she is not a little kid anymore by showing that she can fight, and also, much to Ron's disapproval, have boyfriends. There was also another person with them, Luna Lovegood, a Ravenclaw girl the same year as Ginny. Harry and the others knew that she saw death before in her life for she is able to see the Thestrals like Harry and Neville, a horse like creature that was only visible to people who saw death before.
Hermione was first to snap out of her reverie and broke the silence. All this thinking they have been doing is all and totally depressing, especially for Harry, Sirius was the closest person he considered family and now he's gone.
"So, guys, how do you think Yurin's doing?" she asked, unable to think of another topic
"Oh, maybe still resting, you know, we have to help her somehow, as Dumbledore asked" Harry said
"Can you imagine that she's not allowed to do any physical activity?" Ron said
"Yeah, like Quidditch" Harry said, and both he and Ron shuddered while Hermione rolled her eyes. What boys find amusing about a game that can break you bones and even take your life is beyond her intellect.
"I hope she's alright" Hermione said
