It was finally the holidays. Christmas break was here and it was very muchly take for granted. Hermione was surprised to see that Harry and Ron were doing they're homework this early in the vacation, AND this early in the morning. They'd been up early so they wouldn't have to wait till the last minute for homework, and so they could get a good seat in the Great Hall.
"I'll see you guys in a bit. I'm gonna go find some seats, see you!" Hermione smiled and walked out of the common room. Harry and Ron went back to their boring essays for Professor Binns.
Hermione walked down the dark halls. Morning was dawning and the sun had crept over the peaks of the mountains in the distance. Light soon flooded the halls. Hermione's glossy hair shined in the morning sun. Her teeth had remained smaller when she had shrunk them as a fourth year. She was now a beautiful 6th year. Her eyes were transfixed on the door to the Great Hall. The door which would lead to food. She entered the Great Hall and the sounds of happy Hogwarts students suddenly came into hearing. Even Neville was up early.
Hermione sat down and set her stuff down to save seats for Harry and Ron. Then abruptly, a man caught her eyes. He was very tall and had a black cloak around him. He had short, spikey balck hair and was walking up to the staff table. He stopped and was talking to Dumbledore. Hermione stared at him.
"Hey Hermione!" It was Harry. Hermione jumped five feet into the air. She let out a shriek. "Sorry."
"It's ok, Harry. Just..don't do that again. She smiled at him. Harry sat himself down next to Hermione and Ron next to Harry.
"Who's that?" Ron asked. Hermione and Harry both shrugged.
"He's an Auror from the ministry, duh!" A voice spoke. It was a 7th year Slytherin girl. One of the more "nicer" Slytherins. "Yeah. Supposedly he was one of those Head Boys a few years ago. He was really close with Dumbledore. Like you, Harry." She smiled and walked toward her seat and sat down.
Dumbledore stood up. "Students, if you will please... Yes. This is Mr. Dret Falconis. He is an Auror from the ministry and will be gaurding the school until further notice. He's been assigned this job for your safety. I cannot tell you why, but I can say that with him here, you will be perfectly fine." Dumbledore smiled and sat back down. Whispers began filling the room. Everyone wanted to know why an Auror was here.
