Chapter Three: A Little Dot Called Ginny
What in the world is happening to me? Hermione asked herself. Am I losing my touch? Hello!!! The Marauders map! Hermione was disappointed in herself. She thought about her stupidity and scolded herself on the way down to the Gryffindor Common Room and dormitories.
"Alohamora," Hermione said sighing. Couldn't Professor McGonagall thought of a more creative password? The young lady thought.
Hermione smiled, knowing that she would finally be able to track down her friend. Hermione tucked a strand of tangles behind her left ear, although it didn't stay there too long. Her eyes darted back and forth as she got closer to her destination, Harry and Ron's living quarters. The girl went undetected as she finally reached it, the trunk. In this trunk Hermione assumed that there would be various things like school books, his invisibility cloak and most importantly for the moment, the Marauders Map.
Hermione reached the trunk and extended her arm to open it. She pulled on it. Locked! Bloody hell! He did have a brain!
"Alohamora" Hermione said and the trunk instantly opened.
I take that back! Hermione continued. The brunette began to search for the map and to her disappointment couldn't find it. Wait a second... Harry's cloak doesn't only make people invisible objects too... Hermione recalled this from an extra-credit paper she did once. She felt around in the wooden box, closing her eyes as she did so. She found it, or felt it rather, between her index and middle fingers. She pulled it up and much to her delight; a fair-sized piece of parchment fell from inside it.
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good," Hermione said her confidence rising once more.
No way! She couldn't be! Ginny would never be there, or would she? Hermione thought in complete surprise of Ginny's location.
