Chapter 3
I awoke refreshed at five after nine. After taking my time getting dressed (in wizard clothing) and charming my hair with a frizz-free hair charm, I walked out of my bedroom and into my own mini-common room. There was a note waiting for me on the large desk. It read:
Miss Granger,
Please come to the library at 12:15 sharp. You will meet your partner and get the information for your project. You and your partner will be expected to work on the project throughout the summer and your school year. You and your partner will eventually work with another pair of students working on something similar, but not until after term starts.
Sincerely,
Professor M. McGonagall, Head of Gryffindor House
Well now I have something to do today. Now for breakfast-to the kitchens!
"Miss Her-minny!!" Dobby exclaimed as soon as I walked into the kitchens. "What can Dobby get for you?"
"Hello Dobby. Hmm..I guess I'll just have a cheese omelet and a cup of coffee," I replied.
Dobby scampered right off and came back a few minutes later with my breakfast. I at slowly, savoring each bite; after all I had a few hours to kill.
At fifteen after ten, I walked out of the kitchens after deciding that sitting there wasn't going to do me any good. My feet led me to the Hogsmeade passage behind the gargoyle. (A/N: I think that is what it was behind. Does anybody know if I'm right or wrong??) Once in Hogsmeade, I went immediately to Zonko's and bought a sugar quill. I then proceeded to walk slowly up and down the main street of Hogsmeade before going back. By this time my sugar quill was nearly gone.
I wandered down hallways, which eventually led me to the dungeons, so I went back up to the Astronomy Tower. Then I glanced at the clock, realizing I had precisely four minutes to go from the Astronomy Tower to the library. I ran like hell for the library and got there at precisely 12:14. There was another student in there as well, whose name I don't remember, who looked up and raised an eyebrow as I burst in, then went back to waiting.
Professor McGonagall walked into the library and almost immediately launched into a speech explaining about our projects, "Good. You are both here on time. Excellent. For the rest of the summer, you will both be working together on a massive research project. Eventually, you two will pair up with another pair of student's whose project coincides with yours. That won't be until after the start of term. Well then, Mr. Zambini (A/N: I know some people have Blaise as a girl, others as a guy, but he is a guy in this fic for a reason.), Ms. Granger, you had better start working today." She handed us both several pieces of parchment and continued, "The first parchment explains your assignment. The others have to do with your assignment and what you will be looking for. If you have any questions, feel free to ask Professor Dumbledore, Professor Snape, or myself. You have complete access to every book, room, and area in the castle. Mind you I said IN the castle, not out. Good luck." With a wave of her hand, Professor McGonagall left Blaise and me with shocked expressions on our faces. The reason I can tell we have shocked expressions on our faces is that there is a mirror right in front of us, although I don't know why a mirror would be in this library of all places.
Blaise looked at me and said, "Well that was quick." I agreed. We sat down at the nearest table and began to read through the parchments-and nearly died of shock when we read the first paragraph. The reason for that being of course, that it was a very shocking paragraph. Very, very shocking.
A/N: Well, yes I know it was short. I find it easier to post more often if I have short chapters. Oh and please don't kill me for not pairing Draco and Hermione together. That would have been way too easy. But don't worry, she does eventually find out he's there..thanks to his partner.who is.well, take a guess. Please review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
