Chapter 7: Getting Nowhere
"This is hopeless!" Blaise exclaimed, "It's only our second week, and we've already gone through the five books without finding anything that we didn't already know!"
Slamming the last book down on the table I replied, "Yeah. I think know the only thing we can do is to go through each room separately. Like make a list of all the rooms and just go through every single book in all of them. Then we can talk to all the paintings," an idea struck me, "Have you talked to Draco?"
He raised an eyebrow, "No, why?"
"Maybe they know something we haven't figured out yet. After all, aren't they working on the same thing as us?"
"You have a point Hermione; I'll try to talk to Draco tonight, although it's nearly impossible to find him at times. Sometimes he just goes off wandering around all night, and it's really annoying if you are trying to talk to him," he stood up and stretched to his full height of 6'1. Malfoy was only half an inch taller. Ginny is five-foot-seven I think, yes that's right, and I am five-eight, or somewhere thereabouts. Harry is 6'1; Ron is a very tall 6'4. Fred and George are both 6'0, and Oliver Wood, now a pro Quidditch player for Ireland, is 5'11 and ½ according to Quidditch Weekly. (A/N: I made it up.) Looking down on me he asked, "Do you see Ginny much?" Now it's my turn to raise an eyebrow.
"No, not much," I admitted truthfully, "If I see her though, I'll ask her."
He nodded, "OK. I'll see you back here tomorrow morning at nine, right?"
"Yeah. Unless you'd rather meet me in the kitchens for breakfast at nine," I said.
"Where are the kitchens?" he asked, looking slightly confused.
Laughing I replied, "Meet me outside the library doors at nine, and I will show you where the kitchens are. Okay?"
"Yeah sure. Just one question, how do you know where the kitchens are?" His dark gray eyes were full of curiosity.
Smirking as I remembered, I replied, "Fred and George Weasley."
He took the hint and smiled a knowing smile, "You know your smirk rivals Draco's," he chuckled, "I'll have to tell him he's got competition for the evil smirk!"
Grinning at him I said, "You're not the first one to say that."
"Oh really? Well then, who got that honor?" he asked smiling.
"Ginny-she is his partner you know," I smiled sweetly at him.
He laughed, "Yeah I should have known. Speaking of which, I am going to be late to the pitch. Captain Malfoy will have my head if I'm late for our little Quidditch Practice. Good thing I remembered it, I'd completely forgotten, although I wouldn't be surprised if he had too," packing his stuff up he said, "I'll see you tomorrow then, and I'll ask Draco what they've found later. Bye Mione!"
"Bye!" I hollered, packing up my own stuff as well and watching the tall Slytherin leave the library at an easy jog. Shaking my head as I remembered the conversation I had had with Ginny the week before, I left the library, heading for my own room for a nice, relaxing bath.
A/N: Well? What did you think? Leave a review please!!!!!
