THE NEXT DAY (Tuesday)
IN HERMIONE'S DORM
'What the,' thought Hermione as she was woken by a cold liquid on her cheek. As she sat up & wiped her eyes, she checked her clock 7am. 'It can't already be seven o'clock,' she thought yawning. Then she realized that she'd left her window near her bed open. When she got out of bed she notice that the cold liquid, that had woken her up, was the rain which was now pouring through the open window. She tried to shut the window, but it wouldn't budge, 'Not now,' she thought, then she had an idea "Am I a witch or not?" she muttered to herself. She quietly walked over to her bed-side table & retrieved her wand, which she pointed at the window. Then she ran to the window & started to hit the wood of the window repetitively with her wand. After about two minuets the window slid shut and Hermione lay down on her bed & began to drift off to sleep again.
Then there was a knock at her door, then another….
IN HARRY & RON'S DORM
"Ron! Ron wake up it's raining! You know what that means, so get up!" said Harry as he began to poke at his best friend. "C'mon we've gotta go get Hermione! She'll kill us if we don't go & get her!" Ron's eyes flew open at the mention of Hermione's name. With that Ron got up & threw on a robe & along with Harry went to wake Hermione up. "Harry, how are we gonna get up there, the stairs turn into a slide whenever we try to go up there," Ron pointed out once they had entered the common room. Then they heard a 'hoot' come from the corner of the room, "Hey, look it's Pig! We can send him up with a letter to Hermione," said Ron, Harry just stared at him with a shocked look on his face. "What?" asked Ron, "That's actually a good idea," said Harry, before he grabbed a piece of parchment & scribbled a quick note to Hermione. "Catch Pig, I've got the note," said Harry, "How do you suppose I do that?" asked Ron, "I don't know! It's your owl, if it's anything like you just show it some food & it'll come," said Harry chuckling. "Ha-ha very funny," said Ron sarcastically, as he dug into his pockets & pulled out a sandwich wrapped in glad-wrap. "Come on Pig, come get the yummy sandwich," Ron said beckoning the owl to the food, it worked. Pig flew straight into Ron's outstretched hand, then Harry attached the letter to Pig's leg & off went the owl up the staircase.
HERMIONE'S DORM
'Jesus! What now?' thought Hermione, as she went to the door & opened it. A little owl flew in & perched itself on Hermione's bed. "Pig?" said Hermione as she took the letter off Pig's leg, it read:
Hermione,
We are so sorry about waking you up, but guess what?
IT'S RAINING!
You know what that means…
Meet you in the common room in 3minuets, ok?
Love
Harry & Ron
'Great! No sleep for me,' thought Hermione as she got dressed (in muggle clothes) & headed to the common room.
IN THE COMMON ROOM
As Hermione descended down the stairs she noticed two familiar figures. Harry & Ron were already dressed & waiting. When they noticed Hermione had they got up & went over to her. "Why are we up & where are we going again?" asked Hermione, "Don't you remember?" asked Harry shocked, Hermione shook her head. "You'll remember once we get there," Ron assured her. With that they were on their way.
IN THE CORRIDOR
"Can't you just tell me where we're going?" pleaded Hermione, "I can't believe you can't remember," groaned Harry, who was dragging Hermione by one arm. "It's like our tradition!" added Ron, who was pulling Hermione by her other arm.
"We're here!" announced Harry suddenly, stopping in front of a door, which had just appeared. "I know where we are! We're at the room of requirement, but why?" asked Hermione, thinking. She looked around the room for clues. "Of course," she muttered, "I completely forgot! Thank-you so much, I never would've remembered," said Hermione hugging Harry & Ron. "You would've forgotten?" said Harry in mock outrage.
'Omg,' thought Hermione as she lay her head down on a pillow, between Harry & Ron. 'How could I forget, I mean we do this every rainy day, just us three, I love rainy days,' thought Hermione happily. She joined her two best friends in looking up at the ceiling. It was so calming & relaxing. "Thanks," Hermione whispered to her two best friends. They grinned back at her, making her giggle.
Every rainy day ever since the trio had become best friends, they went to a room & watched the rain, their two favourite places to watch it rain were: the Great Hall, because you could just watch the ceiling & not get wet but still feel like you were actually in the rain. And their other favourite place was the room of requirement, because the ceiling would become just like the Great Hall's ceiling.
"This is nice," said Hermione smiling to herself, "What do you mean?" asked Ron looking at her quizzically. "Us, just us being together, we don't get a lot of time to just talk & be together, ever since Pat, Lavender & Ginny became a part of our group, we barley ever just hang out," said Hermione thoughtfully. Harry & Ron nodded, "It is nice," Harry agreed. For awhile they just lay there enjoying watching the rain & just being in each other's company.
Finally the rain began to die down Hermione's voice broke the comfortable silence. "What time is it?" Harry glanced at his watch, with that he jumped up. "Time to go apparently," said Ron, getting up & helping Hermione up.
"Let's just say it's eleven already, you do the math," said Harry, then he looked over at Ron who had begun to count his fingers. Ron stood there for awhile, until Hermione slapped him in the back of the head & walked out the door, closely followed by the boys.
