Chapter Five: Popping Bubbles
Hermione's POV
Hermione couldn't believe it, Ginny was bi? That meant she actually had a chance! She half-
skipped down the corridor, humming a tuneless song from a movie they had watched in Muggle-
studies. Soon she was at the portrait of the Fat Lady, and stood outside for a few seconds, trying
to remember the password. When she finally remembered it (Malfoy's toupee), the painting
creaked open to cacophony of disaster.
The fifth year girls were standing in the common room in their pjs, a few were crying, one
or two had burns on their hands, all seven were covered in soot.
"What happened?" Hermione shrieked, her good mood quickly evaporating. The only
thought going through her mind was 'Where's Ginny, oh my god, where is she?' One of the girls
stepped forward.
"Some one let loose a couple of fire sprits in the fifth years' girls' dorm, and the sprits set
the curtains on fire. We were all asleep, and we didn't realize what was happening until Jennifer
came in and started screaming. We all got out of there as fast as we could, but a couple of us got
burned pretty bad." As soon as the girl finished speaking, she burst into tears.
Professor McGonagal appeared, clapping her hands for quiet. "Sadly, the fire sprits have
destroyed the better part of the dormitory, so you girls will have to share the fourth, sixth, and
seventh years' dorms tonight. Please distribute yourselves equally, and try to get some sleep.
Hopefully your belongings can be recovered in the morning." With those words, she swept out
the common room door, presumably to go back to her own rooms.
Through out McGonagal's entire speech, Hermione was still trying to find Ginny in the
mass of people who had come down to comfort the girls. She grabbed the nearest fifth year, and
asked "Where's Ginny? Is she okay?" The girl, stared at her for a second, and a tear trickled down
her face. "You know how Anna Pearson broke her leg at the last Quiditch match? Madame
Promfery said she couldn't take the Skelo-grow because she was allergic to one of the ingredients
so Anna would have to heal the Muggle way. So Ginny stayed back to help her because her
crutches had caught on fire. They're both in the Infirmary, and Madame Promfrey says we can't
do much except wait and hope."
