Walking down the stairs still dressed in her dressing gown, Hermione shuffled into the kitchen with her empty mug, Molly was sitting at the table next to Ginny, with a piece of parchment in front of them.
"Morning." Hermione said before letting out a yawn.
"Someone's tired this morning." Molly said, chuckling.
Hermione smiled,
"Sirius stole the cover off me that's why. Do you mind if I help myself to some toast?"
Molly's eye's widened and eyebrows went automatically up,
"He stole the cover from you!" She asked, shocked.
Nodding slowly Hermione began to realise what she had said,
"Oh no! Not like that! This morning, he got from his bed and took my cover from me!" She quickly recovered.
Molly merely smiled weakly and got up from the table,
"I'm afraid you will have to finish it on your own now Ginny dear, Oh and of course Hermione, you can help yourself to the bread." She gave Hermione a sincere smile before walking through the kitchen door.
Whilst waiting for the toast to pop up Hermione walked round to Ginny and peered over her shoulder,
"Oooh, your doing charms homework, you're so lucky! I'm quite obviously going to fail this year now I've missed so much work."
Ginny scoffed, "Never say 'Homework' and 'Lucky' in the same sentence again Hermione. Anyway you haven't even missed that much, only about a month or so. Dumbledore has let me, Ron and Harry off school since your return and I'm loving it!"
Hermione frowned,
"Well as long as my return isn't causing a detrimental effect on your schoolwork."
Ginny look up at her, puzzled,
"Then what? You wouldn't have returned?"
Hermione smiled,
"Since when did you become so literal?"
"Since Harry. I think he wanted a replacement female friend. And I was it." Ginny replied casually, returning to her homework.
"Replacing me so quick? Hmm, were you up when he left with Sirius?"
Ginny nodded slowly, then quickly turned around when she heard a door shut upstairs.
"Will you complete your story now?" She suddenly asked. Hermione was taken aback, then Ginny smiled and added,
"Mum told me I couldn't ask you, so I was waiting for her to go upstairs to clean out the spare room so I can ask. Please tell me Hermione! What happened after you went to Dumbledore?"

Hermione looked down and took a deep breath in, she could not blame Ginny for being curious, but still felt strange about reliving all the events that had passed by. After a quick glance at Ginny's pleading face, she sighed and began to speak.

"Within two hours of sending the owl I heard a knock at my bedroom door, Dumbledore was standing there, with my bemused parents standing either side. He told me straight away that we must get to the ministry of magic to uncover Sirius' prophecy, I readily agreed and told my parents I would explain everything on my return.
Dumbledore instantly transformed one of my books into a portkey and within seconds we were standing in the ministry of magic. Your dad was there, I think he had authorized the portkey from the inside. Anyway, he led us down through to the restricted area, the exact way we had come before to Sirius' death. But this time it did not take us long to get to the room. Dumbledore knew exactly where we were going, and we managed to enter the room within minutes. Everything was the same, the rows beyond rows of prophecies, each with their own name and story to tell. It chilled me down to the bone being there again, the candles offering no warmth. I followed Dumbledore through the corridors of glistening orbs until he stopped at a particular isle, nodding for me to go forward. I cautiously stepped through and began to score the isles for a name.
Then I saw It.
Sirius Black and Hermione Granger"
