Chapter 5: Book work

Disclaimer: I own the plot.

She had tossed and turned all night, trying to get the book out of her head, finally at 2 in the morning she fell asleep, still pondering who had given her this bit of knowledge. When she awoke again it was time for her to get ready for another day of classes. She rushed through her morning rituals and was down the stairs to the common room in 10 minutes flat. Heading out towards the great hall, she figured the boys would meet her there.

She arrived just as the food appeared and eagerly sat down to a turkey and cheese sandwich. It wasn't until her third bite that she felt eyes upon her. Glancing up, she saw that it was George sitting across from her again, and was trying to peak into her bag while making sure he wasn't being seen doing it.

"What are you doing?" She asked him, a smile forming on her face.

"Are you still reading that Book of Truth, I just wanted to see how far you were to knowing whatever truth it is."

Her eyebrows shot up as a small "OH!" crossed her lips. She buried her hand into the bag by her side and retrieved the book from it's depths. Without a second thought, she handed it to him to look through, 'not that he's going to get very far though,' she thought to herself.

He opened the book to the table of contents and glanced down, 'She's only to chapter 3? I figured she'd be half done by now.' Although all of the chapters were visible to him, there was a small star next to the third chapter marking her spot in the book. One of it's best features he thought.

"I've never seen this type of book before," George commented while partially lying, "It has some very powerful magic, where did you find it?"

"It was misplaced in the Library." Bending her head closer to his she continued on, "I think I was meant to find it."

"Why do you say that?" he asked in a whisper.

"I think a Ravenclaw left it there for me, more than likely a 6th or 7th year. I think he is trying to tell me he is my soul mate. The only problem is, there is no reference to this book anywhere, it's as if it popped into existence, which leads me to believe that they wrote it themselves using research to gain the knowledge for it."

Hermione leaned back in her chair just as Harry and Ron came down from the common room. Giving them a cheery smile, she continued to eat her food.

"Mornin' Mione. Post come yet?"

"No Ron, what are you waiting for?"

He shifted his eyes away from her and gave a muttered response. Since she didn't catch it, Hermione let the subject dropped and continued to look at the Ravenclaw table. 'I wonder who could have left it for me to find?' Making a mental note to ask Luna who some of the boys were in the higher years, she finished her food and retrieved her book from George.

"See you lot later, I have to go to Muggle Studies."

The three said goodbye to her and she walked briskly from the hall and up to the 5th floor. She was the first to arrive as normal, and took her seat at the back of the class. Opening her bag, she took out a different Wizarding truth book she had found in the library, and started to read through it, trying to find if there was a clue as to who could have written the first.

Hermione finished the short book by the time class started, and placed it back in her bag, even more confused than she was before. 'If he took all of his facts from all of these different books, than what he's saying is true, and he is my soul mate.' At the thought of having a person who would link to her very soul, she couldn't wait to finish reading the book so she could figure out who it was.

(A/N: I'm such a bad person. : ) I'm starting on the 6th chapter, as soon as I post this obviously. Thanks to everyone who has stayed with me since the beginning, and welcome to those who are just joining us. Also, thank you to those who leave reviews, questions are always welcome, and I will try to answer them when I can. Remember R&R please.)
