I awoke rather early for some strange reason; there had been no dreams at all. It was amazing not having spooky nightmares! It was still dark outside; I reached over and grabbed my wand off of the bedside table. "Lumos Maxima" I said and a bright light filled the room, I blinked a few times to adjust then checked the time on my watch. It was half past 6, so why was it still dark?
I dragged myself from my bed covers and sat on the edge of my bed; I stretched out and stood up. It felt like I'd been asleep for days not just a couple of hours! I looked at myself in the mirror and noticed what an atrocious state my hair was in! It almost looked like the bird's nest from Hogwarts!
I quickly grabbed my wand from the bed and said some glamour charms to fix it, I was too lazy at this hour and I wasn't going to be tugging at my hair! I looked back at the mirror, my hair had literally transformed into gorgeous bouncy curls. Thank you Lavender Brown and your glamour charms! I replaced my pyjamas with a pair of joggers and a tank top and made my way downstairs.
I yawned and stretched as I reached the bottom of my stairs; I sped into the kitchen and put toast in the toaster. I will always cook my food the muggle way! I walked into the living room and sat down on the couch, I lay my head on the cool material and drifted off into a daydream. I was enchanted by my ceiling when I heard a spring and it immediately brought me back to my toaster. I jogged into the kitchen and grabbed the toast; I buttered it and sat back down on the couch.
I quietly ate my toast in complete silence, there was no noise whatsoever. It was fantastic! After my toast I hunted around for my book. It was actually nowhere to be found! I rushed back up the stairs taking two at a time. I ran full speed into my bedroom and searched up and down the whole house, nothing! I was beginning to panic when all of a sudden, out of the corner of my eye I spotted something outside the window.
I totally forgot all of the panic I was in about the book. A new type of panic hit me. It looked like an owl. I sprinted back downstairs and grabbed the telephone. I quickly dialled the only person I could think of that would help.
"Hello Ginny?"
"Oh, hello Mione!"
"Eh Gin can I ask you a HUGE favour?"
"Totally can babe"
"If I phone again, can you like come over like PRONTO!"
"?Umm sure Mione, what's up?"
"Oh I'll tell you if the problem should arise"
"Okay then, you do that"
"Well I better go Gin, love you bye!"
"Love you too, bye!"
I quickly hung up the phone and sprinted over to the kitchen window, there was no owl sitting on my window sill must be good! I let out a sigh of relief and collapsed onto the kitchen floor. I closed my eyes and let the panic flow out of me. I opened my eyes again and came face to face with a huge tawny owl.
I screamed at the top of my lungs and ran from the room. If there was one thing I did not want to do it was look at that letter! I ran straight to the house phone and dialled Ginny back.
"Hello?"
"GINNY, COME QUICK OH MY GOD IT'S LIKE HERE!!!!!"
"Okay, calm down everything's okay, I'll be there in a second"
"HURRY!!!!"
She hung up the phone and from behind me I heard a pop. I whipped around to face Ginerva Weasley. She still looked as stunning as always but I was too paranoid to comment. I just pointed towards the kitchen and her eyes followed my finger.
Her eyes grew wide as I watched she had seen what I had seen and I could see the fear in her eyes. Even though she would never have to go through this, it pained her to see me panicking. She rushed into the kitchen and grabbed the small letter from the owl's talons. The owl flew off out of the open kitchen window that it had originally come through.
She gestured to me with a finger and said "Come here missy" I was glued to the floor, I couldn't or wouldn't budge either or sounded good. I couldn't even make out words, I was utterly speechless. She let out a sigh and walked towards me. Her bright blue eyes filled with worry and excitement. She wanted to open it, I could just tell.
She grabbed my arm and sat me down on the couch; she sat right beside me and laid the letter on my lap. I did nothing other than stare at it for what felt like forever. Ginny then said in an annoyed tone, "Open it Hermione, Christ it's only a letter!" I could have hit her, it wasn't only a letter it was a letter which told me who I would be marrying and bearing children to. What if I didn't like them? I'd still have to. She didn't understand at all.
I just looked at her and she nodded her head towards the letter. I reached out and grabbed the letter between my trembling hands. I have honestly never been this terrified in my entire life. Not even when my mother hired a clown for my 6th birthday. Trust me that was terrifying! I exhaled and slowly ripped the Ministry seal. With every ounce of courage I could muster I reached inside the envelope and slid the letter out. I stared at the words through the thick parchment. This was the piece of paper that would tell me what kind of life I would lead, who my husband would be!
I flipped it open; I could feel Ginny's breath on my ear.
