It was a normal day in the Gryffindor common room. To a normal student nothing would be out of the ordinary, but Harry Potter was no normal student. Most may think the reason for this would be the fact that he was 'The Boy Who Lived', but that assumption would be wrong.
The real reason would be because he spent too much time around the Weasley's mainly Fred and George. He learned from them that not everything is as it seems. For one thing Hermione was sitting in the corner scribbling away on a piece of parchment.
Most 'normal' students would assume she were doing the potions essay that was due the next day. However if you were 'not normal' and always hung around the Weasley's, well you still might not know what was really going on but he also hung around Hermione Granger who happened to Be hanging around Fred and George more so than usual.
This again wouldn't make anyone too concerned unless, like Harry, you were 'not normal'. well, While Hermione is 'not normal', she is also incredibly studeous and if you really knew her you would know she had finished that essay the day it was assigned a week and a half ago. Hermione was up to something and based on the looks the Weasley twins kept shooting at her and then each other they knew what that was.
Now, on a typical day Harry would ignore this until it became a serious issue that would involve someone becoming hurt. Everyone knows ignorance is bliss, but this was not a typical day because Dumbledore had approached Harry in the halls earlier today. According to Dumbledore Someone had been sending letters to Peter pettigrew AKA wormtail and he had received a letter asking for him to put a stop to it because it was causing Peter to have breakdowns.
Now normally Harry wouldn't care, in fact he would laugh much like Sirius had when he found out but Dumbledore wasn't as amused and asked Harry talk to her about it. With an exasperated sigh Harry strolled over to the brunette. Hermione didn't notice Harry right away so coughed to get her attention. She looked up distractedly and mumbled a hello before returning to her letter.
With one last sigh Harry spoke. "Hermione, I know you're sending letters to Wormtail and while Sirius and I both appreciate the gesture, and I normally wouldn't have a problem with it Dumbledore isn't amused by it and asked me to talk to you." he said taking a seat because from the look in her eye this would be a while.
"I don't see what's so bad about it. Pettigrew is a git and deserves every letter he gets." she said tossing her hair that had fallen in her face back.
"I know that Hermione but Dumbledore doesn't think the same way as we do and he wants it to stop."
"What about freedom of speech, they can't control me!" Hermione was ranting and would start rambling any minute now if Harry didn't step in.
"Hermione I realize that but Dumbledore isn't happy about it and we really shouldn't be sending letters to death eaters anyway, it could be dangerous and I don't want you to get hurt."
"Fine I'll stop writing to the death eaters. You're going to put that in the letter to the DA aren't you?" Hermione asked.
Harry smirked "Yup."
Harry stood to go up to his dorm when another paper in front of her caught his eye. "You should probably stop sending letters to the Dursley's too." and with that he left the common room for the bliss of sleep and getting away from his friends.
