Key
"Where's the key!?" Harry shouted, scanning the sea of fluttering wings with his heart pounding out of his chest. Every minute he wasted was another minute for Snape to get to the Stone…
"It's there!" Hermione nudged him and raised a shaking finger at the huge, bronze wing hovering wonkily in the left corner of the room.
Harry felt unbelievable relief and, without thinking, he grabbed his startled friend and pressed a kiss to her cheek. "Thanks Hermione!" he yelled, and grabbed a broomstick.
As Harry took off, Hermione raised a trembling hand and touched her glowing cheek. "Oh," he breathed.
