A very short post for y'all. Since this is a short one and I know you'll want to know what happens next ASAP, I will post the one after this sooner. If that made any sense whatsoever.

Hermione

I flipped through the book lazily, leaning back in a wooden chair at the library. It was a silent day; Harry and Ron were still finishing homework and the common room was unbearably noisy. For this reason I decided to head over to one of the places I knew best and get a few hours of light reading done.

No one was there with me—or so I thought. After about fifteen minutes of reading, I heard a din coming from an isolated part of the library, behind a couple of bookcases crammed with scrolls. I heard a great deal of shuffling and movement, which were getting noticeably louder. Now, to anyone else, it wouldn’t have been very loud, but I hated distractions when I was trying to read, so I decided to march up and reprimand whoever was disrupting my peaceful reading time.

I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw what was creating all the noise. My eyes widening, I took in the whole scene in absolute horror.
