Theme # 20: Hogsmeade


The library was silent, tonight.

It was not often that the place was totally empty. Even if there were no students - which was rare, for Hogwarts had its loners, when the researchers took to vacation, to Hogsmeade, to anything that kept them away from books - there was always the librarian.

Not tonight, though.

For tonight there would be dance and music and joy and, maybe, lit enigma, novelty. It was the eve of the Yule Ball, and a group of girls twittered happily by a narrow corridor, not too far off.

Nobody stepped into the library.

Not even Hermione Granger.
