Lust for Knowledge

I was sitting with Hermione upstairs as we heard yelling outside, we both walked to the end and leaned over the banister.

“Is that an owl?” Hermione asked,
“You haven’t seen him, have you? He’s wandering about the house.” Ginny spoke,
“Really?” I asked.

“Really.” We all heard Harry, Hermione and myself smiled at each other and went downstairs quickly.

I saw Mrs. Weasley give Harry a hug then I went to but we both stopped, as we didn’t which way the other was going, I laughed as Harry stood still and I hugged him finally.

“Why didn’t you let us know you were coming?” Mrs. Weasley asked, as I stepped back,
“I didn’t know. Dumbledore.” Harry explained,
“Oh, that man.” Mrs. Weasley smiled, “But then, what would we do without him?” Mrs. Weasley laughed.

I looked at Ron in confusion as he tried to touch Hermione’s cheek,
“Got a bit of toothpaste.” Ron spoke, I laughed a little.



We were sitting up in Ron’s room as I was sitting at the table. Harry was turning a small piece of paper, which was burning slowly as I was writing a letter to my parents.

“So when did you get here?” Harry asked looking at Hermione,
“A few days ago with Mei.” Hermione replied, “She has been staying at my house most of the summer.” Hermione added, “Though for a while, we thought we weren’t coming.” Hermione explained,
“Mum sort of lost it last week. Said Ginny and I had no business going back to Hogwarts. That it’s too dangerous.” Ron spoke,
“Oh, come on.” Harry spoke,
“She’s not alone. Even my parents, and they’re Muggles, they know something bad’s happening.” Hermione explained.

“Anyway, Dad stepped in, told her she was being barmy and it took a few days, but she came around.” Ron explained,
“But this is Hogwarts we’re talking about. It’s Dumbledore. What could be safer?” Harry spoke,
“There’s been a lot of talk recently that… Dumbledore’s got a bit old.” Hermione spoke,
“Rubbish! Well, he’s only… What is he?” Harry asked,
“I’d give a guess at a hundred and fifty… maybe add or take away a few years.” I replied casually still writing my letter.

The others started laughing as I smiled to myself. As Harry looked over to me, I crossed my legs and then folded the letter.

“I bet your wondering why I’m wearing a dress.” I spoke putting the letter in an envelop, I sealed it and looked towards Harry as I stood,
“Well Harry has been looking at you since he got here.” Hermione joked,
“Only because I am actually wondering why you’re wearing a dress… the only time I’ve ever seen you dress like a girl is at the Yule Ball…” Harry spoke quickly, I smiled and given my letter to my mothers black owl, Noir. He jumped on my hand as I leaned towards the window and let him fly.

“It’s because I saw some people about becoming a singer today.” I explained,
“Really?” Harry asked, half surprised, I nodded,
“I needed to look the part… but it didn’t go too well.” I explained and sat back down, “Made a complete moron out of myself.” I held my forehead, Hermione laughed,
“I think you sang beautifully.” She spoke,
“Yea, you would… but they noticed me say cock instead of lock…” I spoke, Ron and Harry laughed, “See…” I pointed at the boys, “Immature you both are,” I laughed hitting them both on the shoulder as Hermione started laughing again. I couldn’t help but start laughing along with them.

“Give us a twirl Mei.” Ron joked I stood up and twirled in a circle as Hermione joked about by clapping,
“Thank you my lovely fans. I’m so pleased you could attend my twirl.” I joked as the others laughed along.
