Order Only

I had hoped to meet up with Ron tonight for another practise session with him and Professor Dumbledore, but maybe I missed him? Or misunderstood the time. I was backed into the alcove of the statue of Bufarious the Befuddled, which is a good place to look at the students coming from three different directions, without them being able to spot me. (It's deeply in shadow, too, and the fact that Cedric turns my fur black after I transform in the morning makes me even less visible).

Hermione, you walked right by me without seeing me. You looked so happy, almost like you were floating on air.

I had to put my head down on my paws and shut my eyes to tamp down the urge to go after you. But it was great to see you, if even for just a fleeting moment.

Ron, I'll stay here for another hour if you still want to meet up tonight (just transformed quick to write this up when most everyone is in dinner).
