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).

I mean, if I can do the potion properly from now on. It's only been once. In the real Potioneering Guild they make aspiring Potioners brew certain things more than once before they'll declare someone has the mastery over that particular brew. For Wolfsbane it's three proper cauldrons, I looked it up. So he probably means to test me on it for at least the next two months just to make certain I can uphold the standard. And I mean, it's really, really important that Mr Lupin's potion be right, especially with little Bea in the house and Ms Tonks and all. So once he's sure I can do it, then he can move on to the other potions he needs to work on, you know, like the cure for the Sleepers and more experimental things like that.
