Hermione made her way to her new Dormitory, her heart feeling heavier with every step. She climbed through the portrait and collapsed onto the couch. Ernie was nowhere to be seen, thank god. He was really nice, but Hermione didn't have the patience to deal with him right now. She needed some time to think. She wanted to do something, for herself, in memory of Sirius. She went back to what she had been doodling earlier by the lake and knew at once what she was going to do. She grabbed her things and decided to make her way toward the Gryffindor Common Room. She wanted Ginny to go to Hogsmeade with her.
While she was walking, she bumped into Ron and the two of them walked on in silence. Hermione knew Ron cared about her, but she kept insisting that they should just be friends. He was like her brother. She smiled; glad the news of her fight with Harry hadn't hit him yet. "Congrats again Mione for becoming Head Girl. I'm proud of you. We all are." Hermione smiled, "Thanks Ronald." Ron smiled back. "Can you still help me with my homework sometime though, I could really use those brains of yours." He chuckled and Hermione couldn't help but laugh with him. How typical of him.
"So how are you holding up about Sirius?" Ron shifted somewhat nervously, "Well, we're all upset. Harry is taking it the hardest though. He's convinced Dumbledore was behind it." Hermione frowned. "Well, we will just have to wait it out. He's not the only one whose upset from his loss. Plus, he is acting rather childish."
The two said the password to the Fat Lady and climbed into the Common Room. Ginny and Harry were arguing quietly but stopped once the two friends entered. Harry glared at Hermione then got up and left to go to his room. Ron looked confused, "What was that about?" Hermione shook her head. "We had a row earlier. He called me a stupid know-it-all and a traitor." Ron and Ginny both opened their mouths in shock. "I told him he was being stupid for thinking he was the only one that cared..."
Ron nodded understandably, thinking Hermione was sad for her friend. But Ginny knew the real reason. Sirius's death was tearing Hermione apart. It was obvious… her frizzy hair was even more out of control than usual, she had large dark circles under her eyes, and she just wasn't her usual self. Ginny went over and hugged Hermione, whispering in her ear that she was there for her. Hermione smiled, and then pulled both Ron and Ginny into a hug. "I am so glad I have friends like you too." The two of them chatted for a while before Hermione turned to Ginny. "Would you mind coming to Hogsmeade with me? I have something I need to do and I want you to come." Ginny nodded, understanding. She turned to her brother, "Sorry Ron, girls only." Ron scowled, but then nodded, mumbling something about checking on Harry.
The two girls exited the castle with their arms linked. "So where are we going?" Hermione smiled, "I've decided to get a tattoo and I wanted you to come with me." Ginny nodded, "That's a brilliant idea Mione." The two of them walked on and reached the tattoo shop. Hermione didn't know much about wizard tattoos so she was a bit nervous. She went into the back with the owner, while Ginny sat in the waiting area for her friend. After a few hours she heard the man tell her it was finished. Hermione glanced in the mirror before bursting into tears. It's perfect Sirius, I love will always be with me, she thought before walking into the waiting room and showing Ginny.
Ginny gasped, "Wow, that's amazing." The tattoo was on Hermione's hip. There were little paw prints on a pink heart. The words "my heart will be forever yours" was written in cursive letters underneath it. Ginny started tearing up and hugged her friend. "Mione, it's perfect." Hermione could only nod. Words escaped her at that moment. She felt somewhat at peace, knowing that she'd always have Sirius with her.
They made their way back to Hogwarts for dinner and sat with Seamus and Ron. Hermione listened to the three of them go on and on about Quidditch. She would never understand that sport or why people liked it so much. After dinner, she excused herself and decided she would go to the library to do some research.
After almost two hours of searching the shelves, Hermione sat down, frustrated. She couldn't find a single book on the Department of Mysteries or the Veil Sirius fell through. She figured she'd have to find a way into the restricted section, but wasn't quite sure how she'd manage it. Maybe she could convince Dumbledore to write her a pass. She groaned. Why is this so difficult? She wondered.
She made her way back to her room, glad she didn't have rounds tonight like Ernie did. She just wanted to sleep. As she crawled into bed, she felt the tears and memories start. But she wasn't scared like the night before, she placed her hand on her hip, knowing that she wasn't alone.
