"Did you just get here?" Ron asked after composing himself.
"Basically, yeah," Hermione fake smiled and went back to her bag, but remembered what was on top, so she couldn't unpack, not in front of Ron, at least.
"Mental isn't it?" Ron asked her.
"What is?" She asked, adjusting lower portion on her bed.
It wasn't overly comfy, but she wouldn't have restless nights at least.
"Not being able to Owl Harry or Lucifer, what's so important that they can't know anything?" Ron asked, sitting down next to Hermione, but with about one meter in between them.
"I don't know..." Hermione said, wondering what exactly was so important.
"Oh, Hermione, I can only imagine how bad it must be for you. Lucifer is your best friend and you aren't able to keep him in the loop..." Ginny said.
"And don't bother trying to Owl anything to him.... Mum's been reading every outgoing letter anyone still in Hogwarts tries to send," Ron informed her.
"That's good to know... I guess I'll only tell him that I'll see him soon... when will we get to see them?" Hermione asked, though she already suspected.
'What did Ginny mean best friend?'
"After Harry's Birthday, Mum said, but that was only for Harry, she said nothing about Lucifer. When we asked why, she just yelled at us and told us we weren't old enough to know... honestly, if You- Know-Who really is back, I don't see why we shouldn't be told as well," Ron said angrily.
"What do you mean, if You-Know-Who really is back?" Hermione asked him, her eyes thin to indicate she was glaring at him.
"He is, he is..." Ron said quickly, "but still, why shouldn't we be told anything?"
"I agree, we should be told something, being kept in the dark doesn't help us any," Hermione crossed her arms.
"Fred and George," Ginny started, before standing up and going to check out of her room.
She looked left and right, and when she seemed satisfied, she came back to Hermione and Ron, "The Twins have been inventing some sort of Extendo-Ears to allow us to listen in on their conversations they have during meetings."
"Meetings? Meetings for what?" Hermione asked.
"Some sort of Secret Society called the Order of the Phoenix. Dumbledore heads it, but that's all we were told," Ron shrugged.
"Right... well, leave, you," Hermione said, ushering him out.
"Why?" He asked shortly.
"I have to unpack," Hermione said, putting one hand on her bag as she put her weight onto one foot.
Ron thought for a moment, and Hermione saw his face and ears redden as he left without saying a word.
Hermione was about to unpack when Tonks appeared at the doorway, "Hermione, can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure," she said and followed Tonks down the hall and into an empty room, "What's up?"
"I know you and Lucifer were with Harry yesterday," Tonks said when the door closed and she placed the Silencing Charm on the door.
"You... you do?" Hermione's heart began pounding in her chest, and she could practically hear it in her ears.
"Yes... Dumbledore has been having Harry followed daily since getting back to his Uncle's home, and that day you both took him out for the day, obviously I was his watcher, to make sure he didn't have to do any magic... I didn't step in when Lucifer threatened his Uncle, because I was afraid of those eyes...I felt those on me at back of Privet Drive....he knew I was there, and gave me a warning through Harry's Uncle....So, I didn't tell anyone in my report for the Order that you both were there, and I haven't told anyone that you both told Harry about Grimmauld Place... Was that a mistake, Hermione?"
"No, it wasn't a mistake. You saw how Harry's Aunt and Uncle treat him almost daily, he was thin, and his clothes were so baggy, he'd have to be as heavy as his cousin to fit them properly... I was with Lucifer when Dumbledore's letter came, and I showed him. He's my boyfriend, my best friend, of course I'm going to show him," Hermione said in a normal tone, she saw no reason to be nervous in front of Tonks when saw that even the woman herself looked a bit fearstruck, "that was when we decided to go to Harry... I wasn't originally going to come here, but Lucifer told me I should."
Tonks looked at Hermione analytically for a moment, "Okay, okay... I'm placing a monumental amount of trust in you, Hermione, don't make me regret this..."
"We won't, Lucifer and I," Hermione said with conviction.
"That's what I wanted to hear," Tonks smiled at her and they were both about to left the room, "Bloody hell, Hermione your boyfriend is scary.....I thought I was a goner...."
"Well, I think he is cute," Hermione returned to her shared room with Ginny to finally begin unpacking.
"Yeah, right....."
