Hermione watched as he unfurled the parchment, and stared in amazement at the strange writing on it. The magic she had felt at first only intensified when it was open, but looking closely at it didn't help any. She had never seen anything like this before, and had no idea what it could possibly be, or why Harry had it in his possession. Especially without telling anyone else he had it. She carefully reached out to touch it and almost felt a pulse from the magic it held.
"I haven't the slightest idea what that is, but it definitely isn't Runes." Runes had been one of her favorite subjects at school, she was quite familiar with the topic, and this was alien to her. "It seems saturated in magic, I have no clue if it is dangerous. It doesn't feel dangerous, but it doesn't feel right either." Hermione was torn between taking it straight to the Ministry, or sharing it with the DA first, to see if any ideas could be made over this. Perhaps someone there would have known, maybe someone Harry had worked with, or who may have been with him when he found it. Perhaps he'd only come across it close to his death, and that was why they hadn't heard anything from him about it. But whatever it was, clearly it was important, or he wouldn't have placed it in that hiding place. "What do you think we should do with it? Ministry or DA?" Hermione was starting to lean more towards the DA herself.
