Harry caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror before he left his home. He looked pale, and there were dark circles under his eyes. He almost wished he still wore glasses, if that would help hide how obvious it was he'd gotten little sleep. he'd left work late, then been plagued by nightmare. Morning saw him not even pretending to be in bed, sitting at the table reading the Prophet and drinking coffee.

He left, eager to meet with Hermione. Besides simply wanting companionship with one of his closest friends, he had information for her, and likely she for him. That and he knew he could use her help. He arrived at the Three Broomsticks early, at about a quarter to eleven. He hadn't managed much more than coffee and toast since about 6:30 AM, but he was actually hungrier now. Not hungry enough to order before Hermione arrived though, so he merely settled down and waited at a relatively private table.
