Hermione was meandering throughout the lodge. She had arrived there the week before and decided it was about time she checked out the rest of the place. It beat sitting in her room trying to come up with an escape plan; look how well that's been working for her. She had to admit the lodge was nice looking, but it was missing two things: Ron and Harry.
Hermione continued perusing the hallways. She could feel her wand in her front right pocket of her jeans, digging into her leg with every step she took. She was relieved when she discovered her magic still worked here. Of course, she couldn't use it to get back to Hogwarts.
She sighed and turned the corner. She noticed a man, a few years older than herself, trudging down the hallway. She almost ignored him until she saw what was in his hand. Another wizard!
