Characters: Hermione Granger, open to all with reason to be in the safehouse Date: August 5th, 1999, morning Location: Safehouse kitchen Rating: TBD Summary: The news of the attack is in the Daily Prophet. Hermione reads on in shock. Status: In progress
Wednesday morning was just like any other morning. Hermione's tears over her lot in life had dried, and she'd spent the last two days kicking herself for how upset her disappointment over China had made her. Dorcas was now doing much better, and Hermione was able to return to her usual habits; studying, researching, joining Harry in his lab when she could, and perusing the Daily Prophet and the Muggle news. This morning, however, Hermione got quite a shock over her toast.
