Characters: Hermione Granger and Terry Boot Setting: Terry's place Summary: A surprise visit
Most people probably had plans of a Friday evening, especially so close to Valentine's Day. Hermione was not one of them, and after dinner she wandered around her flat, tidying a few things and then sitting down with a book. Normally, she could lose herself in a story and the hours would go by without notice, but that night she was too restless to concentrate.
She couldn't really pinpoint it, but something was bothering her. Ron was continuing to be a git and Harry and Ginny were constantly pre-occupied with each other, but that still wasn't entirely it. Giving up on the reading idea, Hermione put her book down and picked up her scarf and coat instead. She had seemingly already made up her mind on where she was going without even clearly thinking about it.
Hermione apparated close to where Terry lived and then walked the rest of the way, pulling her coat tighter around her. She didn't mind the cold, but didn't really want to freeze to death either. Pausing when she arrived at the front door, she almost had second thoughts and half-turned to leave again. But she wanted to see Terry, even if it was quite possibly a bad idea.
