Hermione Jane Granger

All right, you can stop scowling at me. I wasn't going to tell you but I asked Ev for the key. She'll want it again at the weekend, though. Now, will you leave off?

....

So. Birthday tomorrow. Big one, too, right? Any particular plans? I imagine Daphs has something planned, she seems to be going out of her way to think of everything these days.

Is.... I mean, are you pleased with your arrangement with her? What I mean is, we seem to have loads of feigned relationships lately and it'd be, er, nice to think someone's actually enjoying themselves.

George, if you can share this with Lee and Fred, I'd appreciate it.

Mrs Longbottom asked me to work on escape strategies for the Juniors. Sally-Anne and I were talking this weekend and actually she's designing rings like the one Mr Archer wore. You wouldn't know unless you read back to when he died, but he always had a little snake ring and it was filled with poison and he could activate it to poison himself if MLE ever tried to question him, which is how he died.

Well, she's working on them but that's an absolute last resort because no one honestly wants to get poisoned and die! But without reliable portkeys we will need to think of something else.

I didn't mention the Map when we were talking about our assets and I noticed you didn't either. I think that's probably good. I mean, really it's Harry's more than mine but even so, it's not something I necessarily want the ISS crowd to know we have because they might want to use it all the time.

But I was thinking, maybe we should work on clearing out one or two of the caved-in tunnels so we have another way out of the castle if we need it?
