Chapter 125: Startled Awake, Once Again
The thud of Hermione's fall echoed through the quiet corridors of Grimmauld Place, abruptly rousing the rest of the group from their slumber. One by one, they emerged from their rooms, concerned expressions etched on their faces.
Ron: "What happened? Why did we hear a noise?"
Mrs. Weasley, her motherly instincts kicking in, rushed towards Hermione's room.
Mrs. Weasley: "Oh, dear! Hermione, are you alright?"
Harry, still feeling guilty, quickly stepped forward to explain the situation.
Harry: "I'm sorry, everyone. I went to wake Hermione up and it startled her, causing her to fall. She's okay, just a little shaken."
The others sighed with relief, their worry dissipating.
Tonks: "Well, let's help her up and make sure she's alright."
With compassionate concern, they all gathered around Hermione, making sure she was steady on her feet once again. The unexpected interruption left them wide awake, prompting a decision to gather and discuss the troubling dreams and visions that had plagued them throughout the night.
