My Lifeline- Dramione

Micro-Phone

Chapter 6:

Hermione quickly ran down the corridor and reached the Griffindor common room and whispered "LOVE", the fat lady of Griffindor gave her a sympathetic look and opened the door.

Hermione was breathing heavily, and as soon as she entered, she was bombarded with questions.

"Gosh Hermione, where were you ?" Ron demanded, standing up from his seat and moving towards her.

Harry who was sitting near the fireplace looked at Hermione with concern, "We were so worried about you Hermione! We both were about to come and look for you and why are you breathing so heavily?

Are you okay?

Did something happen.... ?"

Hermione gave a sigh, " Harry ,Ron... I... I.. "

Ron interrupted,"Hermione, first please sit down and drink some water, then calmly tell us.."

Hermione nodded and sat down on Ron's vacated seat.

Yes if you're wondering, Ronald Weasley can be a gentleman quite sometimes.

"I don't want Ginny to hear this Harry, you know how over protective she is, this is something important."

Harry assured her, "Don't worry Mione she is upstairs changing, tell us quickly before she comes down to check on us."

"As I was walking down the corridor I heard Prof McGonagall speaking to Prof. Trelawney, asking about her presence tomorrow morning at Dumbledore's office to talk about her predictions.
And I was caught by Prof. Snape for eavesdropping!" Hermione said in one breath.

"Bloody hell! Mione, I swear Prof. Snape must have.... " before Ron could finish, Hermione grimly nodded at her fault.
"Yes, he deducted 10 points from Griffindor for eavesdropping on teachers conversation."

"Well, did Prof. McGonagall know about this?" Harry asked, not looking pleased.

"Yes, she spoke sternly and gave me last warning, sending shivers through my spine." she said feeling disappointed.

"Mione, I think it's time we use the invisibility cloak, tomorrow we shall hide in Dumbledore's office and I have to make sure to give a good excuse to Ginny!" said Harry, somewhat stressing on the last words...

"Don't even think about dragging me in between, I'm not lying to Ginny, Harry.
You better find an excuse for yourself Harry Potter." Hermione said firmly, remembering Ginny's painful Bat Bogey Hex on her twin brothers. She shuddered, and was sure that Ginny would definitely not hesitate to use that on her as well.

Harry groaned,"Why me always?"

Something suddenly clicked Ron's mind and he spoke,
"Guys, don't you think Prof. McGonagall will take all precaution since she knows that Hermione has heard her conversation? As far as I know she is aware of our invisibility cloak, isn't she ?"

Hermione was tempted to correct him, not our invisibility cloak, it's only Harry's invisibility cloak, but she was too shocked to correct him. She could feel Harry expressing the same emotion of shock and suprise.

Ron can talk something sensible at last... they both looked at each other and thought.

"Wow, Ron that's a great point and a great observation. We have to look for an alternative plan." Hermione bit her lips. Something that she usually does while thinking

Harry was thinking about the Dursley's, he remembered the micro phone his cousin had thrown away at him, since he (dursley) got a brand new one for himself. Finally, that damned thing by his damned cousin was going to come handful now.

"Hermione, I was thinking about that micro phone that Dudley threw at me.  It's a muggle device I'm sure no one in the magical world would know what that is and how it works"

Hermione beamed brightly, "That's brilliant Harry! That can work and no one would know. Do you have the micro phone with you, now?"

"Yes, I have." Harry said.

Ron was watching both of them as if they were speaking in alien's language,  "What's that bloody thing - macro .... ?"

Hermione and Harry grinned at each other, "It would perfectly work!"

Now tomorrow they have to put the micro phone in Prof Trelawney's handbag. That's a big thing to do!

And yeah since Harry gave the idea, Hermione has to do the job of placing the micro phone, but Prof. Trelawney, gosh she can't even stand her presence.

How will she do that ?
