« 5. Invitation »

Tap tap

The Gryffindor groggily opened her eyes and saw a white snow owl sitting on the porch of her window. She let the bird in and was given a letter, then it left.

Hermione took the letter that was handed to her. The felt-like paper was entirely black with emerald ink letters printed on the back.

'Invitation to the ANNUAL Afterlife Gathering'
-Hermione Jean Granger'

She took the seal of the letter and took out a white parchment with neat sentences also printed in emerald green ink.

'You have sincerely been invited to MR T. M. Riddle's masque to celebrate his 28th year of reigning this land.

ANNUAL AFTERLIFE GATHERING

Saturday 13th June
6-11 PM
Riddle Citadel
3rd Floor Ballroom

Hope you'll have a pleasant time.'

Hermione stared at the invitation, then she remembered she was still in her pjs and have nothing to wear.

'Where am I suppose to find a formal dress in just a day? Do they have a shop here?...Probably'

She placed the letter on the bedside table and fell back to the mountain of pillows. She gazed at the ceiling, wondering. She kept silent until her eyes went wide and darted across the room and slamming the door. She ran around the hallways then halted in front of a door with her hands on her knees, trying to catch her breath. She knocked on the door.

The door opened and Hermione felt the person in the room staring at her.

"Merlin Granger, done trying to lose all that weight?"

The Gryffindor glared at her.

"I was..just wondering..whether you knew where...to get any formal dresses," she panted, straightening her posture.

The Slytherin went out the doorway and waved her hand towards her. Hermione followed, muttering under her breath about how she had to use her legs again.

They both strolled peacefully around the different rooms. Light dancing around from reflecting different items in each room. The brunette was trying to take a glimpse at everything new and interesting, with (Y/n) gradually slowing down her pace for her.

"YOU GET BACK HERE NOW"

The Gryffindor was too into the antique vase to notice the booming voice coming from the other side of the hall. The Slytherin immediately grabbed her arm, pulling her in a dark corridor.

"Stand back you idiot!"she whispered-yelled . Hermione furrowed her eyebrows, staring into the Slytherin's eyes.

The bushy haired girl kept her eyes on the fascinating creature. She stepped forward, forgetting the instructions.

She stared at its feathers, not realising the hippogriff was coming closer to attack. She then felt someone forcefully grab her.

'Stand back you idiot!"

The brunette looked up to and saw the Slytherin.

They kept staring before the taller girl pushed her away, not wanting anyone to see what has happened.

She walked away quickly, leaving the Gryffindor confused.

The kept staring at each other. Big brown eyes meeting (e/c) ones. The (h/c) still kept her arm securely on the brunette's.
Both chests touching one another.

"I SAID WHERE IS SHE"

They both jumped as the voice has heard again. (Y/n) looked anxious as she took out her wand and casted an invisibility spell. She grasped Hermione's arm tighter and started running.

"Lets find your dress quickly, shall we."
