While she waited for news of the polyjuice potion her plan required, Hermione kept herself busy purchasing another concoction that she hoped would aid in saving Dumbledore's life while it also ruined Umbridge's. Slipping out of the Ministry a little early, she made her way to Knockturn Alley. It had been a long time since she last traveled to that familiar district. She found it interesting to discover that she'd actually missed the dark and dreary place. The area that used to frighten her as a young adolescent made her feel at home as an adult. Little did she know when she was still that idealistic child how welcoming the place and its inhabitants could really be.
