She is just making her way upstairs for bed when she hears a tap at the kitchen window. Confused, she turns around and gets her wand at the ready. Creeping to the window, she sees an owl. Instantly relaxing, she opens the window and unties the missive from the leg of the unfamiliar owl. After Hermione gives it a treat, it gives her a peck of thanks and flies away into the night. She doesnt recognise the handwriting, but her name is on the front. Opening the letter, she lets out a soft gasp.
